As President Trump strips health care away from millions of Americans and burdens working families with higher costs, he plans to build a $200 million ballroom for himself and his billionaire donors. This is an unbelievable display of excess and abuse of the presidency.
Wildfires in Colorado have cost taxpayers over $40 million this year alone. This is yet another reminder that Coloradans save $6 for every $1 spent on wildfire prevention. It is critical that we prioritize investments in wildfire prevention — to save taxpayer dollars and to save lives.
Meanwhile, the EPA is delaying its rules, giving a free pass to the biggest methane polluters in the country. The Trump Administration continues to put our climate and health at risk.
Colorado and the West are in deep peril from wildfires. The new Fort Collins USDA hub will need the right resources and expertise to keep pace. The Trump Administration must engage local communities and wildfire experts as it reorganizes the USDA and considers changes to fire response.
60 years ago, President Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law so that every American could live with the dignity and security of health care. As Republicans rip health care away from millions, I will continue to fight for the future of these programs and the Coloradans who depend on them.
It was great to speak with Dr. Hazelbaker, President at Pueblo Community College, about how we support students from all backgrounds in Colorado. It is critical that we ensure students are ready for 21st-century jobs and have the resources they need to build successful careers.
Rural communities are losing access to lifesaving emergency air services as rising costs force many across the country to shut down. That's why I introduced the Protecting Air Ambulance Services for Americans Act, because all Americans deserve access to emergency care no matter where they live.
Coloradans have long known this to be true as we face increasingly devastating natural disasters like wildfires and drought. Undermining the EPA's ability to limit climate pollution will put our communities at even greater risk. (2/2)
Republicans' budget bill puts millions of children, including nearly half a million in Colorado, at risk of losing their health care. That's why I introduced the Keep Kids Covered Act to ensure no child loses access to health care in the most important years of their development.
Too many rural Coloradans must drive hours to see a doctor due to workforce shortages in their communities. I'm glad the University of Northern Colorado is tackling the problem head-on and leading the way in addressing this critical issue for our state.
In Colorado and across the American West, the "Buffalo Soldiers" served in the first all-black regiments in the U.S. Army and were among the earliest park rangers in the country. Today, we recognize their bravery, commitment to service, and enduring mark on American history.
This week, there will be free and discounted events across Colorado. I hope everyone finds a celebration nearby and gets a chance to enjoy the festivities. (2/2)
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is abhorrent and worsening daily. People are starving and dying, especially children. President Trump must demand that Israel enable a large-scale expansion of assistance throughout Gaza immediately.
