@JesseAPaul I meant your reference to him "still losing" and beyond the margin. 36 to 30 is...within the margin?

Smart analysis of the CO Dem Gov primary from @JesseAPaul.

If the Weiser camp is putting out a -6 poll, that's prob the best they've seen.

If the Bennet camp had a poll showing him dominating, they'd release it.

Bennet likely has a high single digit lead, I'd surmise.

[Jon Murray @JonMurray]

@JesseAPaul FWIW, remember that margin applies to both values, so this has him within the MOE.

Diana DeGette has served 15 terms in Congress, but has she been effective? Denver voters will decide in primary. https://t.co/CO7PzoXLfl https://t.co/cqXZFoSxed

Travelers's favorite airport pedestrian tunnels are ones that give them a reason to be remembered rather than spaces that fade into another nondescript corner of airport world.

This is the challenge @DENAirport faces.

Boebert supports Trump's $1.8B fund to compensate his allies who claim unfair prosecution by the Biden DOJ.

Boebert said J6 rioters who attacked police should only get a payout if they were mistreated in the legal system.

Boebert said Tina Peters should not get a payout.

Rep Boebert says a clean drinking water project, blocked by President Trump in retaliation against Colorado, will be approved soon in an Ag spending bill.

"This is not something that the President can veto," Boebert said. "I am going to finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act."

NEW: Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) says she doesn't think her rift with President Trump will last and she wasn't bothered by him calling her dumb.

I asked Boebert why she and other Rs tolerate Trump's abuse.

"I don't see it as abuse, I think it's part of the DC nature," she said.

We are sorry to hear that tomorrow’s Denver event with Vice President JD Vance has been cancelled. We’re disappointed, and we know a lot of you are too.

The response we’ve seen has been incredible. Thank you to everyone who planned to come out.

@AVS21 @DENAirport A sure way for an airport to not last very long before becoming outdated is to never renovate. But...as someone who covered the early years of the never-ending terminal redo, I feel that pain. At least the tunnel work will happen outside public areas.

[Jon Murray @JonMurray]

Heck yeah: @DENAirport is gonna do the underground walkway to concourses. It’s been studying alternatives/backup to the concourse train for years now, and today DIA unveils the plan to build out the tunnel in the next two years or so.
