Today, Attorney General Weiser won a court order blocking Agriculture Secretary Rollins for now from holding hostage billions in critical USDA funding. By saving this funding, programs such as the school lunch program and SNAP food benefits are protected: https://t.co/cZElBkRx6Q
BREAKING—we just filed case #53 to stand up for Colorado and against the bullying actions of this administration, protecting access to public health funding.
Providing access to free naloxone in as many places as possible saves lives. That's why we have made this access a priority. And we cannot let this access lapse because it's a matter of life and death, and every life matters. https://t.co/MaFzQnm4J6
Grand juries are emerging as an important check on this lawless administration. Much respect for these citizens who called BS on the US DOJ actions in this case.
As we reflect on the last week, and the work ahead, be sure to take in how one judge stood strong for the rule of law--and human decency. And the NY Times annotation of his opinion is very well done. https://t.co/rvTOtoZ5sN
Proud to join @indivisiblecolo to make clear that Colorado will protect our elections, not give in to the Trump administration’s illegal bullying, and will defend our republic.
Much of this article is essentially cut-and-paste from GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert's press release.
What Boebert's press release (and therefore this article) doesn't mention is that she voted against three of the projects she's now claiming credit for. https://t.co/snIYzw26DW
Phil Weiser is the only candidate for Governor who has consistently shown up to and worked for Western and Southern Colorado. Proud to support his campaign.
Our second ad captures a core value of mine as an elected public servant--to show up - in every corner of our state - and truly listen.
Your voice matters to me. That’s why I meet Coloradans where they are, hear their concerns, and fight for them.

Bennet hasn't shown us he's tough enough to lead Colorado. We have exhorted him to finish his term until 2029 and use his standing in the Senate to exert his power, challenge leadership, use his seniority on committees, etc. But what does he do? Quit. #philforgovernor
Poorer communities pay more for food, with fewer stores and fewer products, reports @AtlantaFed. That's one reason why our case to stop the Kroger/Albertsons merger was so important. (HT @davidsirota). https://t.co/VhUdANszpN
Clean energy is the future. The Trump Administration's effort to push us backwards and tell Colorado how to manage our energy sources is wrong and illegal. That's why we are challenging it. https://t.co/UHNoSOrSHC
Yesterday, I joined the Colorado Water Congress to discuss the important issues ahead for Colorado--on multiple fronts. And it was a great chance to connect with friends from the water community across Colorado. Here are my remarks:

At today's 51st Winter Symposium on Addictive Disorders, Behavioral Health, and Mental Health and a Changeline convening in Colorado Springs, I discussed our work in this area--and the need to take our connection crisis seriously. Here are my remarks: https://t.co/YsYWUZTbCA
