Trump and Carr are threatening to revoke licenses to broadcast networks because they don’t like their coverage of Trump’s unauthorized war. This is a direct attack on the free press in the United States. It cannot be allowed to stand. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Democrats offered clean legislation to keep critical agencies funded while negotiations continue, and Republicans turned it down. It's time to pay federal workers that keep us safe and protect our national security.
Republicans have once again blocked funding for cybersecurity personnel, TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard—demanding a blank check for ICE and DHS with no reforms or accountability.
I co-sponsored a key provision in this bill that will put an additional $4 billion toward building affordable housing — bringing us one step closer to making homeownership possible for working families across Colorado.
The Senate just passed the largest federal housing package in over a decade with overwhelming bipartisan support. This bill will build more homes, cut red tape, and modernize housing programs across the country.
We must use our voices and our power to counter rising antisemitism in both words and action. We must stand with the Jewish community, for freedom – of speech and religion – and against fear.
I am horrified by the attack at the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan today. Every American should be able to practice their faith without fear of violence or hate.
Wildfires and drought have shown Coloradans the devastating cost of ignoring science. We won’t stand for Trump's dangerous attacks on the health and safety of our communities.
Trump is rolling back pollution standards, denying climate science, and threatening to gut NCAR — the backbone of our nation’s weather and disaster research.
This isn't election integrity. It's a targeted effort to block American citizens from the ballot — especially women, rural voters, and seniors. I will not stop fighting against President Trump's blatant efforts to undermine our public elections.
President Trump is holding the Senate hostage to pass his SAVE America Act — legislation that will make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.
Last week, Republicans blocked funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard—critical agencies responsible for keeping Americans safe and responding to natural disasters. In doing so, they’ve prioritized shielding ICE and DHS from accountability over funding the agencies Americans rely on in crisis.
Susan and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, who passed away Sunday after being wounded during an attack in Saudi Arabia. We’re forever grateful for his service and sacrifice. My thoughts are with his loved ones and his fellow soldiers at Fort Carson.
As the Ukrainian people enter their fifth year of war against Putin's aggression, the U.S. and our allies must form a coalition to use Putin's money against him – by wielding billions in Russian sovereign assets on Ukraine's behalf. Read my op-ed ⬇️ www.euractiv.com/opinion/puti...
When faced with brutality and hate, these leaders did not stop fighting for a more just and equal future. Their legacy reminds us that we are not entitled to lose faith.
On the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, we honor civil leaders like John Lewis who sacrificed their skulls to billy clubs on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in the fight for a stronger democracy.
As negotiations continue, I urge both parties to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement that delivers long-term stability for Colorado workers, and recognizes the role JBS plays in Northern Colorado’s economy.
