.@bradleyforco is authentic, honest, caring, and principled. She gets in the trenches with grassroots and stands up for children & families even when it’s hard & unpopular. She cannot be bought or pressured into cutting deals with the devil. She is a true servant, a proven conservative, and a FIGHTER. I’m relieved that 84% of delegates agreed and she no longer has to worry about being primaried. Brandi is a Mamabear and a Patriot. Coloradans are lucky to have her. I was proud to introduce her 2 years ago — and again today. I’ve only endorsed someone three times … two of those times were Brandi. 💜
Rep Brandi Bradley@bradleyforco

Apparently, the people in my district don’t like an opponent who resorts to name-calling and attacks on character of their state house rep. Just secured 84% of the vote, 67 votes to her 12. And I will be the only one on the Republican ballot for HD39 🇺🇸🇺🇸. Thank you Erin Lee for spending the day with me and knocking it out of the park introducing me, you are amazing! @Erin4Parents

@KurtSupeCPA That quote on the prison hits so hard. I’ve seen this in many people I helped at the bank. There is ZERO freedom in worry!

Kurt Supe, CPA & Retirement Planner
Your advisor's fee is usually a percentage of your balance. Every dollar you spend in retirement reduces that fee. There is no incentive to teach you how to spend it. The financial industry spent 40 years training you to accumulate. The more you saved, the more they made. You may have been told not to spend your money. But Nobody showed you why. There are no profitable products to sell you on actually living your life. So after almost 30 years as a retirement planner and CPA, here's what I know. Many of the best savers I've ever met died with the most regrets. Not because they ran out of money. Because they never gave themselves permission to use it. One client drove the same car for 14 years after he retired. Ordered water at dinner. Never took a single vacation. Died with $2 million in a traditional IRA. The IRS collected more from that account than he ever spent from it in his lifetime. The discipline that built the wealth became the prison that prevented him from using it. In retirement it isn't a virtue anymore. It's may be a decision to let someone else enjoy what you built. What does the life you're saving for actually look like?

@iamrjknight As a Christian, reading the Bible is the single greatest habit I could ever have in my life.

Many believers think their daily Bible reading does little because they forget what they read by afternoon. But the Word of God does not work only through memory. It works through formation. Line by line, day after day, the Scriptures begin to reshape the mind, expose the heart, and train the soul to think like God thinks. Read the full article. 👇 buymeacoffee.com/iamrjknight/th…

@a__misbahudeen I have no idea because I don’t work for the First Bank you are quoting. Th FirstBank of Colorado I used to work for 13 years ago has sold to PNC. There are probably over one hundred “First Bank’s” in the USA.

@FirstBanker Which is the official dollar rate 1400+ but first bank is using 1700+ for their transactions? A glitch or a deliberate rip off?

A couple 58 and 59 years old Both executives at large corporations Decades of climbing the ladder Here is their situation Combined income: $280,000 401k balances: $2M Brokerage account: $540,000 Home: paid off Pension: none Healthcare: unplanned until Medicare at 65 Social Security: planning to claim at 62 They were exhausted Both wanted to walk away from their jobs today Their question to me was simple Can we retire right now Most advisors would run a Monte Carlo simulation and hand them a number We did something different First we told them to stop planning to claim Social Security at 62 Waiting until 67 would add over $1,100 a month per person for the rest of their lives Then we built a healthcare bridge using their brokerage account to cover the gap until Medicare at 65 Then we started Roth conversions immediately to shrink the IRS's share of that $2.1 million before RMDs hit They had the green light to retire But the real work was building a plan to maximize every dollar Most people spend 30 years focused on saving the money Very few have a plan to maximize it once it is time to use it

Pete Hegseth is unhinged and has no idea what he is doing. He’s putting our servicemembers at risk. He should be fired immediately.

I refuse to leave money on the table for Colorado students. Starting in 2027, donors to K-12 scholarship-granting organizations that support eligible education expenses like tutoring, summer school, and afterschool programs can get a 100% federal tax credit—meaning more resources for families who need support for their kids. This is about giving every child a chance to thrive. ow.ly/MT2e50Ypsxg

@brianbeers I love these stories. There is no overnight success. There is only hard work and the grind.

My friend's business does $100M+ per year. What he said surprised me. Two weeks ago, he joined my 8-Figure Franchisee mastermind He walked everyone through his timeline of acquiring 60+ locations. He operated a single store for almost 10 years before buying his second. Then another 3 years until he got his third. Everyone just assumed he launched like a rocket from day 1. Nope. He was grinding for 13 years. Then he acquired a group of 4, then another 3, then it snowballed. So many people are chasing the instant home run, betting everything on a quick payoff. That's not how it works. Don’t get discouraged if your business isn’t growing as fast as you want Just focus on getting 1% better every day Small wins eventually compound into something significant. You still have to do the work. But you don't have to figure it all out alone.

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

@GavinNewsom You are an idiot if you think the current Iranian leadership is not an existential threat. Beirut 1983? Oh I forgot your low SAT precludes you from knowing history.

Donald Trump has lied to the American people. His reckless, illegal war has no description of an end game. No explanation of an existential threat.

Reckless is the only way to describe Donald Trump's war with Iran. He's a wrecking ball president.
