Want to get really upset? Join me for a breakdown of how a small private equity fund consolidated Colorado’s towing industry, allowing them to take cars from our most vulnerable neighbors. Link below if you’d like to see the receipts. https://t.co/afScI1aM0W

I’m running for U.S. Senate so the people who built Colorado can take back control of our healthcare, our homes, and our futures. Working people built Colorado, we deserve a government that finally works for us. Join our campaign: https://t.co/T4pJDRWUYq

Join me, Steph Vigil and @YZokaie this weekend in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins for the next stops on our David vs. the Goliaths Town Hall Tour. We’re talking about what an AG can do to take on a healthcare system that buries people in debt and championing small businesses.

Really wild reporting from @WSJ on private equity firms offshoring reinsurance to avoid legally required capital requirements. Underfunding people's policies so you can gamble with their money somehow isn't illegal? https://t.co/6HL9kM2fCu

Some offshore jurisdictions don’t require insurers to hold as much extra capital in case investments turn sour.

Taking 20% of people's pay when they have unpaid medical bills is just kicking them when they're down. Check out Lois Lupica from @CoEvictionDef talking about medical debt in @FortuneMagazine today.
“You’re really kicking people when they’re down,” said Lois Lupica, with the Denver-based @CoEvictionDef & @Princeton_DCL at Princeton. “They’re basically suing the you-can’t-get-blood-from-a-turnip population.” @KFFHealthNews @fortune

Great story from @sam_tabachnik in Sunday's @denverpost - describing how renters face eviction for unpaid utilities- a prohibited practice. You can have the law on your side- but if you don't know the rules of the game- you can still get evicted. https://t.co/lNkogmmLhC

Residents often don’t know their rights and lack legal representation, leaving them unable to adequately defend themselves in court against well-resourced landlords.

According to data from Denver County Court, in the first half of 2025 alone, 7,957 evictions were filed in Denver, each one representing a household on the brink of losing their home in an increasingly unaffordable city. (1/5)

From WSJ today: [home] buyers would need to earn $127,000 to afford the monthly mortgage repayments on a median-priced home, up from $79,000 in 2021, according to Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. https://t.co/WHcv4EloWn

America’s renter population has hit a record because fewer people can afford to get on the housing ladder.

There is so much wrong with this bill: 1. Kicks tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people in CO off Medicaid so they can't see a doctor. 2. Decimates the state budget, making it even harder to pay for schools and basic services. 3. Cuts taxes for the richest Americans.
Breaking news: The House voted to pass President Trump’s massive tax and immigration bill, sending it to the president’s desk ahead of his July 4 deadline.

I strongly oppose the proposed Medicaid healthcare cuts in the federal bill. These Republican-backed cuts are poised to kick hundreds of thousands of Coloradans off their health coverage, driving up costs for everyone, and threatening our rural hospitals.

Just appalling.... taking healthcare away from millions of Americans who desperately need it to survive.
Republicans say Medicaid work requirements target the lazy. Here’s who could be collateral damage in Colorado. https://t.co/G9lxNoQzyO

This is such a disaster. 1M+ people in this state rely on medicaid to see a doctor. We're putting that at risk so we can give a massive tax break to millionaires.
BREAKING: Republican-controlled Senate narrowly passes President Trump’s sweeping domestic policy package in a 51-50, sending the revised package back to the House.

We got to host @ztameez at @CoEvictionDef last night to talk about his new book: Charles Sumner, Conscience of a Nation. Great conversation about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Sumner's unfinished work.
I’m so excited to announce that my book will be published next week! The book retells the life of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator who co-framed the Reconstruction Amendments. I wrote this book with my blood, sweat & tears as a student at Yale Law School. (1/x)

According to #research, the expanded #SNAP work requirements proposed in the House reconciliation bill would result in 2.7 million #families and 5.4 million people losing some or all of their family’s SNAP benefits in a month. Learn more in an Urban brief. https://t.co/iaj8SPNFwZ

We keep hearing that our cities are violent and broken. What I saw was neighbors hanging out and having a good time. Shout out the event organizers who worked to make it happen.

I took my kid to the No Kings rally and Juneteenth Parade this weekend. Other than the fact that it was unspeakably hot, both events were fun and welcoming.
