The Colorado River is running dry. The megadrought in the West is getting worse and worse.
This is a climate emergency.

It’s been 10 years since 49 innocent lives were taken from us in the Pulse Nightclub shooting that targeted members of the LGBTQ+ community.
We hold the victims and their loved ones in our hearts today as we continue to fight for an America free from the terrors of gun violence.
We helped stop Trump's DOJ slush fund for Tina Peters and January 6th rioters.
Now the courts are keeping it frozen.
Election criminals should never receive a taxpayer-funded payout. Period.
Americans are tired of the whiplash. We need to end the chaos and end this illegal war NOW!
The three pillars of Trump’s economic agenda:
→ Bragging about a higher trade deficit
→ Showing ZERO care for Americans' pocketbooks
→ Celebrating inflation
DOGE’s painful legacy is coming into view and it’s as ugly as one of these worms. The Trump admin needs to get this screwworm issue under control before it hurts more of our farmers.
Trump’s economy: 4.2% inflation and working families squeezed on gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing.
The priorities are backwards. End this illegal war and let’s focus on making life affordable.

An overwhelming majority of Americans agree: we must cap insulin costs.
My INSULIN Act would do just that.
Proud to add 6 new, bipartisan supporters to this bill. With 24 Senators signed onto this legislation and counting, momentum continues to build.
Let's get it done.
The bare minimum requirement for an attorney general is to respect the constitution and the rule of law above all.
Todd Blanche doesn’t even meet those basic requirements. He shouldn’t be the next leader of the DOJ.
Transparency, justice, and accountability. All things we’re demanding from ICE here in Colorado.
8 times we've voted to end Trump's illegal war in Iran.
38 times Trump lied that a deal was imminent.
$100 billion later, costs skyrocketing, and we're all still waiting.
The war needs to end NOW.

Republicans have already taken $1 trillion out of our healthcare system. They won’t stop until they dismantle it even further and take social security down with it.
Americans pay for these programs. They should NEVER be cut just to line the pockets of Trump and the ultra-wealthy.

She has complications from long COVID and is in heart failure. He has cancer, and they can only afford to treat one. In the richest country in the world, no one should ever have to choose between their own survival and their spouse’s.
Thanks to Senator John Hickenlooper for the video.
Nearly 70,000 Coloradans rely on insulin to stay alive.
No one should have to choose between paying rent and paying for life-saving medication. We took the first step in capping insulin costs at $35/month with our Inflation Reduction Act. Now, it’s time to do it for EVERYONE.
Ask any Colorado farmer what's keeping them up at night: costs and water.
Trump's tariffs and war are driving up costs, while his delays on Colorado River drought funding are making an already serious water crisis even worse.
It’s why we should be making it EASIER, not harder, for folks to start a new business. That means getting rid of reckless tariffs and red tape and making it easier to obtain capital.
(2/2)
When we first envisioned the Wynkoop, I was a laid-off geologist who didn’t know the first thing about starting a business. But through a lot of grit and determination, we were able to get it off the ground.
(1/2)
Trump is completely unhinged.
He promised to lower costs. Instead, his tariffs, health care cuts, and war with Iran have sent prices soaring.
While Americans struggle to pay their bills, he's focused on settling scores and chasing crazy conspiracy theories.
Enough is enough.
