Democrats increased and expanded the Child Tax Credit in 2021 so that every family could get it — cutting child poverty in half and hunger by a quarter. Families received it every month, so they could afford groceries, gas, and school supplies. (1/2)

15 years ago, I introduced my Lobbying Ban after I saw the "pay-to-play" politics in Washington up close. It was clear then that we weren't doing enough to stop it. It's even clearer today. I am glad @neguse.house.gov and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov are now championing this fight in the House.

This administration continues to promote policy that targets the LGBTQ+ community under the guise of cutting costs. At a time when LGBTQ+ people face increasing discrimination, we must protect this community, not abandon them.

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

Today, the Trump administration shut down 988 suicide prevention counseling for LGBTQ+ youth. This program was a lifeline for a population that is four times more likely to consider suicide than their peers.

Trump administration shuts down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ youth service, which has provided queer youths with specialized services since 2022, was officially terminated Thursday.

For years, our rural and mountain communities have faced postal delays. I look forward to working with Postmaster General Steiner to improve postal service for all Coloradans, regardless of where they live.

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

Today, I led my Colorado colleagues in congratulating our 76th Postmaster General, David Steiner, on his appointment and urged him to prioritize improving service across our state.

In difficult times like these, his legacy reminds us not to give up faith in our democracy or the power of our voice as we continue to hold our country to its highest ideals.

Today, we remember John Lewis' indomitable spirit and his fight for every American's dignity, self-determination, and self-evident right to vote.

Early this morning, I voted NO on Republicans' dangerous cuts to foreign assistance and public broadcasting. Rural and tribal communities across Colorado will now face the loss of a critical lifeline: access to free news reporting and life-saving weather alerts.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 16(source)

It was great to meet with our summer interns today and thank them for their dedication to serving Coloradans. My office would not be the same without their hard work.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 16(source)

That is why I introduced an amendment to prevent this type of rank corruption. It is our duty to call out this illicit profiteering. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 16(source)

Americans agree: Presidents and Vice Presidents shouldn't profit from personal crypto schemes while in office. This week alone, President Trump is set to make over $90M from issuing memecoins. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 16(source)

Right now, Senate Republicans are forcing over $1B in cuts to public broadcasting. This attack on news outlets like NPR & PBS threatens stations across the country and in Colorado that are lifelines for rural & tribal communities. I will keep speaking out & fighting against these disastrous cuts.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 15(source)

This is an unbelievable waste of food and taxpayer dollars, and yet another mark of this administration's incompetence and cruelty. (2/2)

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food

Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 15(source)

The Trump Administration's unconscionable decision to cut off lifesaving resources for the most vulnerable people in the world has led to the expiration of 500 metric tons of food - enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week. (1/2)

We need a fair immigration system in this country that respects due process and upholds our nation's greatest traditions. (2/2)

Bennet, Hickenlooper, Colleagues Press Trump Administration on Weaponizing Immigration Court Hearings to Arrest Immigrants - U.S. Senator Michael Bennet

Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper joined 22 of their Senate colleagues to press U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Department of Homeland Security Secretary ...

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 15(source)

I joined my colleagues to demand that the Trump administration end the weaponization of immigration court hearings as an inhumane trap to arrest immigrants. These tactics are a manipulation of the law and a cruel replacement for proper immigration enforcement. (1/2)

Thank you to Joe Neguse and everyone who came out to our Summit County town hall last week to make your voice heard and discuss the most important issues our state is facing at this moment.

The Republican Budget Bill abandons the historic progress we made towards building a clean energy future and burdens Coloradans with higher energy costs as a result. I urge every Coloradan to take advantage of the clean energy tax credits before they expire as soon as this year.

How Trump’s big new law will affect clean energy tax credits, home efficiency upgrades for Colorado’s mountain towns

Coloradans will need to act fast if they want to take advantage of a suite of federal tax credits for home energy upgrades and electric vehicles. The new tax and spending cut law signed by...
