People with disabilities would pay more for on-demand rides if RTD approves changes A proposal to charge a $6.50 base fare for Access-on-Demand rides is drawing fierce pushback.

Many riders say the paratransit service has transformed their lives since it launched in 2020, but RTD staff say it’s gotten too expensive.

This is yet another example of how they project their behavior onto others as a distraction tactic. I'm amazed how many people fall for it.🙄

They said it: Leaders at the UN, in their own words UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Many leaders saying many things about many topics that matter to them, to their regions, to the world: That’s what the U.N.

"In Palau, we have a saying: ‘Ng di sengsongd e mrecherchii a klengoes’ —'small twigs banded together can bring a pot to boil.’ This wisdom reminds us that even the smallest among us, when united and determined, can drive meaningful change.”

Analysis exposes 47 'distraction tactics' Trump is using to dodge Epstein controversy MAGA Republicans are sharply divided over President Donald Trump and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Trump is praising Bondi and urging members of his party to move on from Epstein, even accusing Republicans who remain heavily focused on the case of being "duped by Democrats" and falling for a "hoax." But former Fox News host Megyn Kelly believes that Trump is handling the case very badly and is being unreasonable by telling other Republicans to move on from Epstein. In an article published by Politico on July 31, four reporters (Giselle Ruhiyyih Ewing, Anna Wiederkehr, Abhinanda Bhattacharyya and Paula Friedrich) list 47 things that Trump would rather talk about than Epstein. READ MORE: 'You guys made this happen': Dems find a way to stick it to a furious GOP "President Donald Trump has long been a practitioner of distraction tactics during unflattering news cycles," the journalists explain. "But with the president looking to move on from the spiraling Jeffrey Epstein crisis, his flood-the-zone approach with endless posts has taken the familiar deflection playbook to a new extreme. Trump has posted hundreds of times in recent weeks as the disgraced financier's case has gripped headlines." Ewing, Wiederkehr, Bhattacharyya and Friedrich continue, "The posts run the gamut, including major official actions like announcing new tariff baselines, celebrating legislation like the GENIUS Act and marking foreign leaders' visits. And many have been, by Trump standards, fairly typical: contemplating trying to force the renaming of the Washington Commanders, promoting friends’ books and television shows, and teasing a Coca Cola drink made with U.S. cane sugar. But many posts have also leaned into Trump's willingness in his second term to use the power of government to threaten his perceived enemies." Politico, the journalists report, "compiled a list of topics dominating Trump's social media feed in the weeks since the Epstein saga blew up." Those topics range from U.S. Department of Education cuts to Texas politics to fentanyl. Also on Politico's list: Trump's lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, a new book by Fox News' host Mark Levin, and trade deals with Japan and Indonesia. READ MORE: The one man who has the strength to finish off Donald Trump Politico lists Trump's attacks on American actress Rosie O'Donnell, who now lives in the Republic of Ireland and has been a scathing critic of him. Trump is threatening to revoke O'Donnell's U.S. citizenship, but she is a lifelong citizen who was born and raised in the United States. The reporters note, "The president has no clear legal pathway to revoke the citizenship of the New York-born comedian."
