Homelessness in Colorado is a crisis we can't ignore. We must build on our progress to stabilize our communities and keep people off the streets. That’s why I joined my colleagues to demand the Trump Administration deliver available funds and ensure Colorado can continue combating homelessness.
Instead of taking a wrecking ball to the Department of Education, President Trump should focus on building our public education system to prepare the next generation for the future. This decision will do nothing to give students the high-quality education they deserve.
Exclusive: The Education Department plans to move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity.
Countless families across Colorado are now facing the same reality due to Republicans’ inaction in the face of expiring premium tax credits that made their insurance affordable. I won’t give up on extending these credits or fighting for the Coloradans who need them. [2/2]
Frankie, a father in CO Springs, who relies on an ACA insurance plan to cover his family, is facing a $2197 increase to his monthly premiums. After his wife lost her job earlier this year, Frankie & his family are now grappling with the possibility of losing their coverage entirely next year. [1/2]
Working families and small businesses have suffered the most from Trump’s tariffs. He must undo these and his other chaotic trade policies to stop the unsustainable increases in their costs. [2/2]
This Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Indigenous peoples in Colorado and across the country. Now is the time to recommit ourselves to including Indigenous voices in policy decisions and fighting for the needs of Tribal communities.
It was a pleasure to meet with our Denver fall interns to thank them for their hard work and hear their plans for the future. Our office wouldn’t be the same without them, and I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication throughout the government shutdown.
This deal will protect critical wildlife habitat, grazing, cultural sites, and hunting and fishing for the San Luis Valley for generations to come. [2/2]
Colorado families are already struggling to get by as the costs of childcare, rent, and groceries continue to skyrocket. The least we could do is make things a little bit easier and extend the ACA tax credits that make their health insurance more affordable. [1/2]
That is why I joined my colleagues earlier this week to demand Starbucks stop its illegal union-busting campaign and negotiate a fair contract with its workers. [2/2]
I’m proud to stand with @sbworkersunited.org and Starbucks employees across the country as they fight for fair pay, respect, and a voice on the job. No one serving our communities should struggle to make ends meet. [1/2]
Nearly 300,000 Coloradans face the real possibility of their monthly health care premiums doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling next year without the ACA tax credits Republicans have refused to extend. [1/2]
Health care is a right. And until we have universal coverage in this country, we shouldn’t make it harder for working families to afford coverage & stay healthy by allowing critical ACA tax credits to expire. These credits are a lifeline for countless Coloradans. We must fight to preserve them.
America’s veterans bravely answered the call to serve our country and sacrificed to defend our freedom. On Veterans Day, we honor their service and remember our duty to ensure veterans in Colorado and across the country have the healthcare, housing, and support they’ve earned and deserve.
When we passed the Affordable Care Act, we made historic progress in making health care attainable for working people. After years of Republicans trying to take that health care away, we cannot give up our fight now, as millions are at risk of losing their premium tax credits and their coverage.
