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.

I will keep fighting to secure increased federal funding for critical research and comprehensive medical care for Americans with Down Syndrome.

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

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.

Evie also shattered barriers in athletics as the first woman to serve as Vice President of the U.S. Olympic Committee throughout most of the 1980s and made history as Chef de Mission for Team USA at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea.

As the first woman and the first Black Coloradan to serve as Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, she led critical desegregation efforts during one of the most divisive periods in Colorado’s public education history.

Evie Dennis is a pioneering Colorado leader who championed equality from Denver classrooms to the Olympic stage.

Eight years ago, 17 people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Today, we remember the students and staff members who lost their lives. We stand with their families to honor their memory and fight for a future where no child has to fear gun violence in their classroom.

Today, I urged the International Olympic Committee to finally allow women to compete in Nordic Combined at the Winter Games.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 13(source)

Coloradans Alexa Brabec and Annika Malacinski have the talent to medal in Women's Nordic Combined for Team USA. But Nordic Combined is the ONLY Winter Olympic sport that excludes women.

Bennet, Hickenlooper Urge International Olympic Committee to Allow Women to Compete in Nordic Combined - U.S. Senator Michael Bennet

Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper sent a letter to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to support the future of the Nordic Combined by not only conti...

Instead of protecting American lives, Trump's EPA is playing dangerous political games with our health and safety.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 13(source)

By abandoning the Endangerment Finding, President Trump is ignoring decades of scientific research and turning his back on Coloradans facing devastating wildfires, floods, and droughts driven by climate change.

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

President Trump promised that other countries would pay for his tariffs. The truth: American businesses and consumers paid nearly 90% of tariff costs in 2025. With prices rising and paychecks stretched thin, working families are paying the price for Trump’s reckless trade agenda.

NY Fed report says Americans pay for almost all of Trump's tariffs

Americans are shouldering almost all of President Donald Trump’s import tax surge, a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said on Thursday.

I won't stop fighting for a complete overhaul of leadership and operations at DHS.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 12(source)

I voted NO on the Republican DHS bill, as it does nothing to hold ICE agents accountable or stop families from being torn apart. Senate Republicans refused to guarantee basic accountability measures, leaving critical agencies like FEMA and TSA without funding while the Senate takes week off.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 12(source)

Trump and Senate Republicans have abandoned the middle class—weakening our economic security and leaving future generations to pay off trillions in debt.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 12(source)

President Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" will add over $3 trillion to our national deficit. While Trump hands tax cuts to billionaires and large corporations, deficits are soaring to the highest levels since World War II.

U.S. Budget Hole Set to Deepen by Trillions

The budget deficit will widen over the next decade as interest costs consume an increasing share of spending, the CBO said in a forecast that highlighted the country’s long-run fiscal challenges.
