"All of our problems are solvable and we're the ones to solve them."
That's been @MikeJohnstonCO's mantra in Denver, and the results back it up: unsheltered homelessness is down 64% since 2023. This is what mission-driven leadership looks like.

This is an utterly insane story: 25,000 documents reviewed by WaPo indicate that throughout Tulsi's career, her political moves were controlled by her guru, cult leader Chris Butler.

This woman was leading the world's largest intelligence apparatus.

Opinion | The problem is not Tina Peters’ case in isolation. It is what Gov. Jared Polis’s decision reveals: that the system bends for some and holds firm against everyone else. https://t.co/7JQKwEPGDQ

Critics of high-skilled immigration should take note.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Colorado voters approve income tax increase on higher-earning households to fund meals for all public school students.

Honestly a chilling article. Weirdly haven't heard from our era's foremost free speech champion Mark Zuckerberg on this one though

When the state budget boomed, Colorado cut taxes. Now it’s paying the price. https://t.co/55ODCK9qet #copolitics #coleg

“We have a people-pleasing problem in our party." Democratic organizers are hesitant to admit when get-out-the-vote efforts don’t work. One group is trying to change that. My new piece: https://t.co/F7DkwHYMFJ

@BianchiWeather Is there something unique to Denver/Colorado that explains this in a macro sense or is this more of an outlier stretch of weather? Is there reason to believe this will become increasingly common?

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
