I’m glad to see the Senate, once again, shut down Mike Lee’s insane ideas for our public lands. It’s time for the House to do the same. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Plan was created through years of work, public comment, and Tribal consultation. We must uphold
Mike Lee’s fast-track attempt to scrap this national monument’s management plan has failed

Ten years ago, 49 innocent lives were stolen at Pulse Nightclub in a deliberate act of hate against the LGBTQ+ community. Colorado is no stranger to this kind of targeted violence. We will never stop fighting to ensure every member of the LGBTQ+ community feels safe — and to

The Trump Administration hasn't provided any guarantee that their corrupt slush fund is dead — and now it looks like they're searching for new pathways to ensure MAGA loyalists and election deniers like Tina Peters still have a shot at taxpayer dollars. This corrupt deal never

Trump's "Anti-Weaponization Fund" may have been used to compensate January 6 defendants and election deniers — including Colorado's own Tina Peters. He claims it's shut down, but he also said he wasn't sure if it was gone forever. So @SenatorBennet, @SenatorHick, and I are

Since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, Colorado has proudly stood as a safe haven for reproductive freedom. I'm proud to join my colleagues to protect women traveling for reproductive healthcare and safeguard doctors from anti-choice attacks. I won’t stop fighting

Tina Peters went to prison for compromising election equipment and now she's branding herself a "champion of election integrity." She's learned nothing — and I’m fighting to make sure she never sees a taxpayer-funded payout.

NEW: Election denier Tina Peters — who was convicted for her role in a 2021 voting system breach — accused Democrats of stealing elections and falsely claimed voting machines are being used to change election outcomes. The comments come less than two weeks after her release from

Because of Trump's reckless war with Iran, inflation has hit a three-year high of 4.2%. Gas prices are up. Grocery bills are up. Families are struggling to put food on the table. And the President says he's "loving it."

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Coloradans deserve to know why Trump is stealing $90 million from our national parks and blowing it on firework shows and fountains. Robbing parks to pay for Trump's pet projects puts our iconic public lands at risk.

I'm joining my colleagues to demand the Trump administration release funds to reimburse legal service providers for unaccompanied children. These critical providers protect kids from trafficking and exploitation –– and give them a voice in their own immigration proceedings.

The President's former personal lawyer has no business serving as Attorney General. There is every reason to believe Todd Blanche will continue to undermine the rule of law and the independence of the Justice Department. He's already proven he's nothing more than a rubber stamp

Another election, another stolen-election conspiracy from Trump. I'll keep calling out these lies and standing with Colorado voters, election officials, and the rule of law.

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her." "I traveled

More than 100 days ago, Trump launched his reckless Iran war with no plan and no way out. Coloradans have since paid nearly $515M more at the pump. Russia is cashing in from high oil prices. China is gaining ground while our focus shifts away from Asia. All while American

This week, the House passed our bill to ensure the City of Ouray can repair the dam at Crystal Reservoir, restoring a critical water supply and maintaining public access to trails and the reservoir. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this critical legislation.

Glad to work with @RepJeffHurd to pass our bipartisan bill out of the House Natural Resources Committee. This legislation would allow the City of Ouray to repair the dam at Crystal Reservoir and restore a critical water supply, while keeping the land public for current residents
