Rocky Mountain Way, the state super PAC supporting Michael Bennet’s gubernatorial campaign, raised $1.1 million between June 11 and June 24, including $500,000 more from former New York Mayor Bloomberg, bringing his total donations to the group to more than $5.1 m. #copolitics
@rickhasen Colorado Supreme Court: all Dem and GOP redistricting initiatives that would change districts in 2028 (#240, 241, 242, 327, and 328) violate the CO Constitution and cannot go forward.

In the Democratic primary for governor in Colorado, Phil Weiser spent an hour talking about local news, civics, AI, public policy for media, the First Amendment, transparency, and more. Michael Bennet's campaign didn't make him available after four months of saying they would: https://t.co/F7JRoKR9e1

@KyleClark@JesseAPaul According to the company that did this poll in May, "A polling firm charges $40,000 for data built on last month's news.... Traditional polling gives you data three weeks late, built on questions written before the news changed.... Stale data loses races."

Bennet backers released this month-old poll to @JesseAPaul following a recent poll from Weiser supporters that showed Weiser leading. Does this suggest that Bennet allies haven't polled the race in a month? Or that this was the last positive poll? Or something else?
The main takeaway from talking to operatives on the ground: This race is not a lock. Phil Weiser has catching up to do, but by all accounts he’s putting in the work.
Weiser has outraised Bennet thus far and has twice as much cash on hand, which has shocked everyone.
This is a very meaningful endorsement--As Attorney General, Phil Weiser "has been nothing less than a man of honor, dependability, and trustworthy of his word . . never in my 70 years of living seen a political leader show up like [AG] Phil Weiser."

About 70% of Ukraine funding is spent in the US, as we manufacture weapons to send to Ukraine or replace ones we donated from our stockpiles. Here’s where the money’s going.

Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC on Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: "Complete utter disaster...What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful...I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelenskyy again...He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with or he needs to change."

“States who have gone looking for non-citizen voters have found shockingly few," says David Becker. He says Ohio announced that in over a decade, it found six possible cases of non-citizens voting. https://t.co/WAIqCRBevX
Donald Trump gave a profane and conspiracy-laden speech two days before the presidential election, talking about reporters being shot and suggesting he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

Obama in Milwaukee:
If you’re a Jewish American “worried about the rise of antsemitism. Why would you place your faith in somebody .. who sat down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers, who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist rally?”
Poll averagers reap what they sow. No one wants to be rated poorly so they all model the election to a tie. Congrats all around to everyone for destroying your own value
