Coloradans are now paying over 60% more for gas than before President Trump launched his reckless war with Iran. Trump has since repeatedly paused sanctions on Russian oil — which has not lowered prices for American families, but has bankrolled Putin's war in Ukraine.
Our bill to support rural hospitals in Delta, Montrose, Glenwood Springs, and San Luis Valley unanimously passed the Senate. I urge my colleagues in the House to act quickly to ensure our rural communities maintain this critical lifeline.
Today, I am leading legislation to reauthorize the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program: a lifeline for Colorado’s rural hospitals, providers, and the 800K Coloradans who depend on them for health care. www.bennet.senate.gov/2026/05/01/b...
I'm fighting to protect our families and prevent children from being detained, stop ICE officers from hiding behind face masks, and demand transparency and oversight in detention centers.
Last night, I spoke to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about President Trump’s new slushfund of $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars to pay off his cronies. We can't stand by while he undermines our rule of law and our Constitution.
We honor their legacies through our continued fight to create real opportunity for every student in America. Their work remains unfinished and the fight continues.
That’s why I’ve protected 700,000 acres and fought to keep them public — and I won’t stop. We will continue to stand up to President Trump’s attacks on Colorado’s public lands and the workers who protect them. Happy Public Lands Day!
Now, millions of acres of public land are even more exposed to development and the impacts of climate change. These lands belong to all of us. We must keep fighting to protect them.
Thank you Kate from Eagle County for joining us in the fight to protect our public lands. We won't back down in defending these public treasures that belong to all Coloradans. (Vail Daily)
The Senate passed our resolution to recognize the 10th anniversary of the Columbine Day of Service, honoring the lives lost at Columbine and standing with the members of our community whose lives have been forever changed by gun violence.
I voted NO on Kevin Warsh’s nomination for Chair of the Federal Reserve. I have no confidence that he will provide the independence this role requires. Read my full statement ⬇️
His agencies are burying reports showing vaccines are safe and effective — including data that COVID vaccines significantly reduced hospitalizations. Americans deserve honesty, transparency, and leadership that puts science first.
