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.

Who wants to laugh??? Join us Thursday for the amazing Nancy Norton and the incomparable Laura Menorah. Yours truly will emcee. RSVP secure.actblue.com/donate/wewin...

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.

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

Congrats Senator Elect Matt Ball!

Lets reduce accidents! Heads up and hands on the wheel!

Thank you @Congressman Jason Crow - we’re with you and ready to stand with our neighbors. sentinelcolorado.com/nation-world... #AuroraStrong

www.denverpost.com/2025/01/03/c... Thank you to the Mandatory Reporting Task Force, lots of hard, incredible, thoughtful work went into their report. We hope to implement their recommendations this Session. Sen. Rhonda Fields, Rep. Mary Young and I created the Task Force in 2022.

Colorado is the destination/haven/hub/happy state because we have a gorgeous natural environment we’re working hard to protect, we value diversity, we honor our ancestors, we stand with working families and we respect our freedoms. Hint: there are states with lower taxes. @cohousedem.bsky.social

We need to get our ridership back! Reliable, regional, affordable, frequent Transit is the key to meeting our climate, housing and equity goals.

"We shouldn’t be surprised by people like Jared Polis complying in advance. But we should also be very clear: anyone who suggests that RFK Jr. running HHS is anything but a monumental, catastrophic disaster is a liar, a fool, or quite possibly both."

(Wo)Man the ramparts Colorado!

We passed groundbreaking Prop KK which will tax guns and ammo to fund Victims Services, Youth and Veterans Mental Health.
