Jaquez Lewis similarly showed little remorse; at her sentencing last week she didn't apologize to the three victims, her constituents, the state Senate or the people of Colorado. This was forging letters in an ethics investigation. Hardly at the same level of what Peters was convicted on.

Every day they dismantle more of our guardrails and knock down speed limit signs and cut everyone’s brake lines β€” and eventually there is going to be a massive pileup on this metaphorical highway equivalent to *or worse than* the 2020 pandemic.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

According to Nielsen, 'CBS Evening News' just recorded its lowest-rated February of the 21st century, averaging 4.4 million total viewers and 538,000 in the key 25-54 demographic.

The Taliban are burning musical instruments in the name of morality. It is an assault on all culture The sounds of Afghan history are being erased to prevent music’s β€˜moral corruption’ of the Afghan people. We can help keep Afghanistan’s music alive. Plus, Eliane Radigue’s deep listening, and the brilliance of Sinners’s score

This is just pathetic, to be playing like this at the end of February.

Keeler: Nuggets legend Doug Moe was face of Denver sports before John Elway, its Joker before Nikola Jokic Doug Moe became the face of Denver sports before John Elway, the Nuggets’ Joker before Nikola Jokic. And the NBA still hasn’t quite caught up with him.

πŸ€ #Nuggets Nation just lost the greatest stiff of all. Doug Moe officially left us for That Big Coffee Shop In The Sky, holding Big Jane in one hand and Saint Peter with the other. A tribute to a Denver lcon, via @nuggetsnews:

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Rep. Bottoms said he would take questions. He didn't. He also didn't provide any evidence of his pedophilia claims.

NEW: State Rep Scott Bottoms (R) claims, without offering evidence, that there are pedophile rings involving elected officials at Colorado's Capitol.

When the GOP candidate for Governor wouldn't agree to a scheduled interview, we met him for an unscheduled interview.

A district attorney's office in suburban Denver withdrew from a veterans treatment program, whereby a team monitors veteran defendants' compliance with probation. Colorado's judicial ethics panel determined judges can still participate without the DA:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β€” Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man β€œpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
