Republicans knew they needed Democratic votes to pass their spending bill. But, they refused to work with Democrats on a bipartisan deal to put American families first.

Canada is our largest trading partner. Mexico is our third-largest.
Starting a trade war with our closest allies and partners will raise costs for Colorado families already struggling to make ends meet.

I wish most lawmakers understood that the best way to communicate with young voters is not "speaking their language." Young voters don't want pandering. They want authentic strength on the issues important to them. You don't have to "speak Gen-Z." Just be yourself and show that you give a damn.

Here’s an idea:
If “waste, fraud and abuse” are actually being uncovered, could we see a couple examples that can be investigated and confirmed by an independent 3rd party?
Because I believe
DOGE is theater.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

DOGE’s access to classified data - including the sensitive personal information of Americans - is unprecedented and deeply concerning.
I joined my Senate Intel Committee colleagues to demand answers on this major threat to American privacy and national security.

It’s a huge threat to your privacy and national security to let unvetted DOGE bros paw through government payments and Americans’ bank account numbers.
I’m leading Intel Committee members to press directly on the White House about this absurd overreach.

So Elon Musk did a Nazi salute.
Then he tried to deflect.
Now he's gone to Germany to speak to the neo-Nazi AfD party, which he's endorsed, saying that Germany should let go of historical guilt -- which is a dog whistle for Holocaust denial.
So Elon Musk is, in fact, a Nazi.
