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.
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.
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. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
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.
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.
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. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...
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.
The role of HHS Secretary is life and death. Out of 330M Americans, we can do better than someone who has spent 50 years peddling false statements, misinformation, and bad science. I’m headed to the Senate floor to oppose RFK Jr.’s confirmation.
The Trump Administration’s efforts to allow ICE to take enforcement action in protected areas are deeply concerning and go against long-standing precedent. Every Coloradan should feel safe to go to school, church, and the doctor without fear of arrest.
