@BreakTheChainsM@davidforag Yes — the First Friday Breakfast is open to the public; no RSVP needed.
We do encourage everyone to support Morning Story Restaurant for allowing us to use their wonderful space.
Thank you, Councilman @flynnCd2 — we appreciate the clarification as 2G’s sponsor.
The At-Large Seat soon to be vacated by Councilwoman Parady will be filled by who receives the most votes on the 2026 Nov ballot — not by majority 2G established for regular elections.
This is a very nice statement from Council President Sandoval on Councilwoman Parady’s resignation.
Per Councilwoman Parady, in Denver a vacancy election must be held within 90 days. Thus, she chose August 5 as her official resignation so that her seat will be on the Nov ballot.
🎉 Congratulations to Craig Steiner, the new Chairman of the @cologop!
His message says it all: "Colorado Republicans will win when we love defeating Democrats more than we hate each other."
United and focused. Let's win in November. 🇺🇸

Denver –Take Action NOW!
Tell City Council: NO!
This goes beyond the State’s Camp decision. It slashes penalties for theft, trespass, vandalism, and more — putting criminals ahead of safety.

‼️Call or email your Denver City Council representative TODAY. Tell them to reject Bill 26-0328, the “update” to municipal criminal offenses and to put forward a new, clean bill that strictly complies only with the Camp decision.
On Monday, a bill that vastly exceeds the Camp decision will be introduced.
In particular, it significantly lowers max penalties for Municipal criminal offenses, removing an essential legal means to persuade offenders to clean up their act or spend time in jail.
The bill authors think max sentences for these crimes should be reduced so the offenders don’t lose their public benefits or risk immigration trouble. They do not care about Denver’s citizens and crime victims.
Not only does the Bill lower max sentences beyond Camp, it creates a Working Group to review the criminal code (Chapter 38) that is fraught with problems that should concern every citizen:
‼️Per the ordinance, the Working Group must consider “disparate impact” in its deliberations. This collectivist framing rejects individual responsibility for behavior and instead advances the notion that something shouldn’t be a crime if the % of people arrested for it exceeds a group identity’s population proportion.
For example, if 75% of people arrested or convicted for the crime of petty theft have an income less that $15,000, but are only 15% of Denver’s population, then the Working Group must “Identify and attempt to prevent disparate impacts of Denver’s criminal prosecutions and penalties based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, income, and other protected status;”
How can the Working Group “prevent” this disparate impact? Since the methodology requires group analysis rather than addressing prosecution for individual behavior, either petty theft can no longer be a crime, or exceptions for a crime must be made for members of certain groups but not others until the proportions represent the population.
This is nuts. It washes away individual responsibility for our choices and behavior. It builds into our criminal code notions of “systemic” oppression that are not real. We will no longer be equal under the law.
‼️The Working Group must include specific types of nonprofit activist organizations (full list pictured).
Missing from the list? Any organizations representing the regular citizen who wants safe and clean streets. Who wants legal mechanisms in place to hold people accountable for behavior that disrupts and erodes our neighborhoods and public spaces. Who want crimes to be prosecuted regardless of the identity of the criminal!
‼️The bill does not specify how Council and the Mayor will select the community organizations who will serve on the Working Group. There are no provisions for nominations or applications. The absence of such provisions is a strong indicator that the bill proponents already know who they want serving on the working group.
There are also no provisions requiring the Working Group to seek input from the people of Denver nor our business community.

