Happy Birthday to the National Park Service! 🏔️

National Parks were America's best idea – but this administration is threatening to undo it all by slashing funding, firing park workers, and denying climate change.

We’ll keep standing strong for our public lands in Colorado.

While Donald Trump gaslights and golfs, his economic failures are making life more and more unbearable for working Americans.

The "Golden Age" that Trump promised has turned into appalling jobs numbers and paying for his latest tariffs at the checkout line.

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

“Trump, in true authoritarian fashion, fired the labor statistics chief for doing her job and telling the truth — which the president didn’t want to hear.”

Confronted with evidence of his own failures, the president could've changed direction. He instead found it easier to fire his labor statistics chief.

This is a grave loss for every American.

Public media has long provided vital information to communities nationwide — especially for rural areas.

This Father’s Day, I’m thinking of the families torn apart by Trump’s cruel deportation policies.

Innocent kids are paying the price — simply because their dads showed up for work, were near a Home Depot, or were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This cruelty must end.

Watching Republicans try not to talk about a US Senator being manhandled, pushed to the floor, subdued and then forced out of a press conference--after wanting to ask questions of a US government official, might be the most chilling moment of the last 5 months.
