Fentanyl is the leading cause of death of 18-45 year olds.SB25-044 would have held drug dealers accountable for peddling poison in our communities. @Dylan_RobertsCO was the only democrat who voted in favor of the bill. We must get serious about these deaths #coleg #copolitics

RT @JDVance: God bless Marc Fogel. And God bless President Trump and Steve Witkoff for fighting so hard to secure his release.

MUST WATCH: in Paris, JD Vance just delivered one of the most morally clear, pro-American, and courageous speeches you will see all about America’s global leadership on AI. 15 minutes of pure FIRE 🔥

“There’s going to be law enforcement officers who cooperate with ICE no matter whether it’s legal,” Pelton said. “I don’t want to make criminals out of police officers just because they are cooperating with federal law enforcement.” #coleg #copolitics

So I’m confused, do you not want the fentanyl crisis to get better? That’s what he is doing with these tariffs l, I don’t care for tariffs either however the President is a master negotiator and he has found a way to solve this terrible situation!! #coleg #copolitics
Americans and Coloradans should not be intentionally hurt with economic pain, hardship, and cost increases on daily life for President Trump’s misguided ideological vendetta against our allies Canada and Mexico.

Gun control is oppressing minorities!! An example of how far back this goes,After his home was bombed in 1956,Martin Luther King Jr. applied for a permit to carry a gun. Despite the potentially deadly threats that King faced,the county sheriff, Mac Sim Butler, said no. #coleg
Kelyn Lanier gave a fire testimony in opposition to SB25-003. This is a MUST WATCH. "Last year.....I provided models for solutions to the problems you now ponder. Your response was unanimous: black voices and lives only matter for a few days in November. And so, here we are again. Pondering crafty ways to chill rights statistically unrelated to the problem at hand. Despite our cries for real representation, despite the immutability of objective reality we are all but invisible in the shadow of party politics…yet bear the brunt of their consequence." Kelyn also contributed a guest article on We The Second, discussing the racist history of gun control. Check it out: Not up to speed on Colorado SB25-003, a gun ban so sweeping it puts California's assault weapons ban to shame? Get the facts: #coleg #copolitics #2A #rightsunderattack #Colorado

That’s an excellent question to ask @ColoradoDOT when are the roads in Rural Colorado going to be vehicle worthy? @GovofCO should make it a priority to fix the roads in rural Colorado especially when the 47Billion$ industry is creating the spending he so enjoys #coleg #copolitics
