usually i spend tuesdays playing league of legends with friends, but instead i'll be listening to a man who tried to end democracy and who is having his agents execute citizens and noncitizens alike lie for 90 minutes while bemoaning the best parts of america's aspirational culture. follow along!

Equifax is already advertising their employment data verification services to state governments. They're going to make bank off of states because of H.R. 1's Medicaid work requirements at the expense of taxpayers and the public services that we actually need.

Cutting taxes is a brilliant strategy: It eliminates enforcement and undermines people’s faith in government while telling us we’re better off. Restoring public trust requires restoring public funding.

HSAs will never supplant real health care coverage and that is coming from someone who acts like a smug bitch every time she buys pre-tax tampons.

Reminder for Maine GOP: on the low end, a tipped worker in Maine makes ~$37,500/year. The average income tax cut that HR 1 gives Mainers earning more than $817k/year is $37,540. Oh also, "no tax on tips" is temporary. The income tax cuts are permanent. #MEpolitics t.co/770rNMfEQC

There is a lot of confusion in the media around Medicaid work requirements in HR 1. ***Work reqs just apply to the Medicaid expansion population*** (States that want to impose work reqs on “regular” Medicaid recipients can still do that through the normal process/apply for a waiver through CMS).

Renters across our state have too little power in a housing market often rigged against them. So proud to meet with renters last night to talk about what it means to be an Attorney General for renters, how we can level the playing field, and building power in tenant unions. #copolitics

✨I’m so glad you asked✨ Colorado is going into special session today to re-balance the state budget after HR 1 blew a $1b hole in the current year budget. The state’s balanced budget took effect July 1, and on July 4th when HR 1 was signed, the state was plunged immediately back into a hole.

AI Industry Playbook: 1) Limit Coloradans' ability to protect against AI intrusion. 2) Make the state AG the sole enforcement entity. 3) Rely on the state's structural deficit to underfund the AG's Office and hamper the AG's ability to do *any* consumer protection. 4) Profit.

The only thing you need to know about Colorado’s $1b budget hole is that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill gave the top 1% of Coloradans a collective $2.26b tax cut. Recapture that $, fix the budget hole. Math, as they say, is real.

Inexcusable behavior from CO House GOP, made even worse by their backhanded "apologies." Luckily, they'll get a chance actually do their jobs this special session and clean up the complete fiscal disaster their Congressional counterparts have caused our state... right? #coleg

CO is facing revenue loss from H.R. 1 sooner than most states. State economists peg the chances of a moderate recession at 25%. Due to H.R. 1's impacts, we don't have enough $ in reserve to cover our current needs, much less the increased need inherent to a recession.

the GOP budget bill gives the top 1% of Coloradans (folks making more than $860k/yr) a tax cut worth more than the majority of Coloradans’ annual income.

States use SNAP receipt as eligibility criteria for other programs (healthcare coverage is the obvious one). In CO, SNAP enrollment can qualify you for EV rebates. Food assistance is vital. Cutting it is horrific. But the harm of SNAP cuts goes way beyond the program’s surface purpose.
