Don't believe lying texts and disingenuous proclamations from moneyed interests. Instead, read an unbiased story: "...experiences from other states with graduated income tax systems show the doomsday departures are overstated...millionaires overwhelmingly stay put." coloradosun.com/2026/10/23/c...

@theguardian.com, Trump’s name appears 14 times on your home page, but in a story about how FEMA has been crippled throughout the second Trump administration you see fit to mention him only once, at the very end? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NEW: For the first time in decades, corruption is a top issue in a national election, and Democratic candidates are tying it to the affordability crisis. @davidsirota.com on why this moment is rare, and what has to happen next:
@coloradoconnector.bsky.social I live in Niwot, between Boulder and Longmont. 7a is not on my ballot. Is it correct? Is it because the COCO will not stop in Niwot?
Capitalism is not more efficient. It is more profitable. We’ve seen this many times.
Your water bill could be 67% higher simply because a corporation owns your water system. A new analysis found households served by for-profit providers paid about $823 a year for drinking water in 2025. Public-system households paid just $494.

@hickenlooper.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov you guys voted to confirm the guy who says the Trump Military Observation Deck Arch will break ground soon. Doug Burgum. Why do you guys think you should be reelected or Governor of Colorado? Hick almost tied with Fetterman for Trump confirmations.
The US has admitted to weapons in space. Treaties be damned. Now this: apnews.com/article/spac... Wake up, people. The Trump admin is making everything a personal war for winner-take-all. Create an enemy and nothing else matters. You get to choose the future. Don’t let it be perpetual war.

Yes! You do get a tax cut if you’re among the 97 percent of Coloradans who make less than $500k a year. Check out this @coloradosun.com piece about the graduated income tax! coloradosun.bluelena.io/index.php?ac...

🚨NEW from me: Dems overpromising & underdelivering enriched their donors & created backlash conditions for Trump's ascent. A new study offers a big warning: If Corporate Dems remain in control of their party & once again block real change, America will get an even worse Trump.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Whenever I see an article like this, describing the first states to adopt a progressive law, I wonder, why isn’t Colorado in this list. This isn’t a red/blue State issue. All Coloradans should be opposed to SP. Only Business First leaders could support that.

In a @apnews.com article about redistricting in California, three Republican citizens were quoted in seven paragraphs. In an article about redistricting in Tennessee, one Black Democrat citizen was quoted for two paragraphs. Uneven coverage.

Here's another story about a Senate Democrat primary race between a progressive and a moderate. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... This gets a lot of media attention. Colorado had a similar race, between progressive Julie Gonzales and Fetterman-lite Hickenlooper. No media attention. Julie got 47%
Great turnout for @senadorajulie.bsky.social for Colorado. 340,000+ people voted for Julie! The invisible Senator Fetterman-lite Hickenlooper, who said that the Senate isn’t a good fit for him, impassively wins, but it’s clear that a lot of Coloradans see how insignificant he will continue to be.

Colorado has never elected a woman to the U.S. Senate. Now's as good a time as any to finally shatter that glass ceiling. Help elect @senadorajulie.bsky.social! Your support 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 matters in a race where our opponent has some of the best name recognition in the state — JanePAC.com/JulieForSenate
Ms. Gonzales is such a great candidate for US Senator to replace Colorado’s Fetterman-lite, Hickenlooper. All the great progressive ideas. Childcare AND eldercare, for example. Vote for Julie Gonzales!
Had a great time chatting about the campaign with @davidsirota.com and @levernews.com! We can have nice things if we're willing to fight for them! Check out the full conversation at the link in my bio ❤️✊🏽

"Hickenlooper has been the Democratic caucus’ number one outlier, voting with Trump’s agenda almost twice as often as would be expected, based on the state’s electorate."

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Not great analysis, @theguardian.com. You mention Trump and what he says 20 TIMES. That’s not analysis, it’s The Trump News. In the blame section, you don’t analyze the paint/coating and its failure. You say reporters don’t find evidence, suggesting it’s not bad.
