161 years ago, U.S. soldiers killed a generation of Cheyenne and Arapahoe people in the horrific Sand Creek Massacre. As we recognize those who were lost in this violent tragedy, we must never forget this dark moment in Colorado’s history, nor the wound these communities carry to this day.
This Native American Heritage Day, as we honor the history and contributions of Indigenous cultures, we must reaffirm our commitment to uplifting the voices of Indigenous peoples in Colorado and nationwide.
Happy Thanksgiving, Colorado, from my family to yours! I’m grateful every day to represent the most beautiful state in the country and see the unwavering strength of Coloradans. I hope everyone has a safe and festive holiday with their loved ones. 🦃
I am saddened to hear about the shooting that took place near the White House. My thoughts are with the National Guard members who were wounded and their families. Thank you to the law enforcement officers for their swift response. I will continue to closely monitor the situation as it develops.
President Trump's incoherent tariff policies have raised prices and increased uncertainty, putting a strain on small business owners across Colorado. As many head into their busiest time of year, Trump’s tariffs will continue dragging them and our economy down if he doesn’t reverse course.
I'm glad to have helped secure over $60 million in funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help communities across Colorado invest in zero- or low-emission buses and bus infrastructure. This funding will build on our work to help make Colorado's public transit system cleaner.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, a landmark civil rights law that guarantees all students have equal access to education. (1/2)
Colorado continues to cement itself as a national hub for innovation, now with the world’s largest hyperloop testing track in Pueblo. I was excited to celebrate this unveiling with Pueblo leaders and see firsthand the work Swisspod is doing to advance Colorado’s transportation technology.
Rural Coloradans face enormous challenges to access quality health care. I’m glad the Senate passed my bipartisan resolution establishing National Rural Health Day to shine a light on the barriers they face and our commitment to improve access to the care Coloradans need.
Putin’s aggression won't stop in Ukraine, as he tests NATO's defenses by sending drones and fighter jets across the alliance’s eastern flank borders. That’s why I’m pushing for the U.S. to work hand-in-hand with our allies to strengthen their air defenses and defend every inch of NATO territory.
These are symbols of racism, anti-semitism, and violence. There's no spin that can deny that fact. The American people and those who proudly represent us in the Coast Guard’s uniform deserve far better. This decision should be reversed immediately.
Donald Trump’s urging of violence and the execution of political opponents, including my friend Representative Jason Crow, has no place in our democracy or in our political debate. This is dangerous language that every American should renounce.
