Ballrooms.
Arches.
UFC fights on the White House lawn.
Reflecting pool makeovers.
These are Trump’s priorities.
Not healthcare.
Not housing.
Not gas prices.
Not groceries.

The Senate has voted seven times on a War Powers Resolution.
Seven times, Republicans have blocked it.
Meanwhile, Americans are paying more for just about everything.
We need to end this illegal war.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, as an American this is heartbreaking. We have a cost-of-living emergency in this country, and we need to do more. We need universal healthcare NOW!
I was proud to host Caroline at the State of the Union this year to highlight the cruelty of Trump's immigration crackdown. Read more about her powerful story and watch our conversation here: www.hickenlooper.senate.gov/press_releas...
But it shouldn’t fall on her. Republicans need to join us in reining in ICE’s lawlessness and fixing our broken immigration system now.
A year ago, 20-year-old Dreamer Caroline Dias Goncalves was wrongfully detained by ICE after a traffic stop in Colorado. Today, she helped secure a major legal victory requiring ICE to retrain agents and curb unlawful arrests in Colorado. Caroline’s courage helped hold ICE accountable.
Our healthcare system is broken and Americans like Catherine are struggling to get by. We need affordable, accessible, and universal healthcare NOW.
Trump’s economy is getting less and less affordable.
Working families are in a cost-of-living emergency, and his illegal and unwanted war is driving up costs.
For the first time in three years, Americans' wages are no longer outpacing inflation, further compounding affordability concerns. https://cnn.it/3R39Zbe
They tried to sell off public lands last year, and now they're back, stripping protections and betting we won't push back.
They’re wrong. Out West, stewardship is a way of life. We'll fight tooth and nail to protect it.
(2/2)
This rollback is a blatant attack against the long-term health of our public lands. It is a slap in the face of participatory democracy!
The West is drying up before us, and the Trump administration wants to undo these protections anyway. (1/2)

MAGA’s One Big Ugly Betrayal Bill left 15 million Americans at-risk of losing their health care, including 250K Coloradans. It’s unacceptable.
When we sat down for a roundtable last month with Healthier Colorado, we heard about the on-the-ground reality for health care providers and patients.
Trump’s immigration agenda is not about doing what’s best for Americans.
It’s actively hurting your safety and disregarding the rule of law.

Heard firsthand from Ale, the President and CEO of Hispanic Contractors of Colorado, about how Trump’s illegal war and tariffs are raising the price to do business.

Meet TJ, a Coloradan we spoke with this week at Denver Health. He shared with us how he’s navigating disastrous health care cuts in the midst of his own health journey.

Got the chance to chat with Kareem, a rideshare driver in Denver who is struggling to pay for the gas hike from Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
Happy Mother’s Day! Today is all about the loving, caring, and wonderful moms out there.
Your sacrifices and efforts don’t go unseen! 💐
No matter how hard MAGA tries to ignore you, your story is powerful.
After they cut health care from 15M Americans, we need to meet the moment and give working people what they deserve: affordable, accessible, and universal health care.
