The Denver Rustlers have been supporting 4-H and the @colostatefair Junior Livestock Sale since ’84.
Wonderful to see so many other leaders and friends at this special event in support of kids.
No Kings Boulder! Most folks I've seen at a Boulder political event since 2020. Let's stand up for the people around us and raise our voices for justice and the rule of law. In memory of MN Rep Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, with prayers for MN Sen Hoffman and wife Yvette.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States. It is nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

They may look like idiots, and they may talk like idiots, but don't let that fool you: they really are idiots.

We need to understand who at NOAA is being fired and why.
Gutting NOAA without any plan weakens Colorado’s ability to respond to wildfires or track the West’s worsening drought.
Science and weather services for Americans is not government waste. Firing the hardworking Coloradans who do this work with no strategy or communication is wrong.
NOAA begins firing hundreds of staffers trib.al/LgFbdYM
Excited to see this - Michael is a strong and compassionate leader we could use in higher office right now to protect all Coloradans from the abuse of would-be tyrants, bigots, and criminals. @MDoughertyCO denverpost.com/2025/02/25/co…

Last week, Elon took $8 MILLION with an M—as in ‘Musk can’t count’—and counted it as $8 BILLION with a B—as in ‘BS.’
That is not saving money—it is poor reading comprehension.
He might be a joke, but none of this is funny—and he's creating actual fraud.
Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.
A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.
It isn't fraud because he doesn’t like it.
A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

Two figures to ponder.
1. if your local power company is privately owned, you've seen energy rate hikes at *49% above inflation* over the last three years.
2. if your local power company is *publicly* owned, you've seen energy rates go up at *44% below inflation*.

ALT A reclining, smug businessman sits in a comfortable chair, behind it, an armed highway with comically long pistols brandishes his guns at a tightope walker poised on a power line. A caricature millionaire in tux and topper, clutching a comically large money sack, perches on the power wire next to the tighrope walker, bellowing at him.
