DSA's official platform: abolish the Senate, subordinate the presidency and Supreme Court to Congress, draft a new constitution. Even Bernie Sanders says no. AOC just rejoined anyway. This is written down, in their own words. @ShainaCole_
A Utah judge ruled Tyler Robinson will stand trial on all seven charges in the assassination of Charlie Kirk — including aggravated murder, which leaves him eligible for the death penalty. Not guilty pleas entered. Trial is next.

Patricia Fox's daughter was left minimally conscious, nonverbal, and fed through a G-tube after a hit-and-run by someone in the country illegally. Her question to Congress: why was he here to hit her in the first place? @angelmompatti

A new commentary points to fixed cameras logging where you work, worship, and take your kids — no warrant, no individualized suspicion, often no statute authorizing it at all. Rep. Lauren Boebert says "if you're innocent" isn't how the Constitution works. @laurenboebert@RepBoebert

A 75-year-old warning about socialism said private property would become "perpetually insecure" under its rule. Watching Mamdani run New York, Kelly Sloan says that prophecy just found its proof of concept. @KVSloan25 https://t.co/Z3ptTz76DX
4.25 million gallons of raw sewage. E. coli readings still high a week later. 10 wildlife areas under advisory. And it's peak harvest season for the Lower Arkansas Valley's cantaloupes and peppers. This isn't over.

Scrap the flat tax for a graduated system that could cost you $2 billion more a year — that's just one of a dozen+ measures Colorado voters face in November, alongside gender-surgery bans and immigration questions. Read up now.

A Cheyenne County landowner said no to Xcel's eminent domain grab for a wind farm right-of-way. The state Supreme Court just backed him — unanimously — over Xcel, the Colorado Energy Office, AND the Sierra Club.

73% of Americans are uncomfortable with transgender athletes in female sports. Colorado lawmakers moved the opposite direction anyway. Now two ballot initiatives ask voters directly: did the state get ahead of you?
Mountain Minute for 9/3: Colorado has misreported its own contract spending by hundreds of millions—or billions—three years running. Plus: vehicle registration penalties hit a record, socialists now outnumber Republicans in Denver, and a federal judge pauses a major Colorado gun case.
Colorado told the legislature two entire state departments awarded ZERO dollars in contracts. Reality: hundreds of millions. The state's own auditor found $2.1B in errors — and this year's report might not even be sent to lawmakers. @ShainaCole_
A 2022 Fulton County lawsuit alleged Dominion machines couldn't reconcile votes cast with votes counted — and didn't meet their own certification conditions. Now DOJ wants that equipment preserved.

Feds just ordered 270+ trucking schools shut down — 110 for failing basic English proficiency. A Colorado school made the list. A truck rescue founder says he sees the language barrier on the roadside "every single day."

Boulder County's "assault weapons" and magazine bans are on ice — a federal judge is waiting on the Supreme Court, which just agreed to decide whether the Constitution protects your right to own an AR-15. Big case coming.

17% of Denver voters now call themselves socialists — up from 11% just two years ago. Only 15% call themselves Republican. The trend line in Denver keeps moving in one direction, and it's not toward the center.

Montana is studying Colorado's flat tax as the model to follow — down from an 11% top rate to a flat 4.4%. Meanwhile Colorado progressives want to ditch the very policy other states are trying to copy. @NashHerm https://t.co/t7RhNPEb0h
