    Replying to @RepEpps @javier_mabrey and @rep_boesenecker
    At what point do you start banning cars because people die from car accidents?

    Walked past a woman today whose dress was way too tight, way too short, and way too low cut for the Capitol. Totally inappropriate. I gotta make sure to not walk past that mirror again.

    During closings, around 1 am, my colleague (who I was facing) told me @MomsDemand were standing behind me. I know it was in solidarity. Thank you.♥️ I’m sorry that most Dem leadership does not want to ban assault weapons—yet. They never will, unless you make them. On we press.

    ❣️A decade of tireless service—thank you @shannonrwatts for the labor of love that we call @MomsDemand. It’s my honor to help advance our work. Colorado Moms Demand Action has always had my back; and I know they know—I’ll always have theirs.

    # of days before I cried at Capitol: 11. Can’t believe it took that long, tbh. Luckily only 2 ppl saw. Others will soon enough. Spare me the “never let ‘em see you cry” nonsense. Depression + anxiety + racism = a lot to manage—but I know what I was sent here to do. On we press.

    Proud to be a cosponsor at introduction of the bill to finally repeal Colorado’s prohibition on rent control. (Figure I’d fly under the radar my 1st term, not touch anything controversial.) @javier_mabrey & @Velasco4CO told us what they came here to do. And they’re doing it.✊🏽

    “I don’t brag enough.” —@theestallion but seriously, I don’t. Losses hurt so bad, I forget to celebrate our Wins. 🏆4 years, 3 bills, and today Gov. signed liberatory bipartisan HB23-1151. 48-hour bond hearings is law of the land in Colorado! coloradofreedomfund.org/hb23-1151

    🏛️We did it. HB24-1292 is on its way to the Senate. I’ve been working on this legislatively since November 2022. and today, our bill to define assault weapons + prohibit their manufacture/sale passed Colorado House of Representatives. Saving lives >>> saving seats. On we press.

    SB23-190 prohibits deceptive trade practices at anti-abortion clinics. Their deceptive tactics harm pregnant people, just as racist transphobic rhetoric used to defend those clinics incites violence against vulnerable people. Blatant lies. Fear-mongering. I won’t be complicit.
