Our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act makes hospitals and insurers publish their prices and back it up. No more empty threats from health care giants. If we're serious about getting universal coverage and lowering costs, we have to start by following the money.

Stopping gun violence. Protecting our communities. Should be common sense. Yet, the Trump admin is unleashing secret police who shoot and kill people in the streets. This election we have a chance to elect folks who will fight for real gun safety laws and stop ICE. All of our lives depend on it.
Griswold and Hickenlooper vow action on gun violence ahead of Colorado November vote - Sentinel Colorado
“As AG, I’m going to stand up to them. I’ve been taking on MAGA and Trump for the last seven years and I’m just getting started,” Griswold said.

Children should not be going hungry in the richest nation on earth. It doesn’t have to be this way.
We’ll vote NO on Todd Blanche to lead the DOJ. Americans deserve an independent AG who respects the rule of law, not someone who refuses to stand up to Donald Trump.

Gun violence is an epidemic we can end. We need to build on Colorado’s leadership to keep guns out of dangerous hands, invest in our communities, and keep people safe.
Add it to the list of ways that Trump is bankrupting Americans while wasting money on vanity projects and handouts for the elite few. Just a few days ago he cut a Medicare program that lowers prices for seniors and poured millions into his latest shiny distraction.
DC statues restored with gold in $5 million Trump government project
D.C.’s historic Arts of War and Arts of Peace statues were regilded in a Trump administration project costing over $5 million.

Trump’s attacks on mail-in voting are a direct threat to your right to vote. End of story.
We live in the wealthiest country in the world. Yet Republicans chose to gut health care to give tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy few and leave millions of Americans behind.
Uninsured Patients Rise Sharply, Hospitals Report, Citing Obamacare Cuts

We’ll say it again: criminals like Tina Peters and January 6th insurrections do not deserve a dime of YOUR taxpayer money. Trump is trying every which way to resurrect his corrupt slush fund. We’ll keep fighting it until it’s done for good.
President Trump said that he would “push hard” to enact legislation that would offer payouts to people “badly treated” by the Obama and Biden administrations, his latest threat to resurrect the controversial fund.
With wildfires still burning across Colorado, we can’t wait months to learn lessons that could help save lives now. We’re calling for a complete and timely investigation of the Knowles Fire that killed four firefighters and injured one other.

Seniors deserve to be able to afford life-saving medication. It’s a disgrace that the president is killing the very program we helped create to lower costs for seniors.
Trump Will End Subsidies for Medicare Drug Premiums
Millions of older Americans could pay more for their prescription drug coverage next year.

Trump’s secret police force is still terrorizing our communities. They’re opening up a facility nobody’s asked for in Hudson. They’re still patrolling streets, wearing masks, and arresting folks without judicial warrants. We’ll keep fighting until they get a complete overhaul or they’re shut down.
Trump and Republicans are undermining our free and fair elections with the SAVE Act and threats of sending ICE agents to the polls. Unacceptable. No SAVE Act. No ICE.
Vote-by-mail is safe, reliable and secure. No amount of fear mongering changes that. Don’t let the president scare you from your right to vote.
We’re now five months into the president’s war of choice with no end in sight. We’ve voted 13 times to end it. Senate Republicans have blocked us every time.
Farmers, families, and local economies are all taking a hit from the worsening drought and wildfires that climate change is making worse. Our communities are resilient, our small businesses are still open. We’ll keep fighting to support them and address the worsening drought and wildfires.

Holding corporations accountable to bring down housing costs. Demanding transparency to lower health care costs. We’ll keep fighting to make life more affordable for Colorado families.
Over and over, Congress has forced votes to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Americans DO NOT WANT this deadly conflict. It’s simple: to lower costs and protect lives, this war needs to end. NOW.
Donald Trump is trying to end universal mail-in voting and take away your right to vote. We won’t let him.
Trump has made billions of dollars from being president. He's turned the White House into his personal piggy bank.
Trump and his cronies keep peddling election conspiracies to threaten our voting system. We won’t let them rig our election so they can hide from their disastrous policies. We introduced bills to prevent military interference in elections and to keep ballots secure from foreign interference.
The Trump administration is tearing down our Inflation Reduction Act — even if it means sticking seniors with the bill. Ending Medicare Part D subsidies means higher prescription costs and increased premiums for tens of millions of seniors.
Trump administration to end Medicare Part D subsidy program in 2027
The prescription drug benefit is used by millions of seniors.

Coloradans are struggling to keep up with the skyrocketing prices of rent or buying a home. Our 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is one big step closer to making housing more attainable.
Why Colorado is poised to lead the federal real estate pivot
Colorado’s struggles to improve housing affordability inform many of the federal housing reforms, which should leave the state in a better spot to “connect the dots” and implement the changes coming.

With too many feeling squeezed by rising health care prices, capping insulin prices at $35 a month is a step we can take right now to deliver real financial relief. My INSULIN act would do just that. I was proud to see it advance out of the HELP Committee last week. Now let’s make it law!
President Trump promised to lower costs and put America first. @benraylujan.bsky.social and I know he’s not really doing that, is he?
Denying asylum seekers a fair hearing betrays both due process and America's tradition of welcoming the stranger. We must keep fighting for an immigration system that is humane, just, and worthy of our values. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Asylum seekers could be sent directly to deportation court under new rule
The Trump administration rule, which took effect immediately, could transfer nearly 450,000 cases to immigration judges, who could dismiss the asylum petitions.
