It’s hard to find myself here again. This site has gotten worse, but many of you still feel like friends. Despite the trolls, I want to share this about my mother, who passed away. Her life as a working-class immigrant mother tells an American story that feels unimaginable now.
Despite my better judgment (the risk of being harassed by trolls) many people on this app feel like friends, so I wanted to share this post about my late father who passed away last week. His life epitomized the American Dream—a dream that often seems elusive today. 🧵

My proposal: a 1-cent surcharge fee on every campaign text sent in Colorado, paid by the campaigns.
It funds a public matching fund for small-dollar donations, like NYC’s, so we can get big money out of politics.
Spam us all you want. Just pay for democracy while you do it.
Thanks to Denver Democrats, Colorado is ranked the second most dangerous, second most expensive, and sixth most regulated state in the nation.
Don't be fooled. Democrats haven't made your life better, they've destroyed it.

RT @DeepNotShallow: "Liberal commentator and consultant" damn, what happened to "liberal provocateur?"
But yep... I'm a YES on Amendment 85, Plain Language Ballot Questions, as a lefty progressive even though Advance Colorado brought it...😬🧵
I've seen enough insubordination from both DSA locals and the NPC. Something must be done.
I'll be organizing to introduce a resolution at the next DSA convention that we adopt The Chicago Manual of Style.
We must put an end to this typographical heresy.
NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions tonight regarding Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, setting up processes to potentially force DSA's Los Angeles chapter to rescind its endorsement of her campaign and/or expel her from DSA.
Here are copies of the 2 resolutions that passed:
Rescinding endorsement:
Expulsion:

I have thoughts on the whole DSA NPC & Nithya Raman situation.
But the most pressing issue is that DSA needs a national style guide. Arial? Mismatched bullets? Different margins & spacing on every page?
Comrades, please, someone hire an editor.
That ABQ DMA gots to be the cheapest air time in the country tho

This is the toughest district in Colorado to buy TV for.
CO-CD3 has the Denver DMA, Grand Junction DMA, CO Springs/Pueblo DMA, and even the Albuquerque DMA.

7D-1R Colorado without gerrymandering is hilarious

NEW: House Majority PAC, which previously cut about $30K in TV ad reservations in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, told me it's tapping into the roughly $1M in reservations it has left and is going up with ads tomorrow. #copolitics
Manny Rutinel is NOT running as a progressive. He's an empty suit sold to the highest bidder which is corporate money. He'll vote closer to Fetterman than any Democrat in Colorado.
He's running a platform that is more right-wing than Talarico in Texas.

#IAPol: "No Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules. It's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too."
Josh Turek is up with a new #IASen ad.
Future reservations:
🔵$18.0M 🔴$15.5M
Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate.
President @BarackObama & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight.
