Residents of #ColoradoSprings and #CD5, come meet Joe.
I promise y'all he is super down to earth and cares about our community. His community.

This Saturday morning, come have a cup of joe with Joe ahead of the CD-5 Candidate forum. Come chat, hear his vision for the role, tell him what's on your mind and pick his brain about what an effective representative in Congress will do for our district.

So honored to march with @reaganforcolorado.bsky.social at this year’s Veterans Day parade!
It was one of those moments where the human side of policy hits you in the chest. 🥹

In a dizzying turn of events, #Trump has decided that instead of blatantly ignoring an order, the admin will instead drag their feet like a defiant toddler being told to take a nap.

Folks, NDAs aren't legally binding when your orders are illegal. This is just a scare tactic to get compliance and keep people from going to their lawyers and Congresspeople to expose what's going on.

We (collectively) lost the plot.
Got complacent.
And now everything’s a dumpster fire.
But here’s the thing 👉🏼 we still have hands, hearts, and buckets.
So grab one.
There’s work to do.

A federal court in Chicago has ordered sweeping new limits on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the Midwest, ruling that agents repeatedly violated federal law and a binding consent decree by arresting people without warrants.”

🧠 I’m so tired of my fellow white folks bending over backward to explain away systemic racism.
Occam’s razor applies here:
It’s systemic racism.
Anything else would require statistics and history to look the other way. 👀
The mental gymnastics needed to confirm their bias must be exhausting. 🫠

It’s a strange kind of leadership where:
✨ The wealthy dine at high-dollar “donor” dinners.
✨ Ordinary workers go without paychecks and basic necessities.
✨ Power circles congratulate themselves while people scramble to make ends meet.
Sounds familiar, right? 🤔
