A memorial service for State Senator Faith Winter, a Democrat from Broomfield, was held on the Capitol steps Friday. Winter was remembered as a fierce advocate for women and her family. Winter was killed in a crash on I-25 last week. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports.

I’ve confirmed with 3 sources that the person killed in a multi-car crash in Centennial is State Sen. Faith Winter. She led transportation efforts in the legislature for almost her entire time in the House/Senate since 2015. She has two kids. She’s one day younger than me. #copolitics

All Denver Bond Issues look safe. The initial results at 7p. show 60/40 or better in favor of all 5 bond issues. Those results are likely ballots turned in through Sunday or so. #copolitics

Partly cloudy with a 100% chance of Democracy.

Roundball Rock never sounded so good.

No Colorado Democrat in Congress has lost a primary in 50+ years. CU Regent and cannabis entrepreneur Wanda James will try to oust Rep Diana DeGette, who was first elected in 1996. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social. #copolitics

NEW: Prosecutors are dropping cases saying they don't trust the Costilla County Sheriff's Office's work. The sheriff told our @marshallglasses.bsky.social that they aren't exactly able to hire the finest deputies in that rural county. #copolitics www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwAr...

It's official. The third straight year of an "extraordinary session" of the Colorado legislature meets August 21. Also, if it's happened three years in a row, perhaps it should just be called an "ordinary session." #copolitics

Legislative sources tell me they expect Gov. Jared Polis to announce a special session in the morning. The state is short $1 billion for the budget year that just started in July because of changes made in the Republican budget bill in DC. www.9news.com/article/news... #copolitics

President Trump donates a portrait to hang in the Colorado State Capitol to replace the portrait he felt was “distorted.” #copolitics

Douglas County voters overwhelmingly rejecting writing a home rule charter. Currently being defeated with 72% NO. The 3 DougCo commissioners who put it on the ballot also would have lost their attempt to be on charter commission. Wild stuff in DougCo. #copolitics

One of the local radio stations is promoting a contest, “Win Free Groceries For A Year.” The contest is for $5,000 in groceries. What should the amount be to fulfill the promise?

NEW: Court filing shows Polis agrees to delay action on administrative ICE subpoena until judge can consider the temporary restraining order being sought by state employee. Scott Moss sued Polis to prevent what Moss says is illegal information sharing with ICE. #copolitics

Would you rather... Have just completed a 3-game sweep, but are the 12-50 Colorado Rockies... Or be the 23-37 Miami Marlins swept by the Rockies?

Day two of the defamation case against My Pillow guy Mike Lindell. In opening statements, Plaintiff Eric Coomer’s attorney said, “You’d better bring to receipts if you’re going to accuse someone of treason and being part of the biggest crime we’ve ever seen.” #copolitics

The Colorado Rockies picked the wrong year to flirt with the worst record in MLB history. Because of anti-tanking rules, the highest a last place Rockies could draft next year is 10th!? And fans are at the mercy of ownership until attendance tanks. youtu.be/bdIr0tuJPEc?...

Your bill could benefit from Xcel's new on-peak time (starting in October) if you use 83% or more of your electricity during off-peak hours.

Well, that loss was so much worse than the Avs. I guess that's why they call them the Blues.

There's a lot of pressure on Journalism today. Evergreen statement and also, #KentuckyDerby

Why are the NBA and NHL inconsiderate to Denver fans by scheduling overlapping Game 7s?

NEW: Lawmakers who sponsored this bill that would lengthen open records requests for the public, except journalists, WILL NOT seek a veto override of @govofco.bsky.social Which could also be code for they didn’t have the votes. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #copolitics

Who is this fan, and how the hell did he know Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar was going to wear a blue suit?! #GoAvsGo

Is it possible NFL teams are confused by the University of Colorado retiring Shedeur Sanders jersey number? He, himself, did not retire.

Outside of Dallas Stars fans (and I'm not sure even that), how can you not get that warm and fuzzy feeling seeing the captain of a professional sports team make it back after 3 years of injury recovery. Welcome back to the Colorado Avalanche, Gabe Landeskog. #GoAvsGo

This is creating trust issues for me. This never works, so what does clicking this box REALLY do?

Xcel gets OK to change when it charges the most (and least). Electric time of use peak rate periods will change to 5p-9p no sooner than October. Xcel currently charges the most between 3p-7p.

Not loving how each lopsided Super Bowl stat involves the Broncos. 24-0: Largest halftime lead since Washington led Denver 35-10 a jillion years ago. 34-0: Largest lead since the Seahawks rolled the Broncos.

When I left work on Friday, I said, "If I don't see you on Monday, I'll see you in 3 months." Narrator: He didn't see them on Monday. OOO: See you in 3 months.
