Watching the odds close and the volume increase in real time as people catch up with the dem primary polling is *wild* There's still time to take the under, kids!
Kalshi odds haven’t quite caught up with the polling, damn.

to be clear: the casinofication of literally everything is pretty grim but I'm fascinated by what political betting markets reveal about people's (not necessarily voters') appraisal of candidates and races

Pursuing a more progressive tax system is a start, but it’s not the end when it comes to ensuring the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. We need to be taxing wealth.

no surprises in the House but I totally missed this last week: Senator Bennet skipped voting on reconciliation. The Senate vote was Friday, the day after the gubernatorial debate. #copolitics
The Housed passed ICE & CBP funding w/o any reforms and w/o preventing creation of an anti-weaponization fund, 214-212. CO Reps voted: Yes - Boebert, Crank, Evans & Hurd No - Crow, DeGette, Neguse & Pettersen. Heads to POTUS. #copolitics

Replying to @bencasselman
In inflation-adjusted terms, workers have now seen *zero* wage gains since Trump returned to office -- the surge in prices over the past few months has wiped out all of the real wage gains made in the first year of Trump's second term.

In bars and in backyards, Phil always holds an open floor for unfiltered audience questions. He takes notes with a pen and paper and responds to everyone without skipping details or cutting policy corners. Also more power to Donna I still do not understand the BS Factor.
Thanks to everyone posting endorsements. Here's a special one from Donna: "Phil Weiser seems to want people like me to be part of his political work—his public service—and he believes I am intelligent enough to know when the BS factor is out of control." commondreams.org/opinion/col…

Inexcusable and disqualifying. Come talk with your opponents and to your voters. Shouldn't be hard, especially 3 weeks from the election.
Jena Griswold has officially declined to participate in our debate tomorrow night. #copolitics #coleg

cannot wait to see what MGP comes up with concerning “groceries & goods”
Interesting - Jeffries takes first steps toward drafting a Dem "affordability" agenda for 2027 Announces working groups on housing, groceries, gas, health care etc to help shape governing platform if Dems win House

phew I was getting worried the true insanity of the CO GOP gubernatorial primary wasn't penetrating the national consciousness
It was only a matter of time before John Oliver weighed in on the Colorado GOP primary.

This endorsement tells Colorado voters a lot about how the US Senate works: It doesn’t matter that Warren is way more ideologically aligned with @SenadoraJulie. Senators are colleagues. They run bills, bicker, form and break alliances. These relationships are strategic🧵(1/4)
We are incredibly honored to have the support of U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. We’re fighting to lower costs, create more affordable and accessible health care, and to build an economy that works for everyone – not just the wealthy few. We’re taking back the Senate this November and bringing Trump’s reckless policies to a screeching halt. We’re glad to have you with us.

Every Senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio, because he was their colleague and that’s what decorum says to do. Decorum also explains why Hick and Bennet voted to confirm Sec. Wright: sure he drank fracking run-off, but hey, he’s from Englewood. (3/4)

This is the hardware of policy making, the realest part of “business as usual” politics, and the hardest element to explain to voters. (4/4)

🚨Good tweet alert ⬇️
If you're charged with a crime, you get a lawyer. If you're about to lose your home, you're on your own. In Massachusetts eviction court, 90% of landlords have an attorney. Only 3% of tenants do. Right to counsel would level it. It's time.

Homie, you're taking $2 MILLION from Michael Bloomberg because you SOLD your U.S. Senate seat to him. Rob Blagojevich went to prison for less.
Phil Weiser took money from corporations and lawyers with business before his office — then gave them special treatment. Coloradans deserve better than pay-to-play politics. Learn more 👇 paytoplayphil.com/

The Medicaid work requirements IFR makes it United States policy that people must be worked to death
ICYMI, the work requirements regulation dropped yesterday evening. I think the biggest departure from initial expectations is around medical frailty — conditions like cancer and HIV *only* exempt people if they're severe enough to impair compliance with the new rules.
