What Colorado Should Focus On
What are the big challenges we face?
Great quote today Pols. Case in point is the Army Corps of Engineers giving Denver Water a dredge and fill permit for the Gross Reservoir expansion. It was a slipshod affair that will have significant impacts on the Front Range.
Xcel Energy looks to limit wildfire liability, tariff impacts
Company leaders are calling for a federal solution to wildfire litigation as new theories emerge in cases against Xcel Energy in Colorado.
Good luck with getting anything from the feds on this type of stuff now
I hope some independent light will get shed on the Colorado Springs raid.
According to law enforcement, the club was frequented by Tren de Aragua, MS-13, Hells Angels, members of the military, orcs, trolls, goblins, people who drive the speed limit in the left lane and every other nefarious group you can imagine and they were doing drugs, prostitution, violence, dancing too lewdly, playing Dungeons and Dragons, putting pineapple on pizzas and other heinous crimes.
Do I think crimes were happening in an underground night club late at night? Absolutely. But do I think the place was full of the meanest, ugliest, nastiest people imaginable? No, I think law enforcement is doing their best to make a mountain out of a molehill on this.
Those deserve serious punishment!
"Republicans are active shooters, and the Democrats are the Uvalde police." FB meme that hits home!
Biden & Obama did great things, but good government doesn't solve the problem of MAGA/Libertarian/Christianist Conservatism..
Alva – looking for an old diary that seems to have disappeared. At one time I had about 40 of them in the bank. Only the 5 most recent seem to be available now amd an internet search with the title bears no fruit (I've used that before to retrieve the diary). Did we lose them in one of the transitions? Thx.
We shouldn't have
Thx. I'll lkeep trying.
I'm not delusional or intoxicated enough to believe impeachment will actually succeed or accomplish much, but Rep. Shri Thanadar has prepared seven articles of impeachment, in brief:
It's a good statement to make.
I keep hoping that Democratic Representatives would work to find 4 or 5 Republicans willing to clearly and forcefully oppose one (or more) actions of the Mad!-ministration, and then figure a way to push the opposition into SOME form of legislative action — House oversight, budget limitations, withdrawal of power (e.g. tariffs were and probably should be set by Congress), resolution of censure, or article of impeachment.
I have vague hopes the dozen or so Republican signers of the letter promising to oppose gutting Medicaid or Medicare are willing to actually stick to that position. We'll see — they weren't willing to block the first step of passing a Reconciliation resolution.
It won’t help, even if enough GOPers were to agree, so long as Vance, the Witless Wonder is next in line. Johnson? No improvement there. Grassley? He’s dead and too dumb to fall over, and the Cabinet was hand-picked to slavishly worship the Orange Menace. January ’27 can’t come soon enough.
It cannot even reach the floor under the current 220-213 breakdown in the House. But the Dems can fundraise off the resolution and go on MSNBC to talk about it to people who watch MSNBC.
The Dems should take control of the House in 2026 (assuming elections have not been cancelled). Then they can impeach him again, and again, and again.
But I'm guessing that John Thune will be under a lot of pressure to conduct a summary judgment proceeding like the Dems did when the House impeached Alejandro Mayorkas a couple of years ago.
And yes, even if the Dems had 67 votes to convict, the line of succession is zero improvement.
You know what might get the votes? A discharge petition that says the budget cannot increase the deficit. There's a fair number of deficit hawks in the House. That would put the kibosh on Trump's proposed tax cuts for the rich.
The Senate already has such a provision. The determination of "increases the deficit" was redefined by Republicans to be baselined to include the current Trump tax cuts, rather than based on those cuts expiring. Poof! Problem solved.
Longtime reader, first-time commenter. Forgive any of my posting faux pas.
I run a Substack newsletter on politics and government in Greeley and Weld County, and I thought I would share some of my work here from time to time.
I've written three stories in the past few days about how Weld's court-mandated commissioner redistricting process has already gone off the rails, even though we're supposed to have a new map in place for the 2026 elections by the end of July.
In (relative) brief, the commissioners set up a nine-person "advisory" committee to create three maps for the commissioners to consider. One of the committee members is a J6 denier and libertarian blogger; one is a former commissioner who once voted to reimburse herself with taxpayer funds for legal costs over accepting an improper gift from an oil and gas company; and yet another is a supposed Unaffiliated voter who just happens to be a former mayor and GOP political donor. Oh, and still another is a mayor who just last election cycle received campaign donations from two sitting commissioners in her own (doomed) quest to be a powerful Weld commissioner.
So yeah, something stinks up this way, and this time it ain't the JBS plant.
Welcome TS, it's good to have some extra Weld perspective here! I read one of your posts, and it's always concerned me that the unaffiliated/independent designation for committees provides the potential for partisan abuse if the appointers aren't honestly interested in balance.
