If you have seen your 2026 health care premiums skyrocket, please share your story. Republicans have refused to extend critical premium tax credits for working families, and now thousands of Coloradans are at risk of losing coverage. Your story will allow me to shine a light on this crisis.

But local governments have stepped up to support their communities. For more information about resources in your local government, visit: cdhs.colorado.gov/snap or call the SNAP hotline at 1-800-816-4451 [2/2]

More than 600,000 Coloradans are going without their SNAP benefits as Trump continues to play political games with people's lives and appeals the court mandate to fully fund the program saving children and families from going hungry. [1/2]

Good News: UC Colorado Springs will now have an Air Force ROTC unit to better serve students in southern Colorado traveling 100+ miles for classes. After urging the US Air Force to establish this unit, I’m glad students who have committed to serving our country will now have greater support.

Bennet, Hickenlooper, Neguse, DeGette, Crow, Pettersen Celebrate Air Force ROTC Detachment at UCCS - U.S. Senator Michael Bennet

Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and Colorado U.S. Representatives Joe Neguse, Diana DeGette, Jason Crow, and Brittany Pettersen released the following st...

It has been a privilege to work alongside Chairman Manuel Heart and witness his profound leadership and lifetime of service to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Working with him has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and I’m deeply grateful for his friendship and wisdom.

That’s why I voted tonight for a bipartisan resolution to block President Trump from pursuing an unauthorized war with Venezuela. Congress has the sole authority to declare war – not the President alone. (2/2)

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

The American people do not want another war. Yet President Trump continues to threaten land strikes in Venezuela and has deployed a naval armada to the region. This risks a conflict and puts our military servicemembers in harm’s way. (1/2)

Thank you, Speaker Pelosi, for taking a stand when it mattered most and for inspiring generations of lawmakers to use their voice and power for good. (2/2)

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

Nancy Pelosi's decades of dedicated public service and fearless advocacy for working families and for our kids have improved countless Americans' lives and made our country more just. (1/2)

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

It is absurd that President Trump requires the mandate of a federal judge to prevent millions of families in America from going hungry. This is an emergency of Trump's own making. He must end it and fully fund SNAP now.

A federal judge in Rhode Island has said the Trump administration must fully cover food stamp benefits for tens of millions of Americans in November. https://cnn.it/47KumOX

Congratulations to Superintendent Chris Gdowski from Adams 12 Five Star Schools on being named Colorado Superintendent of the Year! Your leadership and dedication to educators, students, their families, and the community are inspiring.

Colorado schools have a new superintendent of the year

It is unacceptable that Coloradans are now forced to make these decisions when their health is on the line. ACA premium tax credits are a lifeline for countless families, and we must restore them. (2/2)

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

This week, when Mark and his wife checked their health care premiums for next year, they had quadrupled. With a history of serious medical issues, Mark’s family cannot go without health insurance & must now figure out how they can afford to pay over $17,000 more for their coverage next year. (1/2)

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

I’ve heard from Coloradans across our state who don’t know how they’re going to feed their families this week as President Trump plays politics with their SNAP benefits. Trump must stop using hunger as a political weapon, follow the law, and fully fund SNAP immediately.

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

As Americans grapple w/ skyrocketing health insurance costs, federal workers continue to work without pay, & hungry families fear whether they will receive the food assistance they need, I urge Trump & Republicans to come to the table, protect the services our constituents rely on, & end this chaos.

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

Today marks the longest government shutdown in American history, a shameful milestone for our country. (1/2)

The government shutdown is now the longest - and likely the most damaging in US history | CNN Business

The ongoing government shutdown isn’t just the longest in American history. It’s likely the most damaging, too.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 4(source)

No Colorado family should be forced into this position because of Republicans’ unwillingness to address this crisis. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 4(source)

Dave, a father of five in Littleton, is facing a $1,500/month increase to his family’s health insurance plan. He shared that their budget cannot handle this dramatic increase in coverage costs without radical changes to their family’s daily life. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 4(source)

President Trump’s open defiance of court orders and refusal to release funding for Americans who rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families is nothing short of cruel. President Trump has the power and the legal tools to fully fund SNAP. Anything less is unacceptable.

Trump threatens to withhold SNAP funding until shutdown ends

The president’s Truth Social post Tuesday appears to contradict his own administration’s actions and violate a federal court order.
