Last year, Colorado faced historic flooding and fires. President Trump's response: withhold emergency relief as political retaliation against Colorado communities.
Glad to join community leaders in Aurora to celebrate construction of the East Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit line.  By investing in affordable and reliable transit, we're making it easier for Coloradans to live, work, and raise their families here. www.denvergazette.com/2026/05/01/a...
Last year, Senate Republicans tried to sell off 3 million acres of public lands in a massive land grab that would’ve devastated Colorado and the West. I introduced the Public Lands Integrity Act to stop future sell-offs through fast-tracked, backroom budget deals. We must protect our public lands.
2026 has been the worst year on record for Colorado's snowpack. @neguse.house.gov and I are pressing the Trump Administration to step up wildfire preparedness efforts and equip Coloradans to respond to unprecedented risks this fire season.
Five months into the year, and our country has already experienced a record-breaking 22,000 fires. @bennet.senate.gov and I are imploring Federal agencies to take comprehensive action to better prepare the Rocky Mountain West for a potentially devastating wildfire season 👇🏽
I'm leading my colleagues to demand the Trump Administration immediately restore sanctions on Russian oil. Pausing these sanctions didn't lower gas prices—which are up over 50% in Colorado because of President Trump's reckless war in Iran. It only bankrolled Putin's war in Ukraine.
President Trump’s cruel immigration policies are tearing families apart. We’ve seen ICE detain young children and use them to pressure parents into cooperating.
In Aurora yesterday: the community broke ground on the next phase of the East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit line, made possible by a $150 million investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill.
On May Day, we recognize the enduring role that labor unions and workers have played in building a strong middle class in America. Through solidarity and collective action, they fought for and won fair wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.
Today is 60 days since President Trump launched his reckless war in Iran. Under the War Powers Resolution, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days without congressional authorization — which we have not granted.
Without this program, rural hospitals in Delta, Montrose, Glenwood Springs, and San Luis Valley could lose a vital source of funding and may be forced to cut critical services or close their doors entirely — requiring rural Coloradans to drive hours to access the care they rely on.
Today, we introduced the Public Lands Integrity Act to stop federal public lands from being sold off to fund Republican’s spending sprees. This bill ensures that public land sales cannot be fast-tracked through budget legislation, keeping our public lands in public hands.
Glad to see the federal appeals court blocked the Trump Administration's mass-detention agenda — sending a clear message that due process must be upheld. No one, regardless of immigration status, should be imprisoned without basic constitutional protections. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/app...
