U.S. Senator for Colorado
Colorado athletes dominate winter sports.

In Milan Cortina, Colorado has more Olympic athletes competing than any other state. From Steamboat Springs to Durango, Coloradans are representing our state on the world stage.

Colorado, let's bring home the gold!

Amid Putin’s intransigence in negotiations and daily attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian people remind us every day what it looks like to fight and die for democracy, for their country, and for the West.

With the Olympics underway, I am looking forward to cheering on Team USA, and I applaud these athletes' commitment to excellence, team spirit, and fair competition.
Colorado is sending more athletes to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics than any other state

The President of the United States posted an abhorrent, racist video on social media — and he’s refusing to apologize or admit it was wrong.

It’s a disgrace and it’s well below the Office of the President.

Today, I conducted an oversight visit of the Aurora ICE detention facility.

Now more than ever, we need more oversight—not less.

I won’t stop fighting for access, transparency, and accountability at every level of our immigration system.

President Trump wants to end basic job protections for 50,000 federal workers, punishing dedicated civil servants on a whim.

Forcing federal workers to appease this administration or get fired undermines their ability to do their jobs serving the public interest.
Exclusive | Trump Administration to Make It Easier to Fire 50,000 Federal Workers
A rule issued on Thursday would create a government-employee category that offers fewer job protections.

In January, I hiked to an overview of the proposed Berlaimont Estates luxury housing development and heard from local leaders about their concerns.

Just before Trump took office, a senior UAE official secretly bought a $500 million stake in Trump's crypto venture – channeling millions to Trump family accounts. Later, the White House approved the sale of America's most advanced AI chips to the UAE, despite serious national security concerns.
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

Black History Month is not just about honoring the endurance and resilience of Black Americans in the fight for racial justice and equality — it’s about celebrating the innovative vision, creativity, and ingenuity that have shaped what makes Colorado and this nation great.

By joining the unprecedented FBI raid on the Fulton County, Georgia elections office, DNI Gabbard has chosen to pursue baseless conspiracy theories over her sworn duty to warn Americans about real and ongoing foreign threats to our elections.

Yesterday, I went to the Senate Floor to condemn the actions of Noem's DHS:
January 30, 2026 at 6:49 PM
As I have said repeatedly, the American people must be assured that ICE is subject to the same, common-sense practices we expect from well-functioning local law enforcement:
January 30, 2026 at 2:57 AM
We must act now. I'm working on legislation to end lawless enforcement, protect children and families, and demand accountability. LEARN MORE ⬇️

Tomorrow, Republicans are bringing to the floor an appropriations package that includes funding for DHS and ICE.

I'm voting NO.

President Trump's rapid approval of winter storm disaster aid proves what's possible with political will.

While Colorado is still reeling from the Lee and Elk wildfires and historic Southwest flooding, Trump has yet to approve disaster aid for our communities.

President Trump's VA has imposed a near-total abortion ban – denying care to rape and incest survivors, even in states where abortion is legal.

Coloradans Susan and Michael Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti who was shot and killed in Minnesota, are urging us to get the truth out about their son.

My mother was born a Jew in Warsaw one year before the Nazi invasion of Poland. My mother and her parents escaped the Holocaust, but lost nearly everyone else in their family.

I am horrified to hear ICE murdered another person in Minneapolis this morning. This violence is wreaking havoc on our communities and it must stop. The President needs to remove these federal agents from our cities now.

Kristi Noem must resign and the dehumanizing policies must end immediately.
January 24, 2026 at 6:25 PM
From Colorado to Minnesota, ICE is detaining children, separating families, and patrolling American cities.

I refuse to bankroll Kristi Noem's cruel agenda. That's why I'm voting NO on the DHS funding bill. (1/2)

Today marks 53 years since #RoeVWade was enshrined in our constitution as a pillar of autonomy and freedom.

Trump has spent his first year back in office making life more expensive for Coloradans.

He has hiked health insurance costs, driven up energy prices, and cut taxes for the wealthiest—all while his tariffs add thousands in annual costs for working families.
January 21, 2026 at 12:57 AM
Earlier this month, President Trump froze over $300 million in vital support for Colorado families based on unsubstantiated claims of fraud.

I led a bipartisan effort among members of Colorado's delegation to demand immediate answers from this administration.

Today we honor MLK Jr. as a leader who challenged America to live up to its highest ideals.

As hate surges and civil liberties are systematically eroded across the nation, we are falling short of his vision of justice.
