About to speak on the Senate floor about the health care crisis for working families while Trump is galavanting around Asia and sending $40 billion to his far-right friends in Argentina. Tune in now:

Coloradans like CJ who work for small businesses get their insurance from the exchange. His family is receiving news that their premiums are going to DOUBLE and will be higher than their mortgage. We are the wealthiest country in the world. We can’t let this crisis continue for

🚨 ATTN. New Jersey: We can do SO much better than Mikie Sherrill. She voted against the child tax credit… She voted for tax hikes… She voted to give your money to illegals… Reject her on Nov. 4th.

🚨 This is a five-alarm fire for Colorado families. Republicans are about to let YOUR health care premiums DOUBLE.

From withholding SNAP funds to refusing to address sky-high health care costs, the Trump admin is using the shutdown to inflict pain on working families. It’s downright cruel.

The growing wildfire crisis won't wait, and neither can we. It's why we came together to write bipartisan legislation to protect our communities. @SenJohnCurtis

The White House puts Argentina first. Colorado ranchers, producers, and consumers suffer.

President Trump's plan to import beef from Argentina to lower U.S. beef prices is facing backlash from producers and politicians.

Every year, our office has the high honor of nominating Colorado’s best and brightest to attend one of our nation’s military academies. It was great to meet with some of the students yesterday in Denver and thank the staff assisting with the process.

Our bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act is a historic step to tackling the growing wildfire crisis. It’s also a blueprint of how Congress should run.

Across Colorado, families will face increased monthly premiums unless Republicans vote to extend ACA premium tax credits. Hear directly from Coloradans about how these cuts would affect them and their families in the latest edition of our Giddy Up-date Newsletter:

Mercedes has a baby in the NICU and her health care premiums are about to be over $1,000 a month. Trump's "main priority" is his $300M ballroom.

The last thing Colorado families need right now is to be kicked off their insurance or have their health care costs DOUBLE in price. This fight is about the lives of real Americans.

Trump betrays his promises to our ranchers and producers when he puts his friends in Argentina over hardworking Americans.
Many farmers support President Trump. But they have been crushed by the effects of his trade war with China. Now, they’re bewildered by his decision to buy beef from Argentina to bring down prices, which they see as antithetical to his campaign promises.

The health care we’re fighting for is life or death for Coloradans.

Over 600,000 people in Colorado rely on SNAP for their next meal. The White House is using kids and families as leverage instead of working with Democrats to solve the health care crisis and reopen the government.

For 22 hours, @SenJeffMerkley held the Senate floor to sound the alarm on the promises broken by the Trump administration. We’re proud to call him our colleague.

Tariffs are a tax that American small businesses (and our economy) can’t afford. We should be doing all we can to uplift our small businesses, not crush them.

If the ACA tax credits expire, the increases to health care costs will be dramatic for Colorado families and the suffering will be real. Congress should address the health care crisis AND reopen the government TODAY.

Colorado farmers and ranchers are already getting slammed by Trump’s tariff-taxes. Now, he wants to prioritize Argentina’s beef producers over our own. What happened to putting Americans first? Our ranchers deserve better.
