I’ve been lucky to serve as Mayor of Denver, Governor of Colorado, and now, Senator. But the greatest job in the world is being Dad to my two boys, Teddy and Jack. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!

Her reporting made Colorado better, and her passion, humor, and integrity will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones. (2/2)

Lynn Bartels was a one-of-a-kind person. That’s not a cliche she would have tolerated in a story, but it’s the truth about her. She had a knack for breaking big stories, asking smart questions, and holding all of us accountable. (1/2)

Americans already paid the price for Trump’s illegal war through months of higher costs. Meanwhile, Iran stands to receive hundreds of billions in post-war relief. Iran gets money back. You don't. It’s despicable. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/w...

Happy Juneteenth! Today we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. As we look back, we’re also looking forward. The fight continues for America’s promise of a country with TRUE justice for all.

This “deal” leaves the U.S. worse off than before this illegal war. A complete failure and humiliation. (3/3)

Just for Mr. “Art of the Deal” to: → Let Iran have $300 billion → Reopen the Strait of Hormuz, that was free and open before the war → Unfreeze sanctions on the regime → Place no limits on Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon (2/3)

So you’re telling me that: → Trump took us to war with Iran → Gave us no strategy or plan → Spent billions of dollars and depleted our military stockpiles → Sent gas prices soaring at the pump for Americans → Threatened the livelihoods of our farmers and ranchers with rising fertilizer costs (1/3)

ICE isn't targeting the “worst of the worst.” They’re separating families and profiling people based on their skin color or the language they speak. It’s cruel and un-American. abcnews.com/US/3-recent-...

$100B spent. 14 servicemembers lost. Military stockpiles drained. Costs soaring. Trump’s “deal” with Iran puts the U.S. in a worse position than we were before his illegal war began.

Everyone deserves a place to call home. The bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act makes it easier to build more housing, lower costs, and expand opportunity. Let’s get it done! www.politico.com/live-updates...

Easy fix: release the MOU. If it’s a strong deal, there should be nothing to hide.

$300M of YOUR taxpayer money for Trump’s gold-plated ballroom? HELL NO.

Colorado families are shelling out $3,300 MORE on average since Trump took office. Washington needs to get back to focusing on what matters: making life more affordable for working Americans.

Donald Trump said taxpayers wouldn’t pay a dime for his gold-plated ballroom. He lied. Working families shouldn't be stuck footing the bill for a vanity project while costs keep climbing. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Coloradans know there’s no place like Red Rocks. It’s the best place to catch a show in America and the world’s greatest cathedral to music. Happy 85th to this timeless treasure.

In the past 14 years, thousands of Dreamers have been able to pursue their American Dream because of DACA. Attacks on DACA will never be tolerated and the fight continues to give Dreamers the pathway to citizenship they deserve.

Our bipartisan Patients Deserve Price Tags Act finally gives Americans what they deserve: lower healthcare prices that are transparent from the jump.

It’s unacceptable. Trump is diverting money meant to maintain our National Parks to fund his own vanity projects. YOUR taxpayer funds shouldn’t go towards stroking the ego of the man in the Oval Office. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

DACA is just common sense. Dreamers know no other home than here in the U.S. They should be protected, not attacked by an administration hellbent on separating families.

Enough with the whiplash. Americans don’t want anything to do with this illegal, costly war.

It’s been 10 years since 49 innocent lives were taken from us in the Pulse Nightclub shooting that targeted members of the LGBTQ+ community. We hold the victims and their loved ones in our hearts today as we continue to fight for an America free from the terrors of gun violence.

We helped stop Trump's DOJ slush fund for Tina Peters and January 6th rioters. Now the courts are keeping it frozen. Election criminals should never receive a taxpayer-funded payout. Period.

DOGE’s painful legacy is coming into view and it’s as ugly as one of these worms. The Trump admin needs to get this screwworm issue under control before it hurts more of our farmers.

Trump’s economy: 4.2% inflation and working families squeezed on gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing. The priorities are backwards. End this illegal war and let’s focus on making life affordable.

The bare minimum requirement for an attorney general is to respect the constitution and the rule of law above all. Todd Blanche doesn’t even meet those basic requirements. He shouldn’t be the next leader of the DOJ.

8 times we've voted to end Trump's illegal war in Iran. 38 times Trump lied that a deal was imminent. $100 billion later, costs skyrocketing, and we're all still waiting. The war needs to end NOW. www.cnn.com/2026/06/09/p...

Republicans have already taken $1 trillion out of our healthcare system. They won’t stop until they dismantle it even further and take social security down with it. Americans pay for these programs. They should NEVER be cut just to line the pockets of Trump and the ultra-wealthy.

Nearly 70,000 Coloradans rely on insulin to stay alive. No one should have to choose between paying rent and paying for life-saving medication. We took the first step in capping insulin costs at $35/month with our Inflation Reduction Act. Now, it’s time to do it for EVERYONE.

Ask any Colorado farmer what's keeping them up at night: costs and water. Trump's tariffs and war are driving up costs, while his delays on Colorado River drought funding are making an already serious water crisis even worse.

It’s why we should be making it EASIER, not harder, for folks to start a new business. That means getting rid of reckless tariffs and red tape and making it easier to obtain capital. (2/2)

Trump is completely unhinged. He promised to lower costs. Instead, his tariffs, health care cuts, and war with Iran have sent prices soaring. While Americans struggle to pay their bills, he's focused on settling scores and chasing crazy conspiracy theories. Enough is enough.
