Happy Fourth of July, Colorado!
Today is an opportunity to reflect on the countless sacrifices that make our freedom and way of life possible.
Independence Day reminds us that we all have a role in future of our democracy and our founders’ promise of a nation free from tyranny.

Senate Republicans voted to strip health care from millions, but House Republicans can still vote no. Coloradans are depending on it.
Republicans claim that they are eliminating fraud and abuse by gutting Medicaid.
In reality, the Republican Budget Bill would leave nearly 20% of Coloradans on Medicaid without access to basic health care, while adding trillions to the national debt.
The last thing we should do is weaken Ukraine when there is so much at stake for U.S. national security, Ukraine, and democracy everywhere.
Republicans and Democrats agree: pausing arms shipments to Ukraine is a bad idea.
We must support Ukraine while investing in our defense capabilities – efforts that will deter Putin, Xi, and other dictators from testing our resolve with further aggression.
ICYMI: I spoke on the Senate floor in the dead of the night to slam President Trump's "Pay for Themselves" tax cuts. This 940-page so-called Big Beautiful Bill is full of bad policy that will hurt Coloradans.
I will vote NO.
Susan and I are devastated to hear of Karen's passing. She was a beloved member of the Boulder community and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with Karen's family as they mourn this incredible loss.
May her memory be a blessing.
Nearly 20% of Coloradans who rely on Medicaid could lose health care coverage due to the Republican Budget Bill.
I urge my Republican colleagues to put American lives over their desire to please President Trump.
Republicans are rushing to pass their Budget Bill to appease President Trump's arbitrary deadline.
What they aren't telling you: this bill will harm our children the most by adding trillions to the national debt, kicking people off of health insurance, and taking SNAP away from our most vulnerable.
It's nearly midnight and I'm on the Senate floor to expose the Republicans dangerous lies about their budget bill.
It will increase our national debt by trillions all while gutting health care, raising energy costs, and threatening food security. It's bad policy and I'm voting no.
Colorado is leading the nation on clean energy, and I will support amendments to remove this reckless provision from the final bill.
In the dead of night, Republicans added a new dangerous provision to their Budget Bill - a tax on wind and solar energy. The bill now not only slashes investments in wind & solar, but places an expensive penalty on those projects. This will crush these industries & make our energy more expensive.
Great news for Pueblo, Colorado! Atlas Holdings just announced that they will acquire EVRAZ North America. EVRAZ is the leading steel producer in the U.S. and Canada.
This move will increase jobs and investment here in Colorado and ensure we're on the forefront of the steel industry.
I voted for today’s War Powers Resolution to prevent the United States from creeping into another war in the Middle East without explicit Congressional authorization.
The decision to go to war with Iran is too important for any President to make alone.
I’m grateful Colorado will keep defending the 14th Amendment in our courts—and I’ll do everything in my power to continue the fight.
The 14th Amendment to our Constitution establishes that when you are born in the United States, you are a citizen of our country. Because our state filed a pending case against President Trump on this issue, Coloradans are protected from today’s SCOTUS ruling.
It was great to get to sit down with my office's summer interns in D.C. and thank them for the work they're doing.
Students and recent grads: my Colorado and D.C. offices are now accepting applications for our Fall Internship Program. Learn more: www.bennet.senate.gov/services/stu...
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage across the United States.
While we celebrate how much progress has been made, we must also recommit to fighting for LGBTQ+ equality, especially as the Trump Administration attacks civil rights protections.
The Medicaid cuts from the Republican Budget Bill are bad enough, with an estimated 155,000 Coloradans losing their coverage as a result. If Republicans fail to extend health tax credits on top of changes to ACA, another 100,000 Coloradans will lose their insurance.
President Trump has no right to withhold from Congress classified information regarding the Iran strikes. He should never have delayed briefing Congress in the 1st place. The nation's intelligence agency leadership must attend tomorrow's Senate briefing, in addition to Secretaries Hegseth & Rubio.
