Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that more than 100 countries have approached the U.S. “wanting to help rebalance global trade” in response to President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements.
Oops, they did it again.
That’s right, after being rejected outright in the latest, ill-timed, usually-low-voter-turnout-to-benefit-progressives, springtime elections, our city council once again generously served up another slice of cake while completely ignoring the voice of the people who screamed loudly on April 8, “We don’t want your ideas, follies or leadership anymore!”

Denver prides itself on progressive values and compassion for its diverse communities. But recent events have exposed a troubling reality: the city’s criminal justice policies—specifically low cash bail for serious felony offenses and short notification windows for ICE detainers—are creating a revolving door for dangerous criminals, putting our neighborhoods at risk.
The case of Bayron Turcios-Murillo, a confirmed Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang member, is a stark example of how these policies fail to protect the public while allowing violent offenders to slip through the cracks.
Democratic lawmakers, who are preparing for a fight with the executive branch over a myriad of issues, will seek an override of Gov. Jared Polis’ veto on Friday of a bill that sought to increase deadlines to fulfill public records requests in Colorado.

A federal judge on Tuesday struggled to understand why the United States government is claiming an “interest” in a relatively narrow issue related to the prosecution and conviction of former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters.
Although the government now alleges Peters’ state criminal case may have been politically motivated, the U.S. Department of Justice’s attorney would not say what evidence, if any, the department has to that effect.
