Legal immigrants granted Temporary Protected Status because they’d face imminent danger back home have followed the rules, passed background checks, paid fees, and built their lives here. They are our neighbors, co-workers, parents, and caregivers.
This week, I introduced the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act, which would advance the goal of ensuring people with disabilities can receive the support they need in their communities.
Twenty-seven years after Olmstead, the Trump Administration is trying to make it easier for states and insurers to force Americans with disabilities into institutions just to receive the services and support they need.
Because farmers and ranchers in the Grand Valley stepped up to conserve, hundreds of entities were shielded from water cuts this summer. This is how Coloradans show up for each other.
Alamosa School District proved what's possible when a community comes together to make sure students are present and engaged in the classroom. Inspired by their success, I’ve introduced the Keep Kids in School Act to make sure every school has the resources to support every student.
The Dobbs decision has endangered women's lives, criminalized doctors, and forced Americans out of their home states just to receive reproductive care. In the face of these dangerous attacks on freedom, I will not stop fighting until abortion rights are permanently protected in federal law.
Four years ago, Trump’s radical Supreme Court majority overturned Roe v. Wade, ensuring that an entire generation of Americans will inherit fewer liberties than the one before them.
His war is a generational blunder. That’s why I have voted repeatedly to advance War Powers Resolutions, and why I voted again today to stop this conflict. I will continue doing everything in my power to bring this war to an end.
Trump’s war has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars, cost servicemembers’ lives, drained our weapons stockpiles, allowed Russia to profit from high oil prices, and showed China that he will fold under pressure, all without accomplishing any of the President’s objectives.
Despite Trump’s insistence that he has a deal, he continues threatening strikes on Iran, which is why the action Congress took today is critical. Americans are still footing the bill for Trump’s war of choice, with gas prices through the roof.
Today, the Senate joined the House to pass a War Powers Resolution directing President Trump to end his reckless war in Iran. I was proud to cast a key vote to get it over the finish line.
As we remember Karen and stand with Colorado’s Jewish community and those forever affected by this act of violence, we remain committed to confronting antisemitism wherever it appears. We must respond to hate with action, courage, and solidarity.
The Senate has passed our resolution marking the one-year anniversary of the horrific antisemitic attack in Boulder that took the life of Karen Diamond.
When Mike Lee tried to sell off 3 million acres of our public lands last time, we shut him down. I'm leading the fight to make sure no one can try to auction off our public lands through a backroom budget deal ever again. Our kids' inheritance is not for sale. www.kunc.org/regional-new...
The Trump Administration must clear this backlog immediately so that Dreamers serving Colorado as first responders, law enforcement officers, healthcare workers, and firefighters can continue to serve and protect the communities that depend on them.
