On Trans Day of Visibility, we stand united against the discrimination faced by the trans community in Colorado and across the nation.  We celebrate the contributions and resilience of trans Coloradans and recommit to the fight for a future where every person can live freely and without fear.

Donald Trump’s ridiculous and desperate attempt to undermine U.S. elections is an insult to anybody who cherishes our Constitution.

Today, Denver celebrates Si Se Puede Day, and all of Colorado celebrates the newly named Farm Workers Day. This day belongs to immigrants, farm workers, and those who refused to stop fighting for dignity, justice, and the labor rights they're owed.

As Colorado works hard to protect our LGBTQ+ community, the Supreme Court’s decision on conversion therapy is extremely disappointing. The facts are simple: Conversion therapy is harmful and no Coloradan should be forced to change who they are.

This week, I introduced a bipartisan bill to demand accountability on stalled U.S. arms sales to Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. These delays undermine our decades-long commitment to Indo-Pacific security. My bill will clearly identify what the Pentagon must do to close this gap.

For over a month, Democrats fought to pay TSA, FEMA & Coast Guard workers. Republicans blocked every attempt — until airports descended into chaos. This deal doesn't go far enough, but it ensures federal workers get paid and airports stay open — without any funds for ICE or CBP.

As a former school superintendent, I saw firsthand how educators spend their own money to give kids what they need to succeed in the classroom. That's why I introduced the bipartisan SEED Act to help early childhood educators cover the cost of supplies, books, and other classroom materials.

Everywhere I go in Colorado, parents tell me that social media is harming their kids' mental health.

I appreciate Colorado water utilities who are taking proactive steps to manage our water supplies in the face of unprecedented high temperatures and record low snowpack this spring. I’d encourage Coloradans to make sure you’re up to speed on the latest guidance from your local utility.

President Trump's unauthorized war with Iran has spiked oil prices – forcing Coloradans to choose between a full tank and groceries for their families. Since Trump launched his war, Colorado gas prices are up nearly 35%, outpacing the national average and the biggest hike in 25 years.

I'm grateful that Dennis Coyle will be coming home after the Taliban wrongfully detained him for more than a year in Afghanistan. Dennis is a native of Pueblo, Colorado who dedicated over 20 years of his life to improving the lives of the Afghan people.

I have been steadfast in my belief that President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has made our communities less safe, left states to suffer alone in the wake of natural disasters, and completely disregarded the rule of law.

Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard 7 times. Republicans have blocked these attempts at every turn. President Trump is holding critical safety agencies hostage to push through a voter suppression bill and shield a lawless ICE operation from accountability.

On the fifth anniversary of the horrific King Soopers shooting in Boulder, we remember the 10 Coloradans who lost their lives to this senseless act of gun violence. We keep their families in our thoughts and recommit to fighting for the gun safety reforms they deserve.

This weekend, thousands of Native Americans will gather in Denver to celebrate their cultural heritage at the 50th anniversary of the Denver March Powwow. What once started as a youth enrichment program in the 1970s is now one of the most celebrated Powwows in the country.

From Rocky Mountain National Park to the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, the Trump Administration is targeting exhibits that discuss climate change and the history of violence and displacement inflicted on Native American communities across all of our Colorado national parks.

Eid Mubarak, Colorado! May your Eid al-Fitr celebrations be filled with blessings after a month of community gathering, reflection, and fasting. Wishing Colorado’s Muslim community a joyful and peaceful holiday.

Colorado sets the gold standard for election security in the nation. We don't need federal overreach that will only succeed in making it harder for Coloradans and those across the country to register and cast their ballot.

The American people don’t want the chaos and violence the Trump administration has brought to cities across America. They don’t want masked ICE agents ripping neighbors from their homes and tearing families apart. They want accountability and oversight at every level of our immigration system.

Nineteen days into this war of choice, President Trump – who campaigned on ending wars – has made America into the world’s policeman, jury, judge, and executioner.

The Trump administration has threatened to withhold millions in federal funding and undermine critical food assistance for thousands of Coloradans unless the state complies with his political demands.

Trump’s decision to dismantle NCAR is not about anything other than retribution against Colorado for refusing to capitulate to the President’s political agenda.

Congratulations to Colorado’s own Malik Jones and the entire USA Paralympic Sled Hockey Team on winning gold at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games – the team’s fifth straight Paralympic victory and a new record for consecutive golds in Olympic or Paralympic hockey.

