Wouldn’t you like this to be the headline in your hometown newspaper? We’re working hard to make healthcare savings a reality across Colorado by building on reinsurance (18.2% avg premium reduction next year) and expanding the alliance model statewide
BREAKING: Governor DeSantis is seeking to turn today's Special Legislative Session into a full-scale attack on Walt Disney World and Mickey Mouse. This isn't a joke, this is 2022 and the modern Republican Party.
Florida’s authoritarian socialist attacks on the private sector are driving businesses away. In CO, we don’t meddle in affairs of companies like

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) threatens Twitter after it activated “poison pill” plan to prevent Elon Musk’s acquisition:
“We’re gonna be looking at ways the state of Florida potentially can be holding these Twitter board of directors accountable for breaching their fiduciary duty.”
We want you here

in Colorado, we are the best of all worlds. We’re very pro-business, low taxes, also pro-immigration, pro-LGBT, globally-minded. Bright, smart, motivated ppl love to live here.

Thank you for your deep concerns regarding the health of our residents in the face of a global pandemic, as well as your heartfelt sympathy for the difficulties faced by those who work in the ski industry and hospitality
I have a simple question for those who think a President alone can secure the border without an act of Congress including border security funding and changes to asylum law expanding quick deportations: Why didn’t President Trump secure the border during his four years in office?
Congratulations to the Ethereum Team,
@VitalikButerin
and everyone who worked on the merge to proof of stake last night! This move will reduce worldwide electricity consumption by more than .2%!
Congratulations to our friends and allies in Ukraine for successfully taking territory back in the Balakliya and Izyum areas of the Kharkiv region from the Russian aggressors. 🇺🇦
People talk a lot about reducing inflation through fiscal and monetary policy. Yes, those are legitimate policy drivers. But the biggest thing we could do to immediately reduce costs to consumers is eliminate tariffs and finally get immigration reform done
Happy 98th birthday, Betty White!Born Jan 17, 1922 in Oak Park, IL, Betty began her TV career in 1939. From the Mary Tyler Moore Show to The Golden Girls, Betty inspires fans with her positive attitude. She still works, voicing a toy named Bitey White in Toy Story 4 last year.

This enforcement served no one. It confiscated vendors’ property, shut down & spread fear in this immigrant community.

provision hidden in the massive infrastructure bill that would allow mass-surveillance of the crypto-economy. The Senate should adopt the Wyden/Toomey amendment to fix it.

A Speaker Amash would let the duly elected members of Congress do the work they were elected to do with real opportunities for members on both sides of the aisle to contribute to a better outcome that truly represents the sum of the best ideas from members of the people’s house.
As speaker, I would:
•Push for single-issue bills
•Let committees work through bills without interference
•Ensure rules are followed, not regularly suspended/waived/ignored
•Allow amendments from the floor
•Give members adequate time to review bills
•Ask for recorded votes

It's central location, major international airport, and cost/quality of living make it very attractive for the industry.

In Colorado, our state doesn’t have bureaucratic paperwork and government approval forms to fill out if your son Joseph wants to be called Joe by his teacher. 👍
Iowa schools are requiring students to get their desired nickname approved by a parent, in accordance with Senate File 496:
“Today, Joseph requested that he be called Joe in class.”

The terminal velocity (fastest speed reached during free fall) of an ant is 4 MPH, so they can fall from any height and survive. You are not an ant and have a terminal velocity of 120 MPH, so don’t get any ideas.
However uncomfortable you may find it, wearing a face covering or mask is like being on a beach in Cancún with a piña colada in hand compared to being stuck on a ventilator for weeks in a hospital. 🏝 🍸 😷
When we welcome foreigners to our soil—either because of the persecution they are fleeing or the skills they bring with them—we preserve our competitive edge and ensure that the best ideas and talent can prosper within our borders.
I have signed my name so many times over the years, but never with such immense joy as this morning when I signed the delivery confirmation for the arrival of the first highly effective Coronavirus vaccine.
I’ve been seeing a ton of coverage about “Q” followers lately, and I’m excited about the resurgence of interest in Star Trek. Q is one of my all time faves too! “Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays."
The Cameron Peak Fire now exceeds 158,000 acres and surpassed the Pine Gulch and Hayman fires to become the largest fire in the history of our state. All Colorado and the world cheer on our brave firefighters in their efforts to protect population centers and contain the fire
If you happen to be hanging out with Julio down by the schoolyard, or anywhere else for that matter, make sure to wear a mask 😷 because you never know when you might run into Rosie, the queen of Corona.
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
And if you run more pro-liberty candidates who support a woman’s right to choose, the freedom to marry who you love, reducing the income tax, private property rights to build housing on your own land, and legal Cannabis and Psilocybin small businesses then… maybe you can start…
We negotiated an unprecedented deal with
@LPCO
that if we run more limited-government & pro-liberty nominees they won’t run spoiler candidates.
Together we can break the stranglehold of Democrats’ one-party rule over Colorado.

