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...

I’m grateful for Former Councilman Richard Skorman's support. Being called a ‘mensch’ is about more than a title—it’s about showing up, caring deeply, and fighting for what matters. As Colorado’s next Governor I'll do just that. #philforcolorado #copolitics

just left SCOTUS after defending Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy. It’s simple — no one should be harmed by substandard care. We’ll keep fighting so every Coloradan can live authentically and with pride. #copolitics #lgbtqrights #humanrights #philforgovernor

In Colorado, we did it right. We built a nationally praised, transparent, and local-first model for addressing the opioid crisis. In too many states, those funds were misused. Here, we put them where they belong—into communities saving lives. #copolitics #philforgovernor

Yesterday, a judge appointed by President Trump ruled that the military cannot be used for domestic law enforcement and called his case “untethered to the facts.” We must all defend our republic and the #RuleOfLaw #copolitics

From Denver to Colorado Springs, Pueblo to Durango, Fort Collins, and Boulder to Grand Junction—this week I’m traveling across Colorado to hear from you. Let’s build our future together. #Philforgovernor #copolitics

What about Brooke Rollins, Doug Burgum, and Sean Duffy? When you're facing a lawless bully, the only approach is to fight for your principles. #copolitics

Bennet told CPR that cabinet members shouldn't distribute/cut funds in a partisan way. "Knowing what I know now, I would never have voted for him. I would never have voted for somebody who punishes states…out of a partisan framework...That's not the way our system is supposed to work.” #copolitics

This endorsement means a great deal to me, as Josh is an important mentor and role model of how to show up, listen, and deliver results as an elected official. I’m honored to have his support. #philforgovernor #copolitics

Throwback to when my backpack was a lot heavier—but for the best reason. Being a dad is the role I’m proudest of. #philforcolorado #tbt #thegreatoutdoors

September was a big month! I visited 12 counties, stood up for Colorado’s land, air, and water, launched a statewide tour, earned endorsements from 3 sitting Governors, and kept fighting for Coloradans’ rights. #philforgovernor #copolitics

Over the next week, I’ll be traveling across Colorado—listening, learning, and laying out a vision for a state that works for everyone. From Pueblo to Grand Junction, Durango to Fort Collins, we’re showing up in every corner of our state. #philforgovernor #copolitics

As Washington stumbles toward another shutdown, I want Colorado’s workers and families to know this: I’ve got your back—and I’ll keep fighting for you. #philforgovernor #copolitics #govshutdown

Honored to earn the endorsement of La Plata County Commissioner Matt Salka. From broadband to childcare to tackling the opioid crisis, our work together reflects the priorities of Colorado families—and that’s the leadership I’ll keep bringing as Governor. #PhilForGovernor #copolitics

The DOJ's proposed settlement of the challenge to the HPE-Juniper Networks merger was apparently driven by lobbyists connected to Trump, not the merits of the case. I’m fighting back because consumers deserve to be protected, not sold out. #copolitics #philforgovernor

Happy #PublicLandsDay! As your AG and your next Governor, I will always fight for and protect our public lands and keep them public.

As AG, I’ve fought to expand mental health support. The drop in suicides in El Paso County shows progress—but we have more work to do. As Governor, I’ll keep building a Colorado where asking for help is met with support, not stigma. #MentalHealthMatters #copolitics #philforgovernor

Not your everyday office backdrop… #flashbackfriday to my time in the White House advising President Obama. Lessons from those days still guide my work for Colorado. #philforcolorado #copolitics

In the threats to the Rule of Law category, this is dangerous---for the first time in 50 years, "Trump has undone norms and guidelines established after the Watergate scandal to prevent presidents from ordering the [DOJ] to prosecute their political rivals." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Former FBI Director James Comey indicted following pressure from Trump

The president recently suggested the attorney general should prosecute Comey and other prominent critics. Comey was charged with making a false statement and obstruction.

Trump is conceding the 21st century to our competitors and raising energy costs for consumers in the process, all because he joined at the hip to the fossil fuel industry. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

US intends to cancel $13 billion in funds for green energy

The U.S. Department of Energy intends to cancel more than $13 billion in funds that the Biden administration had pledged to subsidize wind, solar, batteries and electric vehicles, it said on Wednesday.
