In the richest country in the world, child poverty is a moral obscenity. The expanded #ChildTaxCredit would change the lives of millions of American children for the better. Today, Democrats demonstrated that we are fighting for families in every corner of our country.
Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govApr 9(source)
Today, I’m introducing legislation to permanently expand the #ChildTaxCredit to put kids first and help millions of working families make ends meet. Tune in to our LIVE press conference on my Facebook or YouTube pages at 12:30 PM ET/10:30 AM MT!

Ukrainians of Colorado stopped by my office today to discuss the importance of U.S. support as the Ukrainian people continue their brave fight against Putin’s aggression. We must not allow President Trump to weaken Ukraine's negotiating position when there is so much at stake.

I met with Denver East High School’s 'We the People' team to congratulate them on their recent win in the Colorado competition and hear what's on the minds of our state's bright young leaders. I’ll be rooting for this team as they compete in the national finals this week!

Everywhere I go in Colorado, people tell me about the lack of affordable housing. It was great to sit down with Colorado Neighborworks members on Capitol Hill to discuss how they’re working with their communities to meet these challenges and hear what I can do to help.

Laura Loomer, a 9/11 truther, has no place anywhere near the White House. It is clear that Susie Wiles has lost control - the inmates are running the asylum.

Forest Service employees protect our headwaters, safeguard our communities from wildfires, and ensure Coloradans’ access to our public lands. The Trump Administration’s plans to downsize this agency disregard Colorado’s way of life and threaten the safety of our communities.
POLITICO Pro: Trump administration plans sharp cuts at the US Forest Service
The planned consolidation could further strain the agency’s ability to manage the 193 million acres of land under its watch.

#MonthoftheMilitaryChild is an opportunity to highlight the important role and unique experiences of the nearly 2M military children across the country, including over 46K here in Colorado. This month and always, I’m grateful for the commitment and sacrifices of all military families.

Trump’s tariffs will cost American families $3,800 a year on average – the largest middle-class tax increase in a generation. While this administration makes it harder and harder for working families to get by, President Trump “couldn’t care less.”
Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govApr 2(source)
President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs will sow chaos and uncertainty – and working Americans will bear the cost. These shortsighted trade policies will harm hardworking Colorado families struggling to make ends meet. I will use every tool at my disposal to fight against this.

Senator Murkowski and I pressed the Trump administration to address the recent decision to rescind critical protections for unaccompanied migrant children. I won’t stop pushing to ensure immigration proceedings for innocent children remain fair, efficient & protective against trafficking.

President Trump’s mass HHS layoffs include employees who: ✅Oversee food and drug safety ✅Track bird flu ✅Administer health insurance programs for nearly half the country If this administration is trying to make America healthier, they are doing a terrible job.
Layoffs begin at US health agencies responsible for research, tracking disease and regulating food
Employees across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have begun receiving notices of dismissal in a major overhaul expected to ultimately lay off up to 10,000 people.
