Colorado and Nevada are joining Washington, Oregon and California in fighting COVID-19 through the Western States Pact, Gov. Jay Inslee announced Monday.

Under the Western States Pact, which was originally announced on April 13 and is composed of all Democratic governors, the states will use a shared approach to reopening their economies during the pandemic.

"In Washington state, our decisions are guided by public health data and science and this is a principle we share up and down the West Coast.

Governor Polis and Governor Sisolak are taking that approach as well, and the addition of their states will strengthen this regional partnership and save lives," Inslee said, according to a press release issued Monday by his office.

Polis, with Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, agreed to join the Western States Pact today - a coronavirus response agreement that now includes five states (all with Democratic governors) with 60 million people and 21% of the nation's GDP.

1. A good strategy!

3. Especially since Orange Amin is constantly impeding their access to PPE and federal funds

Cheeto's selling it/giving it away to Colombia, Honduras, Ethiopia - any country with a right-wing despot in charge.

But for Blue States, very little (nothing at all, if he could).

2. Except we have derpstate extremists

Like ken buck and the weld county commissioners.

4. Buck can go join Kansas - except no one will have him, or his barren district

To say nothing of his gun humpers.

6. bucks district includes Longmont and Greeley

Two cities that need to get motivated to kick his ass out.

11. It's been AWFUL

since the last redistricting when we lost Larimer County. And the GOP spends truckloads of cash to keep the seat, not to put someone in there who actually gives a damn. They'd happily put a fossilized cowpie in there, as Buck has so capably proved.

And fear not, western states have our share of derpstate morans too. There are just more of us than them, and they can f**k off or move to Pennsyltucky if they don't like it.

they're wasting their time -- and forfeiting our lives.

17. They might "agree" to join, but their populations might not. I know people in both states who,

while they tolerate these governors, are still into rugged individualism culture.

I hope this works out.

19. Is this the start of something...

Western secessionist movement??????

When the failure of the federal govt. leaves you no choice.

Take care of ourselves...I really like this idea..............
