This is a first for me. CO Rep. Lauren Boebert's financial disclosure for 2024 discloses nothing. No book royalties (it was in her last disclosure), no bank accounts, no home mortgage. #copolitics

On the one hand, it's still early (primary is a year away). But on the other -- you look at the number of Rs running for Gov and compare that to the lack of Rs getting into the Senate race to challenge Hickenlooper and it's head scratching.

There is still a scene that is active at the original crash and fire site. Traffic though will be allowed. It appears to get past the investigation to the tunnel.

This is some of the slow traffic before the original crash that is now getting past it towards the tunnel. Expect still significant delays west of the tunnel, even though the interstate is open.

41 planes - 41! - waiting to take off as nasty 50-60 mph microbursts rock Denver Int'l Airport. This is why friends don’t let friends fly in/out of Denver on summer afternoons unless they have to… #COwx

In this clip, Erin Burnett of CNN asks how I am handling the pressure on media. My answer: We have freedom of speech and the press. We may pay a price for exercising it. Our job is to accept that, humbly do the best work we can, and make sure we can defend it.
