After the Supreme Court ruled many of President Trump’s tariffs illegal, he doubled down and imposed additional tariffs that will continue to drive up costs and increase economic uncertainty across our state. His actions challenge the checks and balances of our democracy.
When Coloradans lose faith in the government, they turn to the leaders in their communities for guidance. Thank you, Andrea Loya, for your courageous work at Casa de Paz — fighting for the dignity and humanity of immigrants facing detention and the families devastated by separation.
Secretary Noem has already tried to block our access to the existing ICE facility in Aurora. We will not allow ICE to expand operations in our state unchecked while Kristi Noem's DHS has abandoned all standards for oversight and accountability.
For four years, the Ukrainian people have shown us what it looks like to fight and die for democracy, for their country, and for the West. Read my statement on Ukraine⬇️
The 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics showcased the very best of Colorado. Our 31 athletes represented Team USA with excellence, and these remarkable athletes took home 5 gold and 2 bronze medals. Congratulations to all of our Olympians — you have made Colorado proud.
President Trump’s use of Taiwan’s security as a bargaining chip in talks with Beijing to address a trade war he needlessly started is unacceptable and contrary to President Reagan’s “Six Assurances” 1982 principles – to which all U.S. administrations have since adhered.
Congress must reassert our authority to prevent any president from unilaterally pursuing trade policies that make our country weaker and Americans poorer.
President Trump’s trade war has needlessly undercut small businesses, increased costs for Coloradans, and alienated key allies and partners. Today, the Supreme Court ruled many of Trump’s tariffs illegal. But the damage has been done.
This weekend, the Five Points Jazz Roots Festival celebrates Colorado's jazz artists and honors the neighborhood as a cornerstone of Black history in Denver.
For decades, Five Points was a musical hub where Black excellence flourished and jazz legends like Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis performed.
Denver's Five Points neighborhood — once known as the Harlem of the West — defined Black life and culture across the American West throughout the 20th century.
In 2022, my bill designating Amache as a National Historic Site was made possible by the tireless work of survivors and descendants who fought to preserve and share this history.
