The 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics showcased the very best of Colorado. Our 31 athletes represented Team USA with excellence, and these remarkable athletes took home 5 gold and 2 bronze medals. Congratulations to all of our Olympians — you have made Colorado proud.

The President must immediately reverse course and advance pending arms sales to Taiwan.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 22(source)

President Trump’s use of Taiwan’s security as a bargaining chip in talks with Beijing to address a trade war he needlessly started is unacceptable and contrary to President Reagan’s “Six Assurances” 1982 principles – to which all U.S. administrations have since adhered.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 22(source)

Taiwan is a vibrant democracy and key partner whose survival is crucial to U.S. national security.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 20(source)

Congress must reassert our authority to prevent any president from unilaterally pursuing trade policies that make our country weaker and Americans poorer.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 20(source)

President Trump’s trade war has needlessly undercut small businesses, increased costs for Coloradans, and alienated key allies and partners. Today, the Supreme Court ruled many of Trump’s tariffs illegal. But the damage has been done.

This weekend, the Five Points Jazz Roots Festival celebrates Colorado's jazz artists and honors the neighborhood as a cornerstone of Black history in Denver.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 20(source)

For decades, Five Points was a musical hub where Black excellence flourished and jazz legends like Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis performed.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 20(source)

Denver's Five Points neighborhood — once known as the Harlem of the West — defined Black life and culture across the American West throughout the 20th century.

In 2022, my bill designating Amache as a National Historic Site was made possible by the tireless work of survivors and descendants who fought to preserve and share this history.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 19(source)

Today marks the 84th anniversary of the forced removal of Japanese Americans to incarceration facilities like Camp Amache during WWII—a shameful period in American history we must never forget.

I will continue to show up, listen, and fight alongside the Tribes for clean water, cultural sovereignty, and a strong future for Tribal youth. Thank you, Chairman Whiteskunk and members of Tribal council, for welcoming me back to Ute Mountain Ute land.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 18(source)

Last week, I was honored to meet with the Ute Mountain Ute's Tribal Council in Towaoc. My relationship with both Colorado Ute Tribes is one of my most important responsibilities as Senator.

Ramadan Mubarak, Colorado! As the first day of fasting begins, I wish Muslim families here in Colorado and around the world a time filled with reflection, gratitude, and community. I hope this sacred month brings renewal and strength to you and your loved ones.

May this new year bring you good health, abundance, and new beginnings. Gong hei fat choy!

Rev. Jackson devoted his life to lifting up the voices of those who are too often forgotten and building coalitions to enact real change. His legacy of steadfast commitment to justice will continue on.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 17(source)

We are a nation torn between the worst impulses and the highest ideals of our Constitution. Rev. Jesse Jackson embodied the highest ideals of liberty and equality and challenged the rest of us to do the same.
