Equifax is already advertising their employment data verification services to state governments. They're going to make bank off of states because of H.R. 1's Medicaid work requirements at the expense of taxpayers and the public services that we actually need.

Cutting 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.

one hard part about political work is constantly praying that the details of the news about the president from the weekend will remain unspoken among colleagues

Emily and Griffin got married but more importantly they let me wear high tops to their wedding 😇

Tabbing away from my brother’s wedding photos to Google “best tacos near me” just really emblematic of where I’m at, broadly speaking

Mayor Mamdani can make progress on his agenda while the center is disarmed because Ross told them Zohran has hit his ceiling. Meanwhile, living the outcomes of Zohran’s policies will be a lifelong politics-defining experience for working people.

Hot take but it might actually helpful to the left to have the token conservative assuaging the moderates.

Reminder for Maine GOP: on the low end, a tipped worker in Maine makes ~$37,500/year. The average income tax cut that HR 1 gives Mainers earning more than $817k/year is $37,540.

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 🤌🏼

There 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?

"what's the point of AOC and Bernie's fight oligarchy tour?" This. This is the point. Handing the mic to community leaders who are as fed up as the rest of us and have the courage to run. Like Sam, like @daveyseligman.bsky.social, like @carolinegleich.bsky.social (just to name a few).

A tight timeline that sends states scrambling to compete for scarce resources is just another way the Trump Admin is weaponizing bureaucracy to impoverish the people.

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

Worryingly, at the governor and industry’s urging, the General Assembly will also consider a slate of bills concerning AI (de)regulation.

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