As NBC News reported over the weekend, there’s new data that once again completely contradicts messaging from the Trump administration and lackeys like Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) regarding the targets of Trump’s deportation palooza: More than a third of the roughly 220,000 people arrested by ICE officers in the first nine months of the […]
As NBC News reports this morning, the resolution of a long-unsolved crime related to the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election has created a new, or depending on your point of view the same old headache for President Donald Trump in his never-ending quest […]

Comey, and the New York Attorney General Letitia James, saying their prosecutor’s […]
(When you can’t beat ’em the old-fashioned way — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Ostensibly, ballot initiatives are meant as a way for the average citizen to create political change without the Legislature.
