Denver’s Ed Dwight, America's first Black astronaut candidate, is one of our country’s living legends.
I introduced a bipartisan bill to advocate for Ed to receive a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor bestowed by Congress.

One wonders how the Cold War would’ve turned out if Eisenhower, Reagan, and Bush were more concerned about people kissing their ring than our strategic position.
My full statement on President Trump’s meeting with President Zelensky⬇️
Colorado’s public lands do more than fuel our economy – they are a cornerstone of our way of life.
Senator Hickenlooper, Representative Neguse, and I reintroduced our CORE Act to boost our economy and protect hundreds of thousands of acres of Colorado public lands for future generations.
🚨Coloradans: Join me on Monday, March 3rd, at 5:30 PM MT for a telephone town hall.
Sign up and submit questions below⬇️
Coloradans: my new webpage is LIVE with helpful resources for federal workers.
As members of our federal civil service continue to confront chaos and confusion sown by President Trump, I am committed to using every tool at my disposal to protect them.
The U.S. is producing more energy now than at any point in our history – but Trump’s sham energy emergency will decrease domestic energy supplies, forcing us to be more reliant on foreign energy sources and sticking working families with the bill.
🚨Applications are now open to attend the 2025 Colorado Capital Conference.
Each year, this event is an opportunity for Coloradans to connect with our country’s leaders and share ideas to make our state stronger.
Apply by the March 21 deadline⬇️
I was glad to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron to the Senate this week.
The U.S.-France alliance has long been one of shared democratic values. We must continue working with France and our global allies to support Ukraine’s brave fight against Putin's aggression.
Generations of Americans who fought side-by-side with our European allies to establish the post-World War II international order would be shocked to see the U.S. casting its lot with autocracies like Russia, Belarus, and North Korea.
The U.S. must always stand for democracy, not with dictators.
For 3 years, the Ukrainian people have fought against Putin’s aggression, reminding us what it looks like to fight and die for democracy.
Our support for Ukraine must remain steadfast, for the sake of the Ukrainian people, U.S. national security, and democracy around the world.
Firing thousands of IRS employees during tax season is ridiculous.
This decision will only benefit ultra-wealthy tax cheats and comes at the direct expense of everyday Americans who pay their taxes on time.

Paying to reduce the risk of wildfires is cheaper than stopping them once they’ve started. The Protect the West Act will invest in Colorado’s public lands to reduce wildfire risk, restore our watersheds, and protect our communities.
I called up my amendment to reinstate the thousands of land management agency personnel fired by the Trump Administration. We need these dedicated public servants now more than ever.
President Trump and Republicans want working families to foot the bill for tax cuts for the wealthiest in America.
Their bill will strip working families of housing, health care, and food, WHILE saddling future generations with enormous debt.
This is an insult to the American people.
Trump blaming Ukraine for Putin’s unjustified and unprovoked invasion is a dangerous falsehood.
The Ukrainian people did not ask for this war. Putin thrust it upon them.
When Republicans threaten Medicaid, they are threatening the health care of 80 million Americans, including children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities. These proposals would be devastating for families in every corner of our country.
Elon Musk & DOGE are threatening our national security with their recklessness.
They are unqualified to handle classified information if it’s going to end up online and put American lives and billions of dollars in critical national security investments at risk.

As an abolitionist, civil rights activist, newspaper publisher, and statesman, Frederick Douglass dedicated his life to equality for all people. During #BlackHistoryMonth and always, we honor him and his historic work.
Today marks seven years since a gunman took the lives of 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
On this solemn anniversary, I’m thinking of the victims of this unimaginable tragedy, their families, and the entire Parkland community.
You want to talk about fraud, waste, and abuse? Well, here you have it.
The American public didn't vote for Donald Trump so he could hand over billions in taxpayer dollars to his biggest donor.
This is corruption of the highest order.
