President Trump has announced a "deal" to end his reckless and costly Iran war. Ending this war is necessary. But Trump’s deal appears to be a bad one.
President Trump is doing exactly what he said he'd do: taking a wrecking ball to the Department of Education. By offloading special education and civil rights offices' onto agencies that have no business or experience running a classroom, it's Colorado's most vulnerable kids who will pay the price.
That's why I introduced the KIDS Act, critical legislation that would end child detention for good. We must fight with all we’ve got to keep families together and ensure every kid can get to school safely and without fear.
With Trump deporting, detaining, and blocking renewals for eligible Dreamers who did everything right, Congress has never had a more urgent reason to secure the pathway to citizenship they've earned.
Iran's nuclear program is intact. A more radical Iranian regime remains in power and holds leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.  The American people know a bad deal when they see one.
After spending tens of billions of dollars, hitting Coloradans with $546 million in gas price increases, depleting our munitions, and endangering U.S. troops, Trump's "deal" to end his illegal war leaves America worse off than we were before.
As a result of remarkable international and local collaboration, this museum will strengthen Pueblo's local economy and give Colorado kids access to world-class exhibitions in their very own backyard.
The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Plan was created through years of work, public comment, and Tribal consultation. We must uphold this collaborative effort to protect the Colorado Tribe’s irreplaceable cultural resources and history.
Colorado is no stranger to this kind of targeted violence. We will never stop fighting to ensure every member of the LGBTQ+ community feels safe — and to make sure the voices demanding change are heard.
I'm proud to join my colleagues to protect women traveling for reproductive healthcare and safeguard doctors from anti-choice attacks. I won’t stop fighting for this lifeline for women forced to leave their home states just to receive the care they need.
Tina Peters went to prison for compromising election equipment and now she's branding herself a "champion of election integrity." She's learned nothing — and I’m fighting to make sure she never sees a taxpayer-funded payout.
NEW: Election denier Tina Peters — who was convicted for her role in a 2021 voting system breach — accused Democrats of stealing elections and falsely claimed voting machines are being used to change election outcomes. The comments come less than two weeks after her release from a Colorado prison.
Because of Trump's reckless war with Iran, inflation has hit a three-year high of 4.2%. Gas prices are up. Grocery bills are up. Families are struggling to put food on the table. And the President says he's "loving it."
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.
Coloradans deserve to know why Trump is stealing $90 million from our national parks and blowing it on firework shows and fountains. Robbing parks to pay for Trump's pet projects puts our iconic public lands at risk. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
