BREAKING:
Governor Jared Polis has reduced the state prison sentence of Tina Peters. The former Mesa County clerk was convicted of tampering with election equipment after the 2020 presidential election. She was given nearly a 9-year sentence.
Polis says he's effectively cutting her sentence in half ... to four and a half years. The decision makes Peters eligible for parole on June 1st.
Peters was sentenced in 2024 and has spent more than 600 days incarcerated.
The governor's decision will likely be deeply unpopular among Democrats and election officials in the state.

Water use and public skepticism are the biggest hurdles. Colorado Springs Utilities says any nuclear plan must hit near-100% water recovery. Their year-long feasibility study begins soon.

Colorado is debating whether AI data centers use too much water and power.

Meanwhile, the Space Force is signaling: we need them to do the mission.

That tension could one day define the local fight. https://t.co/uoVMLDmkhi

Grok seems to think this is the answer to everything lately...

Colorado may have a choice to make:

If it wants to stay central to the U.S. Space Force mission, it likely needs to embrace AI data centers — and all the power/water demands that come with them.

P.S. please forgive me for sending this same message to your Facebook and X accounts as well. It’s important I reach you in time to nail down an interview time by Wednesday.

We dove deep into Senate Bill 98 on a recent episode of the CPR News Purplish podcast. Listen here: https://t.co/S7M2Xxn0To

A key vote in a bill to give local governments control over noise has been delayed at the state capitol.
The house committee vote for Senate Bill 98 was expected on Tuesday.
The bill would let cities and counties grant more exceptions to statewide noise restrictions.
It easily passed the Senate with only four no votes.
But Tuesday’s committee hearing before the House Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee had hours of testimony from disgruntled neighbors of the Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs.
Sponsors worried it wouldn’t have the votes to pass the committee, so they asked for a week to prepare amendments.

“It is somewhat unusual to get this far into the process and having had two big hearings with a lot of witnesses and still be working out, still negotiating. But that does happen,” said committee Chair, Democrat Meg Froelich.

The noise control bill goes before the committee again next Tuesday. #copolitics

GOP Rep. Jeff Hurd (#CO03) on Trump's threat says the US must be "prepared to act in defense of our interests." Adds use of American power "demands clarity of purpose, discipline & a defined objective. Congress must also be informed and engaged consistent" with Article 1.

Artemis Mission Route in 3D
- This animation visualizes the Artemis mission trajectory in a dynamic 3D perspective, showing how the spacecraft travels through the Earth–Moon system while all celestial bodies are in motion. Instead of a static path, the Sun, Earth, and Moon move simultaneously, revealing the true complexity of orbital mechanics. The result highlights how the Artemis route is not a simple curve, but a constantly shifting trajectory shaped by gravity and motion. This view provides a clearer understanding of how modern space missions navigate through space in real time. Right now, Artemis is on its return path to Earth and is expected to arrive back soon as it completes its mission. The sizes and distances of the Sun, Earth, and Moon are not to scale and are adjusted for visual purposes.
