CO Rep Brittany Pettersen introduces bipartisan Save Money, Save Lives Act – that would ensure that CO & other states can continue to use Section 1115 waivers for substance use disorder treatment.
It’s degrading to portray any candidate as a piñata—but especially the woman in this race. Our country’s facing an urgent crisis & the best opportunity we have to stop Trump is to flip this seat. Disrespect like this only makes us weaker. Let’s remember who we’re really fighting.
🍼🚨As parents, we want baby formula that’s safe, nutritious, and affordable. That’s why @DadsCaucus, Mamas’ Caucus & @DemWomenCaucus are sounding the alarm on RFK Jr.’s baby formula probe after gutting HHS. Bring back the experts—stop playing politics with our babies’ health.
As a doctor, I believe the decision over whether to have an abortion should be made in an exam room — NOT in the halls of Congress.
Thank you @CourierNewsroom for allowing me to highlight what each one of us can do to protect our rights.

So much fun with @jonlovett and the @CrookedMedia crew last night!
Coming soon to the Lovett or Leave It feed are hot takes on:
✅ Prairie dogs,
✅ Our fight for abortion rights, &
✅ My extreme opponents.
We spend so much time focused on political squabbles that it's easy to forget leaders who eschew the spotlight and do the work.
Colorado's hardest-working member of Congress is Rep. Yadira Caraveo, and here's why.

"Caraveo was also the only Coloradan in Congress who didn’t miss a vote in the first nine months of this Congressional term."
Why the hell isn't this a headline instead of buried in a newsletter?
No one is working harder for Colorado than Yadira Caraveo. Full stop.

.@YadiraCaraveo: "(As) long as this infighting grinds our work to a halt, Congress will be unable to work on these priority issues. It is far past time we return a bipartisan ethic to Congress, focus on the areas where we agree, and get to work..."

This great example of what leadership for Coloradans really looks like. While some members of Congress embrace extreme views and play politics, Rep. Caraveo worked hard and passed a bipartisan bill to keep Colorado families and communities safe #copolitics#CO08
CO Rep. Yadira Caraveo is at the Dem Caucus leadership presser today to talk Roe. As a doctor, she says whether to have an abortion “is never never made lightly...That is why I believe firmly that it is a decision that must remain in the exam room between a woman and her doctor.”
I’m humbled by the vote of confidence I received tonight.
It’s my honor to serve our community. I’ll continue working hard to lower costs, protect our rights, & defend our democracy.
As we recover from a difficult few years, I will continue my tireless work delivering for CO.
Our campaign is built by & for the people of #CO08.
And from Greeley to Commerce City, our grassroots campaign is ready to stand up to special interests & make their voice heard at the ballot box.
It's #ElectionDay — & with our amazing volunteers, we’re going to win.
Please indulge me with this #copolitics 🧵.
In 2019, Ed Perlmutter & Jason Crow embarked on a Holiday Decorating Competition that ballooned over the years.
This year Christmas came early.
In honor of that, I give you "Christmas in July"
Rep. Jason Crow says what we're seeing right now play out in Ukraine & the world is the dangers of our dependence on foreign oil. He says the long term solution is continuing a ”rapid and aggressive transition to renewable energy and cleaner sources of fuel”
NEW: @RepJasonCrow (D-CO) says @RepBoebert's (R-CO) heckling of President Biden as he discussed fallen servicemembers showed "depravity" and was an insult to the families of the fallen in the audience. #copolitics
