Growing up, weekend dinners with the few South Asian families that lived nearby were where I first saw the American Dream. Now, walking into a similar gathering, I feel that same spirit - where tradition meets purpose. I’m proud to stand with a Colorado community rooted in hope and possibility.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

Don’t be shocked. Graham is lying brazenly.

If only there were some way for Senators to take action to express their disapproval of a pending bill. We really ought to create an option for that.

NEWS — Senate R's refusing Dem request for a bipartisan meeting with the parliamentarian on using current policy baseline to pay for tax cuts.
Budget Cmte GOP spox:
"There is no need to have a parliamentarian meeting with respect to the current policy baseline because Section 312 of the Congressional Budget Act gives Graham — as Chairman of the Budget Committee — the authority to set the baseline.
"There is nothing to debate and we consider this matter settled."

I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems).

So they are refusing to meet with her so they can pretend they never ignored her when they do it anyway.

Substitute “and” for “or”:

“…whether it was a crime or part of a federal raid.”

The "real deal threat" was rather "this convergence of what I call the radical left and, like, Islamist groups her in the U.S.," which he said was resulting in the worst expression of hate against any group in the country for the last 100 years.,
«I have never seen anything like this before, ever — ever," he said.

And has Greenblatt ever read a single book about the civil-rights movement?

Protecting Coloradans and all Americans from hate crimes and antisemitic attacks like that on Sunday is not a partisan issue. It's an America issue, and we all need to do our part to ensure that our nation is one where no one is targeted because of who they are.

A page of a court order outlining a ruling putting in place a preliminary injunction to stop the Trump administration from dismantling the U.S. Department of Education.

The Trump administration's illegal order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education would harm people across Colorado. Today, a federal district court judge ruled in favor of Attorney General @philweiser.bsky.social and other state AGs suing to stop it.

Colorado is part of 20 lawsuits (and counting) against Trump. Here’s what AG Phil Weiser says is behind the strategy. Directives on transgender health care, federal funding and tariffs by President Donald Trump are among orders that have led Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser to join 20 blue-state lawsuits.

I ask about Trump Administration actions-"Is this action harming Colorado and is this action illegal?" Too often-20 times so far-the answer is yes and yes. That's why we're in court to address cuts for EV charging stations, public health grants and more. www.denverpost.com/2025/05/18/c...

WSJ’s deckhed: He lost.”

The lede is just as brutal ⤵️

“Rarely has an economic policy been repudiated as soundly and as quickly as Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs—and by Trump’s own hand. Witness the agreement to scale back his punitive tariffs on China—his second major retreat in less than a week”

Slightly more seriously. It's crazy how the entire supposed constitutional theory of Trump 2.0 is that all power is vested in this single individual, down to every last tiny detail and whenever you ask him he's like "I have no idea; ask the lawyers"
