It’s been an incredibly challenging year for all of us. But even with the cruelty and chaos of this administration, I’ve never lost hope. Thank you for being a light in such a difficult time. We are going to get through it together.

The Forest Service is reorganizing in the middle of wildfire season, after massive staff cuts. Colorado is experiencing one of the worst droughts on record. This fire season is going to be dangerous for so many across our state. @SecRollins needs to answer for why this is

So great meeting with the incredible team at Planned Parenthood yesterday. At a moment when reproductive freedom & access to health care are under constant attack in Washington, their work has never been more important. When I was young and uninsured, I relied on Planned

A ballroom. A UFC fight at the White House. Paint for the Reflecting Pool. All just smoke and mirrors to cover up the reality that families are footing the bill for this Administration's incompetence and grift. A fresh layer of paint can't cover up Trump's terrible policies.

Republicans just handed ICE & CBP a $70 BILLION check to continue ripping families apart & terrorizing immigrant communities. At the same time, they're taking health care away from millions of Americans & cutting food assistance for hungry families. This is what Trump and

Trump and Republicans decimated Medicaid – all to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich. That means people with cancer & patients with HIV will be forced to go without the care they need to survive. While millionaires & billionaires get richer. Just disgraceful.
People with cancer or HIV could lose Medicaid under new work rules, advocates say

Trump promised this war would be over in weeks. We just hit day 100. Now families are struggling to fill up our tanks and grocery carts and keep up with utility bills. Everything costs more now, and Trump isn't doing anything about it. We didn't start this war. We shouldn't be

Every single one of Colorado's 64 counties is in drought, bringing an exponential wildfire risk and devastating impacts to our economy. Meanwhile, Trump continues to gut funding for wildfire mitigation & recovery, and investments in the critical water projects we need to thrive.

While Colorado families were sleeping, Senate Republicans passed a bill that gives $70 billion to ICE with no protections and no guardrails. And Trump's slush fund? Not a single protection. Nothing to stop him from handing taxpayer-funded checks to insurrectionists — while

Ukraine isn't just fighting for Ukraine. They're fighting against Russian aggression that threatens democracy there, all over Europe, and even here. We have bipartisan support in the House and the Senate. That's why we forced a vote on legislation that would support Ukraine's

I'm utterly horrified that a group of students in Boulder justified the deadly firebombing attack last year that targeted the Jewish community and encouraged others to follow the murderer's "act of resistance." Anti-Semitic rhetoric like this continues to put the Jewish
