Makes me want to root for him. He gave an articulate nuanced statement describing what most people that i know are feeling right now. Too bad the president lacks any semblance of class or basic empathy.

Went on a walk this morning with nice views of the flatirons and peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park. Some things are still amazing in our country.

Unlike the felon who just extorted another person's prize, she was a nominee. To call her out after the revolting behavior or the maga wing of the court is pathetically absurd hypocricy. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The Trump Administration exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review The announcement comes just days after NPR revealed the administration had secretly rewritten safety and environmental standards.

Fighting Back: Utilities Challenge Coal Power Plant Emergency Two major utilities are protesting a federal order requiring them to operate the Craig Unit 1 coal power plant in Colorado.

Some potential good news as energy suppliers and the Sierra Club agree that there is not an energy emergency in Colorado that trump says forces a coal fired power plant to remain open against the desires of just about all interested parties. cleantechnica.com/2026/01/31/f...

First, he was not attacking anyone. Second, the statement here clearly violates Second Amendment as it's been applied. Liar and hypocrite. The statement seems like accessory to murder to me.

Why is this entire terrorist cell of thugs not in jail? This is a well documented, brutal assault.

Although NOAA has received some funding, NCAR, one of the World's premier research facilities, is facing potential destruction because a pathetic man is mad that a sychophant of his who committed voter fraud on his behalf is in jail.

I am ashamed of my president at this point. The man should be impeached and removed from any position of authority. The main thing he's done for NATO is work to destroy it.

House Republican introduces bill to let Trump annex Greenland The bill would authorize Trump to take "such steps as may be necessary" to take control of the island territory.

This bill destroys NATO and essentially makes the United States into a terrorist state as I see it. Please call Congressional leaders and tell them to vigorously oppose this. www.axios.com/2026/01/12/t...

Just because the leaders refuse to confront the threat doesn't mean that millions of Americans aren't. There are protests every week where I live it's just that the trump owned media doesn't cover stuff like that.

National Park Pass 'Stickergate': Creative Workarounds Find New Ways of Covering Controversial Redesign Not a fan of the new national park pass design? Several artists have proposed creative solutions, despite pushback from the Trump administration.

The felon again breaks the law and the First Ammendment's guarantee of free speech while simultaneously trying to gut the park service. Disgusting. gearjunkie.com/outdoor/nati...

I disagree. This event does not "test" the limits. It completely rewrites them and says that the president can do whatever and there are no constraints whatsoever.
