Colorado Democrats' new law has helped keep two insurers in Colorado, preventing nearly 100,000 Coloradans from losing their health care plan this year. Congress must extend the enhanced premium tax credits to prevent massive increases in premium costs. www.cohousedems.com/news/lawmake...

We are appalled and sickened by the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. No matter how much we disagree, political violence is never the answer. The rise of political violence is unacceptable, and there is no place for it in our society. This cannot become our new normal in the US.

We're heartbroken and horrified to hear about the shooting at Evergreen High School this afternoon. We’re keeping the victims and their families in our thoughts. Colorado students, teachers, and staff deserve a safe place to learn...

ICYMI - Colorado Democrats worked throughout the weekend to fight for hardworking Coloradans. Rep. Jennifer Bacon spoke in support of a bill that would preserve SNAP funding that over 600,000 Coloradans rely on ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Our tax code is set up to benefit the ultra-rich and giant corporations. I’m using my understanding of our rigged system to fight for a tax policy that benefits working people, not just the 1%.

House Democrats are returning for day 3️⃣ of special session. Congressional Republicans blew a $1 billion hole in our state budget to fund corporate tax breaks. We’re passing legislation to protect core services by closing corporate tax giveaways & responsibly reducing spending.

✅ Protecting funding for food assistance for Colorado kids and families Reps. @replorenagarcia.bsky.social & Katie Stewart's bill just passed in committee 🎉 www.cohousedems.com/news/committ...

The House Appropriations and Health & Human Services committees are now meeting. Today, they're debating bills that would: 🩺Safeguard preventive health care ​​🥪Preserve SNAP funding that more than 600k Coloradans rely on ⚖️Increase oversight & collaboration in government during revenue shortfalls

Republicans are shuttering rural hospitals and throwing countless Coloradans off Medicaid, while enabling their billionaire funders to conceal wealth in offshore accounts. I’m proud to introduce HB25B-1002, which cracks down on tax havens and funds the programs that Coloradans rely on to survive.

The GOP budget created massive new tax breaks to corporations... paid for by ⬆️⬆️⬆️ costs for health care, energy, and groceries. On day two of this special session, CO Dems are working to close corporate tax loopholes & protect the core services that Coloradans rely on.

They're now debating a bill that would end a corporate tax break. "It's important for us to consider who we are trying to protect as Trump's tax law is targeting funding for SNAP, Medicaid, shifting costs to states, families are going to lose benefits..." - Rep. @javiermabrey.bsky.social

The House Appropriations Committee is now debating bills that would close corporate tax loopholes to protect funding for critical services. Rep. @emilyforco.bsky.social's bill would permanently decouple from a federal tax credit that allows high earners to avoid paying taxes on 20% of their income.

🔊 The Health & Human Services Committee has begun discussion on special session bills. Reps. Kyle Brown & Lindsay Gilchrist are sponsoring a bill that would limit the impact that the federal GOP budget will have on insurance premium hikes and health insurance coverage.
