A man who does not have a PhD says Dr. Jill Biden is “fraudulent” and “comic” to use her title because her doctorate isn’t in medicine.

@RepBoebert
For once in your goddamn life stop flapping your thumbs. People like you are directly responsible for MY friends, MY family & MY community being put in harms way. Your anti-science, gun-fetish, "trigger the libs" divisive bulls*t needs to stop. NOW. You're literally killing ppl.
A 19yo...
- Can’t legally drink.
- Can’t legally gamble.
- Can’t legally rent a car.
But can legally purchase an AK 47 style weapon out of state.
This is exactly why we need federal laws on gun safety.
Chief also confirms the 19 year old shooter bought his weapon, an AK 47 style weapon, legally in Nevada a few weeks ago. Clearly a lot of emotion behind Chief Smithee’s words

Of course Trump is threatened by Lady Gaga — she’s a 34yo strong-minded woman with multiple awards who doesn’t need him & would never want him. For Trump, powerful women are as threatening as it gets.
Actually, a crowd spontaneously calling “Lock him up!” may be exactly what the world needs from us right now — POTUS is our greatest threat to national security/democracy. Letting the world know Americans see this may be the best foreign relations we’ve had since 2016.

🚨 Coloradans in CD3:
Please check if your ballot has been counted. The Boebert-Frisch race is extremely tight. Uncured ballots could make a difference.
To track or cure your ballot, go to and scroll down to “Track or cure your ballot.”

It infuriates me when male legislators don’t understand a woman’s body.
It’s downright shameful when a woman doesn’t.
Plan B — aka the morning after pill — does NOT kill a fetus. It prevents fertilization by delaying egg release.

So... if only 10 Republicans vote to impeach a dangerous and seditious president, I think it’s safe to say “Republican” and “Trump” are officially synonymous.
@justinbaragona
Not sure what’s worse:
A) Claiming science when it’s not
B) Stigmatizing mental health disorders
C) Promoting violence over a piece of cloth, including against children
D) That this hateful, antagonistic drivel is allowed on TV
E) That he does this for attention & it works
Every time I hear
@PeteButtigieg
speak on the issues I am struck by how profoundly good he is —
@BarackObama
level good. This is what Democrats need more of.
"We’ve made it way too complicated. It’s super simple: these are very rich men who have decided to back the Republican Party that tends to do good things for very rich men,”

So... we can ban vaping products after a handful of deaths, but all we get is “thoughts and prayers” for the 100 Americans killed PER DAY by gun violence? Apparently the vaping industry hasn’t paid enough to the GOP this year.
Rep. Lauren Boebert blocked me — a statewide political columnist — roughly 48 hours after I published a column noting her seditious behavior.

American Airlines has already banned passengers for not wearing masks — Ted Cruz should be no exception. Presidents are not above the law, & Senators are not above airline safety.

Can you chip in $5 or more today to flip CO’s Senate blue?
2 trillion spent on war equipment to kill people (including our own) & no one asks how we can afford it. But say you want healthcare, education, or clean energy to improve American lives & suddenly we’re broke. Yes, America has a problem, but it isn’t only in the White House.
@JoelTRose

@farhip
Also, toting Trump's 5 press conferences is irrelevant when you consider he used these opportunities to promote everything from white supremacy to injecting bleach.
Content over tally marks, please.
The problem with Lauren Boebert is not that she may have been a paid escort or had abortions.
The problem is that she is a seditionist helping to overthrow American democracy.
TLDR: Focus on what matters, not on trashing women for making decisions with their own bodies.
If you condemn acts of hate and violence, then you must also condemn the leaders that incite hate and violence. Anything less is complicity and make no mistake — Republican leaders refusing to denounce Trump are complicit.
I casually reminded the grocery clerk to register to vote for November. She replied, “There’s an election this year? What’s it for?” Colorado, we’ve got some work to do.
As multiple schools in Colorado deal with active shooter threats today, including Boulder High School, extremists in the Colorado GOP are actively suing multiple local cities for enacting gun control measures.
Only in America are assault weapons more important than 6-year-olds.
👇 The right to peacefully protest is a fundamental American right, but this violent display of armed men storming the Capitol and threatening lawmakers is nothing short of domestic terrorism permitted by white privilege.
Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bullet proof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was confirmed by one of the widest bipartisan margins in history.

