I just watched @padilla.senate.gov speak on the Senate Floor about the shocking situation he experienced last week. Hearing his account of being handcuffed and pushed to the ground just for trying to ask a question is horrifying. I stand with Senator Padilla and demand accountability.
The Republican Budget Bill will cause over 10M Americans to lose their health care. Now, six rural CO hospitals are at risk of closing due to this dangerous piece of legislation as well, which will make other hospitals busier. We should be making it easier for people to get health care, not harder.
ICYMI: Senate Republicans once again proved that they're only looking out for themselves and their rich friends. Their newly released tax plan cuts taxes for the wealthiest Americans and large corporations while increasing costs for working families.
Public lands make Colorado Colorado and the West the West. Democrats and Republicans across Colorado have come together to say our public lands are not for sale. Senate Republicans are out of their minds if they thought we weren't going to fight this radical proposal every step of the way.
🚨Yesterday congressional Republicans announced a new plan to sell between 2-3 MILLION acres of public lands across the West — including in Colorado — to pay for President Trump's reckless tax policies. We must defeat it. My statement with @bennet.senate.gov on the path ahead 👇🏾
President Trump's Birthday Parade will cost taxpayers up to $45M. Trump thinks Americans who died for our country in war are "losers" and "suckers." Today's vanity project isn't about celebrating our military; it's to boost his ego. It's a waste of time, money, and resources.
As a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, I am carefully monitoring developments in the Middle East and staying in close contact with our intelligence and national security agencies.
President Trump's budget request cuts assistance Ukraine, while Secretary Hegseth won't even say that he wants Ukraine to win this war. This is unacceptable when we have so much at stake. Letting Russia win is a loss for America - and democracy around the world.
Every family in America deserves to know their kids' drinking water is safe. That's why Senator Jim Justice and I introduced the FLOW Act to cut red tape and reduce the financial burdens communities face when replacing lead pipes.
Today, I joined Run for Their Lives and the Boulder Jewish community to honor the victims of last week’s horrific antisemitic attack and to call for the release of the hostages. Together, we stand united in combatting antisemitism in all its forms.
When I was in Colorado last week, I heard from veterans who told me they face an impossible choice at the VA: pay out of pocket for care they've earned or wait up to nine months to see a doctor. Our veterans deserve better. It's time for Congress to act.
Colorado is ready to connect tens of thousands of homes and businesses to affordable, high-speed internet through the BEAD program. Secretary Lutnick’s decision to ask states to reapply for funding will waste years of work and millions of dollars.
Last week, I spoke with patients at Denver Health who told me they wouldn't be alive today without Medicaid. The Republican Budget Bill will strip health care from Coloradans, who depend on this safety net to survive. Passing this bill will have lethal consequences.
