Jeanette Vizguerra will finally reunite with her family, but her release is long overdue. As we fight for to fix our broken immigration system, I’m grateful for Jeanette’s continued leadership in speaking out against this administration’s cruel and inhumane policies.

At President Trump’s inauguration, he declared an “energy emergency” to try and justify his damaging actions to roll back clean energy and climate protections. It’s dangerous, and it weakens America’s energy leadership and progress towards a net-zero future. (1/2)

FEMA’s denial of Colorado’s request for federal disaster assistance is unacceptable.

On its 6th birthday, the U.S. Space Force continues to be essential for ensuring U.S. national security by securing space superiority. We in Colorado are proud to host four Space Force installations and the brave men and women who support its vital mission.

Coloradans know firsthand how devastating worsening wildfires and other disasters are for their communities and insurance costs. We must help families prepare, not just recover. That’s why I’m pushing my tax credit to cover the costs of safeguarding homes & businesses before these disasters occur.

President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR. It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded. Read our full statement here:

The Trump Admin’s profiling, harassment, and arrest of Tribal citizens by ICE is unconscionable and a betrayal of the government’s responsibility to Tribal Nations that have existed here since time immemorial. I’m pushing back on the DHS and calling for accountability for these inhumane practices.

Thank you to the brave firefighters and first responders working to protect Yuma County communities from growing wildfires in the area. I am closely monitoring the situation as extreme winds threaten to spread the fires and put more homes and farmland at risk.

After Senator Lee tried to sell off our public lands earlier this year, I fought it and helped stop his disastrous attempt. Now he's targeting our national parks. [1/2]

Donald Trump wants you to believe life is more affordable under his administration — but it’s not true.

Donald Trump's vengeful plan to dismantle NCAR and cut millions in federal grants is the latest attack against Colorado. I will not stand by while Trump weaponizes the federal government to punish our state.  [1/2]

The annual defense bill, the NDAA, contains important measures I fought for to support our servicemembers, Colorado, and our national security.

The President must not send our men and women in uniform into harm’s way for oil. The American people do not want yet another unauthorized, costly war based on an ill-conceived rationale.

The Finish the AVC Act is a bipartisan solution to ensure Southeastern Colorado can afford the safe and reliable drinking water it deserves.

When Republicans forced through Trump’s billionaire tax cuts earlier this year, I made it clear that Trump’s idea of prosperity is reserved only for those at the top. [1/2]

This is Trump’s economy: rising unemployment, higher costs, and fewer opportunities to get ahead. Coloradans deserve a President who is more interested in their future than in inflicting chaos on our economy to serve his personal political agenda.

“Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management is an insult to Colorado and anyone who cares about the lands that sustain our economy and Western way of life." Read my full statement on his nomination here:

Colorado’s small businesses should be able to plan, invest, and support their workers without fearing that President Trump’s incoherent tariff policies will force them to close. Our small businesses can’t make decisions based on Trump’s political whims. He must reverse these tariffs immediately.

Reminder: Open enrollment for 2026 Colorado marketplace health insurance plans ends TODAY for coverage starting on January 1, 2026.

President Trump's reckless and short-sighted decision to let NVIDIA sell advanced AI chips to China threatens U.S. national security and technological leadership. We cannot give China the tools to outcompete us or our allies.

Thirteen years ago, 20 children and six educators were killed in a horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. Our students deserve to grow up and go to school without fear. I will keep fighting for policies that keep our communities safe from acts of senseless gun violence.

I am horrified to hear about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

The deadly attack on U.S. forces engaged in counterterrorism efforts in Syria is reprehensible. My thoughts are with the brave troops and interpreter we lost, those wounded, and their loved ones. As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I am closely monitoring the situation.

Last month, President Trump attempted to illegally withhold SNAP funding, adding to his disgraceful record of making Americans’ lives harder. As he continues to threaten Colorado’s food assistance, I will keep fighting for our state to ensure hungry families have the food they need.

Colorado: OPEN ENROLLMENT for 2026 marketplace health insurance plans ends Monday, December 15, for coverage starting on January 1, 2026. As rates are set to rise next year, now is the time to check your rate, compare your options, and secure your plan. ⬇️

Coloradans are weeks away from skyrocketing health care premiums, but President Trump and Republicans refuse to extend ACA premium tax credits or do anything to prevent this crisis. But this fight isn’t over. I will keep working to expand accessible and affordable care to every Coloradan.

