The most important speech to protect is that which offends you the most.

As I’m hitting the refresh button on the @COSecofState website and watching the disaster, I keep wishing that @lynn_bartels was here to say the quiet part out loud.

Hi friends! My friend Paige opened this amazing book store on Larimer, Little Blue Pigeon, can you please take a minute and give her a 5-star Google review? It makes such a big difference. https://t.co/mfHd7b4Ho3

One of the most important ways to keep energy prices under control is to ensure a regulatory environment that is stable, where producers can anticipate the landscape far enough out to invest with confidence in domestic production. Sometimes bipartisan solutions do exist. https://t.co/PGfdYErLSh

I just walked in on the boys and said “are you guys fighting?”

“No, Mom. We’re negotiating.”

NEW: The Denver Post is endorsing Republican Michael Allen for Attorney General, citing Democrat Jena Griswold's repeated errors as Secretary of State and concerns about her leadership and management

My friend @karol takes "grandparents' rights" after a grandma went viral asking gov't to reunite her w her grandson after 2 mos. We have 5 wonderful grandparents for our kids, but 3rd parties don't have *rights* to your kids, & any nose under tent means fit parents in court over normal parenting decisions.

Me this morning: “Legos aren’t allowed in the car on the way to school.”

Response: “But it’s a double decker snow sled!”

Send this kid to law school.

I’m driving on a field trip today and my son just asked if he could bring a book for the drive. “Well, you probably want to hang out and talk to your friends, right?” I asked.

“We don’t know yet who is assigned to which car, we could have friends, or we could have girls.”

For Colorado voters, this is worth a listen.

I tell my kiddos all the time that they should start to consider going to trade school instead of college, data centers are serious, economic drivers in our communities, and I would be happy for my boys to help to build them in thoughtful ways. https://t.co/VPFYpN23oj

@sweetcsdesigns Whut. Yes.

@Pathofmostresi1 @coloradodems @AndrewNicla I don’t have that experience with Shad, we disagree on a lot of things, but I haven’t found him to be acting in bad faith. Words matter though, and this tweet is just patently false.

[Kelly Maher @okmaher]

Hi, @coloradodems - I understand that whatever social media manager you have trying to gin up outrage has broad license, but this is an outright lie.

232 would cap taxes at the CURRENT rate, 4.4%, not give “breaks” to anyone as it is . . . wait for it . . . a continuation of our current tax rate.

It’s my experience (and trust me - I KNOW) that if a party uses its megaphone to lie to people, that trust is hard to get back. So, do better. Be accurate. There is plenty of room for different perspectives without lying about it.

[Kelly Maher @okmaher]

@SilasFox9 This also tells me you are similarly fun at parties. 😂

[Kelly Maher @okmaher]

Tonight I went to a Democrat friend's campaign event, and we all took a big group picture. The lady taking it said, "Everyone, say DEMOCRACY!!!" I was in the back row and yelled, "It's a REPUBLIC!"

So, upshot: invite me to your next party; I'm very fun.

My 7-year old just now: “In Christ you’re my sister, so you can’t tell me what to do.”

Good thing my first reaction was to laugh, my little Brother in Christ.
