    . and I called for Sec Mnuchin to withdraw from the Riyadh conference a week ago. This is a step, but far from a sufficient response. The Administration should be using all levers of influence to uncover answers about Khashoggi’s disappearance.

    Just met with and and we have decided, I will not be participating in the Future Investment Initiative summit in Saudi Arabia.

    We need to be honest about the GOP tax cuts. They won’t pay for themselves & they’ll make it harder to invest in our kids and grandkids the way our parents invested in us.

    Political & business leaders across the world have withdrawn from the Riyadh conference following the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. It’s time Treasury Sec @stevemnuchin1 does the same.

    Building communities where kids can learn & grow is one of the fundamental promises of our government. Taking away health care from 48,000 kids in Colorado & sending even more to school hungry is an abdication of that responsibility & decency.

    Health insurance should not be a scam. Forcing families to choose between affordability and essential services—like ER visits and prescription drugs—is a false choice. That’s why I’m joining to protect Coloradans’ health insurance & roll back .

    We have exported the mindless, empty, counterproductive, unimaginative, meaningless partisanship from the floor of the Senate to the United States Supreme Court. We should be ashamed that we’re doing that to an independent branch of our government.

    If we still had a 60-vote threshold, it’s hard to imagine the Senate moving forward with Kavanaugh’s nomination w/o disclosing his full record. Without giving the minority time to review that record. Without a thorough & complete FBI investigation that interviewed all witnesses.

    I worry what Kavanaugh’s confirmation will mean for Coloradans. For those w/ preexisting conditions. For kids w/ asthma amid pollution. For same-sex couples. For women w/ a right to make their own health care decisions. For survivors of sexual assault bravely coming forward.
