"Colorado ... Democrats introduced a bill backed by data center industry groups. If approved, it would give data center developers a 20-year exemption from paying state sales and use taxes — if they meet a series of economic and environmental requirements." www.cpr.org/2026/01/20/c...
Colorado lawmakers brace for their biggest battle yet over AI data centers
The data center boom is coming for Colorado. Lawmakers are set to decide whether to incentivize it or guard against the potential impacts.

I thought I had an understanding of what was going on in Minneapolis but this podcast broke down the systemic legal process abuse and the human impacts in a way I really appreciate and did not fully grasp.

This is good even if you are not an attorney, but almost essential if you are an attorney.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

In Denver courtroom, Trump administration pushes to send asylum seekers to third countries
“It seems like a deliberate attempt for the government to strip them of their right to file asylum in this country,” said Jose Rosales, a Denver immigration attorney.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary.

And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

It's still January 6, 2021. The insurrection is not over.
According to the White House, this is the "true" timeline of January 6th.

It’s darkly humorous he can’t even muster the ability to give some lip service to democracy or allowing the Venezuelan people to choose their leader.
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?

TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

On a personal note: Sen. Winter was an incredibly kind person. She always wanted to help. She often brightened my day at the Capitol.

She didn't shy away from tough questions and she was fierce in her beliefs. She was brave in coming forward in 2018 to report sexual harassment.

grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.
