“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.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 8(source)

Congress must override Trump’s veto and stand up to this dangerous precedent. [2/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 8(source)

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]

Read my full statement on my vote to stop President Trump from further military action in Venezuela:

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 8(source)

“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.

Opinion | We fought hard for this Colorado water project. Congress needs to override Trump's veto.

Sens. Hickenlooper and Bennet: While the administration focuses on international brinkmanship and personal grievances, American families' basic needs are treated like an afterthought.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 8(source)

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]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 8(source)

Despite President Trump's promises not to start any new wars, he has authorized military action against seven countries over the last year. [1/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 8(source)

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.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 8(source)

Earlier today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents killed a U.S. citizen, born and raised in Colorado, in a horrific & unnecessary shooting.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 7(source)

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.

CDC staff ‘blindsided’ as child vaccine schedule unilaterally overhauled

The Trump administration took unprecedented steps to recommend fewer vaccines for children without extensive consultations with career scientists.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 6(source)

Donald Trump has declared war on Colorado. He is now robbing thousands of vulnerable Colorado families of the critical support they need to afford food, housing, and health care. I will pursue all available options to ensure that Trump's latest political attack against our state is stopped.

Health Dept. to Freeze $10 Billion in Funding to 5 Democratic States

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 6(source)

Today, we're reminded that we cannot take our democracy for granted and must never stop defending it.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 6(source)

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.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 5(source)

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.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 5(source)

President Trump’s rampage against Colorado will not go unanswered.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJan 5(source)

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.
