We have an important question

We have a question for you: If you knew that a $3 donation wouldn’t only help keep MAGA Republicans out of power here in Colorado, but all across the country, wouldn’t that donation be worth it? We think so… but we’ll be honest: There is a catch. No, $3 alone can’t win the midterms for Democrats …

We don't remember voting for this

Do you remember voting for a war tax in the last election? We sure don’t. And yet, we’re paying one. We’ve all felt the pinch at the gas pump in the last few weeks. But that’s not the only way we’re paying for Trump’s failures abroad. Airlines are increasing checked baggage fees to offset fuel…

“Go home and be a mother to your child, Brittany.”

[link removed] [[link removed]] Have you ever noticed how narrow the definition of success is for moms, according to the so-called ‘pro-family’ Republican party? If I go to work, I’m depriving my children of a present mother. If I bring my newborn with me to work, I’m “using him as a prop” …

Feeling screwed by DC? That's by design.

Growing up, many of us were sold a vision of the American Dream: Work hard, save your money wisely, and you’ll live a good life. But that just doesn’t exist anymore. If it feels like it’s impossible to get ahead these days, that’s by design. MAGA Republicans have said it themselves time and time …

MAGA Republicans just found their loophole

Do you have a moment to let me tell you about my new opponent? I’ll dive into the details in a second, but I think it’s important that you know: I’ve been standing up to Trump and his dangerous agenda for years. That’s made Colorado Republicans extremely desperate to kick me out of Congress. And si…

SCOTUS just overturned Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy

We’re coming to you with disappointing (but unsurprising) news: Trump’s Supreme Court just overturned Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy. We’ve all watched in horror as Donald Trump and his MAGA movement have turned LGBTQ+ kids into a political target. All the while, the LGBTQ+ community hasn’t…

Donald Trump votes by mail. Why can’t we?

Want to know something that makes us furious? Trump and his MAGA buddies have said it ‘til they’re blue in the face: Essential services like health care and food assistance are just too expensive for our country to afford. But Trump spending $400 million on his lavish, gold-crusted ballroom? $…

Oil baron billionaires are making off like bandits

MAGA Republicans are at it again. After the Senate failed to pass the Save Act due to (rightful) public outcry, Trump and his allies are bombarding Congress with dozens of iterations of the same bill. But these are no ordinary voter ID bills. They’re voter suppression — full stop. If any versi…