Thank you to
@denverpost
for temporarily taking down their paywall and allowing members of the public free, unrestricted access to high-quality journalism and up-to-date and accurate information about the virus, how to avoid it, and its impact on our way of life.
Whatever candidate you support, Time’s cover is a wonderful milestone to celebrate the possible and inspire the celebration of love and family in all its forms
11 years ago, when I came out, I didn’t think there was a place for me in this world.
10 months ago we said “I do.”
1 month ago we said “let’s do this.”
Today:
Today my name appeared on a list published by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of 500 ppl banned from entering Russia. Guess I have to reschedule my airbnb dacha in Crimea until it returns to Ukrainian sovereignty (hopefully not too much longer!). 🇺🇦
Prayers for thousands of families evacuating from the fires in Superior and Boulder County. Fast winds are spreading flames quickly and all aircraft are grounded.
Actually made passable Charoset! I’m usually not the designated Charoset person, but this Passover we are all doing it in new ways! Almost time to FaceTime extended family... Happy Passover!
New logo for Colorado!
The tree evokes Colorado’s natural resources and spirit, red symbolizes Colorado’s red soil/rocks, yellow shows our sunshine and wheat of the plains, dual peaks represent the mountains in our state, blue base represents water-our most important resource
In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿
Thank you US Supreme Court for giving our dreamers some breathing room to continue to work and live here legally as we wait for Congress to pass immigration reform
It’s official! Census data is in and Colorado’s clout will grow in our nation’s capital. Colorado will get to elect 8 members of Congress next year, one more than now. Another Coloradan will soon be on the way to help make the United States of America an even better country! 🇺🇸

’s focus on
expanding apprenticeships, certificates, and training. While 4-year college remains a fine choice, there are often alternatives that can be a better deal: costing less and helping people earn more.
Instead of providing free college tuition for the children of millionaires and billionaires, I will open doors of opportunity for Americans who choose not to go to college with massive investments in apprenticeships, workforce training, and lifelong learning programs.
The greatest generation stormed the beaches at Normandy and families turned in their pots and pans to be melted down. We’re asking you to give up getting a haircut or mani pedi for two weeks and to stay at home.
A hairdresser says clients are pressuring her to cut hair at home while salons are closed. “I feel angry and disrespected like me and my family are expendable to their needs.”

The brave members of our military defend our freedom abroad. They should not be deployed in Colorado to beat up our fellow Americans expressing their free speech.
Just as we all condemn inexcusable acts of terror against a family-owned restaurant, acts of criminal terrorism are just as wrong against corporate chains and public buildings. An attack against any of our lives and property is an attack against all of our lives and property.
The owners of the Quiznos arrived to clean up. The restaurant is owned by a family. The whole family is out here cleaning up the damage now. They’ve owned it for 12 years, never seen anything like this. “I don’t even know where to start,” he told me

This is correct, as well as a great example of a thoughtful, civil, and constructive response that improves public discourse. The ridiculously high cost of insulin is a direct result of protectionist government policy and perverse intellectual property monopolies perpetuated by…
People like
@ninaturner
are right to be concerned over the high cost of insulin. People are also right to be concerned about mandating that a product be free.
We should all be able to agree that it's time to let go of protectionist policies that eliminate competition.
I have been boycotting Budweiser my entire life, then I was thinking about ending my boycott the last few weeks. But now I’ve decided to keep my lifelong boycott.

This is not our way in Colorado. Here we believe in empowering women to make their own reproductive health choices. The government should not come between a woman, her doctor, and her faith.
To minimize our future suffering and loss, please stay at least six feet apart from others not in your household, wear a facial mask, and be SMART. You have common sense how to stay safe. Use it.
