NEW: Denver’s Auditor says he will not countersign Mayor Johnston’s unilateral contract with Flock that bypassed City Council approval. The Mayor says he doesn’t need the Auditor’s approval. 9NEWS has reported Denver is looking to replace Flock with another company anyway.

Best moment of these Games so far

A bill to strengthen punishment for child sex trafficking is moving through the Colorado legislature with strong bipartisan support... as a GOP state rep claims there are pedophile rings in the Colorado legislature

Let’s build a Habitat for Humanity house in Northern Colorado!

Thank you for being part of the Word of Thanks Fund!

We are approaching Week #300 of your Word of Thanks microgiving. As long as you’re willing to give and I’m able to organize these efforts, we’ll keep working together in Colorado to do good. Now at $17M+ raised since 2020. Thank you!

This week's donations will be boosted by an additional $50,00 from the Word of Thanks Fund, due to the generosity of our 7,000+ monthly givers, who have signed up here to support each non-profit we feature:

There’s a huge demand for affordable housing in Northern Colorado and Hope Springs is an ambitious effort to provide it at scale for working families in Weld County.

We’re building a house in the Hope Springs neighborhood outside Greeley. An entire neighborhood of affordable homes with parks and a child care center. They just lost $1M in expected federal funding, cutting this year’s builds from 40 to 20. Or 21, with our help.

Grateful that so many MAGA influencers are sharing our reporting that questions ICE’s (now deleted) claim about law enforcement in Colorado. But their headlines suggest they didn’t actually watch the report.

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.

“If you love hockey, you belong.” What a simple and powerful statement on NBC tonight

GOP Gov candidate Rep Scott Bottoms alleges Capitol pedophile rings

GOP Gov candidate Joe Oltmann: "If they do not start arresting people, the people need to take matters into their own hands"

Speaker Julie McCluskie (D) says she fears conspiracy theories will lead to violence

That’s the talented and kind Chris Hansen. I’ll pass it along to him

State Rep Scott Bottoms (R) says he tipped off the FBI to his claims of pedophile rings at the Colorado State Capitol three years ago. Then his story about the FBI shifted. I asked him about that. He responded with insults.

Meet Minnesota Bathrobe Lady Sam Stroozas of MPR News | Minnesota Public Radio Earlier this week, an unexpected and fast-moving incident unfolded in St. Paul, Minnesota involving both federal and local law enforcement. As crowds gathered and questions mounted, one of our MPR New...

NEW: Denver appears to be breaking ties with Flock, asking other companies to come run the city's network of surveillance cameras

I have much respect for CPR News. I can't speak to their reporting re: Bottoms because I haven't seen it. But you'll see at the end of the clip that I specifically spoke to why we chose to cover this story in case other outlets just choose to talk to him about roads and schools. Voters should know.

Thank you for acknowledging that accountability journalism is only possible with the support of news outlets and their owners

I appreciate that very much, Chris. The leaders at 9NEWS and TEGNA have steadfastly supported our accountability journalism for years. This work wouldn't be possible with their backing.

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.

NEW: President Trump is taking credit for Denver's impressive drop in homicides, which seems to conflict with his claims that the city is a lawless, leftist hellhole ravaged by crime. @marcsallinger.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social:

Lyons made the claim about local law enforcement at a hearing this morning. His claims did not mesh with our real-time reporting in 2024 on when the apartments were cleared of many occupants. We asked ICE which agency leaked their raid. No answer yet. Then the posts disappeared.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

Jesse had just asked me why I was at the Capitol. You hear me answer "unscheduled interview time" and, at that very moment, Representative Bottoms walked out of a hallway.

(sorry we didn't get to finish our conversation, Jesse)

Scheduled interviews are most productive for the interview subject, the journalist, and the public.

But if elected officials won't speak on important subjects, we'll stop by for an unscheduled interview

Gotta stay hydrated. Especially in Colorado
