When Customs and Border Protection and Commander Gregory Bovino move into town, so does Whistlemania.
These activists create and distribute thousands of 3D-printed whistles, and their piercing cries are used to signal that immigration agents are nearby. And it's working.

A small business owner in Steamboat Springs just told me their premiums are jumping $2,400-$2,600/month because the ACA subsidies weren’t extended.
That’s not a typo. Nearly $2,600 MORE per month. For a $7K deductible plan.
This is what happens when healthcare subsidies expire.

Snapped this mid trail run! The last two years have been filled with running for office.
I hadn’t been running as much as I’d like, and that’s been frustrating.
But giving myself grace has felt really good this summer.
And when things feel heavy, we should give ourselves a little more grace ❤️

This 4th of July, I marched in parades with gratitude for the people who make this place special. I also carried a heavy heart.
And still, I believe in us. Not because every thing is perfect. Because when you love something, you fight for it. That’s what patriotism looks like to me.

I was invited to join a roundtable with Congressman Joe Neguse and then attended his town hall.
