Having 24 hour, near-instantaneous access to every bit of information about how the most ethically challenged people alive are actively dismantling the society you're living in is probably more than the human psyche was designed to handle.

it’s neat the politicians everyone said were run of the mill gutter racists are now looking into the camera and going “we are doing this because we are racist” and reporters are going “this is a pushback against DEI that some say went too far”

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

Thanks to tariffs, it now costs $419 to buy a 30’ cable to connect your Hammond organ to a Leslie speaker, or $580 for a 50’ cable. If you can even find one.

A country where Flag Officers are dismissed on the whim of a president or a secretary of Defense -- and where it's tolerated by those in a position to stop it -- is a country in decline

Sad news. Fred was an inspiration in Denver, Colorado and nationally. He set the standard for ethical behavior and demonstrated it daily. He will be missed. #copolitics

If you work in domestic violence services, are a former DOJ employee or worked with Pam Bondi any time throughout her career, I'd love to hear your thoughts on her legacy. DM me, email me [email protected] or Signal me @jsmn.01 (always preferred).

i would argue two things here: 1. dropping the term "illegal" was more of an accuracy thing. immigration court proceedings are notably civil and not criminal. 2. even "undocumented" is not a super accurate term because many of these immigrants are extensively documented by the government itself

Commiserations to everyone who lost their jobs this morning in the Oracle workforce massacre. The reason behind it wasn't really "AI" - it is because Larry and David Ellison are totally over leveraged and if the Oracle stock takes a hit - they will be in a mess #taxtherich

it is still kind of weird how much the world has to depend on Truth Social, an online conservative platform owned by Donald Trump himself, for official news from the White House

It has been a journey to watch Bondi go from highlighting her compassion for domestic abuse and trafficking survivors to harming those same victims with the unredacted partial release of the Epstein files and attempt to politicize VAWA grants. 19thnews.org/2026/04/pam-...

The Desert News picked up a nugget from my report on partisan trends over the past 20 years. Mormons have been moving away from the Republican Party at a pretty steady pace: www.deseret.com/politics/202...

A federal judge is moving to sanction Mike Lindell's lawyers yet again for citing to another fake case. Judge Nina Wang already imposed $6,000 of collective sanctions for their prior violation. There's no suggestion Lindell knew about the lawyers' actions: www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/04/01/f...

Did you know that there is one group of Americans who are not entitled to birthright citizenship? People born American Samoa are classified instead simply as “U.S. nationals” — and as a result they cannot vote or run for office anywhere else in the country. Much more here, for anyone curious:

For most of us Daycare & Healthcare are a bigger priority than wars for oil that cost taxpayers $1,000,000,000 a day New Mexico set aside $700,000,000 for 5 years of Universal Childcare - less than the cost of one day of war

Though Schwartz pleaded guilty to a $39M tax fraud scheme, prosecutors weren’t able to trace how funds moved through his 200+ accounts. Trump’s pardon then wiped away Schwartz’s sentence — and likely any IRS effort to claw back the stolen taxes. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. | ProPublica www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This almost certainly won't effect the 2026 election. But for 2028 and beyond, this has the strong potential to reshape Colorado politics. #copolitics #coleg

Neil Gorsuch, most cases: In the case of Protester vs. Tank, I find the protester's family liable for stain damage to the treads Neil Gorsuch, in any case involving Native American law:

Kavanaugh getting the better of you is like that bit in The Good Place when Jason figures it out and Michael is like JASON? damn this one hurts, ouch

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

we went to Sloans Lake Alamo last week and the ordering system wouldn't take anyone's credit cards. they had to send someone in to take orders. it's a shitshow. and it's intended to bust the union, i suspect.

This Transgender Day of Visibility I give thanks for & speak protection around all of my kin whose beings are living proof that gender is expansive, evolving, complex, & dynamic.

NEW: SCOTUS has struck down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy in an 8-1 decision

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

So called “free thinkers” when the Rockies score 7 runs

In terms of total runs for the season we’re up 21-15!

Denver hit 80° for the 8th time this month. Not only is that more than double the previous March record for 80°+ days on record (3), it equals the *April* record for most 80°+ days on record (1987). This absurd 'winter' keeps out absurding itself. #COwx

It is not in fact a logical fallacy, to think that the views of white supremacists who wanted to limit and undermine the clear anti-racist goals of the Fourteenth Amendment should not govern our interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment It's common sense and basic respect for multiracial democracy

I mean, I’m sure he’s eyeing escorts, but…

Doing news costs money Therefore somebody has to pay. Maybe the audience.

I dunno I think neoliberalism’s grand plan of dismantling the welfare state and the social contract and replacing them, respectively, with nothing and nothing created a pretty fertile breeding ground for fascism and this isn’t even particularly controversial anymore.

Reminder that the reason you're seeing so much weird Chappell Roan news is that just a few weeks ago she fired her Epstein-adjacent agent, Casey Wasserman. Wasserman is still the chairman of the 2028 LA olympics, but has started stepping back from his ad agency.

when Mullins took that last shot, UConn was 18% on 3’s for the game. completely flabbergasted that they won with shooting this bad

UConn shooting 1-16 from 3 and somehow still within striking distance
