AI could be deciding your next job, loan, or housing application, leaving you open to discrimination. But SB 189 would require companies to notify you when AI makes decisions about your job, housing, education, finances, or health care. #SB189 #CoPolitics #AIAccountability

@CHProgress leaders are out at the Colorado State Capitol today on #MayDay asking legislators to stand with working families and close corporate tax loopholes.

Colorado created the PDAB to protect consumers from high drug costs. SB26-140 would gut that mission.

💊 Prescription drugs don't work if people can't afford them.

Hospitals say finances are strained, but still earn about $100 profit per patient.
