🚀 Our Space RACE Act will ensure continued research in space after the ISS retirement, and
🔭 Our Dark and Quiet Skies Act will preserve the night sky to amplify our research.
Don't let Republicans fool you. They slashed SNAP over the summer, needlessly held it hostage during the shutdown, and are now implementing their cuts to take food away from families.
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will leave a lasting wound on our country.
We are in a full-blown health care crisis.
Folks on the ACA marketplace are getting notices of their premiums doubling next year. Small businesses are bracing for the largest jump in health care costs in 15 years.
Republicans need to clean up their mess.
As if running a business wasn’t hard enough – Trump’s reckless tariff-taxes have plunged the economy into chaos, leaving Colorado retailers to deal with the fallout. It’s not right.

What happens next? The Bureau of Land Management must take public comments into review and reach a final decision. It’s clear that our fight to protect our public lands is NOT OVER. But we will pull every lever we have to make sure that our public lands will NEVER be for sale.

The public spoke out. Opposition is loud and overwhelming! 98% of public comments OPPOSE rescinding the Public Lands Rule.

Then, Trump moved to repeal the landmark Public Lands Rule. The Public Lands Rule protects millions of acres of our public lands, including 13,000 square miles in Colorado. Removing it would reduce critical conservation efforts.

We fought back. We challenged their efforts by introducing an amendment to remove the provision — all while keeping the public pressure on. And it worked. Public land sales were ruled out of Trump’s megabill.

This summer, Republicans tried to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder. They tried to add it into their so-called “Big Beautiful Bill’ to fund tax cuts for America’s ultra-wealthy.

We’re fighting back against Republicans and their endless attempts to sell our public lands. They aren’t for sale.

Premiums jumping up as much as 400% next year would be financially devastating for Colorado families. Republicans need to fix this health care crisis they created before it’s too late.

Let's be clear here: Trump threatened the lives of several Democratic members of Congress who served our country honorably. Trump's threats are sickening and have no place in America. Everyone must condemn this violent rhetoric.

Honored to have the support of @endcitizensunited.bsky.social as we fight to defend our democracy.
Trump and MAGA Republicans are no longer holding SNAP benefits hostage – now they're just waiting for their cuts to kick in.
Millions of families are still going to go hungry because of Republicans’ Big Bad Betrayal. We've got to fight back.

"We're talking about increases of more than 100% for 22 million Americans"
Can you afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more each month for health care??
We're running out of time. Republicans need to step up and work with us to extend the ACA tax credits NOW.
Bottom line: Trump's tariffs are sending your grocery bill through the roof and small businesses down the drain.
18.11.2025 23:14 — 👍 10 🔁 3 💬 0 📌 0The House finally voted to release the Epstein files. Now it's the Senate's turn.
I've known how I'll vote all along: to release ALL of the Epstein files. Americans deserve the truth.
Skyrocketing health care premiums are still at the forefront of Coloradans’ minds. Many folks may have to ditch their coverage altogether because they simply can't afford it.
That’s why we’re not backing down from fighting to lower these costs.
Hitting the slopes just got more expensive as Trump’s tariff-taxes squash our outdoor industries. His trade war continues to put a massive strain on Colorado staples.

It’s National Hiking Day! 🥾🏔️ We love a good hike here in Colorado, but Trump and Republicans *hiking* up costs isn’t one of them.
We’re working to change that and make this beautiful state more affordable for everyone.
Our public lands will NEVER be for sale.

The largest investment in our nation’s infrastructure since the New Deal was signed into law 4 years ago today.
Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has created good-paying jobs and addressed our aging infrastructure – and there’s still more to come.
Starbucks is not a poor company – yet they refuse to negotiate in good faith with their own workers.
Proud to stand with Colorado workers striking for their right to organize and for better working conditions.
Trump and MAGA Republicans have been relentless and vindictive in their attacks against our public lands.
We must be united and do everything we can to protect and restore them.
Release the Epstein files.
Release the Epstein files.
Release the Epstein files.
What are they trying to cover up?
Let’s be clear: our fight for affordable health care isn’t over. We’re going to use every tool we have to bring down costs. Full stop.
