We'll give Jeff Sessions our legal pot when he pries it from our warm, extremely interesting to look at hands.

JUST IN: AG Jeff Sessions to end a policy that allowed legalized marijuana to flourish in states across the country without federal intervention, NBC News' @PeteWilliamsNBC confirms

Instead of using taxpayer resources to go after a drug that's safer than alcohol, Jeff Sessions should focus on political corruption and white collar crime. Seems like there's plenty of that to go around in DC. If only there was some way we could mellow him out 🤔

The marijuana industry supports hundreds of small businesses across our state. Since legalization, marijuana has generated $617,767,334 in tax revenue. Instead of going to drug cartels, that money helps fund our schools and addiction treatment programs for more dangerous drugs.

For example, the BEST program receives millions of dollars in marijuana tax revenue to help build or improve schools in rural Colorado. Here are some projects we've funded for our kids that would be out millions of dollars if Jeff Sessions had his way. cde.state.co.us/cdefinance/cca…

And some more. New roofs for schools in El Paso and La Plata counties. Fire suppression emergency generators for a school in Durango. Renovations for a school in Ouray. Marijuana tax revenue helped fund them. Is your school's roof TOO NICE? Jeff Sessions is on the case.

While you're busy spiking the football over this monstrous transfer of wealth to the richest people in human history, 75,000 Colorado kids and expectant mothers are a day closer to losing their healthcare. Every day CHIP goes unrenewed is a despicable failure. #copolitics

After 31 years, the American people will no longer be forced to deal w/ an Atari-era tax code that is outdated and overly complicated. Congress has finally answered the call to cut taxes and reform the tax code, and I’m proud to help deliver this relief to all of Colorado.

Thanks Jon! If you could cover state leg politics waaaay more often on @crookedmedia shows, we'll love you forever. Mini-Trumps have been running rampant in state legislatures for decades but it's never reported on. One segment a week plz 🙏

"Get a real job." Low-wage jobs are "real jobs." Food service & retail, on your feet 8 hours a day, taking abuse from people who say you don't work a "real job" is a "real job." Not getting paid enough doesn't mean you don't work hard. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

As Democratic Party members, we are required by law to make one try-hard appeal to millennials per month. Healthcare as a right is very fleek! Not dying of a preventable illness is lit like a fam! Pokemon GO to the hospital without entering indentured servitude! Thank you

THIS is why we passed the Reproductive Health Equity Act in Colorado. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, abortion will remain safe & legal in Colorado. #RHEA4CO #coleg politico.com/news/2022/05/0…

Your party controls the Presidency and Congress. You can pass a clean CHIP extension at any time. We respectfully suggest that this would be a quicker path to a "long-term solution" than the current GOP negotiating strategy of bumbling around with your head stuck in a pickle jar

CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!

Want to reduce abortions AND respect the constitutionally-protected right to choose? Be like Colorado: make birth control free for as many as possible. We dropped our teen abortion rate by 53% without trampling on women's right to control their own bodies. #RiseUp4Roe #RoevWade
