@GovofCO That will help the unhoused people on 16th street from pooping on the street.

[Jeff Riggen @Netriggen]

@COUnfiltered @SenatorBennet Thank you for a simple and direct post.

[Jeff Riggen @Netriggen]

A Washington DC resident that talks like Thurston Howell the 3rd, a District Attorney that thinks stealing 3 or more cars is bad and sounds like Kermit the frog. Zero republican reps worth even mentioning.

[Colorado Unfiltered @COUnfiltered]

So let me get this straight…

Colorado is about to elect a new governor.

And here’s what we’re working with:

A guy who has been in Washington since 2009 who talks about Colorado’s problems with the energy of a school guidance counselor explaining why drugs are bad, m’kay.

Seventeen years in the Senate. Seventeen. And NOW he wants to fix Colorado. Not when he had actual federal power. Now. When the vibes felt right.

A guy who walks in looking prepared. Has the folder. Knows the talking points. Delivers them with confidence.

Then you ask a follow-up question and the folder was empty the whole time.

But don’t worry, he’s winning. The polls say so. Which polls? Nobody’s run any. But hypothetically? Landslide. Very scientific. The best numbers.

And then there’s the campfire guy.

You know the one. Fourth beer deep, telling stories that start somewhere emotional, take three unexpected turns, somehow involve a dangerous situation in a foreign country, and end with a lesson that doesn’t quite connect to anything said before it.

Great stories. Incredible stories honestly.

Zero idea what the Colorado Department of Transportation budget looks like.

These are a few of the options Colorado voters are being handed for the most important executive office in the state.

A guidance counselor who discovered Colorado exists after 17 years.

A guy with an empty folder and imaginary poll numbers.

And a man whose debate prep is apparently a prayer circle and a highlight reel.

Colorado has a $1.2 billion deficit, crumbling roads, a Medicaid crisis, and a contracting job market.

But sure. Let’s pick from this menu.

M’kay.

🚨 THE DEATH OF INNOVATION: How Far-Left Red Tape is Killing the Tech Boom 🚨

Colorado was on the verge of hosting a revolutionary breakthrough—but progressive politicians just choked it out.

Denver-based jet maker Boom Supersonic has engineered a game-changing "Superpower" turbine. Derived from jet engines, this incredible 42-megawatt tech can power massive AI data centers without using a single drop of water and while running on clean natural gas. Even better? It can actually pump electricity back into the grid.

It is exactly the kind of clean, waterless, high-tech infrastructure the country desperately needs. So, how are Colorado Democrats responding to this massive economic and technological windfall?

With a wall of suffocating bureaucracy, anti-business regulations, and outright bans.

How Sacramento-Style Politics are Ruining Colorado:
Hostile Legislation: Boom CEO Blake Scholl flatly slammed Colorado’s Senate Bill 24-205 as "the worst AI bill in the country," warning that extreme Democratic regulations wrap innovators in red tape and threaten to make valuable AI uses outright illegal.

Progressive Progress Halts: Both Denver and Jefferson County have slapped temporary moratoriums on new data centers, effectively putting a "Closed for Business" sign on the local tech economy.

Treating Innovators Like Criminals: Local jurisdictions have created massive permitting delays that treat job creators as "guilty until proven innocent."

The Inevitable Exodus
Business leaders are sounding the alarm that blanket bans on entire industries set a terrifying precedent. Now, Boom Supersonic is openly weighing a complete exit from Colorado. States like Texas and North Carolina—which actually value job growth and technological advancement—are waiting with open arms to scoop up Colorado's lost revenue, innovation, and jobs.

When radical environmentalism and heavy-handed government overregulation drive out the very companies solving the grid crisis, nobody wins. If Democrats keep treating the tech economy like an enemy, Colorado will be left completely in the dark.

You're telling me both neighborhoods that burned to the ground in Los Angeles had their maps magically reverted to pre-burn satellite images while both were labeled 2026 at the bottom? not believable. Even the new "update" forces you to zoom all the way in as close as possible

Not long ago, Colorado was affordable, fun, safe, outdoorsy, Western! Businesses came, families were built, future dreams chased. You could hike, ski, and golf on the same day. Paradise!
After 7 years of total Democratic control, Colorado has become what always happens when Democrats get total control - everything is really expensive, dangerous, and sucks.
The legislature passes 500 useless bills a year, takes more and more of your money via "fees." Social programs don't change anything.
Proclaim this from the 14ers across our beautiful state: Stop Voting for Democrats!!!

Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.

Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.

Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.

Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.

Watch the whole thing.

Doctor: "Your LDL is still high. I'm adding a second statin."
Patient: "I'm already on one. My legs ache."
Doctor: "That's a known side effect. I'll add CoQ10."
Patient: "And I'm tired all the time."
Doctor: "Fatigue is common. I'll add modafinil."
Patient: "My memory is foggy."
Doctor: "Cognitive effects can occur. Donepezil should help."
Patient: "I have a cough now."
Doctor: "That'll be the ACE inhibitor I prescribed last visit. We'll swap it for an ARB."
Patient: "I'm not sleeping."
Doctor: "Zopiclone."
Patient: "Heard that's addictive."
Doctor: "We'll taper you with mirtazapine when the time comes."
Patient: "My blood sugar has gone up."
Doctor: "Statins can do that. Metformin."
Patient: "I get diarrhoea on metformin."
Doctor: "Loperamide."
Patient: "I've gained weight."
Doctor: "Ozempic."
Patient: "I feel nauseous."
Doctor: "Ondansetron."
Patient: "I don't want to be on twelve medications."
Doctor: "Anxiety is common at this stage. I'll add sertraline."
Patient: "What if I just stopped the statin?"
Doctor: "Absolutely not."

Here’s a nice dose of vertigo or exhilaration , depending on your personality type.

Why are there are no guard rails on this treacherous road?

This is Pikes Peak in Colorado.. have any of you ever driven on this?

[Gov John Evans ret. (prosopopoeia) @coloradocomrade]

It takes your Colorado State government $8,000 per year per person to run.

In contrast, thanks to TABOR and prior to Democrats taking over, it was just $ 2,940 per person in 2003.

Even with 3% annualized compound inflation (it was actually 2.9% from 2003-2025) the cost per person is $5,130.

The budget since Polis has taken office has increased by 59%.

Hey Democrats, tell us again how you are saving us money?

If you want to understand why Colorado has such an uphill battle, you have to understand the NGO matrix that runs the entire Democrat Party in Colorado. I call it the Soros Wheel of Power, because the OSF coordinates most of the funding through the Tides Foundation. The politicians are just figureheads, actors playing a part. The real power happens at the non-profits. Keep for reference, because you will hear them in the news as elections heat up. And there is 100s more that escape the reporting matrix. #copolitics
