Interfaith Alliance of Colorado has been key to our repro rights successes over the years. Moral agency/soul competency is absolutely a thing.

The MSM presumption is that leading with faith must mean you're trying to win over Republicans.

But lots of Democrats are religious. They just tend to focus their exercise of faith in the political realm more on the plight of the poor and oppressed rather than on abortion and anti-LGBTQ beliefs.

I have considered and rejected Ozempic because I enjoy food and am vain about my hair. Will just live with some extra junk in the trunk in middle age.

Melissa Hortman's murder and Trump's approval of it has been underreported by national media.

Not a surprise at this point, but Polis seems intent on leapfrogging the Court of Appeals - which is already weighing the length of Peters’ sentence - & intervening himself.

It should perhaps be noted that same charges =/= same facts or intent. And Peters was also convicted of seven total charges.

Gov. Polis dropping some preemptive justification for his (very likely) intervention re: Tina Peters’ prison sentence:

Likely means all the Republican fuckery in Dallas won’t be enough to make a difference in the ultimate outcome.

As I’ve said the whole time, two excellent candidates, one will win.

Time to get started flipping Texas while the Republicans eat each other’s faces for six more weeks.

BREAKING: The Texas Secretary of State DID NOT UPDATE the precinct maps on their website last December. MY GOD @msnowreports.bsky.social

Yeah, I triggered a massive troll meltdown a couple days ago by pointing out the time to fight it out is in the primaries but in the general election the enemy is on the other side.

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

A little louder for the stompy foot folks in the back: "our reliability as voters is what makes politicians listen to us, not the other way around."

That is not true. This is what Polis said tonight: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Segregation being the operative word here.

No, it's not. It's because Republicans refused to sign an MOU allowing people to same day vote at vote centers, not by precinct, as is standard.
This is a Republican voter suppression operation.

One of my friends lost her 35 year old husband to colon cancer *a week ago*.
She is at the Denver Democratic caucus tonight, doing her part for civic participation. They met through politics, so he'd want her to be there.
We all need to bring that devotion and dedication to the midterms.

So votes in Dallas and Williamson County, Texas are literally being segregated?
1960 called, it wants its Jim Crow back.

Roy Cooper is relentlessly on message and that is a good thing.

Strongest signal yet from Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) that he'll give clemency to Tina Peters as President Trump has demanded. Polis notes a fmr Dem State Senator recently got probation on charges that drew prison time for Peters, who unrepentantly defied the judge at sentencing

I will never forgive the motherf*ckers in the national media - especially Chris Cillizza and the New York Times - who put Hillary's misuse of an email server on the same moral plane as Trump's lifetime of sexual assault.

The way Hillary Clinton reduced fascist republicans to nothing and refused to take any of their vile bullshit whilst delivering truth jabs is exactly why they didn’t allow her to testify publicly. They’ve spent over a decade trying to blame her for crimes their tyrant has done.

Good thing for Dems he's retiring because yelling at Kristi Noem about animal abuse would make for a hell of a winning campaign ad.

For those who don't know, Tillis LOVES Dogs. He holds a "Bipawtisan" parade every year for dogs during Halloween and even dressed up his dog as Kyrsten Sinema one year for Halloween. He hosted a Mardi Gras dog parade last month. #NCPol #NCSen

Just did an interview for a media channel in Dubai. They asked me about our war strategy. It was painful for me to explain that we had none. That the President of the United States had no idea of what he was going to do tomorrow. That the Secretary of State couldn’t remember what he said yesterday.

First world problems but an Australian small group tour company I've traveled with has cancelled all tours to the Middle East for the next month - including Jordan (Petra) and Egypt.
It's not just a worldwide financial hit. America looks like an international asshole.

CNN's promotion of Scott Jennings is yet another data point in the systemic misogyny of the national press corps and its ownernship - the same one that put Hillary's misuse of an email server on an equal moral plane as Trump's sexual abuse and assault.

Jennings' audience is Donald Trump. He uses the CNN brand and operation for that reason. And they're surprised he lies?

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

The utter depravity of these monsters is beyond measure. Kristi Noem and the rest of them need to be criminally charged and sent to Supermax.

Although the world may literally be on fire, I can still revel in the great joy the Colorado GOP brings me.
