My midlife crisis was supposed to be me finally writing my novel, not rebuilding my entire life. (Don't worry you dumb manuscript, I am still gonna get you).

That being said, here are some cool things I have figured out and reaffirmed over the last couple days.

Colorado voters approve Proposition LL, letting state keep, spend all revenue it collects for school meals

The measure’s passage means the state no longer has limits on the money it collects and spends for the Healthy School Meals for All program under an initiative passed by voters in 2022 that limits income...

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It

The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

Aurora, Colorado's most diverse city, has largely been run by the GOP for decades. Many if not most were fairly moderate. 2025's clean sweep by progressives may reflect Aurora's dim view of MAGA and local ringleader Danielle Jurinsky's turn-it-to-11 style, on display here:

Is there a good summary of losses by book banners on far-right school boards? I see a lot of piecemeal info, wasn't sure if there was a good summary.

Colorado voted yesterday to pay for free school lunches by taxing the rich. The ballot was beautifully clear with a tiny table showing if you made less than 300K you pay nothing - and you’d pay less than $500 if you make over that. Tax the rich!!

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

I'm super stoked that Colorado voted to fund free meals for kids for schools.

(I've been saying lunches, but the program includes breakfasts, too.)

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

The Get More Smarter Podcast 🧠 @getmoresmarter.com · 19h

Colorado is doubling down on our super popular program to tax the rich and pay for free school meals for every single public school kid. Universal programs have herd immunity. Tax the rich and use the money to give everyone else something popular.
