From withholding SNAP funds to refusing to address sky-high health care costs, the Trump admin is using the shutdown to inflict pain on working families. It’s downright cruel.

The growing wildfire crisis won't wait, and neither can we. It's why we came together to write bipartisan legislation to protect our communities. www.youtube.com/shorts/FOcqu...
The White House puts Argentina first. Colorado ranchers, producers, and consumers suffer. www.coloradopolitics.com/2025/10/23/t...
Every year, our office has the high honor of nominating Colorado’s best and brightest to attend one of our nation’s military academies. It was great to meet with some of the students yesterday in Denver and thank the staff assisting with the process.
Across Colorado, families will face increased monthly premiums unless Republicans vote to extend ACA premium tax credits. Hear directly from Coloradans about how these cuts would affect them and their families in the latest edition of our newsletter: senatorhickenlooper.substack.com/p/meet-the-c...
The last thing Colorado families need right now is to be kicked off their insurance or have their health care costs DOUBLE in price.
This fight is about the lives of real Americans.
Trump betrays his promises to our ranchers and producers when he puts his friends in Argentina over hardworking Americans.
The health care we’re fighting for is life or death for Coloradans. sentinelcolorado.com/opinion/perr...
Over 600,000 people in Colorado rely on SNAP for their next meal.
The White House is using kids and families as leverage instead of working with Democrats to solve the health care crisis and reopen the government. youtube.com/shorts/bu-hK...
For 22 hours, @merkley.senate.gov held the Senate floor to sound the alarm on the promises broken by the Trump administration. We’re proud to call him our colleague.
Tariffs are a tax that American small businesses (and our economy) can’t afford.
We should be doing all we can to uplift our small businesses, not crush them.
If the ACA tax credits expire, the increases to health care costs will be dramatic for Colorado families and the suffering will be real.
Congress should address the health care crisis AND reopen the government TODAY.
Colorado farmers and ranchers are already getting slammed by Trump’s tariff-taxes. Now, he wants to prioritize Argentina’s beef producers over our own.
What happened to putting Americans first? Our ranchers deserve better.
Got to chat with Western Governors Association (old stomping grounds!) about how our bipartisan bill is a big win for communities across the West to clean up abandoned mine sites and prevent further pollution.

Wishing all celebrating in Colorado and across the globe a bright and joyful Diwali!
Unions help build the middle class and give workers the voice they deserve.
Great to be at the ribbon cutting for IBEW Local Union #68’s renovated Union Membership Hall in Denver!
We joined fellow Coloradans at Aurora’s No Kings protest yesterday.
America will NEVER bend the knee to a wannabe king. We choose democracy.
Joined CPR’s Colorado Matters podcast this week to talk about why we’re fighting for your health care. Tune in here:

MAGA Republicans could choose to end the shutdown TODAY.
Instead, they’re choosing to play politics with the health care of Americans.
