All things climate, energy, environmental policy. @SenatorBennet. Former @EnvDefenseFund. Views are my own.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

If my Republican colleagues had their way, veterans who have been raped, are victims of incest, or whose lives are at risk couldn’t access abortion care at the VA, if they want it.

It’s appalling -- that's why I'm on the Senate floor to stop them. https://t.co/XRQ5pDkUi2

For too long, taxpayers have been forced to foot the bill to clean up oil and gas drilling sites.

I'm fighting to fix this broken system and ensure that companies are held accountable for cleaning up the messes they leave behind.

After the terrible rail disaster in East Palestine, I'm pushing to suspend the Uinta Basin Railway Project until the Biden Administration evaluates the risk to our communities and environment from transporting waxy crude oil alongside the Colorado River.

In a new letter, @SenatorBennet, @SenatorHick, @MartinHeinrich & @SenatorLujan call on @BLMNational to cut methane waste on federal and tribal lands by ending the wasteful practices of routine venting and flaring.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

The Dolores River is vital to Southwest Colorado. I spoke today before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources to advocate for this thoughtful compromise written and supported by Coloradans to manage and preserve the river for the next generation.

[Susanne Brooks @susannebrooks]

The very best

TODAY IS THE DAY. TIME TO SEND @MICHAELBENNET BACK TO THE SENATE!!!

#COSEN

[Susanne Brooks @susannebrooks]

Colorado proud

[Olivia Bercow @oliviabercow]

.@MichaelBennet giving his victory speech!! So proud to be on this team. #cosen #copolitics

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

National election days are stark reminders of the injustice of the nearly 700,000 DC residents, who pay the same federal taxes as residents of states, having no voting representation in Congress and only limited, revocable local self-governing authority.

[Susanne Brooks @susannebrooks]

@BobbyAndres Counting on Georgia!

[Craig Hughes @CraigHughesinCO]

This entire exchange on guns is jaw-dropping. O'Dea tries to completely ignore @jaketapper question about why 18 yr olds should have assault weapons (but not handguns) then..it gets worse. Tapper's reaction to the ridiculousness at the 1:26 mark is amazing #copolitics

[Susanne Brooks @susannebrooks]

Colorado: send this man back to Washington!

This debate shows what everyone who's worked w/ @MichaelBennet knows: he's smart, substantive, experienced. His answer on rural Colorado—spending time in 64 counties, serving on Ag Cmt, representing both Dems AND Republicans—is evidence of why he should be reelected. #copolitics

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

This is a historic day for Colorado, and I want to thank @GovofCO, @RepJoeNeguse, @SenatorHick, @SecVilsack and so many others for their leadership to make it possible.

This designation means more Americans will come to appreciate the extraordinary history of Camp Hale.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

Today was for the 10th Mountain veterans — from WWII to Afghanistan — for whom Camp Hale has become a refuge and a place of peace. With this designation, we offer their service the dignity of public remembrance.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

For almost a decade, Colorado has led the nation in limiting methane emissions to clean our air and protect our climate.

@EPA should take a page out of Colorado’s book – and implement strong methane rules.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

I won't give up on the #COREAct, and @SenatorHick and I will keep fighting to get it through the Senate.

Until then, @POTUS should use his presidential authorities to protect Camp Hale and the Tenmile Range as a national monument for future generations.

More than 1.25 million Coloradans rely on co-ops for electricity.

We secured funding in the #InflationReductionAct to support rural co-ops in their transition to clean energy, which will lower energy costs and create jobs in rural communities.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

Camp Hale and all of the landscapes protected under the #COREAct are central to who we are as Coloradans.

I welcome @SecVilsack's support for protecting our public lands as I keep fighting to get the #COREAct over the finish line.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

The House just passed the Inflation Reduction Act.

There are so many important parts of this bill that will make a meaningful difference for Colorado & the country, but I want to highlight a few that I fought hard to secure in the final version as it heads to @POTUS: 🧵⬇️(1/12)

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

From lowering drug costs to fighting climate change, the Inflation Reduction Act tackles the issues Colorado families face every day.

Great to celebrate this historic bill in Denver today with @SenatorHick and Coloradans who know how much this will mean for our state.
