Taxing the rich can literally be on the ballot this November in Colorado! Support the Graduated Income Tax measure: a tax cut for 97% of us, a tax increase on only the top 3%, raising $2 billion for healthcare, schools, & infrastructure Go to protectcoloradosfuture to volunteer
This fall, the future of Colorado won't be Phil Weiser vs Victor Marx. That's already decided. (Phil by +20pts) It's really Michael Fields vs Chris Kennedy as their orgs dual over the future of tax policy. The ballot questions in November are the real progressive fight.
Sarah Parady was an excellent City Councilwoman, a member of Denver DSA and a staunch supporter of progressive policies. She leaves large shoes to fill. It's imperative that Parady's seat this November goes to a member of the Left.
Listen, online polls are inaccurate, but it's hilarious that Abdul El-Sayed is sitting at 96% for who Fox 2 Detroit viewers think won tonight's debate.
Going LIVE in 30 minutes from Melat Kiros's watch party as we dissect results as they come in up and down the ballot in Colorado! We'll be having numerous Special Guests who are in attendance stopping by! Check it out here: www.instagram.com/leftintheatt...
Melat put out this statement already about the boulder firebombing and fighting Anti-Semitism and hate on June 5th. I wouldn't take a few sound bites out of the context of her whole character! Thanks for the vote. Change is coming for Denver!
BREAKING: The Colorado Democratic Party's State Central Committee votes 89.8% to CONDEMN Jared Polis's decision to grant clemency to Tina Peters. He is now BANNED as an honored guest, speaker, or from any recognition at any party-sponsored events or functions. Full statement:
Shannon Bird is funded by the same class that gave us Gabe Evans & Trump. Her donors include AIPAC bundlers, former AIPAC board members & the Fox News Murdoch family. A Democrat taking AIPAC & Fox News money?! Colorado Dems must condemn this. Shannon Bird must be defeated. Manny Rutinel must win
Colorado Attorney General Forum with all FOUR Democractic candidates Hosted by the Denver Bar Association and the Diversity Bars! I'll post updates later! Jena Griswold faces an audience of actual attorneys today... We'll see how it goes.
Lakewood is strip malls, empty lots, and failing businesses. Pro-density zoning would have been great for young families. Boomers are destroying our nation and pulling the ladder behind them. Also why is this election in April and not November? #copolitics #coleg
Bennet drops 5% favorable & grows 8% unfavorable in just 1 year. Zero attack ads running against him. That is the craziest glass jaw I have ever seen for a candidate Once voters actually learn this race, Bennet collapses & Phil Weiser wins. It's not a question of if but when
If you're a young Democrat sitting here wondering why Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer didn't pass the War Powers Resolution when they had a chance and passed Trump's war budget... Well... *taps sign*
My friends at Colorado Muslim Vote, representing 100k+ Muslims across Colorado, just dropped this statement: Michael Bennet pulled out of their gubernatorial forum because he refused to answer questions about his record on Gaza. Read it. Share it. Remember it June 30th. #copolitics
I have never seen political momentum like this in Denver. 200+ showed up Saturday to canvass for Melat Kiros. 200+ signed up for every 👏 single 👏 weekend 👏 until June 28th. 100k+ doors getting knocked. DSA is about to shake up Denver politics. No more do nothing politicians. #copolitics
That empty chair speaking VERY loudly Michael Bennet will only show up for his billionaire out-of-state donors like Michael Bloomberg. Phil Weiser will show up everywhere across Colorado with every community. The comparison could not be clearer.
Michael Bennet cancelled last minute on the Colorado Muslim Vote Governor Forum tonight b/c he refused to take questions about Gaza. He wants to run on his "experience" but won't answer for his Senate votes. Phil Weiser is here w/ community. That contrast tells you everything #copolitics
The fact that BlueSky is insanely against Graham Platner while he puts up crazy numbers against Janet Mills sorta proves that this website is full of the most out of touch liberals on the Internet
I love the Colorado Sun and the work Jesse does. This isn't about ethics or access. I was wrong to even imply that and am happy to apologize and clarify.
Diana DeGette lost her seniority after the 2019 Congress. Both Joe Neguse and Jason Crow outrank her among DC Democrats Denver deserves a real fighter. Not a washed up back-bencher who has passed less than 10 bills in 30 years. Neguse has done more in just 8 yrs than her 30. #copolitics
🍿 Watching Colorado GOP fight over literal table scraps. 33 out of 100 seats in the legislature. Going down to 29 after this November. Guaranteed to lose a congressional seat, maybe 2 as well. Oh how I wish the national GOP was this incompetent. #copolitics
From March 2025: Again it's been an open secret for years that Jena Griswold is very very abusive to staff. Democrats need to wake up and realize we cannot nominate her. She will be a terrible Attorney General.
BREAKING: 7 former Jena Griswold staffers just went public. Bullying. Retaliation. ABUSE. NDAs to cover it up. Jena wants to be Colorado's Attorney General but she is unqualified. If Democrats are serious about workers, we CANNOT allow Jena to move forward as a candidate #copolitics #coleg 🧵1/x
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is the only thing stopping 1 company from owning over half of Denver's broadcast TV market. He's sued Trump 60+ times & won most, but this might be one of his most consequential cases to date. May the force be with you, we need a win here
Joe Neguse, Jason Crow, & Brittany Pettersen get protested too for similar votes. But none of them have chased a voter, put hands on them, or yelled. Thirty years in office and DeGette thinks she’s untouchable. Denver has gotten nothing from her. It’s time for change. #copolitics
Michael Bennet voted for Trump's Cabinet that directly cut funding for Colorado. Phil Weiser sued and won against the Trump administration to get that funding back Enough is enough. It's VITAL that Phil win Governor so we don't have someone who bends the knee to Trump as Governor. #copolitics
Hope has arrived in Denver, Colorado!! DSA and Justice Democrat backed Melat Kiros WALLOPED 30-year incumbent Dianna DeGette for the first time at assembly. By over 30 pts mind you!! DeGette is now just 3% away from missing the Ballot entirely! DEMOCRATIC TEA PARTY LIVES #copolitics
Some old school Colorado politicos still think nearly 80 year old Hickenlooper has the juice. But Kalshi traders just rocketed Julie Gonzales’ odds of winning the Democratic Senate primary to nearly even. The grassroots smell blood. Hickenlooper about to get RETIRED #copolitics
If Trump’s Iran war supercharges Democratic turnout while parts of his coalition stay home, you could see a 2006-style wave Seats like Alaska, Montana, Iowa, Ohio, and even Texas could flip. Add likely pickups in Maine and North Carolina while holding Georgia and Michigan.