President Trump promised his tariffs would bring down costs, but they have only driven them higher. Now, families struggling to get by are paying the price with skyrocketing costs on everyday needs. They cannot afford another broken promise from Trump. His incoherent trade policies must end.

For over 15 years, I’ve pushed to ban members of Congress from becoming lobbyists and profiting from their influence after they leave. Republicans unanimously blocked my amendment to do so, siding with the special interests that corrupt our politics. The American people expect better & deserve it.

"The NDAA contains important measures I fought hard to secure [...] but I cannot, in good conscience, rubber-stamp President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s lawless Department of Defense. Our country deserves better, and our Constitution demands it.” My full statement on voting NO to advance the NDAA

My statement on the Senate's vote to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits:

As Colorado’s ranchers struggle to get by, President Trump must not make matters worse by creating more uncertainty. Yet his incoherent trade policies continue to betray our ranchers, making it harder for them to recover from years of hardship.

“Our family can’t afford health care now.” “This is a devastating increase.” “I’m scared.” Coloradans continue to reach out to me, terrified they won’t be able to afford their health insurance next year. [1/2]

CO farmers have endured years of challenges, & many are barely holding on. President Trump’s trade war has only made a difficult situation much worse. Yesterday's announcement is a short-term band aid, & it will not reach every farmer or address the mounting issues and costs our farmers are facing.

Too many families struggle to find affordable homes in their community, while seniors worry about a massive tax bill if they try to sell their homes. That’s why I’m pushing to update tax rules to make more homes available so more Coloradans can find a place to call their own.

I am alarmed by President Trump’s most recent concession to China: refusing to impose sanctions on a Chinese spy agency responsible for a massive hack of U.S. telecom networks. [1/2]

The Trump Administration’s mass firing of immigration judges has backlogged cases and left the already overwhelmed system further behind. I’m pushing to get qualified immigration judges back on the bench to ensure everyone has access to full due process rights.

Our health care system fails to provide working people with the care they need, and millions in Colorado and across the country need an affordable option – now more than ever. [1/2]

This decision by Secretary Kennedy’s hand-selected panel of vaccine conspiracy theorists disregards decades of trusted science and proven reductions in Hep-B infections for kids. Kennedy’s continued politicization of vaccines will undoubtedly put the health of countless children at risk.

CO's National Guard bravely serves on the frontlines, from protecting our state from natural disasters to helping European allies deter Russia. I was glad to meet Maj General Robert Davis, the new Adjutant General of the CO National Guard, and look forward to working together to support our troops.

The Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General has now confirmed what I said months ago: Secretary Hegseth created unacceptable risks to U.S. troops and our military objectives by sharing sensitive operational battleplans in a Signal group chat.” [1/2]

My statement on blocking 88 Trump nominees on the Senate floor:

Last month, the CWCB embraced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sustain our way of life here in CO by approving the Shoshone water rights acquisition. Now, we must continue fighting together to make sure the Trump Admin delivers the funding already promised to this and other projects in CO.

The Trump Administration's continued weaponization of hunger as a political tool is nothing short of cruel. The administration is once again trying to take food away from Colorado families and punish our state for protecting people’s privacy - we won’t allow that to happen.

Minority-Serving Institutions in Colorado give students from rural and low-income backgrounds the opportunity to build a future with economic security. That’s why I’m demanding answers on the Trump Admin’s decision to cut off grants to these schools and the effects on their students.

“As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I am alarmed by reports that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to ‘kill everybody’ on an alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean.” Read my full statement on the reports concerning U.S. strikes in the Caribbean:

No one in detention should be cut off from their lawyer or their family. That’s why I introduced the Restoring Access to Detainees Act, because access to legal counsel and communication with family are basic rights & essential to due process. This bill brings needed accountability to ICE and CBP.

For decades, Colorado has been home to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory - a global leader in renewable energy innovation. Under its new name, the Lab must continue its groundbreaking work to achieve an affordable, net-zero economy and meet our nation’s complex energy challenges.

President Trump has once again done a disservice to our country on the world stage by disregarding our progress and disrespecting the millions who’ve lost their lives to HIV & AIDS in Colorado and around the world. The U.S. must not shy away from creating a world free from these illnesses.
