Exciting news for Colorado students & educators! I just signed new laws that boost classroom funding, including $412 more per student with a bipartisan school finance formula—the first major update in 30 years! Let's ensure every student has the resources to thrive!

I think what is particularly infuriating is that Trump has been using stochastic terrorism for nearly a decade now and not only does the media not suggest he’s responsible for the actions he inspires but it outright scolds anyone on the left that even suggests he is.

It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ***ever observed in land animals***.

What exactly did House Republicans just vote for? -14 million Americans to lose their health care -18 million kids to lose their free school meals -5.4 million people to lose food assistance It’s not about waste or fraud or abuse. It’s about a bigger tax cut for the rich.

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

South Africa’s murder rate for white farmers was 54.5 per 100,000 in 2023, lower than the national average of 78 per 100,000. Doesn’t sound like “white genocide” to me.

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.
