My Colorado Senators, Bennet and Hickenlooper, have voted for six and seven of Trump’s cabinet nominees, respectively, so far.
Have they not read the #Project2025 document? Why are they complicit in anything that Trump does? This collaborative cop-out will end up losing them their power, respect and maybe their country.
Ballotpedia is a great resource for congressional voting.
Hickenlooper voted for Bessent for Treasury. Bessent is a hedge fund manager. He has taken over and shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Both voted for Burgum for Interior. Burgum actively supports fossil fuel extraction and will open up BLM land for it. Interior has been placed on the National Security Council, which puts Burgum in the position of doing whatever fossil fuel corporations want.
Both voted for Duffy for Transportation. Duffy is a reality TV star. He is a climate change denier, saying that the warming is coming from the sun, not fossil fuels.
Both voted for Wright for Energy. Wright is CEO of the second largest fracking company in North America!
Both voted for Collins for VA. Collins is a climate change denier. He is a Trump attorney who has fought against accepting that Biden won the 2020 election.
Bennet and Hickenlooper voted for Rattcliffe for CIA. Rattcliffe is well know as the controversial DNI in Trump’s first term. He was central to obfuscating Russian influence in US elections.
It is clear that Colorado’s senators support continuing fossil fuel extraction and its damage to the climate and the Earth’s ecosystems. This should be kept in mind when they are up for re-election.
