They’re calling it the “Making America Greater for Animals” movement.
In a continuation of his first term, President Donald Trump has bolstered his reputation as the best friend of animals by canceling grants for experiments on monkeys, dogs, and cats.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland was given a vote of no confidence by a teachers’ union during a meeting Thursday night.
Dorland has been in the position since April 2021, but last night the Jefferson County Public Schools teachers’ union said they’re not pleased with the overall direction the district is going.
On Wednesday night, Elon Musk made it clear that the reason he was leaving his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project was due to a rule limiting special government employees to 130 days of service rather than any rumored feud with President Donald Trump.
This week, Musk publicly criticized the tax and spending package championed by Trump, saying, “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.”

WHY MUSK IS SO IMPORTANT. Elon Musk‘s giant Starship spacecraft went out of control, tumbled, and broke apart several minutes into a test flight Tuesday night. It was the latest in a series of unsuccessful-but-still-instructive tests of Musk’s hugely ambitious rocket program, which is designed to go to Mars. And it is also, at least for now, the heart of the American space program. “Starship is the world’s largest and most powerful rocket,” the Washington Post reported, “and its test flights are crucial to the future of America’s space ambitions.”
That, and not a troubled venture into government, is what makes Musk so important. Musk is crucial to America’s space ambitions because, for a long time, after one of the greatest achievements in human history, the Apollo exploration of the moon, America seemed not to have any space ambitions at all. Musk changed that.

The attacks occurred over three days on the Crystal River Ranch, in the Crystal River Valley, and on the Lost Marbles and McCabe ranches, in the Roaring Fork Valley.

A black media personality was convicted last week of faking a hate crime against Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade to gin up votes for him, with the ringleader Derrick Bernard testifying that Mobolade was in on the hoax, and the FBI testifying that the mayor misled agents about his contact with Bernard.
Mobolade, who is Nigerian, won the election as a left-leaning independent in the traditional Republican stronghold in 2023 after the n-word was scrawled on one of his campaign signs and a cross set ablaze in front of it. Video of the scene was sent to the media, resulting in a swell of sympathy.
DOJ declined to indict, but questions mount over Colorado Springs mayor’s role in hoax Read More »
First, let’s say what should be said: cancer is brutal. No matter the person or politics, a diagnosis of aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer is devastating. President Biden is a husband, a father, and a human being.
No one should go through this lightly, and anyone with a shred of decency should extend basic compassion to him and his family as they face this battle.
But that human sympathy must not excuse institutional deception.

Cloudy skies didn’t stop more than 400 people from gathering at Riverside Cemetery on Saturday for Fort Morgan’s Memorial Day ceremony. Organized by American Legion Post 19 and joined by the 140th Fighter Squadron from Buckley Space Force Base, the event honored fallen service members.

In a motion to dismiss filed Friday in response to a lawsuit, Denver Public Schools (DPS) defended its use of lease-purchase agreements — a financing method critics say sidesteps required voter approval for public debt that could leave students without access to their schools if the district defaults.
“This allegedly unlawful ‘scheme’ is actually a common and completely legal method of financing projects for public entities in a manner that is authorized by statute and has been repeatedly ratified by Colorado courts,” DPS officials said in their filing.
As previously reported by The Denver Gazette, DPS has quietly taken on hundreds of millions of dollars in long-term debt through a controversial financing tactic that sidesteps the state’s constitutional ban on assuming debt without public approval.

EXCLUSIVE: The women’s activist sportswear brand XX-XY Athletics is suing the state of Colorado over a recent state law that the company claims would interfere with its ability to market its message.
The lawsuit takes aim at the state for passing a law called HB25-1312 and amending the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, which defines “gender expression” to include “chosen name” and “how an individual chooses to be addressed.” The laws state Coloradans have a right to access “public accommodations and advertising” that are free of discrimination on that basis.
