The Trump Administration’s mass firing of immigration judges has backlogged cases and left the already overwhelmed system further behind.
I’m pushing to get qualified immigration judges back on the bench to ensure everyone has access to full due process rights.

That’s why I’ve reintroduced my Medicare-X plan to provide a public option to help make health care affordable and accessible for every American.
[2/2]
Our health care system fails to provide working people with the care they need, and millions in Colorado and across the country need an affordable option – now more than ever.
[1/2]
This decision by Secretary Kennedy’s hand-selected panel of vaccine conspiracy theorists disregards decades of trusted science and proven reductions in Hep-B infections for kids.
Kennedy’s continued politicization of vaccines will undoubtedly put the health of countless children at risk.
CO's National Guard bravely serves on the frontlines, from protecting our state from natural disasters to helping European allies deter Russia.
I was glad to meet Maj General Robert Davis, the new Adjutant General of the CO National Guard, and look forward to working together to support our troops.

[2/2]
The Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General has now confirmed what I said months ago: Secretary Hegseth created unacceptable risks to U.S. troops and our military objectives by sharing sensitive operational battleplans in a Signal group chat.”

My statement on blocking 88 Trump nominees on the Senate floor:
Last month, the CWCB embraced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sustain our way of life here in CO by approving the Shoshone water rights acquisition.
Now, we must continue fighting together to make sure the Trump Admin delivers the funding already promised to this and other projects in CO.
The Trump Administration's continued weaponization of hunger as a political tool is nothing short of cruel.
The administration is once again trying to take food away from Colorado families and punish our state for protecting people’s privacy - we won’t allow that to happen.
Minority-Serving Institutions in Colorado give students from rural and low-income backgrounds the opportunity to build a future with economic security.
That’s why I’m demanding answers on the Trump Admin’s decision to cut off grants to these schools and the effects on their students.
“As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I am alarmed by reports that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to ‘kill everybody’ on an alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean.”
Read my full statement on the reports concerning U.S. strikes in the Caribbean:
No one in detention should be cut off from their lawyer or their family.
That’s why I introduced the Restoring Access to Detainees Act, because access to legal counsel and communication with family are basic rights & essential to due process.
This bill brings needed accountability to ICE and CBP.
For decades, Colorado has been home to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory - a global leader in renewable energy innovation.
Under its new name, the Lab must continue its groundbreaking work to achieve an affordable, net-zero economy and meet our nation’s complex energy challenges.
President Trump has once again done a disservice to our country on the world stage by disregarding our progress and disrespecting the millions who’ve lost their lives to HIV & AIDS in Colorado and around the world.
The U.S. must not shy away from creating a world free from these illnesses.
Colorado continues to see robust investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
I’m glad to have helped secure this $60 million in funding so that our state can build on its efforts to create healthier communities with cleaner and safer public transportation.
That’s why I’m pushing the Trump Administration not to backtrack on the progress we’ve made to protect our public lands, local communities, and public safety.
[2/2]
For years, I have fought to hold oil and gas companies accountable and ensure they, not taxpayers, cover the costs of cleaning up wells drilled on federal lands.
[1/2]
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.
