Colorado, it's Women's Health Week. As Americans’ health care and women’s reproductive freedom continue to come under attack, it’s more important than ever to ensure women have access to the care and resources they need to have control over their bodies and futures.
It was great to speak with Western Growers about our shared work to deliver for producers on the frontlines of major issues across Colorado and the West. Western agriculture faces unique challenges, and I’m committed to showing up for our farmers, families, and rural communities.
Under the current Republican tax plan, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance or see their costs increase – all for tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. This bill doesn't benefit anyone but President Trump and his ultra-wealthy friends.
As President Trump's trade war alienates key partners in Latin America and the Caribbean, China is stepping in to advance its influence. We need legislation like my bipartisan Americas Act to renew U.S. partnerships and create joint economic prosperity across the Western Hemisphere.
His plan to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One is an act of blatant corruption and a violation of our Constitution that poses severe counterintelligence risks, needlessly undermining U.S. national security.
While President Trump claims to target fraud and abuse, his actions continue to prove that his priorities are his own interests and those of his wealthy friends – not the American people, the American interest, or the rule of law.
After more than 19 months in captivity, I’m relieved Edan Alexander, the last American hostage held captive by Hamas terrorists, has been reunited with his family. The Trump administration must continue pushing to bring home every innocent hostage and end this war.
President Trump's decision to defend or roll back key mental health parity regulations is one that will affect millions of Americans’ access to critical mental health care. As Colorado and our country face a mental and behavioral health crisis, we need these now more than ever.
Members of @cohospitalassn.bsky.social stopped by my office this week to discuss everything from protecting our rural hospitals to defending Medicaid. I’ll keep using every tool at my disposal to defend this critical program for the millions of Coloradans who rely on it.
It's Public Service Recognition Week, and President Trump’s office closures and mass terminations continue to sow chaos and confusion. Our dedicated public servants provide essential services for the American people – they need our support now more than ever.
While President Trump alienates U.S. allies, China and Russia are bolstering their cooperation, with Beijing backing Putin's war on Ukraine. For our own national security, we must stand firm with our allies and partners. Abandoning them makes the world more dangerous, not less.
Vice President Vance has finally realized what we have long known: Russia is the obstacle to peace, not Ukraine. The Trump administration must continue surging military assistance to and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine so that we can achieve a just and enduring peace that ends this war.
It was great to meet with Space Force Gen. Chance Saltzman. We discussed the Space Force’s vital mission to protect U.S. national security by advancing our interests in, from & to space. CO’s Space Force installations lead that charge — and I’ll keep fighting to make sure they stay at the forefront.
As a former school superintendent, I know teaching is one of the toughest, most important careers. On #TeacherAppreciationDay, I am grateful for our state’s extraordinary teachers. Their dedication to shaping the next generation of Coloradans inspires me every day.
