The DOJ withdrew its subpoenas to @nytimes.com reporters. At his confirmation hearing, I challenged Jay Clayton about whether these subpoenas respected the First Amendment and followed DOJ policy.

Today, I'm glad to introduce legislation with Representative Hurd and Senator Hickenlooper to defend this iconic landmark that sustains the local economy and has been a site of healing for the Ute Tribes since time immemorial.
I'm standing with the Glenwood Springs community to fight against renewed gravel mining threats to the Glenwood Hot Springs. Risking this one-of-a-kind resource is shortsighted and irresponsible.
These unlawful and corrupt terminations underscore that Trump and RFK Jr. do not care about the quality of your health care.
HHS must abide by bipartisan law and allocate this funding immediately.
Trump's HHS continues its assault on healthcare – this time by illegally dismantling the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and slashing tens of millions in research grants, including important research being done here in Colorado.
I'll continue to fight back against reckless trade policies that treat our farmers and ranchers as collateral damage.
President Trump isn't standing up for farmers and ranchers, he's selling them out with his incoherent trade war. His failed trade policy has punished our producers and threatened America's global leadership in agriculture.
That's why I'm joining my colleagues to urge FEMA to deliver the federal resources communities need to respond to and prevent devastating wildfires. Any delay in resources leaves us exposed, not just to the fires burning today, but to disasters ahead.
Colorado communities have watched wildfires grow faster and more destructive, and we know communities across the nation are facing that same threat.
It's time for Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to confront this disparity and end wage discrimination.
Equal pay for equal work shouldn't be a radical idea, but today Black women earn just 65 cents for every dollar paid to their white male counterparts. That pay gap follows women through their entire careers, and the lost income means a lack of financial security for their families too.
This week, I joined my colleagues in demanding accountability from DHS, calling for transparent investigations, and holding DHS to account for its failure to deploy body cameras. We cannot let this violence become normal.
Fatal shootings at the hands of DHS and ICE are inexcusable. Instead of making communities more safe, they have deepened fear in our communities and eroded trust in law enforcement.
Today, we remember the 12 innocent lives taken in a senseless act of gun violence at a movie theater in Aurora.
As we honor their memory, we must keep fighting for an America that no longer tolerates inaction.

Families across our state depend on this funding for child care, groceries and other basic necessities. To deny this kind of support was morally reprehensible, and I'll keep fighting so Colorado families get what they were promised.
After I led the Colorado delegation to demand its release, Colorado is finally getting the $300 million in social services funding the Trump Administration wrongfully withheld.
My thoughts are with the victim of last night's shooting and I hope they have a speedy recovery.
It is unacceptable that an ICE contractor shot a protester in Aurora last night. This incident demands a full accounting. It is also another reminder that ICE needs an overhaul and a change in leadership from the top down. We cannot allow this violence to become the new normal.
Colorado is the gold-standard for election security and voter trust. I will do everything in my power to preserve that, no matter what lie Donald Trump says next.
His obsession with conspiracy theories and false claims — which he has forced his nominees to repeat in confirmation hearings — is only being used to justify one thing: the SAVE America Act, a bill so unpopular his own party refuses to pass it.
