A big win for the children of New Mexico, our friend and neighbor (even if their Hatch chile isn’t as good as our Pueblo Chile)
New Mexico is officially in! Thank you, @GovMLG for opting into the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit. Gov. Lujan Grisham just unlocked hundreds of millions a year for tutoring, after-school and summer learning for New Mexico students and families.

Colorado native and Fairview High School graduate Jessica Watkins voted from space today. If she can vote from the International Space Station 250 miles above us, surely you can vote from down the street. Voting is out of this world!

I am so saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart, an amazing actor and human. His roles as Captain Picard and as Professor X truly helped inspire my own leadership journey along with so many others. Loving and nurturing the good in everyone wasn’t just written into those roles, but Sir Patrick Stewart performances truly gave them life and meaning. When we dream of a fairer, more just, and more united world, it’s only our actions that can “make it so.”

The non-partisan tax foundation found that high income taxes hurt growth. It’s critical that Colorado voters reject Amendment 87 which would make Colorado the 9th highest taxed state. It’s not to late to vote No on amendment 87
States with no individual income tax (Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, and others) consistently rank among the strongest gainers, while states with the highest top rates (California at 13.3 percent, New York at 10.9 percent, and New Jersey at 10.75 percent) dominate the list of largest losers.

Rumi is my favorite demon hunter!
Victor Marx's $7.5M/yr ministry pitches his exorcisms as the solution for homosexuality, murder, even low self-esteem. I reviewed 100+ hours of Marx's sermons and speaking gigs for an in-depth look at the demon hunter who wants to be Colorado's Governor. 9news.com/article/news/polit…

I’m not scared of anyone. I just care deeply about our state and don’t want the socialists to destroy it. In a Colorado for all we don’t think less of anyone because of their net worth. Whether you have no money or are millionaire, we love you in Colorado and want you thrive. ❤️ "Thanks to socialism, the average Zimbabwean became a trillionaire.”
Jared Polis is one of the wealthiest individuals in Colorado, so it's no surprise that he is scared of Democratic Socialists who want to make him pay his fair share.

Happy 250th birthday, USA! 🇺🇸 Here in Colorado, we’re like the kid with a birthday on Christmas Day: yes, it’s America’s big year — but it’s our birthday year too! Don’t forget us! Colorado turns 150 this year. We’re called the Centennial State because we became a state in 1876, exactly 100 years after the birth of the United States, so our birthdays have always been linked. Fortunately we have our own day to celebrate our 150th—August 1st—which is “Colorado Day.” Happy 250th to the United States, and happy 150th to Colorado! 🎂🏔️

Congratulations to Phil Weiser on winning the Democratic primary for Governor of Colorado! I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Phil during my time as Governor, and I have seen firsthand his strong work ethic, excellent character, thoughtful judgment, and deep commitment to Colorado. I’m proud to join so many Coloradans in supporting my friend Phil Weiser in the general election this November as we work together to keep Colorado moving forward.

I have killed zero people, and you can take that to the bank.
Replying to @KyleClark
Victor Marx claims to have been forced to kill a man at age 7. And he talks about the necessity of killing people in the course of his "high-risk missionary" work. So I asked him how many people he's killed on his missions. "Does it matter?" Marx said.

We ought ‘ter celebrate World Otter Day!
Happy World Otter Day, Colorado! This year, as we celebrate America 250 and Colorado 150, we’re also recognizing 50 years since river otters were successfully reintroduced to our state, a great Colorado conservation success story. Thanks to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s work, these playful and important animals are back in our rivers, helping keep our ecosystems healthy for future generations.

Leading by example and eating healthy carrots! 🥕
Governor Polis' first press conference since he granted clemency to Tina Peters focused on healthy foods. POLIS: "While I chew on the carrot, any questions?" (reporters asked about Peters/clemency) POLIS: "I'm going to finish chewing my carrot."

I agree. There were very few out icons and the presence of Barney at the highest levels of government helped show us what was possible
Can’t begin to tell you how big of a deal Barney Frank was when you’re a closeted high school kid in the early 90’s who just wants to be accepted for who he is, the same access to privileges afforded to everyone else, but doesn’t think anyone in government understands what you’re going through.

While I don’t agree with him on many issues, @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY has the most integrity of anyone in Congress, and he’s super-smart. I’m truly saddened to see our nation lose out on his ongoing public service. Better times: grist.org/article/these-elec…

Welcome to the Democratic Party! The broad tent majority party of freedom, the rule of law, limited government, and protecting all of our constitutional rights!
I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.
