Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard 7 times. Republicans have blocked these attempts at every turn. President Trump is holding critical safety agencies hostage to push through a voter suppression bill and shield a lawless ICE operation from accountability.
On the fifth anniversary of the horrific King Soopers shooting in Boulder, we remember the 10 Coloradans who lost their lives to this senseless act of gun violence. We keep their families in our thoughts and recommit to fighting for the gun safety reforms they deserve.
This weekend, thousands of Native Americans will gather in Denver to celebrate their cultural heritage at the 50th anniversary of the Denver March Powwow. What once started as a youth enrichment program in the 1970s is now one of the most celebrated Powwows in the country.
From Rocky Mountain National Park to the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, the Trump Administration is targeting exhibits that discuss climate change and the history of violence and displacement inflicted on Native American communities across all of our Colorado national parks.
Eid Mubarak, Colorado! May your Eid al-Fitr celebrations be filled with blessings after a month of community gathering, reflection, and fasting. Wishing Colorado’s Muslim community a joyful and peaceful holiday.
Colorado sets the gold standard for election security in the nation. We don't need federal overreach that will only succeed in making it harder for Coloradans and those across the country to register and cast their ballot.
The American people don’t want the chaos and violence the Trump administration has brought to cities across America. They don’t want masked ICE agents ripping neighbors from their homes and tearing families apart. They want accountability and oversight at every level of our immigration system.
Nineteen days into this war of choice, President Trump – who campaigned on ending wars – has made America into the world’s policeman, jury, judge, and executioner.
A federal court has now blocked this unlawful action. Using the basic needs of families as a political weapon is cruel. I will continue to fight against President Trump's Colorado revenge tour.
NCAR is a cornerstone of disaster preparedness and weather research that protects our wildland firefighters, first responders, and rural communities. I will continue fighting to protect NCAR and the scientists and universities that contribute to its unparalleled research.
Congratulations to Colorado’s own Malik Jones and the entire USA Paralympic Sled Hockey Team on winning gold at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games – the team’s fifth straight Paralympic victory and a new record for consecutive golds in Olympic or Paralympic hockey.
I urge both parties to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible and reach a deal that provides long-term stability for the entire community.
I firmly support UFCW Local 7’s right to organize, collectively bargain, and fight for fair compensation, safe working conditions, and the respect they deserve. The workers at JBS are critical to the meatpacking supply chain and to Northern Colorado’s economy.
This disaster comes after Pete Hegseth ignored military officials and gutted Pentagon offices meant to minimize civilian casualties in war. The DoD must conduct a full investigation, and hold accountable those responsible for this strike.
