Let’s get prepared for the long November Colorado ballot. Amendment 87 and Proposition 136 both deal with the state’s income tax. If they both pass, they’ll conflict with each other. As Dr. Ian Malcolm said in Jurassic Park, chaos theory. www.9news.com/article/news...

Rep Gabe Evans (R-CO) avoids in-person town halls and media outlets where he'll face direct questions. Our @marshallglasses.bsky.social caught up with Evans to ask how many Coloradans will soon lose SNAP food benefits. Evans repeatedly dodged the question.

“Performative accountability does not warrant mercy under our set criteria.” Clemency board members, which apparently unanimously denied clemency for Tina Peters, write op-ed on Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ decision to do it anyway. www.denverpost.com/2026/06/18/c...
denverpost.com
To release Tina Peters, Polis ignored our board’s unanimous recommendation for denial (Opinion)
The problem is not Tina Peters’ case in isolation. It is what Gov. Polis’s decision reveals: that the system bends for some and holds firm against everyone else.

NEW: For the second year in a row, Gov. Jared Polis vetoes workers protection bill that would have eliminated a second vote to form a union. Polis was expected to veto particularly since his veto letter last year spelled out reforming a second vote, not eliminating it. #copolitics
