Lower costs and affordable health care. Why can’t President Trump get it in his head that’s what Americans want?

This was already struck down by a federal court last month. Directly after, we visited the Aurora ICE facility to ensure they were following the order. Now, Sec. Noem has found a loophole. We’ve fought this before, we’ll fight this again. Congressional oversight is constitutionally required.
NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
It was great to be at the National Western Stock Show in Denver to chat with folks from all across the state!
We met with leaders from the Latino community in Denver to hear more about how we can work together to advance affordable health care, fight for economic policies for working families, and push back on Trump’s cruel immigration policies.
People across the West cherish our public lands. For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of our forests. In the face of Trump’s efforts to repeal this rule and sell our public lands, we’ll always keep fighting to protect these lands for future generations.
President Trump continues to use the federal government as an arsenal to deploy against political adversaries. He doesn’t care that his actions will disrupt our economy and hurt working families. Americans want lower prices, not score settling.

Americans are struggling with the soaring cost of housing, health care, and groceries in Trump’s economy. The mere talk of invading Greenland betrays American values, threatens NATO, and exposes this administration’s failure to put working people first.
Good. Going after child care services for Colorado families is just plain cruel.
ICE is out of control. Separating families. Shooting Americans in cold blood. Profiling folks based on the color of their skin or the language they speak.
We need accountability for ICE. We need it now.
🚨 Senator Bennet and I are continuing to hold up the minibus to demand full funding for the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder.
The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that Republicans voted to cut just last summer. It’s the critical next step in making sure all Americans have access to affordable, accessible, and universal health care. The Senate needs to vote on this ASAP.
This is D.C. at its worst. Every single U.S. House member supported this bill to bring clean water to Southeastern CO before Christmas — Democrats & Republicans. But they refused to stick to their guns & override Trump’s retaliatory veto. Rural Colorado is paying the price for these political games.
The House will vote today on overriding President Trump’s veto of our bipartisan, unanimous Arkansas Valley Conduit bill.
Rural water projects shouldn’t be used as political weapons. Congress must stand up to Trump’s intimidation and override this veto.
Americans don’t want their government spending millions of dollars to ‘run Venezuela.’ They want affordable groceries and health care and good-paying jobs. It’s time Washington listened.
(3/3)
But this U.S. sponsored regime change has opened the door to one more ‘forever war’ – a chapter we swore was behind us.
(2/3)
Congress, not the President, decides when this country goes to war.
Nicolás Maduro is a corrupt, tyrannical leader who has trampled the democratic will of the Venezuelan people.
(1/3)
Every single Senator and every single House member voted for our Arkansas Valley Conduit bill. But then Trump vetoed it.
Trump is leaving real people out to dry for his own political grievances and making our rural communities pay the price.
From @bennet.senate.gov and I in @ms.now:
“It’s southeast Colorado today, but if we allow basic infrastructure projects to be used as a political weapon, it could be your community tomorrow.” www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
The footage out of Minneapolis is horrifying. ICE cannot continue their rein of terror across this country. Countless families separated and today a woman killed.
We need an immediate, independent investigation into this shooting.
