@RandPaul While “we’re” at it, could you please sponsor legislation making it unlawful for any government agency (Fed, State, Local) to say that a product or service is being provided FREE when funding is being provided by taxpayers or national debt. Thanks!

Good to see this effort by the Treasury. Anyone who exposes fraud should be rewarded for it. My Bonuses for Cost-Cutters Act does the same for federal employees who find waste, and sends 90% of the savings straight to deficit reduction. More of this, please. nypost.com/2026/03/29/bus…

@KDVR STOP saying FREE! AirTags and Clubs were being paid for by somebody. If they were funded by TAXPAYERS, please be transparent and say so.

Report: Auto thefts down 34% in Colorado kdvr.com/news/local/rep…

@BernieSanders I’d rather see legislation requiring bizillionairs spend X% of their profits in the public sector. That way it stimulates the economy and goes directly to the people. No more tax credits for donating to NGOs. Giving it to the government is just like flushing it down the toilet.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

@KBBColorado Once again. Let’s make sure we give these legislators the credit they deserve.

Ready for another crazy Colorado bill? HB26-1309 will take away parents' rights & basic ability to raise their children. Under this bill, doing any of the following will make you a domestic abuser, as the state would now define it as "coercive control" and therefore, "domestic violence": ❌Tracking your child's location to make sure they're safe ❌"Regulating the individual's everyday behavior" ❌Stopping your child from seeing specific friends ❌Preventing your child from spending their money on an expensive toy ❌Taking away your child's phone for a week ❌Refusing to give your middle school daughter birth control ❌Trying to talk your daughter out of having an abortion ❌Telling your child they're too young to transition their gender ❌Much, much more... More in the video ⬇️

@DutchRojas Good lord! Never going to happen in CO as long as @pweiser is around. It will only get worse if Jenna Griswold takes his place.

The IRS cannot fine a nonprofit hospital. It cannot penalize one. It cannot compel charity care. Its only enforcement tool is revoking tax-exempt status, a nuclear option it has used approximately never. The actual watchdog is your state Attorney General. Common law guardian of charitable assets. Subpoena power. Merger approval authority. Full investigative mandate. AGs have not opened a single enforcement action against a nonprofit hospital system in the last decade. The authority exists. The enforcement doesn’t. That gap has a dollar value.

@BabyNetworkNews Worst BNN post. All the rest are great, so far.

@ElissaSlotkin @RealTimers Maybe start with banning insider trading? That’s an easy first step but you probably couldn’t get consensus with half of your own party on that.

President Trump’s kids alone have made a billion dollars since he became president. We are going to grapple with the unbelievable corruption coming out of this Administration.

@logiclives Did they say who from the Nanny State would police this? They will probably pay some Undercover Karen Task Force to rat out restaurants who give out a napkin without the customer asking.

Colorado already has businesses fleeing for states with less red tape. The Democrats solution? Let’s add more unnecessary regulation. SB26-146 states that restaurants and establishments serving food cannot hand out condiments, napkins, cup sleeves, etc unless the customer directly requests them. On its face, seems small. But just like the many small gun bills, these regulatory bills add up. And heavy regulation kills economic growth. Let’s focus on ways to attract businesses to our state, not push them out.

@ewarren I’d rather see legislation requiring bizillionairs spend X% of their profits in the public sector. That way it stimulates the economy and goes directly to the people. No more tax credits for donating to NGOs. Giving it to the government is just like flushing it down the toilet.

The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households. This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.

@mikeroweworks Thanks Mike! Just wanted to add that it’s even possible for (some) comedians to evolve into successful politicians

If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security: “We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.” Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down. “I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.” Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him? Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job. This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration. Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life? The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at mikeroweworks.org. Apply today. As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at mikeroweworks.org I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…

@itsme_urstruly Awesome fort! Better than a cardboard box.

The chair gave her a second chance, and she wasted it 😭 Mom took a picture cuz she knows the kid isn't hurt just got trapped. She will show her the photo when she’s older 😂

@2024dion @HSRail @ColoradoDOT @RideRTD @GovofCO @CompleteCO @KirkmeyerforGov @COFRPR @victormarx @DenverGazette Just a glimpse into our future if FRPR happens. More highway funds could be siphoned off to support rail. Maybe fix CO roads first and expand @RideBustang

What a lot of people miss about Metro is that it wasn’t enough to simply invest in a rail transit system, there had to be a polticial agreement to spend transportation dollars on trains instead of the highway network. To this day the DMV has relatively weak freeway links (for example I-66 through Arlington County is only four lanes when in most metros it would have at least eight) because funds were instead spent on expanding Metro lines. New transit systems won’t succeed in the US unless they solve for this (extremely dififcult!) arrangement

@RealTimers @stephenasmith @billmaher $5.60 from EVERY one-way ticket from EVERY person standing in a TSA line was intended to pay TSA. It is called a Security Fee. Ask the next member of Congress you have on the show where the H is it going.

