The DOE should focus on lowering costs and working with communities on their energy transition, not accelerating Trump’s vengeful attacks on our state.
“Make no mistake, this was part of the President’s vindictive war on Colorado because he is frustrated with our state for not bending the knee. Today marks another grim day for the future of our democracy.” Read my statement on the House’s decision to uphold Trump’s veto of the Finish the AVC Act.
Southeastern Coloradans have fought for generations for access to clean water. But, President Trump used the first veto of his second term to stop my bipartisan bill to help provide the clean water they were promised, as further retribution against Colorado. [1/2]
“When a president puts political vendettas ahead of clean water for schools, hospitals, and ranchers, he isn’t ‘shaking up’ Washington. He is undermining the people he swore to serve. And it’s working people and rural communities that pay the price.” Read more from @senatorhick.govpeeps.us and me.
Now, he has stationed 15,000 U.S. troops and an American armada off the Venezuelan coast with no clear plan. Congress must reassert our role and stop Trump's recklessness. [2/2]
President Trump’s reckless weaponization of ICE is making our cities less safe and endangering people simply trying to lead their lives.  We need an investigation, and we need justice.
Secretary Kennedy upending the pediatric vaccine schedule will put countless young lives at risk of completely preventable diseases. Kennedy’s obsession with health conspiracies and politicization of vaccine science is dangerous, and his incompetence has no place in our government.
Five years ago, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol to try to stop the certification of a free and fair election. The legacy of that attack lives on as President Trump lawlessly undermines our Constitution at every turn.
His political attacks targeting our disaster-struck communities, clean water access in SE Colorado, and our state’s world-class atmospheric research institution are malicious and dangerous, and I won’t stop fighting back to ensure what’s best for Coloradans.
Thank you to the brave firefighters, first responders, and local community members who battled Friday's massive apartment construction fire in Denver. Your dedication to public safety reflects the very best of Colorado.
