Today the Senate ENR Committee will vote on the #COREAct, my bill with @SenatorHick and @RepJoeNeguse to conserve over 400K acres of public lands in our state. Coloradans wrote this bill from the ground up with over a decade of hard work. Let's get it done. https://t.co/fBaJH8RZZw — PolitiTweet.org

Colorado is a leader on solar energy. But uncertainty around solar tariffs threatens the industry & workers in our state at the very moment when we need to ramp up. We're calling on @POTUS to end @CommerceGov’s investigation so we can return to building our clean energy economy. — PolitiTweet.org

I tested positive for COVID today. I'm experiencing minor, cold-like symptoms and plan to work virtually while quarantining at our home in Denver this week. I encourage all Coloradans to get vaccinated and boosted to protect themselves, their families, and our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Everywhere I go, Coloradans tell me that our mental and behavioral health crisis is only getting worse — especially for our kids. We must treat this as essential health care and expand access to prevention, crisis care, and other vital resources. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth — PolitiTweet.org

I can't think of any other wealthy country where seniors have to cut their pills in half or skip doses because their prescriptions are too expensive. It's deeply unfair, and it's past time we empower Medicare to negotiate drug prices to lower costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Wonderful to meet with Winter Olympians and @ProtectWinters to discuss the urgent need to #ActOnClimate. For the athletes I heard from, climate change threatens the places they rely on for their livelihoods. I'm deeply grateful for their work to protect the landscapes we love. https://t.co/GhTWBJUCQK — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I appreciate support from @POTUS for my bipartisan effort to hold Russian oligarchs accountable for enabling Putin's barbarism in Ukraine. When the US government seizes their yachts & private planes, let's make sure the money goes directly to help Ukraine. https://t.co/PGurcrq3E7 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As a result of exceptionally severe drought in Colorado, @USDA has declared farmers and ranchers throughout the entire state eligible for emergency disaster assistance. The deadline to apply is December 8. Learn more here: https://t.co/yhWLYnUkWr — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

There's no reason students enrolled in high-quality postsecondary programs shouldn't have access to federal financial aid. I introduced a bill with @SenRubioPress to get that done, which will lower costs and help more students earn a degree or credential. https://t.co/PYLzsN7suO — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As I have said before, I urge all parties in Ethiopia to ensure critical aid reaches those in need. They must also immediately negotiate a durable political solution to end the needless suffering across Ethiopia. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Putin’s war on Ukraine threatens global food security, especially in countries like Ethiopia that face severe drought, civil conflict, and rely on wheat imports from Ukraine. Grateful for @USDA and @USAID’s efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We must hold Russian oligarchs accountable for enabling Putin's lawless war. My bipartisan bill with @SenRobPortman would direct funds from seized Russian assets to support #Ukraine. Look forward to working with @POTUS to get this done. https://t.co/qjbLp1fl67 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It's clear: climate change is driving longer wildfire seasons and more severe fires in Colorado. If we don't act, we risk handing the next generation a state that none of us recognize. @RepJasonCrow and I introduced legislation to invest in our forests and reduce wildfire risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

19 of the largest U.S. corporations paid little to no income tax in 2021. That's completely unacceptable. @RonWyden, @SenWarren, @SenAngusKing, and I introduced legislation to make the largest businesses finally pay their fair share. https://t.co/51vnnl8Z7b — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This is an important step to address the lasting damage servicemembers face from toxic exposure. Our veterans risked their lives for our country, and we must do more to ensure they have access to the health and disability benefits they earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Pleased that Attorney General Garland supports legislation to ensure the funds from seized Russian assets go "directly to Ukraine." That's exactly what my bill with @SenRobPortman would require. Now let's pass it. https://t.co/rSIyXPHFMr — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Minturn is about to start construction on a new water tank using $1M in federal funding to help the town: 💧Lower water costs 🚰Improve water pressure & quality 🔥Combat wildfires 🏘️Grow sustainably It's wonderful to see federal investment in critical local projects. https://t.co/ji9IRyBKKO — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Insulin shouldn't cost this much. My bill with @SenatorWarnock would cap out of pocket expenses for insulin at $35. RT if you think it's time for every senator to take a vote on our bill and show the American people where they stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As substance use continues to hurt our loved ones, we have to both improve addiction treatment and stop illicit drugs from entering our country and communities. This strategy is a step in the right direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Hatch was a kind and dignified public servant. Susan and I are thinking of his loved ones today. https://t.co/2sbUZC7B0H — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: @SBAgov expanded access to disaster loans for survivors of the Marshall Fire. As Coloradans begin to rebuild, we will keep working to ensure survivors can access federal support to help cover the cost of reconstruction. https://t.co/UmXurvb68l — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Washington is finally investing directly in our communities. This week, I saw how three of the 64 projects I helped secure federal funding for will help spur economic growth in Minturn, Hayden, and Craig. I look forward to seeing more soon. https://t.co/eU9SMjee7x — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We must continue free school meal programs for kids — especially as Coloradans face rising prices at the grocery store. I'll continue working with my colleagues to help schools continue to provide free meals to students and ensure no child goes hungry. https://t.co/2LLXjzl8Il — PolitiTweet.org

RT @alizaidi46: Thank you for your leadership & partnership, @SenatorBennet! — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

.@POTUS just announced important steps to protect our mature and old growth forests. As climate change fuels longer & more severe wildfire seasons across Colorado, we must invest in our forests to mitigate fire risk, create thousands of jobs, & protect our communities. #EarthDay — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Happy #EarthDay🌎 Our outdoors are integral to who we are in Colorado. But as climate change fuels extreme disasters, I worry we won't recognize our state soon. To protect our landscapes and hand down the Colorado that we love to our kids and grandkids, we must #ActOnClimate. https://t.co/pDw9fwg69u — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In no other industrialized country do parents go to the pharmacy window to pick up their kid's prescription, look at the price tag, then walk away because it's too expensive. It's a disgrace. No Coloradan should go bankrupt just to keep their families healthy. — PolitiTweet.org
