Colorado athletes dominate winter sports. In Milan Cortina, Colorado has more Olympic athletes competing than any other state. From Steamboat Springs to Durango, Coloradans are representing our state on the world stage. Colorado, let's bring home the gold!

Congress must make Russia pay a further price for its aggression and clarify the U.S.’s long-term commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and security – an effort I look forward to helping lead.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 9(source)

I was glad to see Chairman Stefanchuk again last week to reaffirm Congressional support for continued U.S. military, intelligence, and economic support for Ukraine.

Amid Putin’s intransigence in negotiations and daily attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian people remind us every day what it looks like to fight and die for democracy, for their country, and for the West.

Colorado is not only home to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, but at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, we also have the largest delegation of athletes representing America. Let’s bring home the gold!

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 7(source)

With the Olympics underway, I am looking forward to cheering on Team USA, and I applaud these athletes' commitment to excellence, team spirit, and fair competition.

Colorado is sending more athletes to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics than any other state

The skiingest state in the U.S. is sending 29 skiers and snowboarders, two figure skaters and a bobsledder to the 25th Winter Olympics

The President of the United States posted an abhorrent, racist video on social media — and he’s refusing to apologize or admit it was wrong. It’s a disgrace and it’s well below the Office of the President.

Today, I conducted an oversight visit of the Aurora ICE detention facility. Now more than ever, we need more oversight—not less. I won’t stop fighting for access, transparency, and accountability at every level of our immigration system.

I am committed to using every tool at my disposal to protect our federal workers.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 5(source)

President Trump wants to end basic job protections for 50,000 federal workers, punishing dedicated civil servants on a whim. Forcing federal workers to appease this administration or get fired undermines their ability to do their jobs serving the public interest.

Exclusive | Trump Administration to Make It Easier to Fire 50,000 Federal Workers

A rule issued on Thursday would create a government-employee category that offers fewer job protections.

I’ll keep fighting to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent on projects squarely in the public good.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 4(source)

After the Trump Administration slashed thousands of Forest Service employees–letting critical wildfire mitigation and recreation management efforts fall behind schedule–the last thing the agency should prioritize is a project that only benefits the very wealthy.

Just last week, Republicans blocked my amendment to add common-sense guardrails that would prevent this blatant corruption. Transactions like these make the urgent need for ethics reforms abundantly clear.

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company

$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 2(source)

Just before Trump took office, a senior UAE official secretly bought a $500 million stake in Trump's crypto venture – channeling millions to Trump family accounts. Later, the White House approved the sale of America's most advanced AI chips to the UAE, despite serious national security concerns.

From medicine and technology to arts and culture, Black history is the fabric of American history.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 2(source)

Black History Month is not just about honoring the endurance and resilience of Black Americans in the fight for racial justice and equality — it’s about celebrating the innovative vision, creativity, and ingenuity that have shaped what makes Colorado and this nation great.

Her involvement proves yet again that she is unfit to serve. As I have repeatedly said as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, she must resign.