I’m glad that 145 CEOs wrote a letter to enact gun reform. Truly, I am. But I hate that the voices of 145 rich people (mostly straight white men) likely means more to Congress than the millions of Americans who have spoken for years. We need money out of politics now!
Reports of 19 ppl dead & 40 wounded. This happened on American soil with kids playing & people shopping. Young white male shooter... again. This is absolutely domestic terrorism, & every single representative refusing to act is complicit.
Imagine waking up on Nov. 9th and learning Lauren Boebert has been kicked out of Congress by

🚨The ICE Detention mass hysterectomies are NOT America’s 1st use of eugenics. Prior to WWII, the US sterilized ~70,000 ppl to breed out feeble mindedness, minorities, the disabled & more. American eugenics contributed to the rise of Nazi Germany then, & we’re doing it again now.
If you agree Colorado needs better representation - representation that listens, is based on facts, & that supports all Coloradans not only the wealthy - then please share & give a follow: I’m a passionate young scientist exploring for Gardner’s seat in 2020. Thank you.👩🔬🇺🇸
What many seem to forget is that as a professional conman, Trump lied to his followers & got them to invest in him emotionally & financially. This is why they stay with him now, even after the FBI raid. It’s far easier to think he’s been wronged than to admit you’ve been conned.
If you’re focused on Mark Zuckerberg losing ~7 billion today, and forget to mention he’s still the 5th richest person in the world at ~121 billion, you’re kind of missing the point.
Democrats:
Still hoping for a win, BUT… if
@AdamForColorado
does lose the tight race vs Boebert, would you support him if he used his concession speech to declare a run against her again in 2024 & spent the next 2 years fundraising, traveling the district & calling her out?
This is a great time to remind everyone that in a
@JoeBiden
presidency we‘ll have First Lady
@DrBiden
, a former teacher/professor with two masters & a doctoral degree.
There simply aren’t enough ways to say thank you. As someone once told me, “winning is nice, but it’s the journey that matters”. Together we’ve laid the groundwork for the next generation of women & scientists in gov’t. This is only the beginning.👩🏼🔬🙏
I’d like to remind everyone that there are potentially huge global consequences here, and casually tweeting about WWIII for attention does NOT help. This is a time for patience and listening, not to win best tweet.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness, it’s dying in the plain light of day. With every turn of the head & shrug of the shoulders, with every handshake hung on quid pro quo, our democratic institutions are under siege in clandestine silence.

Let’s be extremely clear: The
@GOP
is 100% responsible for America’s poor response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s not only Trump, it’s every Senator/Rep/official refusing to speak out on Trump’s anti-science actions. Silence is complicity.
@CoryGardner
This was an incredibly simple question and
@SenCoryGardner
simply refused to answer. I’ll help you out, the answer was “no”. R or D, it’s not OK for any president to ask for foreign interference in an election for personal gain. How hard is that?
Breaking:
@SenCoryGardner
refuses to answer question whether it is appropriate for the President to ask a foreign leader to investigate a rival. Quite the exchange in Denver

My generation is the first generation expected to NOT out-live, out-earn, or out-educate our parents. In fact, we’re more likely to die ~2+ yrs earlier with $1M+ less in our bank accounts... but yes, kids today don’t have CDs or VHS either. 🤷♀️

A vote for Cory Gardner is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Martha McSally is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Lindsey Graham is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Mitch McConnell is a vote for Trump.
This is the GOP. Vote them out.

Biden wasn’t my 1st pick. Or my 2nd. Or even my 3rd, 4th, 5th...

It’s been a busy few days of Trump breaking more laws. Let this be a reminder to

When missiles are being launched at our service members all is not well. Show some respect for our fellow Americans, and do everything possible to ensure the safety of all.
I respect your right to any religion of your choice, but with Trump leading the charge to mandate religion in public schools, we must fight for my right to choose no religion, too. I strongly support the separation of church & state.
A Quinnipiac poll shows Biden winning overall 50%-39% but...
White men support:
Trump 56% vs Biden 35%
The rest of America:
Biden 57% vs Trump 31%
