Today, we celebrate Ross Anderson: the fastest skier in American history. Ross was the first Native American to compete in the speed skiing world championships, inspiring a generation of Indigenous athletes to take up the sport.
One year ago, I demanded CIA Director Ratcliffe answer for the Trump cabinet’s reckless discussion of classified information on Signal.  Nothing has changed: this Administration’s incompetence continues to put Americans at risk.
Today, we Purple Up by wearing purple to honor the resilience of military kids in Colorado and across the country. We're proud to stand with our military families – and the tens of thousands of Colorado kids navigating unique challenges while their parents serve and protect our nation.
The Trump Administration’s decision to gut the IRS workforce will cost $643 billion in uncollected taxes, adding to our sky-high $38 trillion debt. Without a fully staffed IRS, there is no one to ensure the wealthiest Americans are paying their fair share.
This deal strengthens the 100+ year relationship between the Pueblo steel mill and Union Pacific, and I encourage all other parties to wrap up negotiations so that Pueblo can continue to invest in state-of-the-art production and provide good-paying jobs for Colorado workers.
Glad to see Rocky Mountain Steel and Union Pacific reach an agreement that will bring long-term stability for Pueblo steelworkers, the local economy, and domestic rail production.
No Colorado family recovering from floods and wildfires should be denied help because of President Trump’s political games. I’m working on legislation that will give Congress the power to overturn Trump’s callous decision to withhold disaster relief from Americans in crisis.
On Yom HaShoah, we honor the six million Jews and millions of others the Nazis murdered. Never Again is a call to action requiring us to stand against hate.
My mother was born a Jew in Warsaw in 1938, just one year before the Nazis took the city. She escaped with her parents, but the Nazis killed nearly all of her family during the Holocaust.
Amazing! The Artemis II crew just made history — returning to Earth after traveling farther than any human ever has. I congratulate the NASA crew and team and celebrate the thousands of Coloradans who helped achieve this remarkable milestone!
Coloradans are paying over 30% more for gas since Trump launched his war in Iran – yet he's easing sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil exports. Russia is raking in $150M PER DAY, funding its unjustified war in Ukraine and reportedly helping Iran target U.S. troops.
Now, Americans are paying the price. Oil prices are soaring – up 35 percent in Colorado. Iran is more radical than ever and has killed our troops. Russia is cashing in from high oil prices. China is gaining ground while our focus shifts away from Asia.
Let’s be clear: Trump’s war with Iran is a failure that must end immediately. He launched his war without either a clear strategy, or honest justifications.
Today, President Trump issued an ultimatum that “Iran’s whole civilization will die tonight” unless the regime complies with his demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He is threatening war crimes to fix a crisis he created. This is a reckless, dangerous escalation.
Easing these sanctions is unjustifiable as reports indicate that Russia is sharing intelligence that Iran uses to target U.S. troops – all while Russia continues waging its unjustified and unprovoked war against Ukraine.
