While the President celebrates the #EPA deregulating air pollution, I switch out the air tanks that help my husband breathe despite emphysema. Air quality impacts health & life quality yet this is now disregarded.

Great news. Hurray for judges stepping in as the administration is yanking the safety out from under economically fragile families and their kids. #TANF #Cokids

This is poised to crush our limited supply of child care centers who operate on tiny margins,add further burden on our state budget-already challenged to absorb other costs shifted onto it by federal HR1. Most of all it jeopardizes services to our more economically fragile families. #TANF #childcare

Good work @immcouncil.org !

Cash matters. Even a small amount helps people meet what they experience as their most important needs.

Congratulations Megan Bowser @copolicy.bsky.social Community Advocate of the year for #cokids w disabilities

Full house for @copolicy.bsky.social Colorado Champions Award

A lot to digest: collaborating with dozens of community & governmental organizations. It will take coordinated efforts to implement the provisions of #OBBBA with diminishing resources while minimizing the damage to people’s access to #SNAP & #Medicaid

Planning now to help eligible Coloradans maintain access to food & health care as new #SNAP & #Medicaid work requirements take effect over the next couple years

Continuing a disturbing practice of providing no advance notice of massive change without allowing time for individuals, governments, nonprofits and businesses to cope or plan for transitions. This capriciousness intensifies the chaos and damage done.

League of Women Voters and Colo Social Legislation Committee member Susan Stark kicks off a joint event looking at federal and state budget cuts. #OBBBA & #OBBB

Live event by League of Women Voters of Denver and Colorado Social Legislation Committee. All are invited.

Coloradans need health care and child care to be productive and to care for themselves and their families. Education is an investment in a better future. For too many, these basics are unaffordable. This offers a solution. #cokids #cohealth #cobudget

The “big beautiful bill” #OBBB is basically an irresponsible package of tax breaks focused on corporations & the wealthy, paid for with increased US debt & shifting program costs to the states. #coleg is left to deal with the huge budget hole #OBBBA

Hands off the #Smithsonian ! Don’t whitewash history.

Just what I was looking for- to track the avalanche of harm coming our way- an interactive timeline of implementation of sections of the "Big, Beautiful Bill". Thanks @centeronbudget.bsky.social ! www.cbpp.org/research/fed... #OBBBA #OBBA

Me with MiCasa Resource Center CEO Angeles Ortega at Taste of La Receta event this evening

Tonight’s Taste of La Receta showcased food samples prepared by chefs from MiCasa’s culinary entrepreneur program

The “Big, Beautiful #BudgetBill “ is basically a cost shift to states of $1billion to help ( along with increasing debt) fund tax breaks for wealthy & corporations.
