Now more than ever, we must stand up against hate and discrimination and recommit to building safer, more inclusive communities for transgender people.

Donald Trump is proving once again that he has absolutely NO respect for the Constitution or the rule of law.
This action is blatantly illegal and a major affront to our country’s democratic values.
Proposed cuts to Medicaid could affect 1.2 million Coloradans - including children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities. It will devastate families across the state and harm our rural health centers and hospitals. We cannot allow this to happen.
On behalf of Colorado, good luck to Aurora's Vedanth Raju, who will be representing our state at the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Congratulations on this incredible honor, Vedanth – we will be rooting for you!
Great news: the Sundance Film Festival is moving to Boulder! This annual film festival is the largest of its kind in the U.S. - I'm so glad it will be calling Colorado home.
Colorado and the West face increasingly severe natural disasters, including some of the most catastrophic wildfires on record in recent years.
This week, Senator John Curtis and I introduced two bills to cut red tape and help ensure our communities and watersheds can recover when disaster strikes.
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Brian Vogt. My family and I will cherish the legacy he left behind at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
In Colorado, women make just 76 cents for every dollar a man earns. It is unconscionable that a gender wage gap still exists. Congress must pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct to ensure equal pay for equal work. #EqualPayDay
It’s been four years since the King Soopers shooting in Boulder, when the lives of 10 Coloradans were cut tragically short. Today, I’m thinking of the victims of this senseless act of gun violence, their families, and the Boulder community as it continues to heal.
I was glad to hear from hundreds of Coloradans last night at my town hall in Colorado Springs. Our conversation covered everything from standing up for Ukraine to protecting public education. In case you missed it, you can watch the full recording on YouTube ⬇️

Parents are worried enough about the state of America's public education system. Reading scores have hit a twenty-year low, and chronic absenteeism is on the rise. We need to work together to reimagine our public schools for the 21st century, not bring a wrecking ball to them.

It was great to speak with Coloradans in Greeley last night about everything from Medicaid to protecting federal workers. I look forward to my town hall in Golden tonight, which starts at 6 PM MT.

It was great to see firsthand how Loveland-based nonprofit KidsPak is working to ensure kids in Northern Colorado don’t go hungry. I was glad to secure funding to advance their important work – we must continue to provide nutrition assistance at the federal level.
I’m looking forward to speaking with Coloradans SOON at my town hall in Greeley.
The event starts at 5:30 PM MT – if you didn’t register to attend in-person, you can tune in via our Facebook livestream ⬇️
Jeanette Vizguerra is a mother and pillar in her community. I am deeply concerned about ICE's actions to detain her without any due process, like a deportation order.
ICE should ensure Jeanette has legal counsel and immediately release her.
🚨REMINDER: I am hosting three in-person town halls this week to speak with constituents about issues that matter to them.
