This is some amazing modern artwork by a very talented Indigenous artist named John Isaiah Pepion of the Piikuni Blackfeet Nation in Montana. His style is known as ledger art and was originally popular amongst Native American artists from Plains tribes in the 1800s. Beautiful!

A new House Republican — sworn-in just a few days ago — was apparently tasked to be the main sponsor of the House Republican conference's resolution celebrating their work over the last 14 months.

Tough assignment.

NCAR’s leading work helps protect Colorado against major disasters and changing weather patterns, benefiting many organizations and businesses in our state. Now we want to share these real stories to defend NCAR. It’s important to speak up about how detrimental breaking up NCAR would be to our communities and industries. Comments are due today.

From Eagle-Vail to Wolcott, and Steamboat to Fort Collins, the 2nd District sent more athletes to the Winter Olympics than any other in the country!

Deeply proud of the Coloradans who participated and inspired by their tenacity & determination.

Former ICE agent: I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE Academy as deficient, defective, and broken. On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant. I watched ICE cut 240 hours of vital classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers' authority.

A massive and powerful thunderstorm, accompanied by breathtaking rainbow-colored clouds 🌈🌩️, swept across the historic Stonehenge stones on February 22, 2026, at 6:01 PM.

This moment was captured by a man named Michael, who was waiting for sunset to document the scene. The clouds quickly covered the sky, creating a truly beautiful sight. He asked, "Did anyone else see this?" 🤔

If it’s a Monday in Washington D.C., it can only mean one thing:

House Republicans are considering legislation on showerheads and dishwashers.

Again.

House Republicans’ top priority this week?

Eliminating permit fees for Meta & the largest tech companies on planet earth, so that they can build undersea cables in marine sanctuaries.

Seriously.

"If remembering the fallen is a violation of the rules, then silence about their killers is complicity."

Ukrainian footballers at the Russian‑destroyed Lokomotyv stadium in Kyiv showed their support for Vladyslav Heraskevych, who was disqualified before the first run of the 2026 Olympic skeleton event because he refused to follow the order not to wear his "helmet of remembrance" with images of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia.

Location: The Wild Horse Refuge, Craig, CO.

Since moving to the open range here at the Refuge, Genie has transitioned seamlessly into the herd. She has found her place within Diablo’s Band, often seen grazing or running alongside Acorn and DunDeal. Her striking copper mane and tail make her easy to spot as she enjoys her newfound freedom across the refuge. Thank you for making this incredible place a reality.

Just after sunset near Flagstaff, Arizona, a developing storm cloud caught the last light of day in a rare way.

As the Sun dipped below the horizon, its rays passed through a thin veil of high-altitude ice crystals above the storm. Instead of a simple glow, the light split and spread into shifting bands of color that rippled along the cloud’s edge. From the ground, it looked like a painted wave suspended in the sky.

This wasn’t fire or aurora.
It was cloud iridescence...an optical effect that appears when sunlight diffracts through tiny, uniformly sized droplets or ice crystals. The swirling shapes came from upper-level winds stretching the cloud layers while the color followed the light.

Moments like this don’t last long.
As the Sun dropped lower and the angle changed, the spectrum faded back into gray, leaving behind only the memory of a cloud that seemed to glow from within.
