CO is facing revenue loss from H.R. 1 sooner than most states. State economists peg the chances of a moderate recession at 25%. Due to H.R. 1's impacts, we don't have enough $ in reserve to cover our current needs, much less the increased need inherent to a recession.

Back on my bullshit (listening to the Joint Budget Committee) #coleg #copoli

We live in a world where the most basic level of consumer protection is in jeopardy.

I have the utmost confidence that as AG, David will hold predatory companies accountable, defend against inappropriate AI use, and protect Coloradans’ wallets — and dignity.

Breaking News: Congress goes on August Recess

one of the most depraved and under-discussed elements of Trump’s Medicaid cuts is how it creates a shot clock for kids’ coverage.

the GOP budget bill gives the top 1% of Coloradans (folks making more than $860k/yr) a tax cut worth more than the majority of Coloradans’ annual income.

It’s brilliant how the establishment continues to characterize itself as the safe option when their candidates and policies put us in greater jeopardy with every election they win. really amazing stuff

TL reset/calm moments from last weekend

hate when people in their most vulnerable hour experience a modicum of reprieve yeah so this veto makes sense

Governor Polis does not have credibility on labor issues.

Work requirements are very clearly about promoting “requirements,” not “work”

States use SNAP receipt as eligibility criteria for other programs (healthcare coverage is the obvious one). In CO, SNAP enrollment can qualify you for EV rebates.

Food assistance is vital. Cutting it is horrific. But the harm of SNAP cuts goes way beyond the program’s surface purpose.

David has been standing up to special interests and fighting for an economy that works for workers his entire life. More than ever, we need that experience in the Attorney General’s office.

We are so fortunate to be able to elect David Seligman as CO’s next AG.

Not the blockbuster item but who, do we think, if we had to guess, would curtailing retroactive CHIP coverage punish most hm? mothers? Maybe?

Dropping E&C text on Mother’s Day is some kinda fuck you strategy

What if, and hear me out on this, we already had a bunch of programs that helps with the health “effects” of “environmental impacts” and one of them was called “LIHEAP” www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Medicaid is supposed to work counter-cyclically: covering more people when the economy contracts and hiring slows.

Imposing work requirements on Medicaid when there are fewer jobs to be had (and more job seekers) completely undermines Medicaid’s countercyclical design.

Lmfao

people learning that there’s a word to describe the consolidation of wealth and political control among the few is only a bad thing if you’d like that trend of wealth and political control to continue

Perfect marathon conditions😎

We literally cannot imagine the chaos because we can't envision how much worse off we'd all be if 73 million people were suddenly living in (or closer to) poverty. Because they're not. Because of Social Security.

Social Security is a society-wide insurance that benefits us all.
