Trump: We had two big moments—when I terminated the JCPOA, the Obama deal. It was a horrible deal for the United States. It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. They tried to bribe them to make a deal. That never works.

Colorado - Democrat Primary: Governor: Phil Weiser: 41% Michael Bennet: 34% Colorado Community Research / June 11, 2026

It's becoming incredibly clear that the Colorado governor's race is being heavily manipulated by dark money groups and out of state billionaires. If you look at @MichaelBennet campaign, it’s a classic example of dark money buying a state primary. ​Here is a breakdown of what is actually happening behind the scenes: ​By June 2026, Bennet’s official campaign is low on cash, holding only $388,373 on hand, most of it coming from Grassroots Donors. ​To make up for this, his allies from out of state are funnling money into a Super PAC called "Rocky Mountain Way". This Super PAC is how all these billionaires and Dark Money Groups are able to buy our election. ​Michael Bloomberg dropped a massive $2.5 million into the PAC to establish his own influence in Colorado. ​Out-of-state hedge fund managers and venture capitalists piled on, including Steve Mandel ($175,000), Tench Coxe ($100,000), and Marc Heising ($75,000). ​ ​It gets even worse though: a group called "Brighter Future for Colorado" funneled about $1 million into the PAC. The issue is that this is a dark money group registered to a random Denver UPS store to hide where the cash is really coming from. ​ ​Outside billionaires are also using this race to push their own agenda on local public school systems. ​Billionaires Reed Hastings and John Arnold used their nonprofit to push money into Denver Families for Public Schools, which then passed $40,000 to $45,000 straight into Bennet's network. ​Groups like Stand for Children and the 50CAN Action Fund chipped in another $45,000 combined. These funds all all in support of Bennet expanding Charter Schools in Colorado, despite public schools in the state already suffering from a lack of funding as a result of TABOR. ​ ​Currently, Bennet’s team is working the legal system to delay the public hearings about violations of Colorado Campaign Finance Law. They successfully pushed the hearing past the June 30 primary, keeping voters completely in the dark until after they had already cast their ballots. It's clear that Michael Bennet isn't going to work for Coloradan's, but instead will support Lobbyist and Out of State Billionaires.
