Nursing then practiced Family NP until retirement. Now I love art, family, friends, and living in Colorado.

This week, Senate Republicans chose to waste a committee hearing to debate proven science. Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved medication – it must stay legal and accessible so women can get the care they need.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Trump has turned his back on rural Colorado. He’s sold out ranchers by pushing foreign beef. He’s raised grocery costs with illegal tariffs. And he’s vetoed our bipartisan bill to finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit, denying clean water to 50,000 folks.
It’s unacceptable.

He’s dismantling a critical climate research lab in Boulder.
And he’s denying disaster relief for Coloradans reeling from floods and fires.
These attempts to strong arm our state are dangerous and un-American.

Mifepristone is FDA-approved, has been safely taken for 25 years, and used in nearly 2/3 of U.S. abortions.
This is dangerous and absurd.
