Donald Trump, the developer: Tear down a historic building for a project that the public didn’t want or approve. Triple the initial price tag. Make taxpayers foot the bill after promising they wouldn’t.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Exclusive: Trump told reporters on March 31 that the ballroom project would be "taxpayer-free." But project documents obtained by The Post show the contractor estimated the cost at $600 million — more than three weeks before Trump's comments, and with more than half of the cost coming from taxpayers. wapo.st/4vRSidG

@SenatorHick That's exactly what needs to be done. But it's probably not going to be released until they can sweep it under the rug because of how bad it is for us.

Trump’s White House is completely terrified of Gavin Newsom, so they're weaponizing every tool in the government to shut him down. This isn't about policy or governance, it's a weak, nervous establishment abusing its power to eliminate a political threat because they know they can't win a fair debate on the actual issues.

@SenCortezMasto This is the type of work that needs to be done to lower energy costs and ensure that we are transitioning to a clean future. Hope @jaredpolis does this with his last few months in office

In Nevada, we’ve felt the impact of presidential overreach and government red tape that’s held up key solar energy projects – and thousands of jobs with them. I believe that we need an all-of-the-above approach to energy, not the President picking winners and losers. That’s why I’m fighting for this legislation to cut bureaucracy and unlock our country’s full potential.

@DeepNotShallow Personally, seeing Michael Bloomberg watch as more than $4 million goes down the toilet is the best part for me.

The Colorado Sun wants us to believe that Phil Weiser and Michael Bennet are cut from the exact same institutional cloth. Let's look at where they actually stand when the cameras are off. While Bennet has spent this entire gubernatorial campaign acting as a shield for out-of-state developers and hiding behind an $8 million Super PAC war chest stuffed with billionaire cash, Phil Weiser has been doing the actual work of defending regular Coloradans. Phil didn't wait for an election cycle to start taking on the status quo. His office has actively sued corporate landlords and went straight after the algorithmic rent-fixing real estate cartels that are driving working-class families out of Boulder County and the front range. He understands that a functioning democracy requires systemic accountability, not backroom political protection for mega-donors. Meanwhile, Bennet is sending out desperate timeline posts trying to spin standard campaign compliance into a scandal because he doesn't want anyone looking too closely at his own ledger. This is the definition of political projection. When your biggest benefactor is Michael Bloomberg, who recently donated an additional 2 million to protect Bennet, you lose the moral authority to lecture anyone else in this state about where their funding comes from. Colorandans are facing a massive affordability crisis. We don't need another generic establishment politician whose housing and economic "solutions" read like a private developer's quarterly returns wishlist. We need an independent executive willing to use the actual power of the state to protect the people living in it. Phil understands the difference between serving a constituency and serving a donor base. Bennet clearly doesn't.
The Colorado Sun@ColoradoSun

Looking for areas where Michael Bennet and Phil Weiser differ on policy? There aren’t many. buff.ly/HBNNPaE

It's wild to watch you lecture anyone about campaign contributions when your own campaign is under investigation for using federal Senate funds to pay for your gubernatorial travel. You already admitted you "accidentally" used those public funds for your governor's race. Since we're asking questions: are you going to return the $4.6 million in out-of-state cash Michael Bloomberg dumped into your Rocky Mountain Way super PAC to buy this primary, or do the rules only apply to your opponents?

@Acyn That's because Vance sees being grateful to the country asnot questioning the current government. You can still love your country, but disagree with the government and those who run it.

Vance: It doesn’t both me that Democrats disagree with our policies. It bothers me that they are just terrible people, so many of them. But what really does bother me is that they don't show gratitude for the United States. If you don't feel grateful to live here, what are you even doing being in public service. Too many Democrats don't show appreciation for the country

@USA_Polling Doesn't help that Collins was backed by Trump. That might help in the primary election, but not in the general.

@factpostnews Seems like he's been failing then. Sending people to countries where they have no connection to, in addition to detaining American Citizens based on the color or their skin, isn't treating people humanely.
