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.
I'm joining my Senate Democratic colleagues to demand answers from President Trump on his reckless decision to ease sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil exports.
Happy Easter, Colorado! Wishing all who celebrate a joyful holiday of renewal spent with loved ones. And to the kids across our state, happy egg hunting!
It was great sitting down with our spring interns in Colorado this week to hear their perspectives on the issues facing our state today. I’m grateful for their commitment to public service and continued dedication to showing up for Coloradans.
Now Republicans are moving to overturn this plan. This is a shameful addition to our nation’s history of broken promises to American Indian Tribes. It is also another sad attempt at taking land management decisions away from the American people.
After years of hard work with the Tribes and local communities, BLM finalized a plan for the Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument that protected Tribal cultural resources on their ancestral homelands.
As Putin launches daily attacks on civilians across Ukraine, Congress must ensure Russia does not profit from the oil and gas price spikes driven by President Trump's unauthorized war with Iran.
This is exactly why I’ve fought back against these reckless tariffs at every turn — and now that the Supreme Court has ruled many of them illegal, it’s time for this Administration to pay Coloradans back.
President Trump promised that Liberation Day tariffs would bring back jobs and lower prices for American families. One year later, prices are up, families are struggling, and small businesses are facing increasing uncertainty. www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...
It's clear Trump will continue to use the DOJ, an independent agency, for his political benefit and whoever he appoints as Attorney General will follow his illegal direction. I will keep pushing DOJ to follow the law and hold those accountable for illegal acts against our state and our people.
AG Pam Bondi has been using her office to repeatedly attack Colorado to advance the President's political agenda and exact retribution. I opposed her nomination from the beginning; and since, I have worked to fight DOJ's attacks on Colorado and other states.
On Trans Day of Visibility, we stand united against the discrimination faced by the trans community in Colorado and across the nation.  We celebrate the contributions and resilience of trans Coloradans and recommit to the fight for a future where every person can live freely and without fear.
By the end, he will have undermined every citizen’s right to vote — Democrat, Republican, or Unaffiliated. This attack on our elections is one in which every American should fight. We Coloradans, who have the gold-standard election system, will fight this tooth and nail.
This day honors the United Farm Workers labor movement and has always been larger than one man. We must continue to stand with the workers, families, and communities that the UFW movement was built to protect.
