I take no pleasure in the rush for every partisan-aligned state to gerrymander. It's very bad for democracy and will need to be undone as part of the de-Trumpification era that will follow the present madness.
For today, though, we can't just unilaterally disarm. #copolitics

I have a conspiracy theory that Kid Rock and Macaulay Culkin were grown in the same test tube as some kind of multigenerational pop culture psyop.
I invite experts to prove me wrong.

It is truly staggering to contemplate how much long-term damage is being done to society right now because Elon Musk can't handle having a trans kid.

Coloradans want lower costs and affordable health care. Today’s bills failed to address skyrocketing health care premiums caused by the Republican “Big Bad Bill.” So I voted NO.

If free buses are "socialist" then so are...
THE FREE ROADS YOU DRIVE ON EVERY DAY.
Maybe neither of these are actually socialist concepts?
Maybe there's no difference between fare-free transit and not charging your Visa every time you pull out of your driveway?

It’s mind boggling to me that Congressional Republicans would be willing to run for re-election as “the party that doubled your health insurance costs.” #copolitics www.denverpost.com/2025/10/27/c...
Health insurance premiums to double next year on Colorado’s individual market
The monthly “sticker price” of health insurance is rising, and households will have to pay a larger share of that monthly cost than they have since the pandemic.

"Antifa" has been designated a domestic terror organization despite the lack of any organization.
All protesters are now referred to as "Antifa."
Therefore all protesters are now...terrorists.
We are on the brink of democracy's destruction.

In the early 1930s, the SA and SS had a strategy of marching in force through leftist neighborhoods of major German cities to incite violence which they then used to justify criminalizing their opposition.

What I will say about the Mike Johnson rumors is there is definitely a fetish out there for diminutive gentlemen with a head flat enough to hold your beer.

MAGA is a textbook fascist movement.
MAGA's demand that we not call them fascist is an inherently fascist demand.
Calling them fascist is constitutional and does not wish harm on anyone. It means we disagree politically.
This is about the freedom to disagree. #copolitics

I was shocked and staggering from watching Iryna Zarutska's murder play over and over on X. It was every other post for days.
Then came Charlie Kirk's gruesome murder. Over and over.
Millions of people just got hit with some really traumatic programming and it's going to have consequences.
