Increasing work requirements isn’t going to increase workforce participation. It’s going to increase hunger. I’m glad Newsweek is clear about this (and grateful I had a chance to comment in this piece).

SNAP work rules may lead to loss of benefits

New SNAP rules have raised concerns about employment and potential loss of benefits.

“As much as we are being lied to by this administration…perhaps the most dangerous falsehoods are the ones we tell ourselves about the severity of the crisis…
Whatever becomes of American liberal democracy…it will be a resurrection and not a continuation.”

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Trump targeted Colorado in his campaign.

How long until we become the next state filled with military personnel trying to intimidate Americans?

Nicolais: Troops across Colorado? It won't be long.

As President Trump continues to deploy military forces in cities across the country, Colorado cities should be prepared for the same treatment sooner than later

I took a little time away from <everything> to appreciate the mountains up close. It is peak aspen season.

A flat plain with brown brush lies in front of a valley covered in evergreen trees that lead up to a mountain peak shaded red by the autumn leaves of low bushes above the tree line. A few patches of golden aspens are interspersed among the evergreens.

A mountainside covered in evergreen trees has a large patch of golden aspens at the base with just a few evergreen trees in front of it.

A valley filled with golden aspens and dark green evergreens extend below a mountain peak that is dusted with snow.

A mountain stream is bordered by golden aspens and tall evergreens.

Pay attention to all this. There is a systemtic deterioration of the ability of the federal government to compile accurate statistics on a timely basis. And the ready and timely information is one of the reasons why our economy has been the greatest in the world for a long time.

#BLS has delayed the 2024 Consumer Expenditures Survey annual release. This is likely due to the severe understaffing in the agency.
Staff losses and hiring freeze are taking their toll.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois—U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants.

People screamed: “Who are you? Where are you taking them?”

This is authoritarian control in real time.

Seven months after they voted to confirm anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the nation’s health secretary, some Republican senators are having second thoughts.

Why some Republicans are newly worried about RFK Jr.

GOP senators say his moves on vaccines are risky for public health. They also may be bad politics.

Please note that this is based on state laws but different things may be happening on the ground, and some pharmacies are defaulting to federal guidelines instead of state laws.
