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.
FEMA’s denial of Colorado’s request for federal disaster assistance is unacceptable.
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.
Jefferson County: If you have questions or need assistance related to ongoing power outages, please call the county hotline.

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.

After Senator Lee tried to sell off our public lands earlier this year, I fought it and helped stop his disastrous attempt.
Now he's targeting our national parks.

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 wants you to believe life is more affordable under his administration — but it’s not true.
This retribution puts lives and livelihoods at risk, and I will use every tool to fight back.
[2/2]
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.
The annual defense bill, the NDAA, contains important measures I fought for to support our servicemembers, Colorado, and our national security.
The President must not send our men and women in uniform into harm’s way for oil. The American people do not want yet another unauthorized, costly war based on an ill-conceived rationale.
Today, I passed this bill to ensure the federal government fulfills its 60+ year promise to finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit and deliver clean water to over 50,000 people in 39 communities across SE Colorado.
