ICE sent undertrained, masked agents onto our streets. Americans have been killed. Families have been wrongfully detained and deported. Communities have been terrorized. Enough is enough.

Our healthcare system should work for people, not against them. Healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and universal.

Cutting off clean energy projects means YOUR energy bills exploding in cost. It just doesn’t make sense.

Congrats to Colorado teachers Frank and Jim on winning the @harborfreight.com Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence! Their commitment to building up the next generation of highly-skilled Coloradans is something to admire. Very well deserved!

Trump’s illegal war and reckless brinkmanship are driving up the cost of doing business for the people who feed all of us. Diesel and fertilizer prices need to come down now. That means ending the Iran war NOW to give our farmers a break.

MAGA Republicans kicked 34,000 Coloradans off SNAP, including 13,000 children. It’s cruel. It’s inhumane. And it never should’ve happened. We’re fighting to restore food assistance for these Coloradans and the over 5 million Americans who were left behind by MAGA.

Voting is one of the most sacred rights Americans have in this country. MAGA’s attempts to subvert elections and restrict YOUR voting rights won’t go unnoticed or unchallenged.

President Trump is so out of touch. He thinks everything is going perfectly because, for him and his billionaire friends, it is. Just not for you.
054
Senator John Hickenlooper @hickenlooper.senate.gov · 03/10/2026
The only people profiting off this administration are the Trump family, their billionaire friends, and the ultra-wealthy. The Trump family has made $4 billion since he’s been back in office. Their priorities are themselves, not the American people.

Colorado is a better place because of Justice Hart. Our thoughts are with her family and her loved ones. She will be dearly missed.

Senator John Hickenlooper @hickenlooper.senate.gov · 02/10/2026
Her care for others and unwavering commitment to family law and civil justice were evident throughout her career. She was guided by a fundamental belief that every Coloradan, especially the most vulnerable, deserves equal justice under the law, and she lived those values every day.

Senator John Hickenlooper @hickenlooper.senate.gov · 02/10/2026
She was a brilliant lawyer, who understood to her core how the rule of law permeates everything we cherish in America. But what set her off from the dozens of other great lawyers we considered, was her deep and abiding concern for the underserved.

This is the reality of skyrocketing diesel prices caused by Trump’s war with Iran:

Senator John Hickenlooper @hickenlooper.senate.gov · 01/10/2026
More than 7 months into Trump’s illegal war with Iran… Diesel up more than 70%. Gas up more than 50%. Grocery prices climbing steadily with no end in sight. It’s time to bring our troops home and bring down costs.

If there’s one thing Coloradans don’t need right now, it’s another detention facility run by a reckless agency like ICE. We’ve seen how they operate, and this lawlessness shouldn’t have a home in Colorado. coloradonewsline.com/2026/09/29/a...

Republican’s Ratepayer Protection Act has no teeth. It won’t actually protect families like yours from paying more on your energy bills.

The American people can’t afford two more years of MAGA policies – right now they can’t afford much of anything. Gas. Groceries. Housing.

$43.6 billion for Trump’s illegal war in Iran doesn’t take into account the human cost. 19 service members lost. Over 800 injured. Thousands still away from families with no end in sight. END THE WAR NOW!

It’s a compromise. Nobody got everything they wanted. But it’s a real answer, and that beats the uncertainty we have now.

The Protect College Sports Act gives Olympic and non-revenue sports the stability to keep going, and it lets Colorado’s universities plan and invest in athletes across every sport, not just the ones on television.

Senator John Hickenlooper @hickenlooper.senate.gov · 29/09/2026
College athletes have won new rights and a bigger voice, and they deserve both. But the rules changed fast, and the sports that don’t make money were left wondering whether they had a future.

We’ve voted over a dozen times to end the war in Iran and bring the focus back to Americans here at home. Every time, MAGA Republicans failed to meet the moment. It’s way past time for Congress to step up.

We can lower energy prices and protect our climate at the same time. Our climate bill is doing just that but Trump and MAGA Republicans have fought it at every turn, canceling grants, killing jobs, and hurting our climate. Let’s get real about an all-of-the-above approach to energy.

$43.6 billion spent on Trump’s illegal war thousands of miles away. BILLIONS more spent on increased gas, groceries, and housing costs by working families here in America. Your money down the drain with nothing to show for it.

Xi gets the red carpet. Americans get the boot. Instead of lavish receptions for our adversaries, Trump should start treating Americans like they matter and make life affordable again.

Until Trump, USAID was a bipartisan force for good that saved over 90 million lives, including 30 million children under the age of five, just in this century alone. Heartbreaking to think about the lives lost because of that decision.

It’s peak harvesting season, and record-high diesel prices and record-low moisture are having drastic impacts on our farmers. Over $6/gal for diesel makes the business of running a farm unsustainable and drives up the costs for everything else.

Trump’s economy isn’t working for families across Colorado. It’s time to focus on bringing down costs because Coloradans can’t afford the basics right now.

High energy prices are only made worse when the admin refuses to end the war in Iran or fund clean energy projects that bring down your utility bill.

It’s past time to go all-in. We need decisive action that protects our communities and tackles the crisis at its source by cutting emissions and boosting clean energy.

There’s no waiting, delaying, or procrastinating anymore: climate change is here and now. We see it in the historic drought. Raging wildfires. Worsening natural disasters.
