the overall unemployment rate in California is now not flat but **down** over the past year, after fears that recent aggressive wage floor and sectoral bargaining negotiations would tick the rate up. similar story in Colorado where key cities like Denver have also risked hikes.

The last ounce of democracy left in this nation can be found at the Logan Terminal B Dunkin. Commitment to equality rivaled only, maybe, by the dmv

"This November 3rd, vote like your job depends on it, because with Manny, it just might." Literally just your job, Gabe. Just yours.
Manny Rutinel is a Democrat Socialist — learned it at Yale. While he was preaching socialism, veganism, and getting arrested for protesting the oil and gas industry, I was serving our country as a U.S. Army Captain and then as a cop right here in Colorado. This November 3rd, vote like your job depends on it, because with Manny, it just might.

Really hope Rep Brown, JBC member and Vice Chair of the Medicaid Oversight and Advisory Commission, is telling Rep Hurd all about how his Medicaid cuts are devastating the state budget
For eleven days every year, Pueblo becomes the gathering place for rural Colorado. I appreciated the opportunity to join the State Fair Legislative Roundtable, but some of the best conversations happened outside of it, talking with farmers, ranchers, local leaders, and families about water, agriculture, and the challenges facing our communities. There is no substitute for showing up and listening. Thanks to everyone who stopped to say hello and tell me what is happening back home. Always good to be in Pueblo. #CO03 #ILovePueblo

A re-election ad in which Phil Scott names exactly zero initiatives from his ten years as Governor, just policies he's diminished or vetoed.
Vermont's Republican Gov. Phil Scott in new ad: "Property taxes are still out of control, which is why we can't afford to go back. We need to double down on electing common sense leaders who will actually work with me to finally make Vermont more affordable."

Social dancing was foundational to the development of my political analysis and I tend to get weird looks when I tell people that. Hopefully this helps explain🥹

Hotel Boulderado workers were joined by the Boulder community in a march through Boulder! Allies, union members, CU Boulder students and many more rallied together to ask Sundance to support the hotel workers’ call for a fair process. Sundance: Support Hotel Boulderado workers!

This whole admin is just the saddest version of the dog catching the car. The conservative project is centered around endlessly needling governance. Any Republican capable of enacting actual policy was purged from MAGA ages ago. This is what remains.
The key to understanding Trump's cabinet is realizing that 90% of them would rather be doing podcasts, cable news shows and viral political slop videos than actually running the government.

My low confidence in Jena just hit a new low. Please join me in under-voting for AG.
9NEWS will not host a debate in the race for Colorado Attorney General for the first time in recent history. Republican Michael Allen agreed to debate but Democrat Jena Griswold was unwilling to debate.

Send the elderly to the mines: the GOP platform
Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare: "I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."

Demanding that DOJ investigate the *checks notes* Colorado Youth Coalition seems like an efficient use of government resources thanks jeff nice work
BREAKING: I have sent a letter to @TheJusticeDept requesting an investigation into the violence that broke out at the Denver anti-ICE protest on Friday. Multiple journalists and counterprotestors, including some of my constituents from Colorado’s Fifth District, were assaulted & sustained serious injuries. Freedom of speech doesn’t allow you to assault those you disagree with.

babe wake up Ms. Rachel just endorsed Troy Jackson
Ms. Rachel, from Maine, expresses support for Troy Jackson: "He doesn't want our tax money funding bombing kids…traumatizing kids in ICE detention." "He wants Maine families to be able to afford childcare, he wants Medicare for all, and paid family leave when babies are born."

“flat tax fueled growth” just sit with that, conceptually, for a second. Use your delicate little brain. Can that claim possibly be true?
Colorado’s 4.4% flat tax and strict spending limits helped fuel decades of growth. Democratic Socialists now want to nearly double the top tax rate and drive successful small businesses out. Call it the California-ization of Colorado. Rocky Mountain high taxes are coming.

we are all, metaphorically, that lobster
When asked about one of her personal heroines, Margaret Chase Smith, Susan Collins pushed back on those urging her to be more like the former Maine senator. “They never would have voted for her. She was very conservative,” she told our @jmart. 🎧politi.co/4qNGXdc
