BREAKING: Judge Paula Xinis orders the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from immigration custody

Listening to some ancient music. That has held up pretty well.

🧵 Here's Ellen Harding Baker's "Solar System" quilt.🧪 This is the story.🔭 Back in 1876, an Iowa mom with 7 kids, E. H. Baker, decided that cooking & raising children wasn’t enough for her. She started working on a wool quilt showing the solar system. americanhistory.si.edu/collections/... 1/7

A nice loop of snowfall for you, if you like such things!

Idk, just kind of a run-of-the-mill wind event

A windy and colorful start to the day 12/9/25. #sunrise #Colorado #CoWx

Denver: Come for the omelettes Stay for the sunrise

Blazing sunrise near Berthoud this morning. #NoCO Northern Colorado. No filter. Wind has been howling - warmed to 56° overnight.

This is my last Ranking the Rockies column. Last season, the Rox used 57 players. M-F, we have run an evaluation of each player & we are not done yet! We’re all ready to move forward, given all the changes. But here we are, reliving 2025. (Usually I enjoy RTR; this year, it’s been exhausting.)

Nice sunset tonight. Near Berthoud. #NoCO @retacof.bsky.social

The FACTS about January 6 (Bookmark, as needed) youtube.com/shorts/7AEbO...

Trump’s national security strategy cedes global leadership, abandons American soft power (despite statements to the contrary), and emboldens enemies and extremist parties in Europe. It makes us all less secure. (And is totally contradicted by his actual policies) open.substack.com/pub/gailhelt...

So I made these. They are a bit of a pita, as all oil fried things are in a home kitchen. Made too large. Would use an extra egg to bind ingredients. They are fall-apart sorts of things. Damn tasty. Will do again. They cook faster than recipe states. Oil hot, so fried onions. Bon Apetit!

In a rare Saturday column, I wrote about yesterday’s presser.

I don't know what to say. I was getting a burger at the drive-thru and they said I won the "Drive-Thru 1st Annual World Peace Prize." And I got free fries! They forgot the salt, so, a bit disappointed. I left a bad review on the text survey they sent me.

This is right up there with shooting pilots in their parachutes. Also against the law.

You're not going to believe what I just saw

Early morning light revealed a fresh layer of snow blanketing the Colorado Rockies and Front Range, seen today by GOES-19.

This is incorrect. The military absolutely still does have to get a warrant to search personal devices. Please do not try to force your soldiers to hand over their phones so you can search them without consulting JAG.

AMEN. Thank you for blessing this rather gruesome insane workday. #Colorado

👏 This is the energy we like to see! While Amazon, Home Depot, Target, and others cave to Trump, Costco is showing how companies can stand up to this regime.

I can maintain sourdough and bake nice sourdough bread. I can cook a steak properly. I can make a nice pie. But none of this compares to making gravy properly.

The surprise here is not what you expect. @oldenoughtosay.com www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!
