Hetel Doshi is running for Colorado attorney general. I knew nothing about her until, out of curiousity, I went to her kickoff today. Check out this video. Then you'll know who she is.

Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb is right: @SenatorBennet should not have to resign his seat to run for governor. www.denverpost.com/2025/04/16/m...
Of course, Bennet can campaign for governor while serving in Senate (Letters)
“I write in response to The Denver Post’s ridiculous editorial this week calling on Sen. Michael Bennet to resign his seat to run for governor.” — Wellington E. Webb, Denver

A must read. The West likes to tell the feds to "get out -- but give us more money" but what Trump's cuts mean for those communities that cheered his election but now are on the chopping block. www.denverpost.com/2025/03/18/t...
Opinion: Utah wanted the feds to “get out,” but Trump’s draconian cuts are hitting home
Westerners love all that financial support coming in from the agencies they profess to hate. They rely on the federal government for so much more than they often acknowledge.

Why buy the cow when you get the Schumer milk for free …
Dear Democrats: If the Republicans want a vote from you, make them beg you for it.

Beg. Until then, do nothing.

Have a price and make it very high. Explain your offer well before the vote to the public.

Not this. You gave it for nada.

The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Tonight was my first time at the governor's mansion since Gov. Jared Polis took over in 2019. Miss those get togethers I witnessed under govs Owens, Ritter and Hick. But this Colorado Concern party featured Gateaux cookies! #copolitics

Such as Pam Anderson in 2022. Even the Democratic strategist on CBS 4 said she was the best and she was. But Trump. Damn him. #copolitics
I've been involved in politics long enough to know better but the best candidate doesn't win in a surprising number of elections and that's disappointing.
