RFK Jr. has peddled and profited off of dangerous conspiracy theories and half truths. He is unqualified to lead HHS. He is unqualified to be in charge our country's health. I am voting NO for his nomination.

For the sake of our children, doctors, researchers, and the health of every American, I voted no today on the confirmation of RFK Jr. to HHS Secretary.

The role of HHS Secretary is life and death. Out of 330M Americans, we can do better than someone who has spent 50 years peddling false statements, misinformation, and bad science. I’m headed to the Senate floor to oppose RFK Jr.’s confirmation.

Ukraine’s future must be in NATO — the most successful defensive alliance in history. Ruling out Ukraine’s NATO membership before peace talks even begin will only embolden Putin’s aggression.

Time and again, Tulsi Gabbard has put the interests of our adversaries over those of the United States. The American people deserve a DNI who is trustworthy and qualified. Tulsi Gabbard is the wrong choice.

The Trump Administration’s efforts to allow ICE to take enforcement action in protected areas are deeply concerning and go against long-standing precedent. Every Coloradan should feel safe to go to school, church, and the doctor without fear of arrest.

I’ve said repeatedly that Tulsi Gabbard is a dangerous and completely unqualified choice to lead our intelligence community. I'm headed to the Senate floor soon to oppose her confirmation to DNI. We must continue demanding more from our country’s highest leaders.

I was glad to help secure funding for a new Eagle County treatment center that will provide critical mental health services to Colorado’s central mountain communities. Mental and behavioral health is health, and it’s time we treat it that way.

From A-Basin to Wolf Creek, Colorado’s National Forests are home to some of the best skiing in the world. @SenJohnBarrasso and I reintroduced our bipartisan SHRED Act to keep ski fees local, bolster CO’s outdoor recreation economy, and help our mountain communities thrive.

In today's confirmation hearing for Jamieson Greer, Trump's Trade Representative nominee, I emphasized that the U.S. cannot tariff our way to prosperity. We must renew critical partnerships & promote economic security through policies like my and @SenBillCassidy's Americas Act.

President Trump repudiated his dangerous proposal to deploy U.S. troops to “take over” the Gaza Strip after his plan received worldwide backlash and criticism. He must also abandon his plan for the U.S. to seize Gaza and eject its two million people to build the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

DOGE’s access to classified data - including the sensitive personal information of Americans - is unprecedented and deeply concerning. I joined my Senate Intel Committee colleagues to demand answers on this major threat to American privacy and national security.

It’s a huge threat to your privacy and national security to let unvetted DOGE bros paw through government payments and Americans’ bank account numbers. I’m leading Intel Committee members to press directly on the White House about this absurd overreach.

Whether they voted for President Trump or not, the American people emphatically do not support sending U.S. soldiers to "take over" the Gaza Strip so that he can build a "Riviera of the Middle East." This is a reckless and dangerous proposal.

The dedicated cybersecurity and tech experts at the CIA will have no trouble finding high-paying work in the private sector. We should do everything we can to keep these talented public servants in our federal workforce instead of driving them away.

I met with @douglascountyco to discuss our work to tackle the most pressing issues affecting CO, including increasingly severe wildfires. Through the use of innovative solutions like wildfire helicopters, Douglas County is helping our state meet these unprecedented challenges.

USAID saves lives and is critical to U.S. national security. Alongside @SenTimKaine and my colleagues, I'm pushing for immediate answers about President Trump’s efforts to eliminate this critical agency.

USAID advances U.S. national security and helps ensure global stability. I’m deeply concerned about Musk and Trump’s attempt to destroy USAID. That's why I led my colleagues in a letter to Secretary of State Rubio demanding answers about this illegal and unprecedented action.

Tulsi Gabbard has repeatedly refused to answer questions that matter to the American people and affect her ability to lead. As the U.S. faces serious security threats at home and abroad, she is a dangerous choice for DNI. I voted NO on her confirmation today.
