In the richest country in the world, child poverty is a moral obscenity. The expanded #ChildTaxCredit would change the lives of millions of American children for the better. Today, Democrats demonstrated that we are fighting for families in every corner of our country.

Colorado is already facing a physician shortage in rural parts of the state – yet Republicans just made it harder for students to enter the health care workforce. This short-sighted decision will exacerbate physician shortages in Colorado hospitals, putting lives at risk and.

Today is Black Women's Equal Pay Day, a reminder that Black women are paid just 64 cents for every dollar paid to their white male counterparts. It is unconscionable that this pay gap still exists. Congress must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and fight for policies that ensure.

Worsening weather, including historic drought and flooding, is threatening Colorado's landscapes and farmland. That's why @SenJoniErnst and I introduced the bipartisan Restoring America’s Floodplains Act to give @USDA the tools it needs to work with farmers and landowners to.

157 years ago today, the 14th Amendment was ratified, enshrining Americans' rights to equal protection under the law, due process, and birthright citizenship. As the Trump Administration tries to erode these fundamental rights, I'll keep fighting back.

I have always said that the U.S. must put more pressure on Putin to end his unjustified war on Ukraine by imposing greater sanctions on Moscow. I am glad that the President and Republican Congressional leaders have belatedly recognized the need for these sanctions. The Senate.

Thank you to the brave men and women, and rescue dogs, of Colorado Task Force 1 for stepping up and coming to the aid of the victims in Texas. Natural disasters do not stop along state or community lines, and neither should our duty to our fellow Americans.

John Stulp was a Coloradan through and through. He understood rural Colorado better than most who had ever worked in our state capitol, and he knew that we are all connected, particularly through water. Those of us who have ever had a tour of SE Colorado from John Stulp will.

The Trump administration's cruel decision to withhold $70M in federal funding allocated to Colorado's schools is unacceptable. Delaying these funds will be devastating for students across our state and make it harder for Colorado's school districts to plan ahead. That's why I.

I am glad to see President Trump reverse the Pentagon's reckless decision to withhold crucial military aid from Ukraine. @SecDef and @USDPColby's incompetent decision - seemingly made without the White House's knowledge and motivated by exaggerated claims of endangered U.S.

Republicans campaigned on the promise of balancing the budget and reducing our deficit. On July 4, they passed a bill that will add trillions to our national debt. For too long, Republicans have promised one thing and done another. The American people will pay the price.

It's great to hear that @UFCW_7 union members in Colorado reached tentative agreements with Safeway/Albertsons and King Soopers this weekend. Congratulations to the UFCW Local 7 Bargaining Committee – I am grateful for their hard work in this fight, especially over a holiday.

Happy Park and Recreation Month, Colorado! This month and every month, I am grateful to the more than 160,000 full-time park and recreation employees working to maintain the lands we love. Colorado's parks are a treasured part of our way of life and outdoor recreation economy.

Happy Fourth of July, Colorado! . Today is an opportunity to reflect on the countless sacrifices that make our freedom and way of life possible. Independence Day reminds us that we all have a role in future of our democracy and our founders’ promise of a nation free from.

Republicans claim that they are eliminating fraud and abuse by gutting Medicaid. In reality, the Republican Budget Bill would leave nearly 20% of Coloradans on Medicaid without access to basic health care, while adding trillions to the national debt. Senate Republicans voted.

Republicans and Democrats agree: pausing arms shipments to Ukraine is a bad idea. We must support Ukraine while investing in our defense capabilities – efforts that will deter Putin, Xi, and other dictators from testing our resolve with further aggression. The last thing we.

After more than two days, Republicans have passed their destructive Budget Bill and voted once again to leave middle and working class families behind. Instead of addressing the challenges facing working families, this bill takes a massive step in the wrong direction. It.

ICYMI: I spoke on the Senate floor in the dead of the night to slam President Trump's "Pay for Themselves" tax cuts. This 940-page so-called Big Beautiful Bill is full of bad policy that will hurt Coloradans. I will vote NO.

BREAKING: I just introduced an amendment to the Republican Budget Bill to expand the Child Tax Credit (CTC). When we expanded CTC in 2021, childhood poverty was slashed in half. It’s the best investment that we have made in children and working families in generations. As a

Susan and I are devastated to hear of Karen's passing. She was a beloved member of the Boulder community and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with Karen's family as they mourn this incredible loss. May her memory be a blessing.

Nearly 20% of Coloradans who rely on Medicaid could lose health care coverage due to the Republican Budget Bill. I urge my Republican colleagues to put American lives over their desire to please President Trump.
