Proud to have the endorsement of State Senator Tom Sullivan.

He's a leader in CO for his work in gun violence prevention, a true public servant, & I'm grateful to have his support while we fight for a safer CO.

I'll always fight to make CO a safer & better place we can all call home.

Workers plan strike at massive JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley | Colorado Newsline Workers at the JBS-owned meatpacking plant in Greeley plan to begin a labor strike Monday amid stalling contract negotiations.

Workers at the JBS-owned meatpacking plant in Greeley plan to begin a labor strike Monday. The union representing 3,800 workers at the plant, one of the largest in the country, voted last month to authorize an unfair labor practices strike.

Honored to have the endorsement of former State legislator and current County Commissioner Rhonda Fields.

She's a fierce advocate for gun violence prevention, protecting victims, and advancing public safety. I'm inspired by her work and service to Colorado.

Plaza Mayo in Buenos Aires with the Capitol in the background at night. In front, around 100 people hold up neon green hangers and signs that say "adios."

Plaza Mayo in Buenos Aires with the Capitol in the background at night. In front, around 100 people hold up neon green hangers and signs that say "adios."

In December 2020, when the abortion ban repeal failed in the Senate in Argentina, campaigners hung the name of every no voter from neon hangers (perchas) in the trees around the Capitol & called them "Senador Percha."
Where are our "Senator Pedophile" & "Senator Murder" signs?

And Tom Mauser has been a ceaseless and effective advocate for gun violence prevention legislation here at the Colorado state house and in Washington D.C. honoring his son Daniel who was killed at Columbine.

CDC vaccine committee drops push to stop recommending mRNA Covid-19 shots, for now | CNN A group of experts that advises the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on its vaccine recommendations has suspended an anticipated push to stop recommending mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines amid growing concerns inside the Trump administration over its political risks, people familiar with the matter told CNN on Wednesday.

Republicans promoted dangerous anti-vaccine rhetoric.

Now they’re worried it might hurt them in the midterms.

Backtracking when the polling turns south doesn’t undo the damage.

If they truly care about protecting lives, there’s a simple first step: fire RFK Jr.

Phil is the fighter Colorado needs. He is backed by grassroots Coloradans, not out of state billionaires like Michael Bloomberg. #PhilforGovernor

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

Imagine your whole ideology being we have no ideology. We stand for nothing - or at least nothing we will admit.

Now imagine that under fascism.

Follow the $$$$$. @bennet.senate.gov is supported by out of state billionaires and in-state fat cats and dark money who are Big charter school proponents and know that he's one too. And Bennet is not transparent about this. Vouchers are not far behind.

Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war on Iran has successfully buried media coverage of the Epstein Files.

Do not stop talking about this atrocity.

War crimes do not cover sex crimes.

Release the files, prosecute the abusers, sentence the guilty, protect the harmed.

I'm filing my 59th lawsuit against the Trump administration to protect students' privacy.

Trump admin's actions goes against long-standing protections of student privacy. It creates an undue burden to colleges and universities.

I will always stand up for what’s right and fight for Colorado.

While Trump wages war in the Middle East, his lackeys are waging election subversion here at home. First it was Fulton County in Georgia. Now they’ve embroiled Maricopa County in Arizona. And it won’t stop there. My write-up in the comments.