I firmly support UFCW Local 7’s right to organize, collectively bargain, and fight for fair compensation, safe working conditions, and the respect they deserve. The workers at JBS are critical to the meatpacking supply chain and to Northern Colorado’s economy.

I joined my Senate Democratic colleagues to demand answers from the DoD on whether the U.S. was responsible for a strike on a school in Iran that killed at least 168 people.

Trump and Carr are threatening to revoke licenses to broadcast networks because they don’t like their coverage of Trump’s unauthorized war. This is a direct attack on the free press in the United States. It cannot be allowed to stand. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I am keeping in my thoughts these six airmen and their families. I'm forever grateful for their service and sacrifice. President Trump must explain immediately how his administration plans to prevent this war from further endangering the lives of American troops and destabilizing the region.

Republicans have once again blocked funding for cybersecurity personnel, TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard—demanding a blank check for ICE and DHS with no reforms or accountability.

The Senate just passed the largest federal housing package in over a decade with overwhelming bipartisan support. This bill will build more homes, cut red tape, and modernize housing programs across the country.

I am horrified by the attack at the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan today. Every American should be able to practice their faith without fear of violence or hate.

I joined Coloradans at the Stand Up for Science Rally to fight back against this Administration's dangerous anti-science agenda.

President Trump is holding the Senate hostage to pass his SAVE America Act — legislation that will make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

Last week, Republicans blocked funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard—critical agencies responsible for keeping Americans safe and responding to natural disasters. In doing so, they’ve prioritized shielding ICE and DHS from accountability over funding the agencies Americans rely on in crisis.

Susan and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, who passed away Sunday after being wounded during an attack in Saudi Arabia. We’re forever grateful for his service and sacrifice. My thoughts are with his loved ones and his fellow soldiers at Fort Carson.

As the Ukrainian people enter their fifth year of war against Putin's aggression, the U.S. and our allies must form a coalition to use Putin's money against him – by wielding billions in Russian sovereign assets on Ukraine's behalf. Read my op-ed ⬇️ www.euractiv.com/opinion/puti...

On the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, we honor civil leaders like John Lewis who sacrificed their skulls to billy clubs on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in the fight for a stronger democracy.

I have talked with leadership from UFCW Local 7 and JBS and know that both want to reach a deal. I strongly support the right of workers to unionize and collectively bargain.

Six Coloradans will be competing for Team USA at the Paralympic Games in Milano Cortina! From para alpine skiing to sled hockey, these athletes represent the very best of our state. I look forward to cheering for our Paralympians as they go for the gold!

Kristi Noem was in no way qualified to run DHS, and she should never have been put in charge of such a critical agency responsible for protecting our national security, enforcing immigration laws, and responding to domestic emergencies. Read my full statement ⬇️

The courts have made it clear: the Trump Administration must return the tariff fees it collected from companies and small businesses across the country—with interest.

Today, I voted yes on the War Powers Resolution requiring President Trump to remove U.S. troops from waging war against against Iran without Congressional authorization – which Senate Republicans blocked. Read my statement ⬇️

Happy 303 Day, Colorado! In 1947, 303 became one of North America's original area codes, connecting Colorado from the Eastern Plains to Western Slope. Every March 3rd, we celebrate Colorado and the growth that's taken us from one area code to many.

The EPA just rolled back air pollution standards for coal- and oil-fired power plants, allowing more mercury, heavy metals, and soot into our air while eliminating the requirement to monitor these toxins being released into our communities. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/c...

Susan and I are keeping in our thoughts the brave American servicemembers killed and wounded in action in the Middle East. Their sacrifice is a stark reminder of the human cost of decisions made in Washington to go to war.

From the suffragettes to the women on the front lines of today's fight for civil rights, this March we will be highlighting the remarkable women who have shaped the course of Colorado history.

The Trump Administration must explain immediately how it plans to prevent its war with Iran from creating a chain reaction that hopelessly destabilizes the country or ignites a regional conflagration that jeopardizes the lives of American troops. Read my statement on the President’s war in Iran:

In the 1860s, Lewis and Frederick Douglass Jr., sons of the abolitionist and civil rights pioneer, Frederick Douglass, headed west to Denver. The Douglass brothers founded Colorado's first Black school — an entire century before schools were desegregated across America.

Trump's Surgeon General nominee is wholly unqualified to lead the nation in making informed public health decisions.

Private prison contractors profiting from people detained at the Aurora detention facility is a moral failure we cannot ignore. I will keep fighting for real accountability, transparency, and human dignity at every level of our immigration process. coloradosun.com/2026/02/25/u...

Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management is an insult to all Coloradans.
