The MAGA regime wants US troops against US citizens. Colorado will be in their sights. In just 5 weeks, local voters can elect city councilors to protect our cities, our freedoms, & our safety, instead of those who will give in to military takeovers. #VoteLocal www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

This shutdown is on them.

Donald Trump and Colorado Republicans would rather shut down the government than fund your health care. Health care costs for millions, including tens of thousands in Colorado, could jump 75% in January. Up to 190k Coloradans risk losing insurance and rural hospitals could close.

Cookout time, and showing up for our city council and school board candidates! #VoteLocal

Register. Vote. Protect our democracy at Iwillvote.com 🇺🇸

Our country has a choice right now. We must choose love.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

On this day in 1991, Clarence Thomas’ hearings began. We didn’t listen to the brilliant Black woman who told us the truth. 33 years later, his seat still stains the Court. Maybe it’s time we started listening to the women in the room. #BelieveWomen

We grieve alongside the Evergreen High School community. No student, educator, or family should face the terror of gun violence at school. Together with JCEA, we demand meaningful action to end this epidemic. Read joint Statement: https://bit.ly/4n04Z25

Colorado deserves better than someone who is going to put billionaires before you. Barbara Kirkmeyer is too dangerous and extreme for Colorado.

ICYMI: Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer, who once wanted to secede from Colorado, is announcing her run for Colorado governor today. Here’s what you should know about this dangerous, extreme and billionaire-first Republican 🧵

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

A lot of talk today about the “freedom to choose vaccines…” But what about the freedom to send your kids to school and know they won’t get measles? What about the freedom to go to the gym and not get COVID? What about the freedom to live a longer lifespan without the constant threat of disease?

Best piece I've read so far on Dem strategy for the shut down fight this month. The one thing I'd add is this: Dems need to state their demands ASAP. Last time they promised they had a plan...and then they surrendered at the last minute. Say what you're fighting for! bsky.app/profile/jenr...

RFK Jr. must resign.

Nobody should fear for their life for speaking truth to power and exercising their First Amendment rights. We strongly condemn this act of violence against peaceful protestors in Park County and we commend the Park County Sheriff’s Office for their swift action.

Keep it up folks.

We'll be there. Come say hi!

This Wednesday! Join state legislators to hear how they are responding to the budget hole Colorado's MAGA Congress members created. arapahoetownhall.eventbrite.com (corrected graphic)

Colorado Republicans blew a $1.2 billion hole in our state budget, kicked hundreds of thousands off of health care and food assistance, and cost you money. They do not care about you. @javiermabrey.bsky.social explains how this affects you and how Democrats are cleaning up their mess.

These idiot white-supremacists have always been part of the national mix, as @hcrichardson.bsky.social has written about eloquently. But the rest of us have fought against them, and beaten them. We have to do that again. They are what America can sink to. We are what America hopes for.

DC won’t back down to a wannabe dictator.

Let’s set the facts straight about the war in Ukraine: - Russia started this war - Ukrainians are the victim in this conflict - Russia has kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian kids - Russia continuously bombs civilian infrastructure This war will not end by President Trump coddling Putin.

The MAGA Congress voted for a historic transfer of wealth to their billionaire backers, to be paid for by everyday Americans. Come hear what this means for you and for Colorado: arapahoetownhall.eventbrite.com #copolitics

Show me a real-estate developer who upgrades his property by sending the goons. Never mind; show me a legacy media outlet that doesn't understand the difference between gentrification and militarization.

Families are joining together to stop the Trump MAGA regime from turning our government into a weapon against our people. #FreeDC

American voters spent decades building systems to protect our freedoms & well-being. MAGA's tearing it down, including a Medicaid system that Coloradans in their own districts rely on, only to line the pockets of their billionaire backers. We must #FreeAmerica of this regime of theft & destruction.

Arapahoe voters overwhelmingly send Democrats to the #coleg, to get real work done. Our Dems already faced down & conquered a budget challenge this year. Now they'll have to fix the MAGA mess Congressional Republicans made, & Coloradans will suffer. We need builders, not breakers, at every level.

“When people care for each other and work together, progress is possible. A better world is possible.” @gabbygiffords.bsky.social closed our gun violence prevention town hall in CO-08 with strength, hope and a call to keep fighting together.

TOMORROW: Centennial mayor candidate Christine Sweetland hosts Clue Room fun! secure.actblue.com/donate/cluer...

SATURDAY: Meet Arapahoe Dems volunteers & Democratic candidates for Congressional District 4 at Strasburg Hometown Days! Map & schedule at www.StrasburgParks.org/HTD

Democrats show up 👏👏👏

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Greg Abbott is trying to cheat his way to 2026. @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I break down why everyone should care about what’s going on in Texas.

Imagine in another country a corrupt president was trying to change the election laws. Then that president's political ally threatened to remove all the legislators of the other party to get it done. That's what's happening in Texas right now.

My fantasy organizing stunt: A We Draw the Line line dance held on steps of Austin Capitol. "Swing your partner round n round, throw MAGA out of town." "Do-si-do, MAGA Republicans have go to go."

🚨 Texas Democrats just pulled one of the boldest moves in recent political history: They walked out, got on airplanes, and broke quorum to block a Trump-backed GOP gerrymander. This is democracy on the line — and Texas Dems are fighting with everything they’ve got.

Republicans thought they could rig Texas’ maps without the American people taking notice. They were dead wrong. Texas Democrats are leading the fight against the GOP’s assault on our democracy.

Denver still speaking up and voting with our feet! @indivisible.org @ida-co.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

Who knew protests would be good for the local economy. 🙂 Portland protests drive foot traffic to downtown businesses. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

You’re paying more because of Trump’s tariffs. Folks are losing their health care with Medicaid cuts. But don’t worry–Trump will have a grand new ballroom to celebrate.

Best-kept secret in politics: power starts with every ballot cast, every chat with a neighbor, every town hall. Remember Harris noted we only see stars when it's dark? It's spectacular when they all wheel together across the sky. #NoKings means everyone. Be a star.

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

LAST CHANCE Just a few seats left -- grab yours while you can! Enjoy dinner with us & hear from Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Rep. Jason Crow, & more. Proceeds help us get out the vote for YOUR local candidates this year, so our cities can have the leaders we deserve ❤️ www.acdpdinner.org

It’s been 16 years since the last minimum wage increase. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @norcross.house.gov explains how Republicans are holding workers back and how Democrats are fighting for a more affordable America with higher wages and lower costs.
