Special Session? More like "Spend More Session.". I’m hearing it loud & clear in HD56 — there’s NOTHING here worth a “YES” vote. 💰 Cut the waste. 🚫 No new taxes. 🚫 No new fees. How's this for a new poll idea for the Governor? “Take more of our money” would flop harder than

Spare us the selective outrage! Colorado just dropped 560,000+ from Medicaid last year due to state-level bungling — 2.5× the coverage loss projected under the Big Beautiful Bill — and nobody called a special session.

Press Releases Should Inform, Not Spin.Ending Federal Solar Subsidy Doesn’t Signal Disaster. When government leaders issue a press release, the public should expect facts, context, and a clear understanding of what a policy or funding change will mean for their lives.

Gov. Polis just proved again—Rural Colorado isn’t on his radar. Calling a special session during the State Fair is pure disrespect. #RespectRuralColorado

Why does the majority hate the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR)? Only two reasons:. 1️⃣ They think they know better than you how to spend your money. 2️⃣ They're afraid you’ll say NO if given the chance. It’s arrogance or fear—either way, it’s anti-voter. #DefendTABOR #copolitics.

🚨 OUTRAGEOUS 🚨. Denver Gazette - thanks for bringing this to light!. As Colorado nears its 150th birthday—a time to honor the ranchers and farmers who built this state—Denver Mayor Mike Johnston just blew $3 MILLION in taxpayer money on a PR campaign telling people to eat less.

The Lawsuit Against HB25-1296 Is Not Just Justified—It's Essential. The lawsuit challenging HB25-1296 isn’t just legally sound—it’s absolutely necessary to defend the constitutional rights of Colorado taxpayers, especially those in rural communities who were thrown under the bus.
Not only does this violate TABOR, but the polling on it is absolutely brutal for Colorado Democrats. #copolitics #coleg.
