usually i spend tuesdays playing league of legends with friends, but instead i'll be listening to a man who tried to end democracy and who is having his agents execute citizens and noncitizens alike lie for 90 minutes while bemoaning the best parts of america's aspirational culture. follow along!

Deportation is bad for the economy exhibit number five hundred million bajillion
“That’s not a glitch, that’s the business model” 😮💨
does "congress fucking around" count as a qualifying life event? asking for 22 million friends
Equifax is already advertising their employment data verification services to state governments. They're going to make bank off of states because of H.R. 1's Medicaid work requirements at the expense of taxpayers and the public services that we actually need.
Cutting taxes is a brilliant strategy: It eliminates enforcement and undermines people’s faith in government while telling us we’re better off.
Restoring public trust requires restoring public funding.
HSAs will never supplant real health care coverage and that is coming from someone who acts like a smug bitch every time she buys pre-tax tampons.
one hard part about political work is constantly praying that the details of the news about the president from the weekend will remain unspoken among colleagues
wrote "dem senators" and it autocorrected to "demons" help
Emily and Griffin got married but more importantly they let me wear high tops to their wedding 😇
Tabbing away from my brother’s wedding photos to Google “best tacos near me” just really emblematic of where I’m at, broadly speaking
Mayor Mamdani can make progress on his agenda while the center is disarmed because Ross told them Zohran has hit his ceiling. Meanwhile, living the outcomes of Zohran’s policies will be a lifelong politics-defining experience for working people.
Hot take but it might actually helpful to the left to have the token conservative assuaging the moderates.
Reminder for Maine GOP: on the low end, a tipped worker in Maine makes ~$37,500/year. The average income tax cut that HR 1 gives Mainers earning more than $817k/year is $37,540.
Oh also, "no tax on tips" is temporary. The income tax cuts are permanent. #MEpolitics t.co/770rNMfEQC
It’s frankly stunning how the establishment continues to characterize themselves as the safe option when their candidates and policies put us in greater jeopardy with every election. Just really amazing stuff 🤌🏼
“The media” listen to me omg
There is a lot of confusion in the media around Medicaid work requirements in HR 1. ***Work reqs just apply to the Medicaid expansion population***
(States that want to impose work reqs on “regular” Medicaid recipients can still do that through the normal process/apply for a waiver through CMS).
Yesterday was Bisexual Visibility Day but we celebrate year-round by being semi-visible. For example, a Denver Man™️ just asked me if my boot are from [low-quality brand] and I told him no, they're Redwings and is he familiar with the Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness?
"what's the point of AOC and Bernie's fight oligarchy tour?" This. This is the point. Handing the mic to community leaders who are as fed up as the rest of us and have the courage to run. Like Sam, like @daveyseligman.bsky.social, like @carolinegleich.bsky.social (just to name a few).
God has forsaken us?
NEWS: literal chunk of rock more qualified to lead the Department of Health and Human Services
This webinar on the Rural Health Transformation Fund is just CMS employees reading slides…. seemingly at gunpoint like they look so scared and haven’t blinked in the last hour
That’s like 6,000-8,000 oysters
A tight timeline that sends states scrambling to compete for scarce resources is just another way the Trump Admin is weaponizing bureaucracy to impoverish the people.
God bless the kids outside Boulder HS with the “end gun violence” signs, written with sharpie on 8.5x11 printer paper. They’re going to save the world.
I heard David speak last night and yeah, the guy who, off the cuff, quotes FDR and Isaiah 58 is getting my vote to be Colorado’s lawyer.
I hope he’ll get yours too. secure.actblue.com/donate/david...
Renters across our state have too little power in a housing market often rigged against them. So proud to meet with renters last night to talk about what it means to be an Attorney General for renters, how we can level the playing field, and building power in tenant unions. #copolitics
No better way to commemorate the anniversary of the creation of the National Parks Service
