Most people assume that if you're married to an American citizen, you automatically have legal status. Unfortunately, it's not true. Biden's new executive action for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens will protect half a million marriages from being broken up by the gov't.

As a long time advocate and activist in many critical policy areas, especially public education, Bryan Lindstrom has my support in his race for HD-36. #copolitics

"The public system comes with an assortment of safeguards and guardrails that protect....the rights of students, families, and taxpayers. The charter/voucher system, in most cases, has no such protections."@palan57 @NPEaction @TrusteeFord @RepLorenaGarcia

I am honored to support Kathy Gebhardt in her campaign efforts for State Board of Education for CD-2. Her passion and dedication for public education is unmatched, and she is the clear choice! #copolitics
I'm running to continue my decades-long advocacy work on behalf of public education. As a mother of five and a civil rights attorney focused on education and children's rights, most of my career has been spent advocating for increased funding and opportunities for CO's students

I endorse Kathy Gebhardt because she is and has been a champion for ALL public school students for decades. I’ve worked with her on important education issues both as State Treasurer and as a State Representative—she is a visionary leader!

What would $3 billion in cuts to the state's general fund look like? Significant cuts to higher ed, early childhood, and other key programs. @sjwasserman

You're gonna see relentless statistical slop like this for the next few months. Comparing total statewide property tax revenue growth (which includes commercial, oil & gas, and luxury properties) to household wage growth is a completely misleading comparison... #copolitics #coleg
Property tax revenue just grew 5x faster than wage growth. We can ensure this never happens again by passing the Citizens’ Tax Cut this year. #copolitics #coleg

You literally voted against my bill to protect IVF yesterday.
Each of my 7 grandkids is a precious gift from God. But sometimes families need help. You can count on this grandpa to always protect IVF. Watch my latest campaign ad👇

In today's edition of WTF is wrong with gun makers: A Barbie-themed AK-style pistol. Guns are the #1 killer of children and teens in America. Gun makers should be innovating for safety, not marketing guns using toy brands. CC: @Mattel. https://t.co/scEyD8cpJu

Outlaw Ordnance has created a Barbie-themed AK pistol that appeals to children, one of the company's many irresponsible firearms.

Let’s be clear: we are the only Democratic campaign with a reputable poll in Colorado’s 4th CD. Misinformation goes against democratic values, and we don’t need it to win this election. I'm running to serve the community that raised me — Join our coalition here:

Just a reminder that what has driven us into debt is not Social Security and Medicare, but rather the George W. Bush tax cuts and the Trump tax cuts, both of which disproportionately benefited the wealthy and corporations.
Here is Mike Johnson calling to cut Social Security and Medicare: “We’ve got to think about long-term reforms to those programs”

Mifepristone is safe.. for now. The urgency to protect and expand access to abortion is more important than ever. We’re bringing a ballot initiative to lift Colorado’s nearly 40-year-old constitutional ban on state dollars being used to pay for abortions. https://t.co/Bc0oydQdga

The US Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the abortion pill mifepristone, a commonly used drug to terminate a pregnancy safely.

The Supreme Court did not say “yay abortion medication!” They said “these aren’t the right people to sue.” Ask yourself when the next abortion medication case comes to SCOTUS, which will happen, who do YOU want to be in control of the White House and Congress?

"Moreover, some policymakers claim that homelessness is primarily driven by the nation’s mental health and substance use crises, even questioning the role of housing assistance in addressing homelessness. This ignores the overwhelming evidence that the large and persistent gap
Housing is a basic human need, but stable housing is out of reach or hard to keep for too many people. Let’s be clear: This is a policy choice, not an economic inevitability. We can solve homelessness if we address the gap between incomes and rent. https://t.co/AclsPAZ7hO
