"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.

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.”

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 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

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.

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