Talk to the hand? This is INSANE.
Colorado Democrat @MannyRutinel's campaign minion has a complete MELTDOWN trying to block questions about his boss’s far-left vegan protesting history in a ranching district.
Delusional liberal completely out of touch with farmers and ranchers.
Denver Democrats like Rep DeGette have zero real plans to fix housing, crime, or cost of living for the people they represent.
Their entire platform?
‘Fight Trump,’
Fighting Trump isn’t a strategy — it’s a cop-out when you have no effective policy.
COLORADO OBLITERATING IMMIGRATION LAW?
Colorado holds just 2% of the U.S. population but accounts for 10% of all national human trafficking.
Why? Rep. Gabe Evans joins @ScottJenningsKY to expose how Denver and Boulder officials are actively blocking ICE from removing violent cartel and gang members from our streets.
@JenningsShow
Addendum to my commentary:
Day Works is the City’s day labor program for people who are homeless. Anything that gets these guys doing some work is a step in the right direction. But, at the end of the day, it’s day labor.
I didn’t know that Work Ready is a $2.5 million dollar training program for people not in the country legally/“newcomers”/asylum seekers.
I have a hard time with such significant expenditures and investments in training for people without legal status when we offer homeless citizens day labor.
Were Ready Works focused on the Mayor’s hotel guests, putting them on a path to steady employment, I’d be a fan.
We are sorry to hear that tomorrow’s Denver event with Vice President JD Vance has been cancelled. We’re disappointed, and we know a lot of you are too.
The response we’ve seen has been incredible. Thank you to everyone who planned to come out.
FirstBank was sold to PNC, and the result is 777 layoffs across Colorado starting June 30. That is roughly a third of its workforce in the state. Behind that number are hundreds of families, many of them people who have served their communities for years.
When the sale was announced, credit unions warned that layoffs and less local investment would likely follow. Senate Bill 25-080
would have let banks partner with local credit unions to help keep jobs and financial assets in Colorado. It died in committee. What we are seeing now is exactly what that debate was about.
Colorado’s credit unions are stepping up. They have set up a job resource center and resume bank, and many are hiring right now. If you know someone affected, please pass this along, and if my office can help, get in touch.

Denver City Council 2027 Budget Priorities, Part 3
Address Denver’s Housing Needs
🚩Fiscal red flag. The first bullet point urges the Mayor to fund Temporary Rental and Utility Assistance (TRUA) based on need for the last two years.
▫️This is a fiscal red flag because the primary source of funding for TRUA in recent years is the now-expired federal ARPA funds. To maintain funding levels will require significant new general fund dollars.
▫️Also, is the last two years the appropriate measure? Given that captures the newcomer surge, I’m not sure. Also, need for assistance will always exceed available funds, especially as utility costs rise. This has the potential to starve other budget priorities if not reined in.
🚩The second bullet is another cost increase. I believe in 2027 the property tax rebate program will finally be restricted to homeowners. Now Council wants to create a new mortgage assistance fund. I’m not saying it’s not a need, and there are certainly federal mortgage assistance programs. Is it prudent to create a City fund? I’m not sure. More detail needed. As always, any City funds giving out cash and rebates come without restrictions that tax dollars be expended only on those living in Denver with legal status. I’m not a fan, for a host of reasons.
Aside: Council’s approach to affordability needs never seeks to eliminate policies that increase costs. No, they seek always to extract more and redistribute, further squeezing the middle class.
▫️I look forward to hearing more about the proposed family shelter, its mission, costs, scope, etc.
▫️I’m very curious about the goal to “fund and implement recommendations from the Residential Health Stakeholder Group.” There is no info about this group or its recommendations on the City’s website. My search on Legistar for 2025 and 2026 yielded nothing. I emailed DDPHE requesting a report or details on the recommendations. I’ll update when I receive them.

If Spencer Pratt wins in LA and finally cracks down on the drug addicts destroying our streets, Denver could become their #1 destination.
Our city’s soft policies already act like The addicts won’t disappear, they’ll just move to places like Denver.
NEW: Spencer Pratt fires back at reporter after he was asked about his plan for the homeless, says they will all end up in Seattle.
Reporter: "What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?"
Pratt: "Well, they're not homeless, they're drug addicts... These people have been bused in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits."
"These people, when I unplug them ... they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them."
@KyleClark Colorado has uniquely positioned itself to receive up to $50 million in federal funding for its new ibogaine research pilot program.
Those funds are controlled by the @US_FDA Secretary Kennedy and President Trump.
