The arguments we’re having today aren’t new. In fact, we were having many of the same ones more than 150 years ago during Reconstruction.

I recently sat down with Malcolm Gladwell to reflect on this pivotal time in our nation’s history, and the work that remains. Check out our conversation: https://t.co/yaGFO4MxGI

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Trump is going to lie again tonight. He’ll lie about past elections as a way to justify corrupting our future elections. The same elections that delivered him and Republicans total control of our government. 

The truth is: our elections are safe, secure, and more accessible than ever for Americans. Don’t believe a thing a career con man like him says.

Every parent knows the look. Which of these three wild-born calves do you reckon is about to cause trouble?

1. Nala, posing – with her mother Nasalot keeping an eye on proceedings.
2. Subiri, having a go at pushing Weka.
3. Sulwe, staring directly down the lens.

All three were born to orphaned elephants we raised and returned to the wild, where they started their own families. A next generation of our Orphans' Project, growing up entirely wild.

Let us know which one gets your vote – and tell us which of the three you'd like to know more about.

Colorado is joining western governors in a bipartisan effort to strengthen our region's energy future. By working to improve transmission, streamline permitting, and support innovation, we can build a reliable and resilient energy system for communities.

Our immigration system is broken. Firing immigration judges who follow the law and refuse to bend to Donald Trump isn’t how we make the system work better. It’s un-American.

Crystal Reservoir has been part of Ouray's history for 90 years, and the city's water supply, hot springs, and firefighting resources depend on getting it back in local hands.

I'm glad to see our bill pass out of the Senate Natural Resources Committee. It's time for the Senate to get this bipartisan bill over the finish line so Ouray can repair, refill, and reopen the reservoir for the generations who will enjoy it next.

This week, I questioned DNI nominee Jay Clayton on whether the White House directed his office to subpoena New York Times reporters after the publication of a story that allegedly upset President Trump.

The head of our intelligence community must be someone who will withstand inappropriate political influence. And the First Amendment should never be treated as a loophole. It’s the foundation of our Constitution and democracy.

In 2021, a lone young giraffe was seen trying to pass itself off as a zebra. Twiggy, as she became known, arrived in our care at just a week-old.

Soon, it wasn't just zebra she called friends. Over the next four years she grew up in our care, she forged unlikely friendships with buffalo and antelope too. Not to mention the strong bonds she built with her Keepers. Then, in November 2025, she left to fraternise with a wild bull and didn't come back – until last week.

From the curious infant she was in this #throwback, Twiggy is today a towering gentle giant. What it took to get her there was many bottles of milk and daily Keeper care. Can you spot the bunkbed her Keeper slept in, night after night, to keep her company?

Donald Trump is making money hand over fist for himself through the presidency while ignoring the American people.

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

Rhinos are solitary by nature but nobody told Tytan.

Our orphaned black rhino and Notty the zebra have been inseparable since she arrived. They come from different parts of Kenya, but they were orphaned for the same unusual reason: tragically and accidentally, their mothers fell off cliffs.

As they grow up, they will naturally part ways as Tytan establishes his territory in the National Park and Notty joins a family of zebras. But for now, they are rarely apart.

You can become part of this special story through an adoption — helping us provide hands-on, round-the-clock care for the orphans: https://t.co/wMoRF44Dzp

*taps the sign*
The IDs needed to go to Costco, buy a beer, or board a domestic flight are not accepted IDs under the SAVE America Act.

If companies only accepted SAVE America Act-approved IDs, they'd go out of business.

Republicans keep lying about this because if they told the truth, their base would never support it.

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News.

Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record."

Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations.

The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.

BREAKING: The House has passed the SAVE America Act by a 217–209 vote after attaching it to the National Defense Authorization Act.

The package includes voter ID provisions and now heads to the Senate, where it faces another high-stakes fight over election law and defense spending after House Republicans bundled the two measures together.

Their whole message is based on fear. Of people of color. Immigrants. That message must be getting a little threadbare so this is the new one. The Dems have blown past being socialists to COMMIES! Be afraid, ‘Merica!

BREAKING: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will vote to cut U.S. aid to Israel, marking a major break with decades of Democratic leadership on the issue.

[Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove @RepKamlagerDove]

I just voted to strip offensive military aid to Israel from a national security funding package.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly used U.S. assistance to commit gross violations of human rights, prolong conflict, and retain his hold on power. I cannot in good conscience support using our taxpayer dollars to fund Netanyahu's war apparatus.
