No affordable housing for you. But Trump gets a brand-new $5 million helipad. Not one nickel of your taxpayer dollars should go toward Trump’s vanity projects while working families can’t afford the basics.

Exclusive: President Trump has directed contractors to redo weeks of work on his planned White House helipad, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Trump has made the helipad a priority, but was dissatisfied with the results. https://wapo.st/4q0714z

Wildfires are raging across the West and climate change is adding fuel to the fire. We’re thankful for our first responders battling these fires and we’re committed to fighting for the resources they need.

Seniors shouldn’t have to skip or ration their medication. EVER!

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.

This drought is hurting Coloradans all around the state. Farmers are fallowing their fields. Families are cutting back on water use. Outdoor rec is hurting. To address our water future, we need more funding for projects battling this drought. www.denverpost.com/2026/08/02/c...

How severe drought is affecting Colorado, from record fishing restrictions to threatened power supplies

At a meeting of water managers, the head of Colorado’s Division of Water Resources compared the state to Mordor — the barren, ash-covered domain of the villain in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

We have a few ideas: Stop looking for creative ways to continue this illegal war. End the war. Bring down costs. Focus on Americans here at home.

We aren’t letting our guard down. We’ll keep up the fight to make sure election deniers and criminals can’t get a ridiculous taxpayer-funded bailout.

BREAKING: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issues order terminating U.S. President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' to compensate supporters after weeks of negotiations with two GOP senators who were blocking his nomination.

A good life starts with a good home. Housing shouldn’t be out of reach for working Americans. We’re in Loveland to talk about how our housing bill prevents Wall Street from dominating the housing market AND cuts red tape so we can build more homes NOW.

As governor of Colorado, we created the gold-standard mail-in voting system in the country. Now, red states and blue states alike use it because it’s safe and secure.  Trump is attacking mail-in voting and is obsessed with the SAVE America Act because he wants to make it harder for YOU to vote.

We owe it to the families of the firefighters who lost their lives battling wildfires to conduct an investigation and get answers.  With wildfires still raging across Colorado, we can't afford to wait months to learn lessons that could save lives right now. www.cpr.org/2026/07/30/f...

Happy 150th birthday to Colorado, the BEST state in America!!

Every day the Iran war drags on, Americans pay the price. Donald Trump has little incentive to end it when his billionaire friends keep getting richer while working people struggle to fill their tanks and pay for the basics.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 6d ago

Soaring prices for oil and gas, triggered by the war in Iran, are driving a surge in corporate profits for multinational energy companies, with Shell reporting a $9.8 billion windfall between April and June.

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.

It’s simple. Patients deserve price tags. Let’s pass our bill and bring transparency to healthcare.

We fought tooth and nail to create a program to lower drug costs for seniors, and now Trump is killing it. It's cruel and just plain wrong. Our seniors should be able to afford medication, not priced out of life-saving healthcare. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/b...

Trump Will End Subsidies for Medicare Drug Premiums

Millions of older Americans could pay more for their prescription drug coverage next year.

Everything costs more under Trump’s economy: housing, gas, electricity, groceries, and healthcare have become totally unaffordable for working families.

MAGA Republicans cut $1 trillion from our healthcare system at a time when rural hospitals were already struggling. A $10 billion bandaid program that only lasts five years does not fix the problem. Let’s get serious.

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.

The SAVE Act is a wolf in sheep's clothing–voter suppression dressed up as an election security bill. We’re still a HELL NO on the SAVE Act. Our elections are safe and secure.

Let’s pass our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act into law!

We passed the most consequential housing bill in decades because Coloradans deserve an affordable place to call home.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Americans deserve healthcare that’s accessible, affordable, and universal. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

About 1 in 4 workers keep unwanted jobs for health insurance, poll finds

The consequences of Trump’s deadly, illegal war are far reaching and he has no plan to get us out and lower costs. We must end the war and focus on lowering costs here at home. apnews.com/article/oil-...

Gas, groceries and back-to-school items are where shoppers might see higher oil prices surface

Consumers already feeling pinched since the Iran war started may feel more pain after oil prices pushed past $100 a barrel.

Dearfield holds a special place in Colorado history. We’re happy to support its preservation.

In case anyone forgot: Our elections are safer, more secure, and more accessible because of mail-in voting. In 2013, Colorado set the gold standard. Now the fight to protect Americans' right to vote continues.

President Trump has no idea what he’s doing in Iran. For five months he has promised complete and total victory. He’s not winding down the war, he’s escalating it.

A historic 1,200-year drought is adding fuel to the wildfires in Colorado. It’s costing our state. →It’s costing lives →It’s costing homes →It’s costing communities We won’t stop fighting for resources our first responders and communities need to battle these fires.

Instead of actually working to fix our broken immigration system, the Trump administration is trying to reignite yesterday’s culture wars. These young people, many of whom have never had a home other than Colorado, want an education so they can build their lives.
