Last month, President Trump attempted to illegally withhold SNAP funding, adding to his disgraceful record of making Americans’ lives harder. As he continues to threaten Colorado’s food assistance, I will keep fighting for our state to ensure hungry families have the food they need.

Persuasion (1995), avoid the 2022 one at all costs. The Red Violin (1998), Ars longa, vita brevis in movie form, with the added bonus of extreme closeups of Samuel L. Jackson being moved to tears Not a movie, but The Brokenwood Mysteries, all 12 seasons on a damn loop.
