President Trump has not wasted a moment using his position of power for personal gain. Today’s official acceptance of a luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One poses a needless threat to U.S. national security and is a disturbing abuse of the office of the President.
The United States lost its AAA credit rating due to the disastrous policies of this Administration. Whoever our next IRS Commissioner is needs to take responsibility and quit blaming Congress.
Hearing from Coloradans on the issues that matter to them is my favorite part of the job. Join me this week for an in-person town hall in Pueblo on Saturday May 24, at 3:00 PM MT. Sign up below to attend⬇️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Ending protections for Venezuelans fleeing Maduro’s regime is cruel, short-sighted, and destabilizing. I’ve fought to extend TPS so families in Colorado can stay safe and rebuild their lives. Stripping it away abandons American values and weakens our communities.
Today, I introduced the STABLE GENIUS Act to ban federal officeholders and candidates from profiting off digital assets like crypto. We have seen rampant corruption in the highest levels of government that can no longer go unchecked. Learn more about my legislation here ⬇️
Susan and I are sad to learn of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. We are thinking of President Biden and his family today as he begins his path to recovery.
It’s Colorado Public Lands Day–a reminder that Colorado’s public lands are the backbone of our outdoor recreation economy and way of life. Now more than ever, we must keep fighting to protect these lands and the land management employees who preserve them for future generations.
NEXT WEEK: I am hosting an in-person town hall in Pueblo on Saturday, May 24, at 3:00 PM MT. I look forward to speaking with Coloradans about the issues that matter to them. You must sign up below to attend⬇️
Colorado, it's Women's Health Week. As Americans’ health care and women’s reproductive freedom continue to come under attack, it’s more important than ever to ensure women have access to the care and resources they need to have control over their bodies and futures.
It was great to speak with Western Growers about our shared work to deliver for producers on the frontlines of major issues across Colorado and the West. Western agriculture faces unique challenges, and I’m committed to showing up for our farmers, families, and rural communities.
Under the current Republican tax plan, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance or see their costs increase – all for tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. This bill doesn't benefit anyone but President Trump and his ultra-wealthy friends.
As President Trump's trade war alienates key partners in Latin America and the Caribbean, China is stepping in to advance its influence. We need legislation like my bipartisan Americas Act to renew U.S. partnerships and create joint economic prosperity across the Western Hemisphere.
His plan to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One is an act of blatant corruption and a violation of our Constitution that poses severe counterintelligence risks, needlessly undermining U.S. national security.
While President Trump claims to target fraud and abuse, his actions continue to prove that his priorities are his own interests and those of his wealthy friends – not the American people, the American interest, or the rule of law.
After more than 19 months in captivity, I’m relieved Edan Alexander, the last American hostage held captive by Hamas terrorists, has been reunited with his family. The Trump administration must continue pushing to bring home every innocent hostage and end this war.
