"relying on Democrats to push it through."

Here are the 42 Democrats who joined 192 Republicans in fulfilling Trump's wishes to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data:

Whut? "While environmental groups argue that increased battery storage can help fill the gaps left by intermittent renewable energy, Valdez said taking apart or recycling batteries is a much larger potential environmental disaster his green allies should be worried about."

The article quotes representatives from well-known American brands Nissan and Hyundai concerning why Chinese cars shouldn't be allowed into the US.

I suspect US workers wouldn't be excited to get a bed in a 48-person bunkhouse for $672/month ($3/hr @ 56 hr/wk b4 overtime) "Calculating wages to fit within that framework includes having ... and on the fact that domestic workers generally do not receive housing benefits as migrant workers do."

There was a funeral home just dumping bodies a couple of years ago and now this. Is this such a complex business? Or is it so poorly regulated in Colorado that you have wackadoodles just winging it?

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

“When we think about e-bike crashes and deaths related to e-bikes, the vast majority are cars and trucks killing people on e-bikes as opposed to people on e-bikes injuring somebody else,” said Alexa Sledge... an organization dedicated to making New York’s streets safer.

"In January, Tesla announced it had launched “unsupervised” Robotaxi rides in Austin — just days before its Q4 2025 earnings call. The stock jumped 4% on the news. But as we reported at the time, Tesla’s ‘unsupervised’ Robotaxis vanished a week after that pre-earnings announcement."

This explains a lot.

Seems like a bad time to have a dead representative in a red state. bsky.app/profile/reps...

I think I figured out Trump's "asylum" thing. The Mariel boat lift was in 1980, and Cuba actually sent convicts and "people from insane asylums" (often gay) as part of the 125,000 refugees. There were also many more afro-cubans too Trump would have been 34 then and his racism seared into his mind

"Oh, so they shouldn't do anything if they win? They shouldn't try to pass legislation? They shouldn't try to work with Republicans to find compromise?" They should govern exactly how Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell did when Obama was president after the 2014 midterms.

A new scam appears to be opening bank accounts in your name for e.g. money laundrying. This can be done even if you have a freeze at Experian or other credit companies. But, you can go to chexsystems.com to block checks used to open bank accounts.

Trying to remove Trump via the 25th because impeachment is too hard is like trying to eat the sun because jalapeños are too spicy.

This is what Colorado tech is concerned about - they want unhindered AI with no regulation. "SB-205 sets anti-discrimination guardrails for businesses that use the technology in decisions on consequential matters such as loans, employment, insurance policies and school admissions."

This Day in Labor History: April 14, 1975. The Bunker Hill Mining Company in Kellogg, Idaho announced a new policy in response to worries about female workers suffering reproductive problems due to lead exposure. They had to be sterilized to work!!!! Let's talk about this horrible policy!

It's hard to understand just how dry everything is this year in Colorado. Last year, Breck skiing closed a month from now (may 11). This year, no snow here or up on Hoosier Pass (11,600 feet).
