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 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.
I reject that vision and will keep fighting to ensure that, if you work hard, you can get ahead in this country and give your kids a better life. [2/2]
When Republicans forced through Trump’s billionaire tax cuts earlier this year, I made it clear that Trump’s idea of prosperity is reserved only for those at the top. [1/2]
I reject that vision and will keep fighting to ensure that, if you work hard, you can get ahead in this country and give your kids a better life. [2/2]
“Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management is an insult to Colorado and anyone who cares about the lands that sustain our economy and Western way of life." Read my full statement on his nomination here:
Colorado’s small businesses should be able to plan, invest, and support their workers without fearing that President Trump’s incoherent tariff policies will force them to close. Our small businesses can’t make decisions based on Trump’s political whims. He must reverse these tariffs immediately.

President Trump's reckless and short-sighted decision to let NVIDIA sell advanced AI chips to China threatens U.S. national security and technological leadership. We cannot give China the tools to outcompete us or our allies.
Thirteen years ago, 20 children and six educators were killed in a horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. Our students deserve to grow up and go to school without fear. I will keep fighting for policies that keep our communities safe from acts of senseless gun violence.
This was a deliberate act of hate as Jews across the world gather to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah, which commemorates light triumphing over darkness. Antisemitism — or hate of any kind — has no place in this world.
I am horrified to hear about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
The deadly attack on U.S. forces engaged in counterterrorism efforts in Syria is reprehensible. My thoughts are with the brave troops and interpreter we lost, those wounded, and their loved ones. As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I am closely monitoring the situation.
Breaking News: Two American soldiers and an American interpreter were killed in an attack in central Syria on Saturday, U.S. military officials said.
