There's not a day that ends in Y where Republicans aren’t trying to ban abortion in Congress. This time, they want to effectively ban ACA insurers from covering abortion care, AND they want to defund & shutter Planned Parenthood clinics. We need to speak up NOW to stop this bill.

The Denver “No Kings” demonstration is 95-year-old Dolores Taylor’s first protest. Seeing other people her age at the protest gives her hope, she said. “We’re here, coming out against the Trump administration, because this is not the American way,” she said. 📸@brumerdelilah.bsky.social

Rep Lauren Boebert (R) suggests Sen Padilla (D) committed a federal crime by interfering with officers. Boebert has expertise on that (based on her own 2015 arrest) and a history of supporting law enforcement (except the officers attacked by J6 rioters, whose pardons she backed)

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

Trump's HUD Secretary is asking to cut funding for housing by nearly HALF. It's absurd to claim we can't afford basic programs to keep people off the streets, but we can afford TRILLIONS in tax cuts for billionaires & giant corporations. I'm tossing Trump's budget in the trash.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.

Something has happened in the months since January that has led the World Bank to dramatically lower its economic growth forecasts. And whatever it is, it's hurting the United States more than any other major economy. (China remains unscathed.)

If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why don’t they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue. Can you help me get to 5k followers to show her we can do this?!

The 250th anniversary of the Army is important, but pushing aside our Vietnam vets so Trump can have his way on his birthday is wrong. Colorado vets, like Janet Zamora's husband, deserve to be paid the respect they've earned. Especially at a time when their services are being gutted. wapo.st/4dCpuOp

This #MemorialDay, we pause to honor the brave men and women who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice for all our freedom. Let’s commit to be worthy of the heroic actions too many have made for those freedoms we take for granted.
