This is really hard to look at, but it's so important that we never forget. REMEMBER EPSTEIN

The President of the United States is a liar.

Republicans packed their bags and delayed the vote to jam funding through for ICE to avoid voting on my amendment. We’re pulling every lever we’ve got to stop YOUR tax dollars from funding Trump’s corrupt slush fund and his secret police. arkvalleyvoice.com/hickenlooper...

Millions of women in America now have less rights and worse access to reproductive health care than they did four years ago. We won’t let extreme MAGA Republicans pull us backwards. We’re thankful to @ppact.org for protecting those rights and standing with us.

For most of the past two decades, I’ve had the honor to work closely with former Ute Mountain Ute Chairman Manuel Heart. I’m proud of our joint efforts to connect more homes and businesses to high-speed internet and help deliver reliable drinking water.

"The judge concluded his opinion with an unusually sharp rebuke of the Trump administration: 'Suppression of political speech is the mark of an autocracy, not a democracy — as the Framers recognized when they drafted the First Amendment'...” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

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

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

Instead of lowering costs for Americans like he promised, Trump is instead dead set on making it harder for you to vote. I’m a NO on the SAVE America Act.

Good morning, BlueSky

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

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.

Trump's illegal war is getting American servicemembers killed and causing gas prices to skyrocket. This week, I'm voting to END this war, just as the American people demand.

For a year, Congressional Republicans let Trump increase costs for the American people by allowing him unchecked authority to impose illegal tariffs. Today, the Supreme Court said that his lawlessness must end. This is a huge win for American families, businesses, and the rule of law.

The SAVE Act makes it harder to vote, not easier. Requiring a passport or birth certificate leaves the nearly 50% of American voters who don’t have a passport – and millions of married women with name changes – with unnecessary hurdles. I’m a NO.

Last week, we reintroduced our Water Project Navigators Act that would allow more projects to be developed, funded, and built for our rural and tribal communities – making sure those that are often left behind get the funding they need. Let’s get it across the finish line!

Today, I conducted an oversight visit of the Aurora ICE detention facility. Now more than ever, we need more oversight—not less. I won’t stop fighting for access, transparency, and accountability at every level of our immigration system.

On this day in 1870, the 15th Amendment was ratified, guaranteeing the right to vote to every American regardless of race. As Trump repeatedly attacks our elections, we must fight to ensure voting is free and equal. Our democracy depends on it.

PDXers: if you personally see slavecatchers, call the PIRC Hotline: 1-888-622-1510 Save in your contacts. If you spot ICE, do not approach, and use SALUTE reporting: Size: How many agents? Actions/Activities Location/Direction: Where are they headed? Uniform/Clothes Time Equipment/Weapons

Last week, alongside nearly every Democrat, I voted against funding for ICE because its thugs are out of control.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

This week, Senate Republicans chose to waste a committee hearing to debate proven science. Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved medication – it must stay legal and accessible so women can get the care they need.

Goodnight from Colorado 💙 💤 (Photo taken this morning.) #sky #clouds #sunrise #photography

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

This winter is serving so many brilliant sunrises. 🧡✨

It’s going to be a lovely day. #grateful #photography

Trump has turned his back on rural Colorado. He’s sold out ranchers by pushing foreign beef. He’s raised grocery costs with illegal tariffs. And he’s vetoed our bipartisan bill to finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit, denying clean water to 50,000 folks. It’s unacceptable.

Trump uprooted a mission-ready Space Command in Colorado Springs. He’s dismantling a critical climate research lab in Boulder. And he’s denying disaster relief for Coloradans reeling from floods and fires. These attempts to strong arm our state are dangerous and un-American.

While you slept, the Trump administration banned abortion care for millions of veterans —including in cases of rape, incest, or to save their lives. Veterans who served our country will be less safe and less protected because of this cruel policy. www.ms.now/news/abortio...

Withholding food from hungry children and working families based on politics is senseless and cruel. We won’t stand for this. Coloradans deserve so much better.

The Hepatitis B birth dose is credited for a 99 percent drop in infections, and RFK Jr. and his vaccine conspiracy theorists on ACIP want to scrap that dose. Their anti-science agenda is going to lead to preventable deaths for American children. Shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

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.

Health care is a right. It’s not a privilege, a luxury, or a political tool.
