Winter Days continued ❄️ Today I wanted to highlight Senator Winter’s SB21-260 Sustainability of the Transportation System. Thanks to her hard work, we now have dedicated sustainable transportation funding, including supports for multimodal transportation and electrification.

Come on RTD - so frustrating. A robust Transit system is critical for our working families, for our climate and for a livable Front Range.

Winter Days ❄️ Today, we honor the life and legacy of Senator Faith Winter — a true champion for Colorado families. Faith fought tirelessly year after year to deliver Paid Family Leave, and when the fight hit roadblocks, she took it directly to the voters. Because of her unwavering determination,

This Thanksgiving 🦃 I’m grateful for: @Senator Mark Kelly (My) @ Congressman Jason Crow Survivors Seeking Justice ICE protestors Immigrant rights activists and lawyers Food bank volunteers, workers and donors Economic blackout participants (Help me complete this list)

The We Ain’t Buying It coalition explained that “pulling your dollars from companies that don’t stand with us and redirecting them to businesses that do” is an essential part of defending democracy. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

@bgrueskin.bsky.social ICE roughed up protestors & sprayed them in the face with pepper spray in Durango *and are now admitting the man and his two children were arrested by mistake.* www.denverpost.com/2025/10/31/c...

I get about a dozen trick or treaters so I’m ready with 4 bags of candy :) Maya Headfelov and Ophelia Payne are my favorite headstones we’ve made.

Denver Rec Ctrs will be feeding kids because of the SNAP cut off. The illegal, unnecessary and cruel SNAP cut off. There is money for the program and funds already allocated specifically so folks don’t go hungry. Thank you for stepping up Denver. www.9news.com/article/news...

1/3 Starting Nov 1, millions will lose access to food assistance. 40% of SNAP benefits go to children. This decision is cruel and avoidable. If you’re able, support the local food banks and community orgs in this post.

It’s time to vote! 🗳️ It’s too late to mail your ballots so hit those dropboxes! I’ve put together my ballot guide with the candidates and measures I’m backing this election. However you vote, make sure your voice is heard!

Both sidesing at the NYT must be exhausting. What a dismal disservice to the American people. “Critics are outraged over President Trump’s demolition of the East Wing to make way for his $300 million ballroom. Others say it was time for change.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

1/2 “What is the point of transit-oriented development if it is just development?” said state Rep. Meg Froelich, a Democrat representing Englewood who chairs the House Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee. “We need reliable transit to have transit-oriented development.”

1/2 “Five of the children were killed amid custody disputes between their parents, highlighting custody litigation as a high-risk period for families experiencing domestic violence, which was noted in last year’s report as well.” www.cpr.org/2025/10/21/c...

1/2 40 years ago, I was a 20-something year old history teacher in NYC 📖 Messages like this remind me how powerful education truly is. Teaching shapes lives. It matters. My fellow teachers know, we teach for love and it’s no surprise that this made my day!

Millions of Coloradans are coming together to say loud and clear: America has no kings. Power belongs to the people. Find a protest near you at NoKings.org and be part of the movement. 🗽

This October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I think it’s important to understand the research coming from @everytown showing how common sense gun laws help prevent unthinkable tragedies that are all too common realities for many women.

At a gubernatorial candidate forum over the weekend, state Sen. Mark Baisley commented, at length, that his LGBTQ colleagues in the legislature have a "sickness in their minds" and are "in rebellion against God." This is, at the very least, cause for censure. @cosendem.bsky.social

Take this down and apologize. You are putting lives in danger because of your hasty, irresponsible and inaccurate reporting. Actually, you should do a front page story on how you got it wrong, why, and the consequences of your actions.

Our country was attacked. Not some of us, not only those on the right or the left. We’re forever changed. 9/11 is always a sad day, I think about my friends Calvin, Doug and Tom and their families. Honor the first responders, my local firehouse that lost so many that day. Never forget.

Join us Sunday! I Know I know I love the Broncos too but we were asked to move to the afternoon to accommodate a morning event :)

1/2 I will never get over this. Wisconsin is not doing this and you can bet other states are not. Strike 3 @ Gov Jared Polis you have now praised RFK Jr, proactively complied with ICE, and now added a terrible, divisive private citizen to the 9/11 half mast.

www.denver7.com/follow-up/ne... Thank you @disabilitylaw.bsky.social Honored to be a Champion of Disability Justice.

Much needed action on an unacceptable backlog. Survivors deserve justice! Thank you Miranda, your courage is inspiring! Proud of our work Sen. Mike Weissman and Rep. Jenny Willford. www.westword.com/news/colorad...

Tomorrow we wear orange. @momsdemand.bsky.social @giffords.org

Uber sent push notifications yesterday to its users in Illinois telling them to call their state reps and oppose transit funding. The bill then stalled in the House so now CTA is on track to close 4/8 'L' lines and discontinue 74/127 bus routes, absent emergency action from the legislature.

We ran this legislation because states with abortion bans also have terrible maternal health outcomes. ER teams need to provide life-saving care without political interference. @senadorajulie.bsky.social

Shocker: Oil and Gas companies are ignoring our 2022 law requiring chemical disclosures. Additional stunner: The Commission formerly known as the Oil & Gas Commission has dropped the ball on enforcement and compliance. www.9news.com/article/news...

Quit pretending DOGE cuts are somehow methodical - they are indiscriminate and capricious. As legislators we need to hold our ground. Proud to pass protections for LGBTQ folks, new Americans, immigrants, the environment, abortion care, plus gun violence prevention. www.propublica.org/article/utah...

A rideshare picked up a 13yr old girl who was climbing out a window with her blanket at 2am and delivered her to her rapist in Aurora. CO. Her adult male assaulter called a RIDESHARE to deliver her home. Uber says they’ll leave the state rather than address safety. coloradosun.com/2025/04/23/u...

Our bill HB25-1001 on Wage Theft is on the way to the Senate. Wage theft not only hurts workers who have to forego healthcare, or rent, or groceries but it hurts good employers who are underbid by unscrupulous businesses. @Monica Duran @swcarpenters @JessieDanielson #coleg #copolitics

Our bill, HB25-1286 Protecting Workers from Extreme Temperatures, has been tabled for this year. The fight isn't over. Every worker deserves a safe environment. We'll be back next year. Rep. Elizabeth Velasco and Sen. Lisa Cutter Sen Mike Weissman @vocesunidasorg.bsky.social #coleg #copolitics

If you’re in the neighborhood…

What are potential state and federal responses to all that is happening? Join us for a conversation on Saturday. Sign up and submit questions please.

I love going out in Aurora - so many good restaurants! I’ve never felt unsafe. Maybe because I’ve worked with J6 participants, a colleague who dropped his gun out of his pants in the lobby and another who left his loaded gun in the bathroom?

Late night passing Wage Theft out of Finance Committee with Maj Leader Duran and killing a bad bill in State Affairs. We also passed important safety requirements for Gun Shows from @seancamacho.bsky.social and Rep Joseph.

Maybe you wanted access to healthcare but don’t worry ladies the NFL will help you get flag football youtu.be/GsqhcNnxfv4?...

Great @pwhlpa.bsky.social game today! Lots of Minnesota Frost Fans and junior girls’ hockey teams in the house. So fun! With @briannatitone.bsky.social
