Delinquencies are way up and savings are way down. That’s a toxic cocktail for people across the economy, particularly when it comes to credit card and student loan debt. If we fail to reverse these trendlines, Coloradans will feel economic pain.

New Report - High-cost lenders continue to use out of state #RentaBank partnerships to evade North Carolina interest rate caps and consumer protections, making it harder for households to meet their basic needs and build financial stability. responsiblelending.org/resea…

This data shared in Colorado’s revenue forecast Friday underscores what we’ve long said about state investments in early child care and elder care – when care is too expensive, women leave the workforce.
That impacts their economic security, and their family’s. We can do better.

After-tax income inequality reached its widest point in at least 17 years. The 2025 reconciliation law didn't help, leaving 9 million children out of the full Child Tax Credit while expanding tax cuts that favor wealthier households. @smhingtgen explains: cbpp.org/blog/analyzing-the-…

Tax policies under the second Trump administration have mostly asked more from working families and fueled wealth inequality.
The combined impact of tariffs, ending health care tax credits, and OBBBA results in a tax increase for most Americans except the richest 5%.

A graduated income tax isn’t “socialism.” It’s just fairness.
Under Amendment 87 97% of taxpayers will get an income tax cut. People who make over $500,000 a year will see a small increase. The revenue will help cover the things we need most. progressnow.co/2026/09/04/vo… #copolitics

I asked Michael if he can show us where CO's newly qualified graduated income tax proposal gets rid of tax breaks for low income seniors and veterans. He can't, because its not in there. #copolitics
Blaming Title Board is a weak argument. Bell Policy chose to use sloppy language in order to avoid needing to get 55%. I’m sure they already regret it. #copolitics

This is shaping up to be a major test of Colorado media's willingness and ability to combat Big Lie levels of dishonesty from one of the state's most powerful organizations. Wish I could say I was optimistic.
There are plenty of valid reasons to oppose CO’s graduated tax proposal, but this slop about raising taxes on seniors & veterans is the definition of misinformation. Read the measure. You’ll find nothing that does that. It’s says a lot that this is their main talking point.

There are not "tens of thousands of small businesses" in Colorado that report annual incomes greater than $500,000. There are fewer than 3,500, less than 5% of all businesses in the state. cdor.colorado.gov/data-and-r…
Reminder to your followers. You messed up the language (or did it on purpose) and are going to increase taxes on seniors and veterans. You’re also raising taxes on tens of thousands of small businesses. Voters are going to have all the info before they vote! #copolitics

Not only would all seniors on social security and veterans with military pensions pay more under your tax hike, but you’re also working directly with Prop NN supporters to raise taxes on all Coloradans by taking away their TABOR tax refunds. That’s up to $7.2 billion in increased taxes! #copolitics

ON THE BALLOT! Initiative 195 will raise an estimated $2B/year while giving 97% of Colorado taxpayers a tax CUT.
Let's take Colorado off that starvation diet.
