Trump’s reckless tariffs are crushing small businesses when we should be doing all we can to lift them up.
We met with small business leaders in Denver to discuss the impacts rising costs are having on their businesses and hear more about how we can help.

After weeks of holding up the funding package to push back against Trump’s attacks on Colorado, we held the Senate floor yesterday to demand a vote on our amendment to fully fund NCAR.
Republicans blocked it. But our fight against the administration’s attacks on science isn’t over.

Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse!
Rebranding the Department of Defense to the Department of War, as per President Donald Trump’s September executive order, could cost up to $125 million, the Congressional Budget Office said in an estimate. https://cnn.it/4qnYuYF

Congress has the constitutional responsibility to decide when America goes to war.
Americans are struggling to afford groceries and health care here at home under President Trump. They don’t want him throwing us into another forever war to enrich oil executives.

Women deserve the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions. Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved medication.
We’ll always fight for mifepristone to remain legal and accessible so women can get the care they need.

Soaring health care costs are squeezing millions of families. Affordable health care should be a top priority for Congress.
Yet, Republicans just blocked a clean, three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that already passed the House in a bipartisan vote.

This was already struck down by a federal court last month. Directly after, we visited the Aurora ICE facility to ensure they were following the order. Now, Sec. Noem has found a loophole. We’ve fought this before, we’ll fight this again. Congressional oversight is constitutionally required.
NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

People across the West cherish our public lands. For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of our forests. In the face of Trump’s efforts to repeal this rule and sell our public lands, we’ll always keep fighting to protect these lands for future generations.

President Trump continues to use the federal government as an arsenal to deploy against political adversaries. He doesn’t care that his actions will disrupt our economy and hurt working families. Americans want lower prices, not score settling.

Americans are struggling with the soaring cost of housing, health care, and groceries in Trump’s economy. The mere talk of invading Greenland betrays American values, threatens NATO, and exposes this administration’s failure to put working people first.

ICE is out of control. Separating families. Shooting Americans in cold blood. Profiling folks based on the color of their skin or the language they speak.
We need accountability for ICE. We need it now.

The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that Republicans voted to cut just last summer. It’s the critical next step in making sure all Americans have access to affordable, accessible, and universal health care. The Senate needs to vote on this ASAP.
Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
House passes bill extending health care subsidies, bucking GOP leaders
Prospects for passage in the Senate are unclear. The enhanced subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving costs up for millions.

This is D.C. at its worst. Every single U.S. House member supported this bill to bring clean water to Southeastern CO before Christmas — Democrats & Republicans. But they refused to stick to their guns & override Trump’s retaliatory veto. Rural Colorado is paying the price for these political games.
NEW: House Republicans uphold President Trump’s veto of a clean drinking water project in Colorado. The bill passed Congress unanimously last year. Two-thirds were needed for an override. Trump has promised “harsh measures” against Colorado over false election rigging claims.

The House will vote today on overriding President Trump’s veto of our bipartisan, unanimous Arkansas Valley Conduit bill.
Rural water projects shouldn’t be used as political weapons. Congress must stand up to Trump’s intimidation and override this veto.
