[Greater Denver Transit @GreatDenTransit]

An afternoon of differing arguments, some good, some not so.

We have two clear asks for Phil Washington & @DENAirport:

1. Commit to a proper transit mode share target of at least 30% bus & rail use.

2. Commit to studying an A Line expansion plan with @RideRTD.

Denver is losing an amazing transportation reporter, but I'm glad to hear you're returning home. Congrats on the new position! Thank you for all your great reporting in Colorado - me and all the other transit nerds appreciate you!

Hello! A little news from me.

Next week is my last at @CPRNews. Later this month I will join the @StarTribune's politics team covering the Capitol.

Denver, Colorado and CPR have all been wonderful to me since I arrived more than a decade ago. I'll miss this place dearly.

[Matt Moret @mttmoret]

Hey I work at @TheAthletic now! Learned a ton and met some great people at @CPRNews and @Denverite, but it's on to the next adventure! Still in Denver for now. Support local news 🙂

[Blake Simony @BlakeSimony]

@mttmoret @TheAthletic @CPRNews @Denverite that's impressive, congrats!

President Donald Trump has made a lot of jokes about serving a third term.

Now he says "I'm not joking."

At Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction today: Jared Taylor

Looking forward to your published reporting James!

[James Burky @BamesJurky]

So, some interesting updates to the -alleged- white supremacist speaking at Colorado Mesa tomorrow:

1) No tickets remain for the event and the original president of the organizing club was selective in reserving tickets for press.

[AllSides @AllSidesNow]

Americans overwhelmingly see @NPR's bias as Lean Left.

In a 2022 AllSides Blind Bias Survey, 600 Americans blindly rated news content from NPR as Lean Left on average — close to Left.

@JoeKhalilTV thank you for your reporting on this

Katherine Maher, NPR CEO:
“I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively.”

Congressman “Wuhan?”

Maher: “ We acknowledge the new CIA evidence is worthy of coverage and we have covered it.

🎉It’s the 15-year anniversary of Obama saying we can get single payer if Dems win, then him disavowing that, killing the public option & passing the Heritage Foundation plan thats created 20% denial rates, $26k premiums & $370 billion of insurer profits. https://t.co/ZOsAFaxWev
