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...

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...

Former Governor Roy Romer and former Mayor Federico Pena are national treasures. I am honored to have both of them on my team, and am inspired by their leadership. This morning's fireside chat with them revealed what made them so special. I will be sharing more about that soon.

In Colorado, we know what responsible governance looks like--and our leadership on the opioid crisis is a stellar example of it. As Governor, I will take our tradition of collaborative and innovative leadership to meet the range of challenges facing our state. philforcolorado.com/colorado-kno...

As Governor, my focus will be on our next generation, and keeping them in Colorado: I want young people to know they’ll be supported, have good-paying jobs, and be able to afford a place to live. And I will always show up for rural Colorado. www.ksjd.org/podcast/ksjd...

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. The opinion is worth reading: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is a harrowing example of how good scammers can be at scaring consumers. And it offers the most important advice out there: “Take that breath, take a beat. Think about what’s going on and what this call is about.”

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.

On birthright citizenship, Professor Amar nails it--"For the framers of the 14th Amendment, the key question to be asked in any given case was clean and simple: On the day a person is born, when they look up and first open their eyes, is an American flag flying overhead?" www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

I was the first person in my family to be born in the U.S. The Constitution leaves no doubt: that makes me a full American citizen.
