Coloradans gathered for three special moments today where the power of community was on display. Each was thanks in part to the generosity of your Word of Thanks microgiving campaigns. If you have a moment, I’d like to take you to each.

From a high school game in Utah. This may be the best interception I’ve ever seen.

This is spectacularly stupid.

Me: Don’t expect too much, it’s not like the emails will have a smoking gun.

The emails: Please see attached smokinggun.pdf.

I stole this joke and I am 100% unrepentant

yo mamma’s kerning so bad, all her hyperlinks say “dick here”

As a reminder, there is no legislative backing to this. Exact change is still required. It's just that everyone will be struggling to find enough pennies to do it correctly. And we'll all have to muddle through haphazardly.

COMMENTARY: It appears Rep. Lauren Boebert did a brave thing today and deserves all our thanks. #copolitics

Then don't read him. It's not that hard.

These are incredibly stupid comments. Telling Kruse that he should stop doing social media? As in, stop speaking publicly about issues? Why, because he hurt your fee-fees? Get your head out of your ass.

i dont think there’s ever been a point where corporate america has had a sincere sense of morality but it is probably a sign of the times that the culture at most major firms does not even pretend to encourage ethical behavior anymore. the transformation is really stark in tech.

Bar discipline is one of the most important fora for this fight.

It's really important to make it clear to the next generation of would be Eastmans and Chesebros that if they do this stuff they probably will not practice law again.

Even if they don't call for Schumer's resignation, it should at least be incumbent on them to publicly denounce this. So far, crickets.

Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.

Thank you for this. Now do the Adam's Mark Hotel.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark

Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap

The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name

He did this six times

Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

It’s crazy how the entire national platform from discretionary spending to diplomacy has become a series of make-a-wish projects for a senile octogenarian.

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

Yep. In fact, Republicans will respond to tonight's results by redoubling their voter suppression efforts.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

You love to see it.

Trump, holding the GOP in front of him as a shield from the bullets

American left-wing patriotism is Jewish guys signing Christian anti-slavery hymns about the first Muslim mayor of New York and I think that’s beautiful

An overdue takedown of one of the nastiest and most dishonest Republicans in Congress.

Ok, in general you're surely correct. But in this case there is simply no way that Charlie Hurt is that stupid. He's just playing a racist character here.

What's instructive tho is just how ignorant Charlie believes his audience to be.

Democrats: Important to pick the precise dollar amount of minimum wage increase that’s most popular lest everyone get mad at us

Republicans: hahah yes, a Gatsby party at the president’s luxury resort at the exact moment benefits expire for millions!!

Voters: I like you roughly the same amount

"Masih Alinejad is often described as 'fearless.' She is brave almost beyond belief. But no human being is immune to fear. Masih and I have discussed this. Of *course* she is afraid. But she does her work anyway." That is a key ingredient of heroism.
