08.12.2025 16:52 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Cutting taxes is a brilliant strategy: It eliminates enforcement and undermines people’s faith in government while telling us we’re better off.
Restoring public trust requires restoring public funding.
HSAs will never supplant real health care coverage and that is coming from someone who acts like a smug bitch every time she buys pre-tax tampons.

Oh also, "no tax on tips" is temporary. The income tax cuts are permanent. #MEpolitics t.co/770rNMfEQC
It’s frankly stunning how the establishment continues to characterize themselves as the safe option when their candidates and policies put us in greater jeopardy with every election. Just really amazing stuff 🤌🏼

30.09.2025 16:59 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0There is a lot of confusion in the media around Medicaid work requirements in HR 1. ***Work reqs just apply to the Medicaid expansion population***
(States that want to impose work reqs on “regular” Medicaid recipients can still do that through the normal process/apply for a waiver through CMS).
Yesterday was Bisexual Visibility Day but we celebrate year-round by being semi-visible. For example, a Denver Man™️ just asked me if my boot are from [low-quality brand] and I told him no, they're Redwings and is he familiar with the Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness?

Renters across our state have too little power in a housing market often rigged against them. So proud to meet with renters last night to talk about what it means to be an Attorney General for renters, how we can level the playing field, and building power in tenant unions. #copolitics

CO passed AI*consumer protection laws in 2024, but industry is claiming they will be costly to implement. Naturally deregulation is the only solution 🤡
