Monthly @DenverDems happy hour in full swing. Good people, good conversation, good beer. This is the work and it doesn’t always look like work. 🫏

You don’t have to be a believer to recognize what Pope Leo XIV is offering the world right now. Humility. Service. The dignity of every person. Power that builds rather than devours. That is not just a religious message. That is a human one. #Peace #Leadership

Hungary just voted out Viktor Orbán after 16 years. JD Vance flew to Budapest to rally for him. Trump promised Hungary economic support if Orbán won. The Hungarian people said no anyway.

Take notes, America. Democracy is stubborn like that.

Court blocks new Texas congressional map

Congresswoman Adelina Grijalva brought the kind of moral clarity Democrats everywhere should lead with. I’m inspired, fired up, and ready to bring that same energy into 2026.

A bunch of pennies

RIP to the penny. 1909–2025. You were shiny, annoying, and somehow always in my car cupholder. The last coin we retired, the half-cent in 1857, was worth about 15¢ in today’s money. Maybe it’s time to rethink the whole small-change system.

The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system.

The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.

Republicans would prefer we blame each other rather than the people truly at fault for rising costs—the GOP and billionaires.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Texas Republicans are trying to gerrymander their maps to rig 2026 and now we are facing a possible mid-decade census. The cheat is happening before our eyes and as Americans are we really just going to allow it? Are there really no principled Republicans willing to stand up to this?

Fleetwood Mac’s White Album on vinyl

Released 50 years ago this month: Fleetwood Mac’s White Album, the first of five studio albums to feature the band’s most successful lineup of Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks 🐧

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

Court nixes leaving medical debt off credit reports The rule would have wiped an estimated $49 billion from some 15 million Americans' credit reports.

NEW: A Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas just vacated a Biden-era rule that would have removed medical debt from credit scores. This is going to push people deeper into debt and financial turmoil.

There’s nothing more pure and American than Superman, and MAGA guys being mad about him validates my 45+ year adoration of the character.

I'm excited for Friday!

Carl Sagan on why books are human’s greatest invention:

George likes the bananas!!!!

When the platform that allowed death threat posts against President Biden and VP Harris takes down your post, you know your hatred and vitriol levels are off the charts.

Let's be very clear. Loomer wasn't joking when she posted about ending the lives of the entire Hispanic population in the U.S.

Trump said he would lower your costs. He lied.
Trump said he’d lower the deficit. He lied.
Trump said he wouldn’t cut your health care. He lied.

The proof is in his budget.

Congresswoman Bynum wants answers from ICE, amid reports of targeted raids in Central Oregon BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- As reports from nonprofits swirl about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Central Oregon, Rep. Janelle Bynum is asking them whether it is targeting immigrant ...

An America where masked men in unmarked cars are snatching people off the streets as they run their daily errands is not an America we can accept.

This isn't law enforcement, it's state-sponsored fear.

Pay attention: Senate Republicans are trying to ram through extreme anti-abortion judges right under our noses.

Their goal? A nationwide abortion ban.

I’ll keep fighting back against nominees that want to take away our freedoms.

When cruelty is seen as patriotic, compassion is seen as treasonous.

Juneteenth is a celebration of liberation and a reminder that our work isn’t done. We’re proud to march and celebrate alongside community today in Denver.
