A woman walked with me today who sounded just exhausted by this economy. She works overtime, but doesn’t make enough to save anything for retirement. She chose not to have kids because she feared she couldn’t afford it. She described the whole economy as corrupt and she’s right.

Polis just vetoed the first statewide ban on algorithmic rent fixing in the country. Denver is the second-most impacted city in the country by rent fixing algorithms, which reduce supply, increase evictions, and hike rents by hundreds per month. This is your Abundance Governor?

Deeply disappointed by the veto. This was the most important bill for renters this leg session. It stood up to corporate power. It promised to bring apartments back online. And it took on economic abuse that steals $1600 a year from renters. coloradosun.com/2025/05/29/jar…

🚨NEW: Jared Polis VETOED a landmark bill that would have banned landlords from using secretive algorithms to allegedly price-fix rents. This was his chance to stand with working Coloradans over corporate landlords -- and he just made his priorities clear, says Pat_Garofalo

Lotta politicians talk about making life easier and more affordable—that’s going to mean making sure mega-landlords and BigTech plays by the same set of rules as the rest of this. The Governor let down millions of Coloradans.

Yet another piece doing the analysis and finding the Abundance argument hollow. Basel Musharbash looked at housing in Dallas, one of the most affordable growing cities in America just 15 years ago. Texas is lauded by Klein/Thompson because of its limited zoning constraints. But

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has been on a tear, vetoing popular bills. He recently rejected a bill to ban the algorithmic price-fixing of rents. He's also vetoed a pro-union bill, legislation to prevent surprise ambulance costs, regulations for social media companies, and more.

Big news! I’m launching a campaign for State Senate to put people, not special interests, at the center of state policy. I’ve been waging an uphill fight against those special interests in the House. I need your help to bring that fight to the Senate. secure.actblue.com/donate/emily-s…

Robinson Meyer Actually…the anti-monopolist “elites” 🙋‍♀️ are in constant coalition with workers and business people from all across the economy, and their insights are key to our understanding of how markets function. Here’s just one example — there are many more where this came from.

Robinson Meyer The antimonopoly movement is powered by a lot of small business that are tired of being screwed over. I didn't seek to become an activist. I wanted to own and operate a small pharmacy and obsess about my mediocre football team until my dying days. I do what I do to save my
