The Trump admin is putting military families and Colorado communities at risk by stalling the cleanup of toxic forever chemicals. These cleanups are already long-overdue and any further delay is unacceptable.

Proud to stand with @endcitizensunited.bsky.social in the fight to get big money out of politics and protect the right to vote for everyone.

We're all about reaching new heights in Colorado. What should we do next? 🪂🧗

As if running a business wasn’t hard enough – Trump’s reckless tariff-taxes have plunged the economy into chaos, leaving Colorado retailers to deal with the fallout. It’s not right.

What happens next? The Bureau of Land Management must take public comments into review and reach a final decision. It’s clear that our fight to protect our public lands is NOT OVER. But we will pull every lever we have to make sure that our public lands will NEVER be for sale.

The public spoke out. Opposition is loud and overwhelming! 98% of public comments OPPOSE rescinding the Public Lands Rule.
November 21, 2025 at 12:02 AM
Then, Trump moved to repeal the landmark Public Lands Rule. The Public Lands Rule protects millions of acres of our public lands, including 13,000 square miles in Colorado. Removing it would reduce critical conservation efforts.
November 21, 2025 at 12:02 AM
We fought back. We challenged their efforts by introducing an amendment to remove the provision — all while keeping the public pressure on. And it worked. Public land sales were ruled out of Trump’s megabill.

This summer, Republicans tried to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder. They tried to add it into their so-called “Big Beautiful Bill’ to fund tax cuts for America’s ultra-wealthy.
November 21, 2025 at 12:02 AM
We’re fighting back against Republicans and their endless attempts to sell our public lands. They aren’t for sale.

Premiums jumping up as much as 400% next year would be financially devastating for Colorado families. Republicans need to fix this health care crisis they created before it’s too late.

Trump and MAGA Republicans are no longer holding SNAP benefits hostage – now they're just waiting for their cuts to kick in.

Millions of families are still going to go hungry because of Republicans’ Big Bad Betrayal. We've got to fight back.

"We're talking about increases of more than 100% for 22 million Americans"

Can you afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more each month for health care??

We're running out of time. Republicans need to step up and work with us to extend the ACA tax credits NOW.

Bottom line: Trump's tariffs are sending your grocery bill through the roof and small businesses down the drain.

Hitting the slopes just got more expensive as Trump’s tariff-taxes squash our outdoor industries. His trade war continues to put a massive strain on Colorado staples.

It’s National Hiking Day! 🥾🏔️ We love a good hike here in Colorado, but Trump and Republicans *hiking* up costs isn’t one of them.

We’re working to change that and make this beautiful state more affordable for everyone.

Our public lands will NEVER be for sale.

The largest investment in our nation’s infrastructure since the New Deal was signed into law 4 years ago today.

Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has created good-paying jobs and addressed our aging infrastructure – and there’s still more to come.

Starbucks is not a poor company – yet they refuse to negotiate in good faith with their own workers.

Proud to stand with Colorado workers striking for their right to organize and for better working conditions.
November 14, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Let’s be clear: our fight for affordable health care isn’t over. We’re going to use every tool we have to bring down costs. Full stop.
November 14, 2025 at 4:24 PM
No sugarcoating it: Trump’s tariff-taxes are pulverizing Colorado’s small businesses across every industry.
November 14, 2025 at 1:53 AM
⚠️ The Trump administration is at it again – trying to remove protections for YOUR public lands.

The American people couldn’t be more clear: 98% of public comments OPPOSE rescinding the Public Lands Rule.
