The shooting today at Evergreen High School is terrifying on every level. When we send our families off to school, they deserve to be safe.

Let us work together to end this needless gun violence.

I wonder how many Washington insiders added Intel to their stock portfolio this last week.

In the past, the federal government has taken stakes in American companies during wars or economic crises. But now the government's motivation has more to do with the race for AI chips and technology.

I'm missing the excitement and joy from last weekend where we had Labor Day to enjoy the speculation.

trump being an FBI informant has to be the absolute lowest point in some branding person's career.

We can't expect heroes from DC to save us. Colorado Democrats are rebuilding and leading the way for how we reach people and make their lives better.

We're fighting for working people: your freedom to live how you want, make your own choices, and get a fair shot to succeed.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is bad news for rural nurses like Amber Leonard and their patients. It puts rural hospitals in danger of closing and risks worsening the quality of care in their communities.

Because of Colorado Republicans, six rural hospitals could shut down and 150,000 Coloradans could lose care. They voted for this. www.denverpost.com/2025/06/22/c...
Medicaid cuts in Trump tax bill could close 6 rural hospitals in Colorado, report warns
The hospitals are spread across the state, including three on the Western Slope, one in the San Luis Valley and two on the Eastern Plains.

Ryan Warner continues his excellent reporting in this piece.
“They're militarizing ICE,” says Rep. Brittany Pettersen, and “terrorizing the immigrant community.”

Democrats know that building the world we want to live in takes hard work and dedication.

It does not take more ICE and less legal autonomy. You cannot force the society you want.

The only reason you should be going to Albertson's or Safeway right now is if you need a prescription or if you're supporting the workers on strike.

Don't cross the picket line. Stand in solidarity with UFCW Local 7 members.

Today we honor Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom and a call to action. As Democrats, we stand for justice, equity, and the fight to end systemic racism. Let’s celebrate, reflect, and keep building a freer, fairer future. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #JusticeForAll

Ending 988 is a gross and sadistic move.

Please - check your registration. Vote all these Republicans out. They are actively harming society.
June 18, 2025 at 10:09 PM
These are facts!
Helping with flooding, tornadoes, and other disasters is what the national guard is supposed to be doing not protecting ICE as they tear apart families.

There appears to be a movement to hold a July 4th protest. I am looking for information.

An Independence Day Protest seems very on point.
