Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

One in four Coloradans get their health care from Medicaid. Yet Republicans want to cut this care in order to give billionaires another massive tax cut. I visited Stride Community Health Center to talk with doctors and patients about how these cuts would hurt our community.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

I’m demanding answers on why the Trump admin canceled nearly $600 million for teaching programs nationwide, including at Rio Hondo College and Cerritos College, without any reasonable explanation. These cuts will hurt students and undermine educational opportunities.
