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.

Since 2008, the @AnheuserBusch brewery in Fort Collins has canned fresh water for disaster-struck communities across the country – reaching over 100 million cans of water this year. Thank you for the warm welcome and chance to discuss how we can best support Colorado’s breweries

Earlier this week, I urged USDA to support Colorado’s livestock producers affected by this summer’s fires. I am grateful to see yesterday’s announcement offering assistance to agricultural producers in Colorado. While not every tool we asked for was included, this is an.

Six years ago, @US_SpaceCom, the 11th combatant command, was established to advance U.S. interests in space. Colorado proudly hosts Space Command, to which our military community and civilians contribute every day. Our national security is stronger as a result.

Putin continues to reject peace. Last night’s aerial attack, striking innocent civilians, as well as the EU delegation and British Council buildings in Kyiv, makes that clear. The U.S. and our allies must remain steadfast in supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and security. Half.

I’m devastated to hear about the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School this morning. My thoughts are with the victims and everyone affected by this senseless act. Parents and their children shouldn’t have to live in fear of being killed in school or church.

Families in Colorado and across the country rely on the HUD Denver Regional Office for critical housing support. That’s why I led my colleagues to demand answers from @HUDgov on the office's lease termination & its impacts on the agency’s vital housing programs.

As wildfires destroy pastures and harm livestock across Colorado, we must use every tool at hand to support our livestock producers. That's why I called on the @USDA to act quickly and help our producers recover from this summer’s devastating fires.

Today, we celebrate 105 years since the 19th Amendment was adopted, protecting women's right to vote in the U.S. This Women's Equality Day is a reminder of the countless women whose bravery & persistence made this milestone possible. We must keep fighting to achieve true.

For 109 years, the @NatlParkService has protected our most treasured public lands for future generations to inherit & enjoy. Their work preserving Colorado’s national parks, from Mesa Verde to Rocky Mountain, is vital to who we are in Colorado. Happy 109th Birthday.

The IRS Direct File program made filing taxes easier, faster, and cheaper for working families before President Trump discontinued it. I’m encouraging everyone to take the Direct File survey before Sept. 2nd and help make the program available again ⬇️.

A vibrant outdoor recreation industry is essential to Colorado’s economy & a bedrock for many of our rural communities. I will keep pushing back as Trump’s cuts threaten how we track and grow Colorado's outdoor rec economy – responsible for $37B in spending each year & over 500K.

It was inspiring to hear from @Canon_City_HS students about how their career pathways program is helping them plan for the future and earn a living wage after graduation. Thank you to Fremont County’s leaders for your hard work supporting this program and our students.

It was great to join @RepJasonCrow at last night’s Aurora Town Hall and hear directly from Coloradans on issues from protecting our public lands to regulating AI & preserving our democracy. Together, we can make Colorado a leader for the country in addressing these challenges.

From taking constituent calls to helping with legislative priorities, I can safely say my offices would not function without our interns. I was glad to meet with our incredible Denver summer interns this week and thank them for their hard work on behalf of Colorado.

The Trump administration's decision to rescind guidance requiring schools to accommodate English learners is a blatant attempt to make education less accessible. This administration's continued attacks on English learners fly in the face of our country's values.
