@jeff4colorado Thank you Congressman, although ACA is imperfect, it’s a lifeline for rural CO. I appreciate your leadership in moving us forward reminding us that we can maintain access and improve the system if we work together.
@SenatorBennet I appreciate your statement Sen Bennet. It’s time for CO to take the lead, find common ground, seek pragmatic concessions from each CO Basin state including identifying where we can contribute, and control our destiny.
@rigtoflip@daily_cowboy Wyoming is a ‘fence out’ state, meaning a neighbor would have to fence another rancher’s cattle out if they didn’t want them grazing on their land. In other words, cattle can’t trespass.
@RepHartsook I disagree, this merger will dramatically reduce competition and lead to higher prices for consumers, eliminate jobs especially in rural areas, and lower the prices that farmers and ranchers receive.
This bill is a big step forward in meeting the spectrum of health and wellness needs for farmers, ranchers, ag workers, and their families. It will bring the many orgs and providers serving our ag community together to better coordinate resources. Thank you sponsors!
A bill we brought forth with the family farmers in the @RMFUnion is headed to the Governor to be signed into law. I hope future budget committees and the Governor will prioritize funding these important programs to meet our farmers and ranchers where they are.
@cprwarner Yes! “Some Girls and a Mural” are awesome! Rocky Mountain Farmers Union commissioned some work from Audrey Sayles a few years ago and we LOVED the results. Truly representing CO agriculture!
@CPRBrundin Pretty devastated. I understand the need to be financially judicious but the big value parts of this program is to build a sustainable pipeline of healthy food - local procurement, food service worker pay and education, increased infrastructure. All are necessary for success!
Grocery prices are up 30% since 2019. Corporations are reaping massive profits as Americans struggle to feed their families.
This is what happens when just a handful of companies control our food system. We need stronger enforcement of our antitrust laws.https://t.co/7RMYq8Lk9x
If we want to bring down food prices, we need to take on ag consolidation. There's no reason that a few multinational companies should control the market.
Lowering the cost of our grocery bills is something we can all get behind—so let's make it happen.

The next generation of law students are obsessed with FTC chair Lina Khan — and it’s cultivating foot soldiers for a potential antitrust revolution.
