Allowing our CO Air National Guard members to remain in Greeley is the right decision that gives much-needed clarity to our servicemembers and their families. The assignment also helps ensure these talented professionals can continue serving and making Colorado proud.

ICE is completely out of control. We can’t have a rogue, masked police force separating families and terrorizing our communities. Not one penny more for ICE.

We don’t need an illegal war with Iran. We need to fight the rising healthcare costs hammering Americans.

Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govMay 26(source)

Colorado is facing a water crisis. We won’t stop pushing the administration until all of the $152 million in grants we secured for the CO River are released.

Not this nonsense again. Shutting down customs at major U.S. airports would hurt millions of American businesses, workers, and families — not to mention totally upend international travel. Another example of Trump making life harder when he should be lowering costs.

Homeland Security’s Plan to Squeeze International Flights

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told travel executives he may target airports in cities that don’t help ICE.

Reasons why folks don’t feel good about the economy: Trump’s illegal war→higher gas prices Trump’s illegal war→higher food costs Trump’s illegal tariffs→robbing businesses Trump’s illegal tariffs→Trumpflation

On Memorial Day, we remember and honor those service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.

Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund — to pay rioters who attacked police officers on January 6th — is corrupt and unconscionable. The Congress must stop it.

Whether it’s a casino or a prediction market, the house always wins. The CFTC needs to do more to protect consumers. @hickenlooper.senate.gov & I are urging the CFTC to prohibit margin trading that can result in users losing more money than they bet.

Coloradans are feeling this historic drought. Hear what farmers and ranchers who are on the frontlines of this water crisis are saying:

It’s called the 14th amendment. It’s in our constitution, President Trump. We know you’re cheap on everything but ballrooms, so we found you the cheapest one.

President Trump says it would be a "disgrace" if the Supreme Court does not strike down birthright citizenship, adding that he hopes the justices "do what's right."

Denver County Court Judge André Rudolph was a dedicated public servant who believed deeply in justice and equal treatment under the law. Thinking of his family and friends.

This weekend, 45 million Americans are traveling. They’re paying more at the pump and at the airport. Gas is up 52%. Jet fuel is up 56%. Trump’s illegal war with Iran is the reason. Tina Peters doesn’t deserve more money in her pocket, you do. (2/2)

Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govMay 22(source)

Republicans fled town instead of voting on our amendment to stop Trump from giving your tax dollars to election deniers like Tina Peters. (1/2)

The NSF nominee should be put on the record about their plans to lead the world’s top science agency. (2/2)

Senator John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.senate.govMay 22(source)

The NSF is crucial to U.S. leadership in science. The American people deserve a director who isn’t afraid to publicly face questions. Yet, there hasn’t been a confirmation hearing for the NSF director in over 30 years. (1/2)
