When a President tries to jail Senators for speaking their minds just because he disagrees with them, that is not a Democrat or Republican problem—it’s a constitutional crisis of the highest order.
We must all come together and take action to stop this erosion of our democracy.

In public settings like schools or businesses, these situations can trigger lockdowns and a heavy law enforcement response. In the worst cases nationwide, young adults have been shot and seriously injured.

Take a second to picture this unfolding from across a hallway or parking lot. These pranks can look disturbingly similar to real firearms.
What are the risks?
These games generate emergency calls to law enforcement agencies every year, including here in Jefferson County.

Attention Parents – “Senior Assassin” Game
What is Senior Assassin?
Each year, high school seniors across the country take part in an elimination style game. Students are assigned a “target” and try to “eliminate” them using water guns or similar toys like Nerf style blasters or Orbeez guns.

The court order we won to release over $200 million in funding for the Gateway Program’s Hudson Tunnel project is now in effect.
The Trump administration never had the authority to freeze these funds, and now they must be delivered swiftly to keep this critical project moving.

I don’t think enough people know that the GOP’s “Save America Act” would establish voter purge programs using data systems that experts say are unreliable. These systems reek of DOGE & thus of Elon Musk who is *heavily* promoting the Act. Thread.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

A recent study found that these tax credits, created or expanded by Colorado Democrats, reduced Colorado's childhood poverty rate by 37%.
Now, Colorado has one of the lowest childhood poverty rates in the country.