"You know how you win an election right now? All you gotta do is look the people in the face, be straight up with them and let them know – you about them." Watch @stephenasmith get real about politicians on #RTOvertime with @billmaher: youtu.be/baC09HdJQN4

@HSRail Is there something stopping private enterprise from building it? @GoBrightline Who will provide security screening? @TSA

"If only the United States had a functioning high-speed railroad." Yes indeed, that's what we've been saying. Glad that people are starting to notice. Let's make it happen! gothamist.com/news/americas-…

@timburchett @DataRepublican Appreciate you Rep Burchett, but MY “rank and file” Senators were in lock step with their leadership (D) when it came to votes. The process is broken. The institution has absolutely no credibility. You even loose a little when you try to give them cover.

Don’t blame rank and file Senators for this mess. Blame their leadership.

@MalluChique @ColoradoDOT @RideRTD Bustang has proved that it is a money loosing proposition. FRPR will be like RTD light rail on steroids. Good luck with your marketing campaign. You haven’t convinced me yet.

@Dog99C @ColoradoDOT @RideRTD We cant compare regional commuter bus service Bustang to regional Commuter Rail project like FRPR. Bus is 50 seater, the train carries 100s! Bustang proved that numbers exist for a permanent, high-frequency rail service that can avoid I-25 congestion. x.com/Dog99C/status/…

#Bustang is NOT a competitor to #FrontRangePassengerRail! Bustang's success is actually the reason why FRPR is needed because the Bus system has become a victim of its own success with capacity & financial limits only Rail can solve. @ColoradoDOT @RideRTD #FRPR #Colorado

@MalluChique @ColoradoDOT @RideRTD South line (DEN-CS/Pueblo) was 59,000 in 2025. You are trying to add in the mountain and special event #’s to get to 350k. It’s a data point but I’m sure the team will try to inflate the numbers to make it convincing. Thanks for trying but you lose this round (again).

@Dog99C @ColoradoDOT @RideRTD 109K could be the figure for the North Line (Den-FTC). But you cannot see the system in isolation. The entire rail "spine" for FRPR will be from FTC to Pueblo. Total ridership on the entire route was 351K (more than the 300K I mentioned yesterday)! x.com/Dog99C/status/…

@repgabeevans Rep Gabe, what is happening to the $5.60 (each way) Security Fee each and every airline traveler is paying. It was intended to fund TSA. Does it have to go into Congress’ pocket first before it goes to its intended destination? Congress needs to “clean” it a little?

Not one cent actually appropriated. Thoughts and prayers only. We should think about paying DHS, TSA, ICE, CBP, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard. That is what House Resolution 1128 said. 187 Democrats couldn't even send thoughts and prayers to our Homeland Security personnel. Why? Because the radical Democrat party has once again made it crystal clear — they will ALWAYS put open border and defund-the-police policies over the Americans they were elected to represent.

@briansherrodtv @CBSNewsColorado According to codot.gov - Bustang ridership 2025 North Line 109,000, South Line 59,000. Also noted “a one-time pilot funding infusion is ending, creating a projected annual deficit. Farebox recovery is around 20% on main lines”. Investigate! @DenverGazette

Right now, there’s a proposal to create a train service that would go as far north as Fort Collins and as far south as Pueblo. It would also stop at major cities in between. Here’s what you should know about the Front Range Passenger Rail! @CBSNewsColorado

@MalluChique @ColoradoDOT @RideRTD 2025 North Line (Den-FC) was 109,000. “ a one-time pilot funding infusion is ending, creating a projected annual deficit. Farebox recovery is around 20% on main lines”. Source - codot.gov

@ColoradoDOT @RideRTD Dont have the exact numbers, but #Bustang annual ridership surged past 300K a while ago! How many Buses will @ColoradoDOT have to add in order to meet the demand with buses? I-25 is already so f***ing congested na?!
