Starbucks needs to end its illegal union-busting efforts and negotiate a fair contract with its employees. End of story.
How Starbucks tried to quash union activity in Colorado
The coffee giant shuttered a store in Colorado Springs in 2022 shortly after its workers voted to unionize. A federal agency later ordered Starbucks to reopen that store, along with 22 others.

In case you forgot, Trump and Republicans passed the largest SNAP cuts in history to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Their cuts will take food away from millions of kids.
Every Senate Democrat signed on to a bill to repeal Trump’s SNAP cuts. Will any Republicans join us?

When we had majorities in Congress, we passed the largest ever climate rescue, invested in America's aging infrastructure, lowered prescription drug costs, and created millions of good-paying jobs.
Trump and MAGA Republicans are hellbent on erasing that progress. We’re fighting them at every turn.

Don't let Republicans fool you. They slashed SNAP over the summer, needlessly held it hostage during the shutdown, and are now implementing their cuts to take food away from families.
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will leave a lasting wound on our country.

SNAP is back, but millions of Americans could lose benefits due to new restrictions
Just as SNAP benefits were reinstated for millions of Americans following the reopening of the federal government, many are now set to permanently lose them.

Let's be clear here: Trump threatened the lives of several Democratic members of Congress who served our country honorably. Trump's threats are sickening and have no place in America. Everyone must condemn this violent rhetoric.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Skyrocketing health care premiums are still at the forefront of Coloradans’ minds. Many folks may have to ditch their coverage altogether because they simply can't afford it.
That’s why we’re not backing down from fighting to lower these costs.

The fear comes as Senate Democrats voted to end the shutdown without a fix for an expiring tax credit that helps Coloradans buy health insurance on the marketplace.
