Today marks 72 years since Brown v. Board of Education, a hard-won victory by civil rights leaders who refused to accept "separate but equal." We honor their legacies through our continued fight to create real opportunity for every student in America. Their work remains unfinished and the fight continues.
During National Military Appreciation Month, we recognize Colorado’s 60,000+ servicemembers and 330,000+ veterans who embody courage and commitment to public service. Home to six military installations and the Air Force Academy, Colorado is central to our nation's defense. To our military community, thank you for your sacrifice and unwavering dedication.
Public Lands! Public Lands! Public Lands! They make Colorado, Colorado. That’s why I’ve protected 700,000 acres and fought to keep them public — and I won’t stop. We will continue to stand up to President Trump’s attacks on Colorado’s public lands and the workers who protect them. Happy Public Lands Day!
No, Tina Peters should not have had her sentence commuted. She broke Colorado laws and was convicted by a jury of her peers. Here’s my statement: https://t.co/ZsJm6eAt2b
The Trump Administration just repealed the Bureau of Land Management’s Public Lands Rule that helped make sure conservation, recreation, and local communities had a real seat at the table. Now, millions of acres of public land are even more exposed to development and the impacts of climate change. These lands belong to all of us. We must keep fighting to protect them. https://t.co/dnsVxjNx0z
Thank you Kate from Eagle County for joining us in the fight to protect our public lands. We won't back down in defending these public treasures that belong to all Coloradans. (Vail Daily) https://t.co/ODucQvTI8Y
The Senate passed our resolution to recognize the 10th anniversary of the Columbine Day of Service, honoring the lives lost at Columbine and standing with the members of our community whose lives have been forever changed by gun violence. Thank you @RepJasonCrow for your partnership in recognizing this important day of remembrance and service.
The Trump Administration will finally release $47 of the $140 million that Congress already secured to address the Colorado River Crisis. As we face historic drought, I’ll keep demanding that Colorado receives every dollar we were promised, including for Shoshone. https://t.co/U8WT0D3GLr
I voted NO on Kevin Warsh’s nomination for Chair of the Federal Reserve. I have no confidence that he will provide the independence this role requires. The Federal Reserve risks becoming more responsive to President Trump than to the American people, and to the needs of the American economy. Read my full statement ⬇️
Good news that the FDA Commissioner stepped down. Now RFK Jr. should do the same. His agencies are burying reports showing vaccines are safe and effective — including data that COVID vaccines significantly reduced hospitalizations. Americans deserve honesty, transparency, and leadership that puts science first. https://t.co/DqzdcoctIo
