The insane importance of state leg elections in less than 2 minutes.
Imagine the kind of state we could live in if Democrats had ONE MORE SEAT in the State Senate. VOTE to make it a reality. #ElectionDay #IVoted #GoVote #copolitics

I know I will regret banging my head on this particular wall again, but:
1. The Obama DOJ made mistakes w/r/t James Rosen, admitted it, & reformed the rules governing media subpoenas. It’s incomplete for reporters to attack the former without at least acknowledging the latter.

Every capitalist should try living under $7.25/hour minimum wage in the USA for 6 months.

Every college socialist should be encouraged to live under a Marxist regime for 6 months Would love to see the Bernie bros try and survive in Venezuela without running water, food, shelter, or wifi Socialism sounds great till it kills you and your family

Is @RepTipton the representative for Denver? Somehow I missed that.
He never gives these chats in OUR district. @indivisibleden @IndivisibleRf @IndivisibleGJ @Indivisibleps @d3indivisible twitter.com/RepTipton/stat…

“Kimberly-Clark, maker of paper products like Kleenex, Viva paper towels, Cottonelle bathroom tissue and Huggies diapers, announced earlier this month it would use its tax cut windfall to pay the costs of closing 10 factories and dumping as many as 5,500 workers.”

There's a long way to go to true representation. Let's take a big step toward that number in 2018. #bluewave twitter.com/ProPublica/sta…

There are 1,977 women in power across governorships, congressional seats, and state legislative seats — which means 2,006 more have to win for women to reach equal representation. washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/…

In light of today’s events, we have no choice but to release our own memo.

Two Republican state senators (including Tim Neville, whose seat is up in 2018) voted to eliminate Colorado's affordable housing authority today. If they had control of our state government right now, what do you think they'd be doing?
State politics matters. Vote. twitter.com/COSenDem/statu…

Anti-racist grammar tip: the word "illegal" is an adjective which describes an act by a person. It is never an adjective which describes an entire person, and it is ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVER a noun. #copolitics

There are ZERO counties in CO where a full-time, minimum wage worker can afford a one-bedroom rental. The median hourly wage in CO is lower today than it was in 2000.
High cost of living and low pay hurt our rural and mountain communities too. It's not just NoCo and Denver. twitter.com/johnmrod/statu…

This is one of the most offensive concepts at the core of conservative ideology.
They want you to believe that a food service worker doing 60+ hours / week at multiple restaurants doesn't "work as hard" as a guy who sits behind a desk because desk guy gets paid more. It's sick. twitter.com/Squeaky260/sta…

@COSenDem The prevailing opinion seems to be manual labor is somehow inferior to intellectual labor ... Some "intellectuals" need to be reminded all cogs in the wheel need to be functional or it will stutter to a halt.

Almost impressed by @SenCoryGardner for the chutzpah and/or obliviousness required to be this out of touch with his constituents twice in one morning.

Exactly. People who think low-wage jobs are "easy money for lazy teenagers" wouldn't last a month in food service or retail.
If the minimum wage kept up with productivity, it would be almost $20 / hour. Working people aren't greedy — they just want to be paid what they're worth. twitter.com/dark_satellite…
