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.
Congress must reassert our authority to prevent any president from unilaterally pursuing trade policies that make our country weaker and Americans poorer.
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.
For decades, Five Points was a musical hub where Black excellence flourished and jazz legends like Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis performed.
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.
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.
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.
Colorado is ringing in the Lunar New Year! As one of only a few states to recognize Lunar New Year as an official state holiday, Colorado celebrates the Year of the Fire Horse — representing powerful energy, momentum, and transformation. (Photo: Far East Center)
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.
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.
This week, I was glad to sit down with researchers, family members, and self-advocates with the Global Down Syndrome Foundation to discuss how we can improve health outcomes and extend lives for Coloradans with Down Syndrome.
