Every day the Iran war drags on, Americans pay the price. Donald Trump has little incentive to end it when his billionaire friends keep getting richer while working people struggle to fill their tanks and pay for the basics.

Over and over, Congress has forced votes to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Americans DO NOT WANT this deadly conflict. It’s simple: to lower costs and protect lives, this war needs to end. NOW.

It’s simple. Patients deserve price tags. Let’s pass our bill and bring transparency to healthcare.

We fought tooth and nail to create a program to lower drug costs for seniors, and now Trump is killing it. It's cruel and just plain wrong. Our seniors should be able to afford medication, not priced out of life-saving healthcare. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/b...

Everything costs more under Trump’s economy: housing, gas, electricity, groceries, and healthcare have become totally unaffordable for working families.

MAGA Republicans cut $1 trillion from our healthcare system at a time when rural hospitals were already struggling. A $10 billion bandaid program that only lasts five years does not fix the problem. Let’s get serious.

Denying asylum seekers a fair hearing betrays both due process and America's tradition of welcoming the stranger. We must keep fighting for an immigration system that is humane, just, and worthy of our values. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The SAVE Act is a wolf in sheep's clothing–voter suppression dressed up as an election security bill. We’re still a HELL NO on the SAVE Act. Our elections are safe and secure.

The consequences of Trump’s deadly, illegal war are far reaching and he has no plan to get us out and lower costs. We must end the war and focus on lowering costs here at home. apnews.com/article/oil-...

In case anyone forgot: Our elections are safer, more secure, and more accessible because of mail-in voting. In 2013, Colorado set the gold standard. Now the fight to protect Americans' right to vote continues.

President Trump has no idea what he’s doing in Iran. For five months he has promised complete and total victory. He’s not winding down the war, he’s escalating it.

A historic 1,200-year drought is adding fuel to the wildfires in Colorado. It’s costing our state. →It’s costing lives →It’s costing homes →It’s costing communities We won’t stop fighting for resources our first responders and communities need to battle these fires.

Instead of actually working to fix our broken immigration system, the Trump administration is trying to reignite yesterday’s culture wars. These young people, many of whom have never had a home other than Colorado, want an education so they can build their lives.

Walking into the hospital shouldn’t be like walking into a casino–a complete gamble. Patients and employers should know how much they’re paying upfront with no trickery or games. Let’s pass our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act into law!

We’ve now voted a DOZEN TIMES to end Trump’s illegal war that’s costing American lives. The American people are sick and tired of it. We need to bring our troops home safely and start bringing down costs for Americans. END THE WAR NOW!

I'm grateful for the support of patient advocates as we work with Senator Marshall, Senator Cassidy, and Senator Sanders to get this bipartisan bill across the finish line. (2/2)

At a time when 41% of Americans carry a staggering $220 billion in medical debt, patients deserve price transparency. Our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act brings much-needed sunlight to our health care system—the first step toward lowering costs and making universal health care a reality. (1/2)

In June, we visited Glenwood Springs and heard the community's real concerns about the limestone quarry expansion, which poses a threat to local water resources and tourism. We stand with Glenwood Springs and are committed to stopping this expansion.

The link between climate change and drought is undeniable. New research shows the 2026 Western snow drought was about four times more likely because of climate change. We need to work together to address this existential crisis. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/22/c...

4.5 million Americans have lost SNAP benefits because of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Cutting food assistance for struggling families to fund tax breaks for billionaires is shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

May 5th. That’s the last time Secretary Hegseth and General Caine gave a public briefing on the Iran War. Now they want Congress to write a blank check for nearly $100 billion. Why are they keeping the Americans in the dark, but wanting taxpayers to hand over billions for their illegal war?
- JH
The proof is in the pudding. Trump is bad for the economy and bad for American jobs.

That starts by making healthcare costs transparent so patients and businesses know exactly what they’re paying for through our bipartisan Patients Deserve Price Tags Act.

Enough is enough. The American people overwhelmingly don't want this war of choice. President Trump needs to end it before more lives are lost and more damage is done.

More than a hundred billion in taxpayer dollars have been spent for no discernible benefit, while working families struggle to afford gas, groceries, and health care. With no deal in sight, President Trump is now escalating this illegal war even further, with no clear justification and no endgame.

This weekend was a painful reminder that President Trump's war isn't some distant conflict. It's costing lives and hurting Colorado families. Seventeen heroic U.S. service members have now been tragically killed, with many more injured.

All across Colorado, we’ve fought alongside communities for federal funding to help invest in projects that help Coloradans!

Americans just can’t catch a break under Trump. They feel it every time they go to the pump, with gas prices again at over $4/gallon on average nationwide because of his illegal war in Iran. End the war and bring down costs here at home NOW. apnews.com/article/gas-...

Disaster relief should never be political. These are communities that are hurting and have been through the worst times of their lives. It’s so far below our shared American values and is unacceptable.
