"Saul" and "Juan" work as irrigators in CAs Imperial Valley. Here they are removing the irrigation from the broccoli rapini fields, so that the machine can come in to harvest the crop. #WeFeedYou

Hearing from more than a dozen trans journalists, @HC_onley's takeaway was simply to keep talking to them: don’t assume what they need or restrict their reporting, keep an open dialogue about what they are comfortable doing, create protective structures. cjr.org/feature/reporting-wh…

For decades, families in southeastern Colorado have waited patiently for clean, safe drinking water and, today, Congress failed them. The Arkansas Valley Conduit has united Coloradans across party lines because access to clean drinking water is not a partisan issue — it’s a basic responsibility of the government. I want to thank Representative Boebert and Senator Bennet for their leadership in sponsoring this bill in their respective chambers, and the entire Colorado federal delegation for voting in support of this critical project. When a bipartisan coalition comes together in support of rural communities, public health, and long-standing commitments, Washington should be listening. Letting this veto stand puts politics ahead of people and jeopardizes an initiative that is already under construction and long overdue.

ALT Rep. Lauren Boebert speaks at a press conference surrounded by microphones and officials, addressing Trump's veto on a Colorado water project bill.
"In the West, water means survival."
"But in Congress, political survival for Rs means obeying Trump, even ... [on] the clean drinking water project for CO that passed Congress without opposition, a project he funded & celebrated before ... promising retribution against CO."

Today, we unfortunately did not gain enough Republican support to override Trump's veto of a bipartisan bill to deliver clean water to 50,000 residents in rural Colorado.
Trump's veto is the continuation of his retribution campaign against Colorado, and families in our state will pay the price.
House upholds veto of Boebert's Finish the AVC bill, 248-177. All Colorado Reps voted to override. Only 35 Rs voted for the override. #copolitics.
(this replaces an earlier tweet I deleted because i forgot to mention how CO reps voted.)

Gov. Polis is now calling for a "full investigation" into the killing of the 37-year-old woman, who was shot in the head at close range as she attempted to drive away from federal agents. denver7.com/news/national-ne…

I’m calling for a full investigation into the death of Renee Nicole Good following a tragic incident involving ICE agents in Minnesota. Ms. Good was a mother with ties to the Colorado Springs area, and her family deserves answers, transparency, and accountability.

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.
Hey @denversmayor @ColoradoDOT, can we get these in Denver?
Cars here seem to think the crosswalks are for them & limit lines are where their rear wheels should be. This growing trend threatens my life multiple times a day when I walk & ride. @DenBicycleLobby @pedestrianhonor

Try leaving your sofa🛋️ on the street and see what happens. Leave your private car🚗 there for weeks? Totally fine! Why is that?
