Competing with China requires serious investment, strong alliances, and holding Beijing accountable — not presidential pageantry. Glad to join this statement with my colleagues.

This should be a wake-up call: we urgently need an independent agency with the authority to set and enforce real rules for AI and Big Tech.

An illness, car accident, or family emergency can push a family out of their home and into a cycle of poverty. As a former school superintendent, I saw firsthand how housing instability affects children and their families. That's why I’m championing the Eviction Crisis Act to create an emergency rental assistance program and help families stay securely housed. bennet.senate.gov/2026/09/25…

We need a cop on the beat to protect the safety of the American people from the risks of AI. That’s why I’m introducing an independent agency to oversee AI innovation and ensure Big Tech companies play by the rules.

I'm proposing an independent federal agency to regulate AI and big tech. We need to act before serious harm occurs and hold these companies accountable when they break the rules.

We eliminated measles in this country more than 30 years ago. We shouldn’t be fighting it again because this administration refuses to take science seriously. Colorado’s kids and families deserve better.

Trump’s pandering to Xi – pausing Taiwan arms sales, relaxing chip export controls on China, cutting joint exercises with South Korea, and failing to support Japan amid Beijing’s economic aggression – makes America less safe. Congress must rein him in and codify efforts to deter China, such as my legislation to bolster U.S.-Asia intelligence cooperation.

AI companies need to face real consequences, including the power to pause unsafe technology and impose serious penalties of up to 15% of global revenue. It’s time for an independent agency with the authority to regulate Big Tech and AI, protect the American people, and keep pace with innovation.

Thank you to CiviCO for a great conversation about strengthening civic engagement and trust in our democracy. We're counting on Colorado's future leaders to join us in building an economy that works for everyone.

Devastating to see firsthand the impact of this year’s historic drought and record-low snowpack on Blue Mesa Reservoir’s water levels. I was glad to hear from Western Slope water leaders about how they are working together to respond and how I can support them moving forward.

CMU is proof that education built for today’s economy opens pathways to good-paying jobs across Colorado. Great to learn more about the CMU Tech apprenticeship program and how it’s preparing students with the skills they need to build careers and earn a living wage.

Tonight begins Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. To Coloradans observing tonight and tomorrow, I wish you a meaningful fast and a peaceful time of prayer and reflection.

Lake San Cristobal is the namesake and crown jewel of Lake City, a community that has shown great resiliency in the face of the devastating Elk Fire. 
This weekend, I spoke with local leaders and federal partners about how we can work together to protect this vital natural resource and the watershed that downstream communities depend on.

The Trump administration has given Coloradans every reason to question actions that could affect our elections. Days after the Supreme Court blocked its new restrictions on mail ballots, USPS deployed private security guards to Denver’s largest mail processing facility with little explanation. USPS needs to explain why they’re there. Coloradans deserve confidence that nothing will interfere with their right to vote. cpr.org/2026/09/18/usps-priv…

Coloradans who lost their homes and livelihoods to these devastating fires should be able to count on the federal government to help them recover. The Trump administration’s decision to deny this assistance will make it harder for families to rebuild and for communities to protect themselves from the next disaster. I urge the administration to reverse this decision and provide Coloradans the resources they need. I will keep fighting to make sure our communities get the support they deserve to recover and rebuild. cpr.org/2026/09/19/fema-deni…

I visited Mexico City last week, where I met senior U.S. embassy and Mexican officials to advance intelligence, security, and trade cooperation. The trip reaffirmed my commitment to this relationship, which is crucial to ensuring security and prosperity on both sides of the border.

In a big win for Colorado’s early childhood educators, I'm thrilled to see the SEED Act finally signed into law! I’m glad to get this over the finish line for teachers working hard to make sure our youngest Coloradans have what they need to succeed in the classroom.

This attack on free speech is unacceptable and undemocratic. Journalists have long held those in power accountable and kept the American people informed. We must defend these freedoms with everything we have.

The American people deserve real guardrails on crypto. The Clarity Act is weak legislation that will only enable the President to continue lining his pockets while in office.

Great to see the House pass our SEED Act, delivering relief for early childhood educators who cover classroom costs out of their own pockets. As a former Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, I hope the President signs this bill immediately so those who teach our youngest Coloradans can get the support they deserve. bennet.senate.gov/2026/09/17…
