Four years ago, Trump’s radical Supreme Court majority overturned Roe v. Wade, ensuring that an entire generation of Americans will inherit fewer liberties than the one before them.
His war is a generational blunder. That’s why I have voted repeatedly to advance War Powers Resolutions, and why I voted again today to stop this conflict. I will continue doing everything in my power to bring this war to an end.
Trump’s war has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars, cost servicemembers’ lives, drained our weapons stockpiles, allowed Russia to profit from high oil prices, and showed China that he will fold under pressure, all without accomplishing any of the President’s objectives.
Despite Trump’s insistence that he has a deal, he continues threatening strikes on Iran, which is why the action Congress took today is critical. Americans are still footing the bill for Trump’s war of choice, with gas prices through the roof.
Today, the Senate joined the House to pass a War Powers Resolution directing President Trump to end his reckless war in Iran. I was proud to cast a key vote to get it over the finish line.
As we remember Karen and stand with Colorado’s Jewish community and those forever affected by this act of violence, we remain committed to confronting antisemitism wherever it appears. We must respond to hate with action, courage, and solidarity.
The Senate has passed our resolution marking the one-year anniversary of the horrific antisemitic attack in Boulder that took the life of Karen Diamond.
When Mike Lee tried to sell off 3 million acres of our public lands last time, we shut him down. I'm leading the fight to make sure no one can try to auction off our public lands through a backroom budget deal ever again. Our kids' inheritance is not for sale. www.kunc.org/regional-new...
The Trump Administration must clear this backlog immediately so that Dreamers serving Colorado as first responders, law enforcement officers, healthcare workers, and firefighters can continue to serve and protect the communities that depend on them.
Colorado will not be intimidated. Our election system is secure, transparent, and trusted by Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters. We will not dismantle a system Coloradans trust to satisfy a president still peddling election lies.
From launching a food truck to earning one of the most prestigious honors in the culinary world, I am thrilled to celebrate Chef Wong and her remarkable team on this recognition.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads across Colorado! My girls are the reason I continue to fight every day for Colorado’s future, making our state better for them and the generations who will inherit it.
This was a taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward Trump loyalists, including Tina Peters. If it's truly dead, rescind it. Put it in writing. The rule of law demands more than empty assurances.
Lynn Bartels was a force in any newsroom. Colorado will miss her inspired and intrepid voice and her sharp wit. Susan, the girls, and I send our love to Lynn’s family with gratitude for her great service to journalism and to our state.
This day marks a critical milestone in our nation's fight for freedom, one that demands we continue to push towards the highest ideals of equality that our Constitution has always promised, but has never fully delivered.
