The Trump Budget will end SNAP benefits for 100,000+ Coloradans - including kids and seniors- all to fund historic tax breaks for the wealthy. This means more hunger and more families forced to choose between rent and food.

A record number of people are being forced to leave their homes, according to a new report from Denver County Court. Allie Jennerjahn reports on what city leaders are seeing contribute to that data. denver7.com/news/front-ran…

Covered countless press conferences in 20+ yrs in journalism. I've seen critics, including elected officials, show up to question/confront speakers. I've never seen anything like this in response.

Incredible work from @alpinerescue on the summit of Torreys last week to save two climbers hit by lighting.

According to #research, the expanded #SNAP work requirements proposed in the House reconciliation bill would result in 2.7 million #families and 5.4 million people losing some or all of their family’s SNAP benefits in a month. Learn more in an Urban brief. urbn.is/3FFAI8s

This is Colorado Senator Julie Gonzales’ first post in a year!!! WE’RE SO BACK BABY HOPE IS ON THE MENU AND WE’RE SAVING THE DAMN COUNTRY

What could possibly go wrong?

Absolutely.

We got to host Zaakir Tameez at Community Economic Defense Project last night to talk about his new book: Charles Sumner, Conscience of a Nation. Great conversation about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Sumner's unfinished work.

This is such a disaster. 1M+ people in this state rely on medicaid to see a doctor. We're putting that at risk so we can give a massive tax break to millionaires.

Just appalling.... taking healthcare away from millions of Americans who desperately need it to survive.

I strongly oppose the proposed Medicaid healthcare cuts in the federal bill. These Republican-backed cuts are poised to kick hundreds of thousands of Coloradans off their health coverage, driving up costs for everyone, and threatening our rural hospitals.

There is so much wrong with this bill: 1. Kicks tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people in CO off Medicaid so they can't see a doctor. 2. Decimates the state budget, making it even harder to pay for schools and basic services. 3. Cuts taxes for the richest Americans.

According to data from Denver County Court, in the first half of 2025 alone, 7,957 evictions were filed in Denver, each one representing a household on the brink of losing their home in an increasingly unaffordable city. (1/5)

Great story from Sam Tabachnik in Sunday's The Denver Post - describing how renters face eviction for unpaid utilities- a prohibited practice. You can have the law on your side- but if you don't know the rules of the game- you can still get evicted. denverpost.com/2025/08/17/col…
