The American people don’t want another forever war that will cost us billions of dollars.

Listening to Coloradans across the state, it’s clear they’re fed up with Trump and his ruthless agenda. Come November, we’re taking back power in Washington.

Trump’s illegal war in the Middle East:
- 6 U.S. service members lives lost
- No plan to evacuate possibly more than 1 million Americans stranded overseas
- Costs still up at home and gas prices soaring

And still no endgame or strategy.

ICE needs to be completely overhauled or shut down. Sen. Mullin is clearly not the right person to do that.

🚨🚨 ICE facilities in Colorado are holding detainees for weeks, forced to sleep in rooms without beds and locked up in secretive, nondescript locations like strip malls. This is inhumane.

Firing Kristi Noem is just a bandaid when it comes to reform – we need a complete overhaul of the agency.

Trump has plunged our economy into chaos. Illegal tariff-taxes and starting an unwanted war in the Middle East is not putting America first.

The more the president fuels this illegal war machine, the more American families run on empty.

House Rejects War Powers Resolution on Iran Four Democrats joined most Republicans in rejecting the measure.

Americans did not sign up for another forever war in the Middle East.

Yet, all Colorado House Republicans let Trump off the hook.

Trump’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management, Steve Pearce, is someone who has committed to the sell-off of our public lands.

I voted no on his nomination in the Senate ENR committee, and I’ll vote no again when the vote comes to the Senate floor.

Release all of the Epstein files.
Lower health care costs.
Refund Americans the money they’re owed from Trump’s illegal tariff-taxes.

Colorado families deserve more than endless broken promises and higher costs.

Gas prices are climbing again in Colorado, and drivers are noticing Gas prices are climbing again, and Colorado drivers are feeling it. As the conflict in Iran intensifies, crude oil prices have spiked to their highest level in more than a year.

You’re paying more at the gas pump because of Trump’s illegal war in the Middle East.

Long overdue. We’ve been calling for her to resign or be fired.

ICE’s violence goes deeper than who is in charge. We won’t give them a penny more until it’s overhauled.

President Trump is spreading war and chaos throughout the Middle East. He didn’t even plan an evacuation strategy, leaving possibly more than a million Americans left stranded in a war zone. It’s a disgrace.

I voted to end Trump’s illegal, directionless war with Iran.

President Trump waged a war in the Middle East to distract from his failures at home. He needs to follow the law and get explicit Congressional approval for any further military intervention.

Trump said he was going to lower costs and end wars. He’s not holding up on his promises.

I voted NO on Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management because we need a real steward for public lands.

Our lands are a sense of connection to our history, to our identity β€” what it means to be a Coloradan. We’re fighting to protect them.

Congressional oversight of ICE facilities is necessary and constitutionally required.

Secretary Noem can’t just ignore the law.

Denver ban on masks for ICE agents, other law enforcement approved by city council in unanimous vote Denver City Council on Monday unanimously approved a new law that will ban federal immigration and other law enforcement officers from wearing masks while working within city limits.

I’m a YES on the bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution because it’s not the President’s call if we go to war β€” it’s up to Congress.

We don’t need another forever war in the Middle East. We need President Trump to live up to his promises of making life affordable for working families.

Record numbers of people are dying in ICE custody and the Trump administration wants to open another facility in Hudson, Colorado.

We won’t stand for their unacceptable, dangerous, and poorly executed mass deportation agenda.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is costing American lives and taxpayer money.

He is distracting us from our problems at home – including rising costs and skyrocketing health care – and bragging about his ballroom.

Americans don’t want another endless war. President Trump is not just breaking more of his campaign promises – he’s sidestepped Congress and attacked Iran without congressional approval.

Screenshot of post from Senator John Hickenlooper: "President Trump has bypassed his constitutional duty to seek congressional authorization for operations in Iran. By failing to consult Congress, he operates without an articulated goal, strategy, or endgame. This unilateral action ignores most Americans' desire to avoid endless foreign wars, creating the distinct impression of a calculated distraction from his domestic failures including the economy, ICE violence, and the unreleased Epstein files. While we would certainly welcome the fall of Iran’s terror-sponsoring and repressive regime, the President's reckless approach leaves us facing profound, unanswered questions about the new dangers he has unleashed."

It’s been just over two weeks since we blocked DHS funding that did absolutely nothing to rein in ICE’s lawlessness. We blocked it again on Tuesday.

ICE doesn’t deserve another penny unless they meet the same basic standards that every police officer in America follows.

We’re pulling every lever we’ve got to make sure public lands stay in public hands.

Republicans tried to sell them off in their Big Ugly Bill. We stopped them.

Trump’s pick to lead the BLM has a record of pushing to sell off public lands. I’m a NO on his nomination.

We can’t – and won’t – let up.
