Was a US Senator every day Trump has been president and sought the nomination to run against Trump for president. And now he's going to take in Trump as governor!?! Colorado seriously needs a new crop of (progressive) statewide electeds and end the cycle of reshuffling chairs.
Colorado will not become a home for Donald Trump’s cruel immigration enforcement agenda.

Really good interview of Hick's primary opponent Colo. State Sen. Julie Gonzalez on Colorado Matters (Ryan Warner). She speaks to why primaries are important for candidates to state their vision for future. Hick declined an interview and all debates.

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters.
Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events.
90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.
In other words up until yesterday this candidate for governor would have had Jared Polis on his list of potential people to fill his U.S. Senate seat...
The New York Times reports Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) overruled the wishes of his own clemency board in setting Tina Peters free. https://t.co/vB47EJIKtD
Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.
Craven and disgusting. This was not about her beliefs, but her criminal actions. Jerod Polis is a disgrace to Colorado, to common decency, to public service. Monstrous.
Both campaigns are failing to meet the moment. I’m incredibly unclear what if any plans either candidate has to break down an economy that benefits wealth over work. We had so many good bills this year that aimed to protect working class people, led by labor unions, consumer protection groups, teachers and the public and we got crickets from both camps.
She wasn’t prosecuted for free speech. She was prosecuted for allowing a far-right activist to access her county's election system to help efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
@jaredpolis Dude just said rule of law after perverting justice in granting clemency to a dangerous anti-democracy unrepentant insurrectionist to gain Trump's adoration and that of the MAGA cult Kristol was fleeing...
Dude must have done really well in Bitcoin for the size of the bonfire of his personal fortune we're about to witness in wherever he thinks he goes politically from here. It's a shame when any of these billionaires do it, so much more could have been done for society...
Why would I want to run from it or redefine it? I’ll always stand for free speech and to make sure that we live in a country that no matter what your viewpoints are, you are not incarcerated longer because of them; the very democracy our clerks aspire to protect and defend through capably administering our gold-standard election system.
@jaredpolis@JesseAPaul@Konola4Colorado You're saying the judge's sentence was political? Are you fucking serious? You think that of every federal judge that handed down a lengthy sentence for J6ers like they should have had community service on a trespassing citation? Go away.
