Good News: UC Colorado Springs will now have an Air Force ROTC unit to better serve students in southern Colorado traveling 100+ miles for classes. After urging the US Air Force to establish this unit, I’m glad students who have committed to serving our country will now have greater support.

It has been a privilege to work alongside Chairman Manuel Heart and witness his profound leadership and lifetime of service to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Working with him has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and I’m deeply grateful for his friendship and wisdom.

The American people do not want another war. Yet President Trump continues to threaten land strikes in Venezuela and has deployed a naval armada to the region. This risks a conflict and puts our military servicemembers in harm’s way. (1/2)

Nancy Pelosi's decades of dedicated public service and fearless advocacy for working families and for our kids have improved countless Americans' lives and made our country more just. (1/2)

It is absurd that President Trump requires the mandate of a federal judge to prevent millions of families in America from going hungry. This is an emergency of Trump's own making. He must end it and fully fund SNAP now.

Congratulations to Superintendent Chris Gdowski from Adams 12 Five Star Schools on being named Colorado Superintendent of the Year! Your leadership and dedication to educators, students, their families, and the community are inspiring.

This week, when Mark and his wife checked their health care premiums for next year, they had quadrupled. With a history of serious medical issues, Mark’s family cannot go without health insurance & must now figure out how they can afford to pay over $17,000 more for their coverage next year. (1/2)

I’ve heard from Coloradans across our state who don’t know how they’re going to feed their families this week as President Trump plays politics with their SNAP benefits. Trump must stop using hunger as a political weapon, follow the law, and fully fund SNAP immediately.

Today marks the longest government shutdown in American history, a shameful milestone for our country. (1/2)

Dave, a father of five in Littleton, is facing a $1,500/month increase to his family’s health insurance plan. He shared that their budget cannot handle this dramatic increase in coverage costs without radical changes to their family’s daily life. (1/2)

President Trump’s open defiance of court orders and refusal to release funding for Americans who rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families is nothing short of cruel. President Trump has the power and the legal tools to fully fund SNAP. Anything less is unacceptable.

I stand in solidarity with the performers at Casa Bonita as they organize and engage in mediation for fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect in the workplace. Every Coloradan deserves the dignity that comes with a fair and just workplace.

The Trump Administration must stop using hunger as a political weapon, follow the law, and fully fund SNAP. The administration has the authority and resources to fund food assistance for hungry families, and these half measures are unacceptable.

Colorado has led the country in protecting patients’ credit scores from the burden of unexpected medical debt. The Trump Administration’s cruel attempts to upend these protections, as they leave working families without affordable coverage, will worsen the health care crisis Coloradans are facing.

If you have seen your 2026 health care premiums skyrocket, please share your story. Republicans have refused to extend critical premium tax credits for working families, and now thousands of Coloradans are at risk of losing coverage. Your story will allow me to shine a light on this crisis.

OPEN ENROLLMENT for Connect for Health Colorado 2026 plans starts today Nov. 1st, and ends Jan. 15th. Coloradans across the state have told me their premiums are increasing hundreds or thousands of dollars a month. Now is the time to check your rate, compare, and secure your plan.

For weeks, I’ve been demanding the Trump administration use contingency funding for critical SNAP benefits that keep families fed. Now, the courts are requiring it. To Donald Trump and Republicans: get back to work and stop messing with Americans’ lives.

After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Cyndi relied on her Connect for Health plan for the life-saving treatments and therapies she needed. Now she's in remission & facing the impossible choice of skipping her annual appointments or paying $1200 more/ month for coverage she can't afford. (1/2)

As federal workers continue to work without pay, and the government shutdown affects services across Colorado, please visit my website for information and resources that can help. My office is open and ready to assist however we can during this time. www.bennet.senate.gov/government-s...

Colorado: If you have a Connect for Health Colorado plan, you can log on now and see plan prices for next year. Many Coloradans will see their premiums double or triple. Please share your 2026 increases here, and I will continue to shine a light on this crisis that our state is now facing.

Bob's story is the reality for countless Coloradans. Working families in our state simply cannot afford to pay thousands more every month for health insurance. I will keep fighting to ensure more Coloradans don’t lose their coverage as a result of this crisis.

The Trump Administration spent $20 billion in taxpayer dollars to prop up Argentina and paved the way for their beef producers to profit at the expense of our own. I will continue to demand answers from Trump’s appointees for this ridiculous policy and betrayal of Colorado’s ranchers.

Yesterday, the Durango community came together to peacefully protest the cruel actions of an ICE raid that separated a family. I am outraged to see that in response, ICE confronted the protestors with pepper spray, rubber bullets, and physical force. (1/2)

Instead of ending his trade war and bringing down costs to help struggling ranchers, President Trump is prioritizing his friendship with Argentina’s president & his country’s beef producers over our own. Colorado ranchers and their families deserve stability, not politically driven trade policies.

