Amendment 87 would cut taxes for 97% of Coloradans and raise them on the wealthiest 3%, netting over $2 billion for schools, healthcare, and childcare Prop 136 would freeze the current tax rate at 4.4% for everyone, including the wealthiest Coloradans Thanks to @kylec.bsky.social for the explainer

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

While I welcome any support for education and investing in our kids’ future, I will never support vouchers. That includes any measures that siphon off scarce public K-12 school dollars to benefit private and parochial schools. That’s why I am a no here. coloradosun.com/2025/12/05/c...

We are headed for endless years of budget cuts if we don't give voters the chance to vote their values. A fairer tax system is the best way to protect and promote public education, rural communities, and Colorado's quality of life. #edcolo #copolitics #coleg

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Because of TABOR, cuts to Medicaid translates to cuts to K-12, higher ed, health care, etc. In 2026, we need to give the voters a voice in what happens to all our public services. (If P-12 is your jam, get involved here: www.greateducation.org/get-it-done/) #copolitics #edcolo #TABOR #coleg
