Dr Allison, looking at the “redactions” with Epstein files, is it possible those FBI training files you’ve FOIA’d would show an error in how to redact properly and malicious compliance is what we are seeing? Thanks for all your continuing hard work @muellershewrote.com

The largest group of registered voters in CO-04 are independent! Not Republican. Not Democrat. Why? Because Coloradans are fiercely independent and know what's best for us isn't always black and white (or red and blue). I vow to always be independent-minded and put CO-04 first.

The projection of Megyn Kelly in this opening monologue is stunning. With a few slight modifications, Kelly’s statement accurately describes MAGA’s cover up of the Epstein scandal.... Let’s unpack Megyn Kelly through the lens of the Epstein cover up..... 1/

Health care premiums for Coloradans are going to skyrocket—double for many—and the blame is directly at the feet of Lauren Boebert for allowing necessary parts of the Affordable Care Act to expire and doing nothing to find a solution to fill the gaps if they do. www.threads.com/@imkyleclark...

When visiting in Windsor, it’s very clear to me that Lauren Boebert’s neighbors don’t care about aliens or culture wars. They’re far more concerned about local economic development and lowering costs. That’s what I’ll focus on in Congress.

Happy birthday to the United States Navy. For 250 years, our sailors have served our nation with honor, dignity, and courage. The Navy holds a special place in my heart having served alongside incredible men and women for 34 years following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather.

IMO rhetoric will stick. Most perceive military as mostly people running around shooting things. I took a LA class engine room through overhaul. Frequent blank stares as to what that implies for mechanical know how. Please change public narrative of what military knowledge and competencies are.

Women warriors fought to be able to serve our country alongside men. They have proven their worth in combat time and again. Attacking those who serve because they don’t match Pete Hegseth’s narrative weakens our military and our nation.

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.
