Phil Weiser has the record of success and strength that Colorado needs in its next Governor

@bennet.senate.gov, please show us any comparable achievements this year

Colorado’s attorney general has sued Trump 33 times since inauguration. So far, he’s mostly won. coloradosun.com/2025/08/04/c...

Targeting opponents for prosecution is a threat to the #RuleOfLaw and dangerous. In this case, the resignation of a prosecutor who refused to act against the evidence is a warning sign that this action is untethered from the facts and law. I stand with AG James.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 1d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Twitter was easy to leave even before it became X.

Facebook and Instagram IG are more difficult, but they are not getting a younger audience.

Amazon is going to be the most difficult. It provides tangible service that has no real competition.

You look at who is financing the people destroying it

Vance’s entire career, for example, can be traced to Peter Thiel

The Ellisons just took over Paramount and CBS, and apparently now want to grab HBO MAX

To keep our republic, we must defend freedom of speech; the #RuleofLaw; and not allow the military to do domestic law enforcement. I will defend these pillars and stand strong against this bullying, lawless administration, as I explained to @kylec.bsky.social. www.9news.com/video/news/l...

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

They’ve never cared about immigrants. They only needed a large, but marginalized, community as an excuse to build up their own private army.

“Immigration” will be immediately forgotten once the private army is in place

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

This opinion is a tour de force and a defense of our Constitution and the Rule of Law. It quoted James Madison, cautioning against a standing military force being used as “instrument of tyranny.” We all must continue to stand up against this administration’s dangerous lawlessness.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield @agdanrayfield.bsky.social · 6d

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a court order blocking the president’s order to deploy federalized National Guard troops to Portland when a federal judge granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order. Read our statement.

Proud of our team who defended at #SCOTUS Colorado's ban on so-called "conversion therapy," a discredited and harmful practice. Medical professionals should not be given a First Amendment right to harm patients with substandard care. For more details, see here: www.westword.com/news/colorad...
