@DeepNotShallow Monsters get elected all the time! They get sworn in, act petulent (yell at staff, throw things at staff etc), get in trouble #onhere, fix their attitudes or lose reelection -- tale as old as time.
Entitled and complacent establishment Dems are wayyy more dangerous

This is how we end up with weak, feckless leaders like Schumer & Jeffries who enable Trump & Republicans
If you want a Colorado Democratic Party that answers to the working class over the donor class, then Bennet, Hickenlooper, Bird, DeGette & the rest need to lose in June

There is not a single Democratic primary playing out in Colorado in which one candidate is ideal and the other is a monster. Not a single damn one. Anybody who comes at you with their hair on fire to the contrary should be regarded with suspicion. #copolitics

Seligman sued the largest corporate landlord for ripping off tenants. He sued meatpacker JBS for injuring workers. He sued Arby's, whose owners secretly agreed to never hire each others' managers. He's suing Uber/Lyft for screwing over drivers. *This* is the next AG of Colorado.
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn
For those that aren’t following the Colorado AG Democratic primary, remember the name David Seligman. David’s platform includes prosecuting ICE, protecting immigrants, taking on AI & Big Tech companies, and going after corporate polluters. His establishment-backed opponent, Secretary of State Jena Griswold, is trying to coast to the nomination. David’s got the juice. He’s got the grassroots support. He’s not a politician. He’s an experienced attorney who has spent his career fighting for working people and immigrants. Who genuinely gives a shit about Coloradans. An upset is brewing. This is just the beginning.

True, however there are a couple primaries where one of the candidates clearly believes that they're entitled to the office they're running for, like the primary is an inconvenience to their ascension. That attitude is way more of a threat to democracy.

We are building a grassroots campaign to put the law on the side of working families. Let’s win this thing. Full press release here: seligmanforag.com/seligman-leads

There were 41% more homicides in Denver when Gabe Evans was a cop. really makes you think
Congressman Gabe Evans@repgabeevans
CO is my home. I served 10 years as a cop in the Denver metro area. I’ve seen the rise in crime firsthand — and I’ve seen the turnaround. Denver homicides are down 41% this year because our federal law enforcement is empowered again. Public safety works when we back the blue.

Occupying Maine beyond cities would make Afghanistan look like the liberation of Paris. Ideal conditions for guerrilla insurgency: Everyone has guns, rough terrain (90% forest), infinite unmapped trails, deep culture of self-reliance/local mutual aid, hostility to outsiders.

Another very normal day on Bluesky, where users are now calling for the federal government to invade and occupy Maine if Platner wins his Senate race

obsessed with the phrase "forces good faith negotiations" like great work by the bad faith negotiation lobby
Rep Larry Don Suckla HD 58@LSuckla
Here are just a couple highlighted bills we will be hearing on third readings on the House floor today that expand government, quick hits: HB26-1202 (Homelessness Strategy) Creates new taxing authorities + redirects fees for housing subsidies. This bill would massively grow government programs & taxes. HB26-1005 (Collective Bargaining) Eases union rules & forces good-faith negotiations. This bill would increase government meddling in private labor.

Tracy St. Louis came to vote Tuesday in Greensboro with his dog Susie. "Just seems to be a lot of gray hair in the room," he said. "What I find is a lot of younger people still have to go to work.

Please Jena Griswold, who is running to be chief legal officer of our state, just please do the bare minimum and respect Colorado voters by not lying to us 🙏🙏

'We the People' ran Palantir out—their mass surveillance may still cause us harm. As AG, I'll make clear to Palantir and every Big Tech company: doing Donald Trump's bidding doesn't put you above Colorado law. Violate our people's rights for profit and we're coming for you.

Turnout for state Rep. Scott Bottoms news conference on his bill to ban gender-affirming surgery for kids and his claims that there are pedophile rings at the Colorado Capitol. Bottoms is running for governor and has declared himself the front runner. #copolitics #coleg

mad because this bill died AND I had to read the phrase "community investors and impact apartments"
Ed Sealover@ESealoverDenver
The idea of letting local governments tax homeowners who are away for significant amounts of time is finished. But just as that bill was dying, a #coleg member suggested he's about to introduce another housing bill that could spur significant debate: tsscolorado.com/committee-kill…

🚨New billboard our campaign just erected near the ICE detention facility in Aurora, Colorado. Every ICE agent leaving the facility should know: you are not above the law.

A $1,000 tax break, which is what the bottom ~60% of Coloradans get, sounds goo until you consider that then top 1% of Coloradans get a $71,000 cut 😇😇😇😇
English
Talking about tax refunds without mentioning tax brackets (or tariffs, which cost the bottom 40% of Coloradans more than the value of the tax cut, or the health care subsidies that you let expire) kinda gives away the game, Gabe.
Congressman Gabe Evans@repgabeevans
Average tax refunds are projected to jump by $1,000 this year — returning $91 BILLION back to the American people. The largest tax refund season in U.S. history is here thanks to @HouseGOP’s Working Families Tax Cuts. More money back in your pocket. 💵🇺🇸
