Trump is turning the presidency into a tool for revenge. He freely admits he’s weaponizing the Department of Justice to carry out vengeance against perceived enemies. This destroys a long-standing precedent, and its cascade of negative consequences will long outlive this President’s nefarious reign.

President Trump breaks precedents as easily as he breaks commitments. But some precedents really matter. A President should never, not ever, use the might of the federal government to harm or intimidate their opponents.
(Continued)
This is intimidation. It does nothing to lower costs for working families and is an excuse to speedrun Project 2025.
We can fund the government and lower health care costs. Why wouldn’t Republicans take that deal?
Here’s the math: Trump needs 7 Democrats in the Senate to agree to his bill to fund the government.
But he just flip-flopped on negotiating with us yet again.
I’m a No vote unless we address sky-high costs caused by health care cuts and tariffs.
Peddling conspiracy theories based on no scientific evidence whatsoever puts Americans at risk.
The cuts to Medicaid from the Republican-championed “Big Beautiful Betrayal” will leave seniors bankrupt and force nursing homes to close. youtube.com/shorts/eCcrU...
Donald Trump knows the Senate can’t pass a bill to fund the government without 7 Democratic votes. So why is he refusing to negotiate?
I will not be one of those 7 unless we address skyrocketing costs caused by health care cuts and tariffs.
On Rosh Hashanah, we wish our Jewish community in Colorado and around the globe a blessed new year. Shana Tova!
Welcome to Autumn, Colorado 🍁
I’m a ‘No’ on Republicans’ continuing resolution unless they work with us to lower costs. For me, that means supporting rural hospitals, making sure Americans keep their health care, and ending Trump’s tariffs.
Trump’s tariffs are increasing prices and crushing small businesses. Republicans voted to kick 15 million people off their health care to pay for huge tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
They’re breaking promises to lower costs and driving us into a recession.
Republicans have the White House. They have the House AND the Senate. You’re telling me they can’t figure out how to fund the government?
It’s madness.
Reposted bySenator John Hickenlooper
We had the top two public health officials in the U.S. testify in the Senate today. RFK fired them for not bowing to his anti-science views.
I asked them: What keeps you up at night with RFK still at the helm of America’s public health?
Trump’s tariffs are taxes on working Americans.
RFK Jr. replaced all 17 independent CDC vaccine advisors with ideologues and now they’re restricting Americans’ access to vaccines and peddling anti-science conspiracies.
This is NOT how you make America healthy.
Today, Republicans voted to rubberstamp Trump’s agenda and block our effort to lower health care costs, restore coverage, and save rural hospitals.
If Republicans would work with us to avoid a shutdown, they’d help lower costs and protect health care for working Americans at the same time.
Working families can’t afford Trump’s reckless and amoral tariff-taxes.
The health of our kids and communities is at risk under RFK’s leadership and his elevation of anti-science views.
The Trump admin accused a TV show of catering to an audience they don’t like so they cancelled it.
It’s a clear message that if you don’t parrot what they want, they’ll come for you.
Free speech is under attack.