Coloradans who purchase health insurance through the ACA marketplace may see their premiums double or triple next year. This is unacceptable. (1/2)

The proposed acquisition of Tegna — the parent company of 9News — by Nexstar, would make it the largest local broadcasting company in the country & threaten local journalism in Colorado and beyond. Proud to partner with @bennet.senate.gov in imploring the FCC to reject it.

Next year, a couple in El Paso County could be forced to pay $950 a month for health insurance. This is the real cost of Republicans' refusal to negotiate to extend premium health care tax credits for working families. Coloradans cannot afford it.

Countless Coloradans have a story like Diane Schwindt in Wellington – facing homelessness or worse if they lose their health coverage from skyrocketing premiums. (1/2) @nowthisimpact.bsky.social

If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing: A couple in Jackson County would pay over $1400 a month for health insurance. There are real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.

President Trump’s repeated attempts to exploit one of the last truly wild landscapes in America will have irreversible consequences. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is simply too precious and culturally significant for oil and gas development. (1/2)

As many federal workers continue to work without pay, I’ve refused to accept my own and will donate my salary to Colorado organizations in need once Republicans come to the table and finally end their shutdown.

Up to 100,000 Coloradans could lose their health coverage if ACA premium tax credits aren’t extended. This is an issue of life and death. Republicans must come to the table now to prevent the loss of this lifeline before it’s too late.

These long-overdue sanctions on Russian oil producers should be the first of several steps to increase pressure on Putin to end his war on Ukraine. (1/2)

Drought and rising costs continue to crush Colorado ranchers. President Trump has needlessly inflicted more pain with his trade war, and by bailing out Argentinian beef producers at the expense of our own. (1/2)

We are less than two weeks away from a health care crisis in this country, with premiums set to skyrocket, and Republicans refuse to work towards a solution. That’s why I voted NO for the 12th time against their partisan budget bill. Republicans must negotiate now.

Skyrocketing health care premiums are blindsiding families, with some rising thousands of dollars more a month. Republicans must negotiate to extend ACA premium tax credits or force households to choose between affording their health insurance or their rent & groceries. We’re running out of time.

Thank you to everyone who joined my virtual town hall yesterday to make your voices heard on the Republican shutdown and other issues impacting Colorado. Watch the full town hall here ⬇️

TODAY: October 21st, at 1 PM MT, I'm hosting a virtual town hall! I look forward to speaking directly with Coloradans about preventing premiums from skyrocketing, ending the Republican shutdown, and other important issues. Sign up here to join ⬇️ senate.webex.com/weblink/regi...

Coloradans are receiving letters that their health care premiums are going to double or triple, and yet Republicans continue to push their partisan budget bill that ignores this looming crisis. I voted NO for the 11th time to stop them. It’s time to negotiate.

TOMORROW: October 21st, at 1 PM MT, I'm hosting a virtual town hall! I look forward to speaking directly with Coloradans about ending the Republican shutdown, preventing premiums from skyrocketing, and other important issues. Sign up here to join ⬇️

This weekend, I saw the devastation from the recent flooding in Pagosa Springs firsthand. Thank you to the local leaders working around the clock to keep Southwest Colorado communities safe and push recovery forward. I’m ready to offer federal assistance in any way I can.

A couple in Garfield County would pay over $1200 a month for health insurance if Republicans allow their premium health care tax credits to expire. There are real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.

Millions of Americans, including small business owners, their employees, and the self-employed, rely on ACA tax credits for health coverage they otherwise couldn’t afford. (1/2)

After an Enterprise gas line burst last year, nearly 100,000 gallons of spilled gasoline threatened water supplies on Southern Ute Tribal lands. As clean-up efforts continue, I look forward to the continued work to protect the Animas River and drinking water for local communities.

Coloradans worry their kids won’t be able to live where they grew up due to the lack of affordable housing. Thanks to the partnership with Durango leaders, we secured $3M in federal funding for the Residence at Durango — a model for the rest of the state in addressing the housing crisis.

Parents across Colorado often tell me they struggle to find affordable childcare. I was glad to join leaders in La Plata County today to discuss how we meet this challenge and make Colorado the best place to raise a family.

Since the Republican shutdown began three weeks ago, a skeleton crew of public servants has been managing and protecting our national parks during one of the busiest times of the year – with no pay. (1/2)

Farmers and ranchers would be among those hit the hardest by skyrocketing premiums if Republicans allow ACA health care tax credits to expire. Republicans must come to the table to find a way forward. Our ag producers and their families cannot afford to live without this lifeline.
