Today is the National Park Service’s birthday! 🥳🏞️

You know what would be a great birthday gift? Not firing staff or cutting funds from the agency responsible for keeping our public lands pristine and accessible!

On the Senate floor, we’re sounding the alarm about the Trump admin’s attacks on Americans’ health care.

We’re fighting for one thing: to protect the essential care that millions of Americans rely on every single day. youtube.com/shorts/Z0peF...

OUR PUBLIC LANDS ARE NOT FOR SALE.

Last night, the Senate voted to override both environmental and community input to sell off our public lands.

This admin’s attacks on our public lands are relentless. We’ll continue to stand against their attempts to pawn them off to the highest bidder.

Hey, Rep. Evans! We’re fighting to keep health care premiums for Coloradans from DOUBLING after YOU voted to kick your own constituents off their insurance.

Also, you have my number. That’s a much better way to reach me!

Today marks two years since 1,200 innocent people were horrifically murdered by Hamas. On this solemn anniversary, we remember and honor the victims. This conflict needs to end. The remaining hostages must be released and there needs to be immediate aid into Gaza to end the dire humanitarian crisis.

Durango-area small businesses feel effects of Trump’s tariffs

At least some small businesses in Durango area say they have been feeling the effects of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Congress’ newly introduced Small Business Relief Act could help them. Colorad...

Small businesses shouldn’t be collateral damage in Trump’s trade war.

Our Small Business Relief Act gives them a fighting chance.

Preventing your health care costs from increasing is exactly what we’re fighting for

20 million Americans could see their health care premiums more than DOUBLE in 2026. That’s on top of the 15 million that’ll lose their coverage thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Betrayal bill.

Trump and Washington Republicans would rather shut down the government than lift a finger to stop it.

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k.

2025: $228
2026: $1142

She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care.

This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

If we don’t stand up now, Colorado families could be kicked off their insurance or see their health care premiums double in price.

We’re fighting for lower costs for Americans, not so the ultra-wealthy can get richer.

American families don’t deserve to see their health care costs spike, all so the ultra-wealthy can pocket more savings in tax breaks.

Trump’s shutdown strategy? Inflict pain on Americans until he gets what he wants. All because he refuses to lower costs for working people.

Even if you’re against cleaner energy, these projects are well underway. To abandon them now wastes the funds already invested and needlessly cripples small businesses.

The cancellation of this funding for political vengeance is blatantly illegal. Congress approved this funding to create jobs and to generate cleaner, cheaper power.

Enough is enough. Republicans should work to reopen the government and lower health care costs for working families.

Senator John Hickenlooper @hickenlooper.senate.gov · 6d

Rather than negotiating a path forward to fund our government and address sky-high health care costs, Republicans let the government shut down for the first time in six years.

We’re fighting to keep health care premiums from DOUBLING for families after Republicans kicked 15M Americans off their insurance this summer.

Can YOU afford a $1,000/month health care price hike? Enough is enough.

President Trump told us he didn’t know anything about Project 2025. So what’s the truth?

The truth is the president shut down the government to distract from the fact that Americans are sicker and poorer under his administration.

In June, Republicans voted to kick 15M Americans off their insurance. Now, they want to let health care premiums DOUBLE for millions of families.

They refused to fix the health care crisis they created and plunged our country into a government shutdown.
