Jeanette Vizguerra will finally reunite with her family, but her release is long overdue. As we fight for to fix our broken immigration system, I’m grateful for Jeanette’s continued leadership in speaking out against this administration’s cruel and inhumane policies.
The next generation deserves a President who understands the stakes of climate change and the benefits of embracing a clean energy economy - and puts their future first. (2/2)
At President Trump’s inauguration, he declared an “energy emergency” to try and justify his damaging actions to roll back clean energy and climate protections. It’s dangerous, and it weakens America’s energy leadership and progress towards a net-zero future. (1/2)
Western Colorado communities need help recovering after the historic flooding and wildfires this year, and federal assistance should be available to every state and county that needs it. Together with Gov. Polis and the Colorado delegation, I will take every available step to appeal this decision.
On its 6th birthday, the U.S. Space Force continues to be essential for ensuring U.S. national security by securing space superiority. We in Colorado are proud to host four Space Force installations and the brave men and women who support its vital mission.
Coloradans know firsthand how devastating worsening wildfires and other disasters are for their communities and insurance costs. We must help families prepare, not just recover. That’s why I’m pushing my tax credit to cover the costs of safeguarding homes & businesses before these disasters occur.
President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR. It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded. Read our full statement here:
The Trump Admin’s profiling, harassment, and arrest of Tribal citizens by ICE is unconscionable and a betrayal of the government’s responsibility to Tribal Nations that have existed here since time immemorial. I’m pushing back on the DHS and calling for accountability for these inhumane practices.
Thank you to the brave firefighters and first responders working to protect Yuma County communities from growing wildfires in the area. I am closely monitoring the situation as extreme winds threaten to spread the fires and put more homes and farmland at risk.
We cannot allow this administration to auction off our children’s and grandchildren’s inheritance. This effort to sell our national parks must be blocked. [2/2]
We cannot allow this administration to auction off our children’s and grandchildren’s inheritance. This effort to sell our national parks must be blocked. [2/2]
His tariffs have pushed up the price of cars, clothes, home goods, and groceries. He gave tax breaks to his wealthy friends, cut benefits for working families, added $3T to the national debt, and unemployment is at a 4 year high. This is not what Colordans want or deserve.
Donald Trump's vengeful plan to dismantle NCAR and cut millions in federal grants is the latest attack against Colorado. I will not stand by while Trump weaponizes the federal government to punish our state.  [1/2]
But, I could not in good conscience vote to enable President Trump’s national security agenda and lawless Pentagon. For that reason, I voted NO on the NDAA for the first time in my career.
