Climate change landed on Coloradans’ front door

  Hello — From thick wildfire smoke to mudslides to drought to soaring temperatures — this year, climate change landed on Coloradans’ front door. We can’t let this become our new normal. But climate change isn’t going to wait around for politicians to drag their feet in Washington, ei…

CNN reports: ‘The Senate playing field just tipped toward Republicans’

  Hi there — Mitch McConnell only has to flip one seat to reclaim the Senate majority, and he’s made Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto one of his top targets. Elections in Nevada are always close: Donald Trump lost Nevada by just 2 points in 2020. Republicans are going all-in to f…

fluke

  Team — Thanks to folks like you, we flipped Colorado’s Senate seat blue last year — and now we need to prove that our momentum wasn’t just a fluke as Senate Republicans gear up to retake the majority. But this fight won’t be a walk in the park. Mitch McConnell and the Republican Sen…

I don’t put this lightly

  This week, the Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law banning all abortions after just six weeks — before most women even know they are pregnant. I don’t put this lightly: The Supreme Court effectively overturned Roe v. Wade with this decision. We need to act now. Please add you…
