What if Congress decided to go to work tomorrow? How many of us have worked weekend jobs or come in for a weekend when there's an emergency?

Oh, like the US just did? Maybe you should look in the mirror and then do your job.

As the U.S. celebrates its 250th birthday, many Latinos question whether they belong Many U.S.-born Latinos feel afraid and anxious amid the political rhetoric. Still, others wouldn't miss celebrating their country

I wonder this everyday.

A girl can dream that the Monforts finally do the right thing and put Colorado out of our misery and sell.

This isn’t normal for Colorado in February. I’m sounding the alarm (again) about the future water supply and fire danger. Our winter is the canary in the coal mine and the canary is dessicating.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s β€œmisplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Why am I supporting @philweiser.bsky.social
for CO’s next governor?

I just need 90 minutes of your time. See for yourself. Online forum with AG Weiser & Sen. Bennet.

Weiser has the Three E’s: the expertise, experience, & emotional intelligence to meet this moment.

Kiwiβ€” it either is bitter and tastes like the color green, or it is mushy and feels like a fruit past its prime.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

I was just coming here to say these. My teeth may rot out if my head from eating them, but that’s fine bc Circus Peanuts just dissolve anyway.

I have ranted about this for hours to anyone who would listen (and those who wouldn’t). I had no idea how any person with a scientific and/or ethical understanding would approve this. Now I know. This is criminal.

Where is DOGE when you need it? What a waste of taxpayer money to make sure Kristi Noem approves of their appearance πŸ™„. I would rather fund USAid, SNAP, and research grants again.

A new Trusted Voices podcast is out now, featuring Michael Harris, Dean ad interim of the Simmons School & Professor at Southern Methodist University, and a potentially controversial lightning round on how politicization is changing in Higher Education.

Oh my heart! Coco Puff looks so much like my Blue. He is the best boy, and I'm sure CP would be the best girl. Hoping someone in my network has room for a cuddle buddy and friend.

So… is everyone else seeing this? Just me? Bc this alone is the millionth reason for Congress to get involved or for another country to send their Jimmy Carter equivalent. Please!

What are you doing tonight? I’ll be at the Colorado Environmental Film Festival β€” join me!

CEFF is an SCFD (SCFD.org) grantee and I am honored to serve on the SCFD board. It is such a great fit for our funding because it combines art, science, culture, and community. And I love it includes action.

Fairβ€” I forgot that they don’t have Burt’s Bees dog shampoo unlike my pampered Good Boy. And my dog still smells about two days after a bath.

My husband and I are discussing whether or not Ewoks smell when they get wet (like a dog). How can they not?

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Homan might want to read our story.

A few months ago, we counted at least 170 Americans detained.

They were *almost all Latino.*

Trump admin is pulling supercomputers out of key weather research center | CNN A leading American research lab is slated to lose its critical supercomputing facility, according to a letter released Thursday by the National Science Foundation.

NCAR supercomputer center set to get cut = another example of something that'll make your weather forecasts - and yes, your weather apps - tangibly worse with less data.
