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.
Last week, I held my 10th Colorado town hall of 2025. Thousands of Coloradans came out to ask questions on the issues that matter most. This is the best part of my job, hearing from Coloradans and bringing their thoughts and ideas back to D.C. Thank you for coming out and making your voices heard.
In just the first four months of this Administration, Donald Trump has already benefited financially by issuing cryptocurrency. This rampant corruption can no longer go unchecked.
This afternoon I spoke on the Senate floor to condemn the attack in Boulder and to stand with the Jewish community, for freedom – of speech and religion – and against fear.
Extreme weather conditions continue to worsen due to climate change. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated that we will see between six to 10 hurricanes this season. But sure, let's keep making jokes when people's lives are on the line. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Happy Pride Month, Colorado! In June, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community across the world and how they make our communities better. As LGBTQ+ Americans continue to be the target of discrimination and violence, we must recommit to the fight for equality.
As new information about the Antisemitic attack in Boulder continues to become available, I want to thank local and federal law enforcement who immediately rushed to the scene. Their efforts yesterday to secure the area undoubtedly saved lives and prevented additional injuries.
It is particularly painful that this attack occurred as the Jewish community prepares to celebrate Shavuot. We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to combating antisemitism in all of its forms.
In recent years, antisemitism has reached unprecedented levels in the U.S. – leading to attacks like this hate-fueled incident in Boulder and the recent murders in Washington, D.C.
Susan and I are praying for the victims of today’s horrific antisemitic attack against Coloradans marching peacefully in support of the hostages Hamas has held in Gaza for over 600 days.
My thoughts are with the victims of the horrifying terror attack that occurred this afternoon in Boulder. Hate and violence of any kind will not be tolerated in Colorado. I will remain in contact with local officials as new information becomes available.
The Colorado River Basin has lost 27.8M acre-feet of groundwater since 2003 – nearly equal to Lake Mead’s capacity. This water system is essential to our way of life in the West, and I’ll keep fighting to protect it for the 40M people who rely on it every day. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
This week's Supreme Court decision is deeply disappointing — the Uinta Basin Railway threatens Colorado’s communities, watersheds, and forests. I stand by Eagle County as they continue this fight in the D.C. Circuit. Read my full statement with @neguse.house.gov below ⬇️
This week, I enjoyed speaking with Coloradans at town halls in Pueblo, Centennial, and Denver. Thank you to the hundreds of people who showed up to make their voices heard on everything from combating corruption in government to fighting Republican Medicaid cuts.
SNAP, our most effective nutrition assistance program, is under attack. Instead of lowering grocery bills, the Republican Budget Bill would leave 4M+ kids, seniors, veterans and working families with less food. This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s cruelty disguised as budgeting.
