Trump cycle meme, wherein he makes a stupid decision, something bad happens, he convinces his followers that the problem is now magically solved, the action is reversed, and the cycle repeats

A tweet from Jared Polis reads: The “tariff hammer” winds up hitting your own hand rather than the nail. Tariffs are bad outright because they lead to higher prices and destroy American manufacturing. Trade is inherently good because both parties emerge better off from a consensual transaction. While sanctions (Russia, Iran) can have a geopolitical national security role, it should always be considered eyes wide open that sanctions harm both ourself and others Jack Nicholson nodding meme

Strong Chinook Winds caused some bizarre jumps in temperatures overnight. This is from my home weather station. Wild! #cowx

Caught some Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds today outside of Breckenridge. It was a windy day! #cowx

Decided to periodically post some of my favorite mountain pics as a break from the chaos.

This is Cronin Peak, 13,872’. There has been quite a bit of snow since this was taken, but it was mostly patchy the day that we climbed it. I love the warm glow of the snow capped peaks in the early morning.

He has been historically very pro-vaccine, regardless of how our state ranks with vaccination rates

I was expecting greater things from the Dawn of Dark Jared, tbh
A screenshot of a tweet from Jared Polis on August 5th, 2024, in which he is smiling in front of a background of superimposed patriotic elements, such as bald eagles, American flags, and the Statue of Liberty. His eyes have been covered with red lens flares. The tweet reads, "The dawn of Dark Jared".

Ok funny joke, guys, now please give the Governor his phone back
A tweet from Jared Polis that reads: I’m excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov . He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I’m most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health. Before you mock him or disagree, I want to share with you some quotes that if he follows through show why I’m excited: “Level the playing field for Americans internationally on drug costs…cap drug prices so that companies can’t charge Americans substantially more than Europeans pay." YES! Colorado currently has an application just SITTING at FDA for us to import low-cost prescription drugs from Canada and we just need their approval. "In some categories, there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA that are – that have to go, that are not doing their job, they're not protecting our kids," YES! The entire nutrition regime is dominated by big corporate ag rather than human health and they do more harm than good “We’ve got to get off of pesticide-intensive agriculture.” YES! We have tried unsuccessfully to better protect people and pollinators from harmful pesticides here in Colorado and we need all the help we can get to take on big chemical companies and improve human health and the environment! For our pollinators and our people! 🦋 He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues.
