President Trump's termination of Forest Service employees trained to respond to wildfire is reckless, especially as we approach summer with below-average snowpack. With colleagues from across Colorado, I am calling for their reinstatement.
I know firsthand the dedication and hard work it takes to participate in the Senate page program. I was glad to meet with our new Senate page this week and thank her for her commitment to public service.
Congratulations to Colorado Springs astronaut Nichole Ayers on her first spacewalk from the International Space Station, NASA’s fifth-ever all-female spacewalk. It’s great to see Coloradans continue to lead the way in space.
I spoke on the Senate floor in opposition to the SAVE Act. All this bill will do is make it harder for millions of American citizens to register and exercise their right to vote - including women and voters in rural communities across the country.
As a father, I can't imagine the heartbreak of seeing your sick child go without lifesaving treatments. Removing U.S. children, especially those with critical illnesses, crosses a dangerous line — and it's a dark moment we cannot ignore. No administration is above the law.
From launching a trade war that is decimating the economy, to emboldening Vladimir Putin's aggression, to terminating tens of thousands of critical federal workers, Donald Trump’s first 100 days have been a disaster – and the American people are taking notice.
Congratulations to Mark Carney on his election as Canadian Prime Minister. As President Trump alienates our allies with his costly trade war and chaotic foreign policy, it’s more important than ever to strengthen U.S.-Canada cooperation.
After 75 years, a Colorado soldier killed in the Korean War will return home to be laid to rest. I’m thinking of U.S. Army Sergeant Orace Mestas’ family and loved ones. I’m grateful this American hero will finally receive the recognition and dignity he deserves.
Global immunizations have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years – one life every 10 seconds. World Immunization Week reminds us that we must keep fighting for the immunization programs that make America safer, healthier, and more prosperous.
I’m thinking of the victims, their families, and all those affected by the horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir earlier this week. I stand with our friends in India and around the world in condemning this senseless violence against civilians.
After my town hall in Grand Junction last night, one thing is clear: Coloradans are fed up with the Trump administration’s chaos. From combating President Trump’s trade war to funding public education, we must keep fighting to protect our state for every Coloradan.
Ukraine accepted President Trump’s 30-day ceasefire proposal in March. Putin rejected it and continues to pummel Ukraine – including with today’s attack on Kyiv, Russia’s deadliest strike on the city in nearly a year. Russia is the obstacle to peace, not Ukraine.
Across Colorado, rural health care providers face numerous challenges, from workforce shortages to financial strain. Representative Jeff Hurd and I sat down with some providers to discuss how we can help them better serve their communities.
