Countless Coloradans are now facing similar choices because of Republicans' failure to extend critical premium tax credits. I will keep fighting in Washington to find a solution and protect Coloradans' health care. (2/2)
After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Cyndi relied on her Connect for Health plan for the life-saving treatments and therapies she needed. Now she's in remission & facing the impossible choice of skipping her annual appointments or paying $1200 more/ month for coverage she can't afford. (1/2)
Bob's story is the reality for countless Coloradans. Working families in our state simply cannot afford to pay thousands more every month for health insurance. I will keep fighting to ensure more Coloradans don’t lose their coverage as a result of this crisis.
The Trump Administration spent $20 billion in taxpayer dollars to prop up Argentina and paved the way for their beef producers to profit at the expense of our own. I will continue to demand answers from Trump’s appointees for this ridiculous policy and betrayal of Colorado’s ranchers.
Yesterday, the Durango community came together to peacefully protest the cruel actions of an ICE raid that separated a family. I am outraged to see that in response, ICE confronted the protestors with pepper spray, rubber bullets, and physical force. (1/2)
Instead of ending his trade war and bringing down costs to help struggling ranchers, President Trump is prioritizing his friendship with Argentina’s president & his country’s beef producers over our own. Colorado ranchers and their families deserve stability, not politically driven trade policies.
Higher premiums will force working families across the state to choose between health care and other necessities like groceries or rent. And yet, Republicans refuse to extend this critical lifeline. (2/2)

The proposed acquisition of Tegna — the parent company of 9News — by Nexstar, would make it the largest local broadcasting company in the country & threaten local journalism in Colorado and beyond. Proud to partner with @bennet.senate.gov in imploring the FCC to reject it.
Next year, a couple in El Paso County could be forced to pay $950 a month for health insurance. This is the real cost of Republicans' refusal to negotiate to extend premium health care tax credits for working families. Coloradans cannot afford it.
If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing: A couple in Jackson County would pay over $1400 a month for health insurance. There are real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.
President Trump’s repeated attempts to exploit one of the last truly wild landscapes in America will have irreversible consequences. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is simply too precious and culturally significant for oil and gas development. (1/2)
Breaking News: The U.S. will allow oil and gas drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest remaining tracts of pristine wilderness in the country. nyti.ms/3WhrQui

As many federal workers continue to work without pay, I’ve refused to accept my own and will donate my salary to Colorado organizations in need once Republicans come to the table and finally end their shutdown.
Up to 100,000 Coloradans could lose their health coverage if ACA premium tax credits aren’t extended. This is an issue of life and death. Republicans must come to the table now to prevent the loss of this lifeline before it’s too late.
Amid Putin’s barrage of attacks – and his unwillingness to seriously negotiate an end to this conflict – we must provide greater support for Ukraine’s air defenses, continue intelligence-sharing, and, in concert with our allies, leverage Russian sovereign assets on Ukraine’s behalf. (2/2)
