Marco is on point talking about the marxist of today. He doesn’t say it directly in this clip, but we’re in a battle for the soul of this nation.

We are also in the middle of fight to protect our republic from threats inside of it and out.

Mr. Shirley needs money to afford protection while exposing fraud in California? Done.

This deal is a huge win for both the American and Venezuelan people.

It demonstrates how President Trump's bold foreign policy is driving America First wins: securing stable reserves and low-cost oil in our Hemisphere and lowering gas prices here at home.

For the Venezuelan people, this deal will bring nearly $100 billion in private investment, support thousands of high-paying jobs, and drive the reconstruction of Venezuela's economy.

Met with Mexican Foreign Secretary @r_velascoa to discuss decisive actions to end illegal immigration, halt fentanyl trafficking, and dismantle Foreign Terrorist Organizations and cartels.

Zohran Mamdani is advertising socialism, and selling it with something else.

This is not a broken system.
This is the system working as designed.

We fund the tools of active drug use, call it compassion, then wonder why we have surrendered our public spaces to chaos and disorder.

The Homeless Industrial Complex (ie the poverty and addiction industry) profits off misery. Recovery is a threat to their model.

Instead of enabling further harm, we should expect people to break free from the system while using every leverage point we can to help them.

Hey @JenaGriswold Colorado’s voter rolls are in unacceptable condition.

Please address the issues. The current state raises serious questions about integrity.

[Mike O'Donnell @modonnell]

When you first register to vote in Colorado, you’re assigned a unique voter ID number. Nine digit IDs were introduced in 2008 and if you were registered prior to then you’ll have either a five, six or seven digit ID. (You can tell how long someone has lived in the state based on their voter ID number.)

If you move to a different county, the voter roll will be updated to show a new 'registration date�� but your voter ID number will remain unchanged. If you move to a different state for a while and then move back to Colorado, you ought to receive your original voter ID back when you re-register to vote in Colorado.

BUT, there are so few checks and balances on the voter roll (it is SO poorly maintained) that if you forget to write your middle name on some state government form, then because of automatic voter registration, you could EASILY end up with a second ID number and begin getting TWO ballots each election cycle, like this individual who's been getting two ballots since November 2022.

Nothing says democracy like allowing some Coloradans two votes when the rest of us only get one.

N.B. The public voter roll shows that THIS individual has only been returning ONE ballot each election cycle. Some people with duplicated registrations do return both ballots.

Far-left extremists, their fronts, and their enablers should be on notice: We will bring the full weight of our economic tools to bear.

Political terrorism has no place in our society, and we will continue to cut the financial lifelines of these groups until they are eliminated.

[Treasury Department @USTreasury]

Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control took action to counter the growing threat posed by violent far-left terrorist groups. Globally networked and politically motivated terrorists—particularly far-left terrorists—are increasingly embracing organized, deadly violence in pursuit of their objectives.

@DENAirport @DenverPolice hey DPD any chance you want to enforce the rules at DEN?!?
Let’s just park up in departures for 10 plus minutes?? What are we doing??

[Do Better Denver @dobetterdnvr]

Y’all remember the video I posted Thursday (8/20) of the man with the machete at RiNo Art Park?

He’s been arrested. 🙌

Oliver Smallwood was taken into custody on 8/22 for felony menacing.

My post got a lot of attention and views, and it appears @denverpolice felt obligated to track him down and make the arrest.

Case: 26CR04169
Bond: $10,000 or $1k Cash
Status: In Jail
**No prior arrest record in Colorado.**

[Rocky Mountain Voice @TheRMVoice]

Advance Colorado gathered 184,000+ signatures to lock the state's income tax rate at 4.4% for good. Voters, not politicians, will decide this November.

Another revealing investigative piece by @Briancbs4 at @CBSNewsColorado 👀

Denver taxpayers are footing $800/hour legal bills while the city faces a $200M deficit and lays off workers.

CBS reports the City Attorney’s Office has paid Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell nearly $852,000 in just four months (almost double the $470,000 annual contract cap) to defend two employee lawsuits.

Four lawyers billed at $800/hour (including one who graduated law school only two years ago) and paralegals at $375/hour, even though Denver already has roughly 160 in-house lawyers, including an employment law team. Average Colorado lawyer rates sit around $321/hour.

Aurora’s city attorney called these rates “unconscionable for tax dollars.”

A former Denver City Attorney’s Office lawyer called it a “huge red flag” and said the city “isn’t minding the store.”

Johnston signed the contract in June 2026 authorizing up to $470,000 through March 2027, but the bills already blew past that by.

There was no formal RFP. Just an “informal qualification review” of four firms, with the city REFUSING to name the competitors or their proposed rates.

City Attorney Miko Brown was a partner at the same firm (Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell) from 2007–2017. She later served as Associate General Counsel at Airbnb before Johnston appointed her in 2025.

When CBS asked whether she was part of the five-person selection panel, recommended WTO, or helped negotiate the $800 rates, she simply DID NOT ANSWER. She also declined an interview on the spending, saying she had “no spare time.” 🙄

The office insists she “receives no benefit” while taxpayers are left to wonder how independent that process really was.

Miko Brown’s resume includes a stint as Associate General Counsel at Airbnb, a company in which Reid Hoffman is a major investor.

Hoffman happens to be one Johnston’s biggest donors, millions into an IEC that backed Johnston’s mayoral run.

Hoffman has also publicly admitted he visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in 2014.

In early 2025, Denver also spent $2M with Covington & Burling at $1,000/hour to prep Johnston for a single hearing on sanctuary cities.

[Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle]

The story of how IAD and other airport’s TSA jobs became dominated by foreigners needs to be told. It’s absurd.

[Do Better Denver @dobetterdnvr]

Bannock & Alameda. Glad to see the Veo Access Program being put to good use 🙄

Did you know it gives people on government subsidies 60 free minutes a day?

Now Veo scooters and bikes have become the preferred way for drug-addicted vagrants to move around the city.

Finally!

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Under @POTUS, the days of illegal aliens collecting taxpayer-funded benefits are over. The federal law is clear, and @USTreasury is enforcing it. American taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for benefits going to those who are barred by law from receiving them. These proposed regulations end the abuse, protect the integrity of the tax system, and put Americans first.

[Do Better Denver @dobetterdnvr]

🚨 There’s a man walking around with a machete right now at the brand-new, taxpayer-funded RiNo Art Park.

@denverpolice were called more than 20 minutes ago… still no officers in sight.

Hey @denversmayor this is exactly why Denver needs MORE police, not fewer.
