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.

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.

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.

Happening now-#coleg Joint Democratic Caucus now hearing cumulative impact of Congress’ Big Budget Bill on Colorado families- from Colo Fiscal Institute, Colo Center in Law & Policy, Community College of Denver, & Bell Policy

Thanks for your reporting @chalkbeat.org . Those who have family cared for in early childhood education settings or in nursing homes may find themselves unexpectedly personally impacted by overzealous and senseless #ICE deportation of critical members of our community.

I was shocked the other day to hear that the HHS Secretary could, without publishing a proposed change & allowing public comment, redefine what is a “federal public benefit” w/o #Congress or the Courts impacting health clinics & #Headstart

Don’t pay for tax breaks for wealthy & corporations with #medicaid & #SNAP cuts and money borrowed for the future. #budget bill

@copolicy.bsky.social staff here at LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce event where they are honoring Charlie Brennan & others

Excellent explanation of what’s happening with the big budget bill -“Byrd bath”- in the senate for those interested in details

Bad news for Colorado #cohealth

Very concerned how quickly we are losing the privacy of our personal information to the federal government, as data given for one reason is usurped for another. It replaces trust with fear. First the breech to allow access to #IRS data! Now #Medicaid. The damage to our country will linger for years.
