Everyone wants higher wages. Making jobs more expensive doesn’t create more of them. Congress can mandate $15 an hour, but it can’t stop employers from cutting jobs or automating them. Bumper stickers can’t repeal economics.
My MAGA congressman doesn't want to upset his corporate donors and raise the minimum wage. It is shameful that we haven't raised the federal minimum wage since I was making $7.25 at McDonald's 15 years ago.
Everyone deserves a living wage.
Join the fight. Send this to someone who should vote.

✅ The top 10% pay 70% of federal individual income taxes.
✅ Colorado K-12 funding is up $2.5 billion (34%) since 2019.
✅ Single-payer healthcare could require up to $3 trillion more in annual subsidies by 2030. More taxes doesn’t guarantee more doctors or shorter waits.

No way, you’re telling me this for the first time.

I had the privilege of interning for Dr. Feulner in 2012. He was a man of principle, wit, and tenacity. Conservatives were fortunate to have such a titan at the forefront the movement for so many years. Onward.
The Heritage Foundation released the following statement today from Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts and Board of Trustees Chairman Barb Van Andel-Gaby, lauding the legacy and mourning the loss of Heritage Founder Edwin J. Feulner:
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Edwin J. Feulner, founder, trustee, and the longest-serving president of The Heritage Foundation.
Ed Feulner was more than a leader—he was a visionary, a builder, and a patriot of the highest order. His unwavering love of country and his determination to safeguard the principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in human history shaped every fiber of the conservative movement—and still do.
Ed founded The Heritage Foundation in 1973, planting a flag for Truth in a town too often seduced by power. What started as a small outpost for conservative ideas became—under Ed’s tireless leadership—the intellectual arsenal for the Reagan Revolution and the modern conservative movement. In the four decades that followed, Ed’s foresight, discipline, and moral clarity made Heritage a battleship, unshaken by political winds and focused solely on fighting for the American people.
After leading Heritage for 37 years as president, Ed continued to serve on our Board of Trustees, offering encouragement and sage advice in equal measure. Ed was an important mentor to us, respectively, and to all of those who had the honor of knowing him. In addition to his work at Heritage, he continued his active participation in many other conservative organizations.
Whether he was bringing together the various corners of the conservative movement at meetings of the Philadelphia Society, or launching what is now the Heritage Strategy Forum, Ed championed a bold, “big-tent conservatism.” He believed in addition, not subtraction. Unity, not uniformity. One of his favorite mantras was ‘You win through multiplication and addition, not through division and subtraction.’ His legacy is not just the institution he built, but the movement he helped grow—a movement rooted in faith, family, freedom, and the founding.
His ‘Feulnerisms’ still resonate in the halls of Heritage—where they will always be remembered. ‘People are policy,’ for instance— the heartbeat of his mission—to equip, encourage, and elevate a new generation of conservative leaders, not just in Washington, but across this great country. And we still remember his adjuration to never be complacent or discouraged: ‘In Washington, there are no permanent victories and no permanent defeats.’
Ed himself seemed immune to discouragement. Every day was, for him, a new opportunity to strike a blow for freedom, to further the promise of America and make it a reality for all. His was a life of joyful defiance in the face of tyranny and bureaucratic decay—a life defined by courage, conviction, and the word he signed off with every single day: Onward!
To his beloved wife, Linda, their children, and grandchildren—we extend our deepest prayers and condolences. And to Ed—we say thank you. Thank you for showing us what one faithful, fearless man can do when he refuses to cede ground in the fight for self-governance.
The Heritage Foundation will honor Ed’s life the best way we know how: by carrying his mission forward with courage, integrity, and determination. We will never forget his leadership, his example, or his favorite charge:
“Onward. Always.”

Honored to join the Daniels Fund team and support meaningful work carrying forward Bill Daniels’ legacy.
Please join us in welcoming @JonathanKFiner to the Daniels Fund as a Grants Program Officer!
Jonathan brings extensive policy and communications experience from the White House Office of Management and Budget, U.S. Department of Labor, Colorado House of Representatives, and Ready Colorado. His background in public service and coalition building, combined with a deep commitment to community well-being, makes him a valuable addition to our team. In his new role, Jonathan will help lead the Fund’s work in addressing homelessness and addiction, two of our strategic priority areas that aim to promote dignity, independence, and lasting change for individuals and families across our four-state region.
“Bill Daniels believed in giving people the opportunity to build a better life, and that starts with restoring stability and hope,” Jonathan said. “I’m honored to join the Daniels Fund and support work that lifts individuals out of crisis and into community.”

Ready has supported pro-Second Amendment stalwarts. RMGO has supported candidates with disgraceful records and no business in public office. Character is what separated our choices. 🇺🇸
Ready Colorado dumped tens of thousands of dollars AGAINST 100% pro-gun candidates and propped up establishment stooges like Lisa Frizell who tried to ram far-left social media censorship down our throats.
It’s clear, they are controlled opposition.

Big thanks to @RepWeinberg and the House members who honored and shared memories of our friend and my old boss @hmckean. No surprise that the room was full of laughter. Even now, Hugh still finds a way to light up the place.
The House just passed HJR25-1026 by @RepWeinberg, designating State Highway 402 from US-287 to I-25 as the Rep. Hugh McKean Memorial Highway—a tribute to a dedicated leader whose heart and humor left a lasting mark on Colorado.

@ColoradoEA is robbing kids of another day of learning to play politics at the Capitol. What will the union bosses tell the single mom that can’t find last minute child care and has to take an unpaid day off instead of going to work? Let her eat cake? #copolitics #edcolo
“The behavior of Weingarten and of other teachers’-union grandees during Covid-19 deprived students of in-person learning far longer than even the most abundant caution could have justified.” - @jackbutler4815 🔥
+1 for far-left staffers working less hours per week heading into a Republican Congress and Administration.
Progressive Hill staff are asking for a 32-hour workweek
"We write today to encourage you to consider adopting a proposal that would improve worker satisfaction, increase staff retention in Congress, and model a more sustainable approach to work on a national level."

Great job with the due diligence @CBSMornings. I’m not President Biden’s DNSA. This must be how @MattGertz feels on the daily.
President Biden “directed” members of his administration ”to work very closely with our incoming counterparts from the president-elect’s team” in order to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas, Deputy National Security Adviser @JonathanKFiner tells CBS Mornings.

How much money did @cologop spend to support Evans?
Colorado now has equal representation in the US House of representatives! 4 R and 4 D reps. This is huge win for the @cologop and @RepDaveWilliams!
#RedWave #MAGA
@playbookdc seems annoyed the first female White House COS will be during a Republican administration. If this happened under a Democrat they’d be comparing her to Susan B. Anthony and calling for a parade down Pennsylvania Ave.
