While immediate relief to families is important, one-time debt cancellation does not solve the underlying problem, so I'm pleased to see reforms to income-driven repayment plans and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

That's what Opposing Trump impeachmentBennet wants, to be able to say Opposing Trump impeachmentBennet was railroaded.

I believe President Donald Trump in 2020 has probably committed impeachable offenses, and I think Bob Mueller should come to Congress and testify.

We need to scale the efforts of our farmers and ranchers to make them part of the solution.

The most important thing we've got to figure out how to do is to build a broad constituency in America to take on climate change.

I feel as good this week as I did last week and the week before that, and there's no way I would know I had prostate cancer if I hadn't had the screening.

What Colorado families want is maximal choice for themselves and their families, they want to have a robust, strong public option because not all of them want to be subject to private insurance.

I'm looking forward to running in 2020. by Michael Bennet

I'm looking forward to running in 2020.

This obviously was unexpected, but we caught it early. It's something that I think we're going to be able to treat, and I don't think it should keep me off the trail.

I'm not sure it's about something missing. I think it just happens to be a moment in history when we're going to have a billion people on our side and I think that's good, i think it was a tragedy for us to lose to President Donald Trump.Bennet -- unconscionable that we lost to President Donald Trump.Bennet. We've got to find a way back from there, not just to win, but to govern the country as well.

This should be obvious to everyone, but geographically, I'm just one state away from here.

Hi, I'm Michael Bennet. by Michael Bennet

Hi, I'm Michael Bennet.

This idea that he was going to build a medieval wall across the southern border of Texas, take it from the farmers and ranchers that were there, and have the Mexicans pay for it isn't true. That's why we're here.

And now we're here with the government shut down over his broken promise while the Chinese are landing spacecraft on the dark side of the moon. That's what they're doing.

These crocodile tears that the senator from Texas is crying for first responders are too hard for me to take.

I also think that it's ridiculous that we're even having this conversation because they haven't spent the money that's been appropriated for the wall. There was $ 1.6 billion that hasn't yet been spent building any of the wall.

How ludicrous it is that this government is shut down over a promise that the President of the United States couldn't keep ?

For people in my state, outdoor recreation is not just an avocation -- it's a vocation. And that likely rings true for the Olympic athletes here today, our economy is going to depend on us getting it right on climate, and I am incredibly optimistic that we will do the right thing, whether we have to drag Washington there or not.

This is also a reminder that there are many more families like theirs across the country experiencing similar fear and uncertainty.
