Her resignation follows an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump, who is suing the network and its program, “60 Minutes,” for allegedly editing an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to benefit her ahead of the 2024 election.

Gaines: Phil Weiser spends your tax dollars suing Trump and backing gun control

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project There but for the grace of God goes Colorado I was corresponding with someone recently and they mentioned something interesting. This person is a lawyer and said they were in a 10th circuit (Federal) courtroom recently and overheard an appellate case out of New Mexico about gun control. I am not sure if you remember, but New Mexico's governor made quite a splash a while back by declaring a public health emergency related to guns, trying essentially to use that to take away the Second Amendment rights of the citizens of that state. Those orders, and later iterations of same, have been working their way through the courts ever since. The first link below is to that case if you're curious. This person asked a neighbor...

Trump makes big announcement following ‘very frank’ two-hour call with Putin

By Kassy Akiva | Daily Wire After a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, President Donald Trump announced that ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine would begin immediately. In a statement following the call, Trump said he believes the call “went very well” and that the “tone and spirit of the conversation was excellent.” “Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” Trump said. “The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY WIRE

Comer thinks house has identified Biden’s autopen staffer

By Mark Swanson | Newsmax House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Friday that the panel has opened an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to issue his eleventh-hour pardons, adding he thinks they know the staffer who did it, the Washington Examiner reported. Comer made the comments in a speech to the Republican National Lawyers Association’s policy conference in Washington. “So our newest investigation at Oversight Committee is we’re investigating the autopen, and I think we’ve identified the staffer” who operated it, Comer said, according to the Examiner. “If what we think is going to play out on the autopen [investigation], it’s going to create a strong case on the pardons.” READ THE FULL STORY AT NEWSMAX...

MAGA baby savings accounts part of pro-family ‘one, big, beautiful bill’

By Libby Emmons | The Post Millennial The Trump administration's One, Big, Beautiful Bill currently making its way through Congress is being touted as pro-family legislation by the White House, in no small part because of the provision for MAGA baby savings account. This allows families to take a tax deduction in order to use that money to set up savings accounts for their babies. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke about the provision during an early morning briefing, saying "This one big, beautiful bill is also pro-family. It will increase the child tax credit to $2,500 per child, establish optional savings account for newborn babies with a $1,000 credit added and strengthen paid family leave." "This bill also delivers historic tax relief to America's s...

4 polls show Trump with strong approval ratings

By Michael Katz  | Newsmax President Donald Trump's trip last week to the Middle East and his administration's recent progress on trade agreements appear to have boosted his perception among American voters, with four national polls showing his favorability rating above 47%, consistent with the level following his inauguration. Polls released Monday by Morning Consult, Rasmussen Reports, and Harvard CAPS/Harris  showed Trump's approval rating at 48%, 49%, and 47%, respectively, and a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll released Sunday showed his approval rating at 50%. "Despite the doom and gloom headlines from news organizations, the American people actually feel great about the direction of the country," White House principal deputy secretary and senior adviser Harrison Fields told Ne...

A tale of two cities: How two Colorado mayors stand far apart on immigration

By Deborah Grigsby | Denver Gazette Colorado's two most populous cities are separated by fewer than 60 miles, but when it comes to their approach to immigration law enforcement, the mayors of Colorado Springs and Denver stand much farther apart. To some extent, both mayors are merely articulating their respective cities' positions, though the crackdown on illegal immigration by the Trump administration has put the spotlight on their contrasting views. On the one hand, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has repeatedly defended his city's response to the illegal immigration crisis, and, at one point, suggested civil disobedience as a proper action against a federal mass deportation program.  On the other hand, Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade welcomed a major ICE ...

Jared Polis vetoes Colorado labor movement’s priority bill. Union leaders say they’ll be back.

By Jesse Paul | Colorado Sun Gov. Jared Polis made his expected veto of Senate Bill 5 official on Friday, a decision that’s sure to deepen the rift between him and the Colorado labor movement, as well as Democrats in the legislature.  The measure would have abolished a requirement in the Colorado Labor Peace Act that 75% of workers at a company sign off before unions can negotiate with businesses over union security. That’s after a majority of workers vote to unionize. Union security is the term for when workers are forced to pay fees for collective bargaining representation — regardless of whether they are members of their workplace’s union. Unions are required to bargain on behalf of all workers at a company, including nonmembers. That’s why unions feel it’s only fair that union...

Colorado files amicus brief supporting DEI initiatives in lawsuit

By Thelma Grimes | Colorado Politics Colorado joined yet another coalition of 18 states in filing a court brief supporting the legal challenge to two of President Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs, even as a federal court blocked cuts to public health grants.  In the case involving public health funding, U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy in Rhode Island granted a temporary restraining order against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services terminating $11 billion in public health grants, including $229 million in Colorado. That lawsuit, filed April 1 by 23 states and the District of Columbia, argued that cutting billions in federal money from state public health departments would decimate health infrastruc...

Trump signs bill to protect young people from sextortion and revenge porn

By  Amanda Prestigiacomo | Daily Wire President Donald Trump signed the bipartisan “Take It Down Act” into law on Monday, surrounded by First Lady Melania Trump and lawmakers who helped advance the bill. The “Take It Down Act” makes publishing non-consensual intimate imagery, real or AI-generated, a federal crime. It requires social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook to remove content that features explicit images or videos of minors, known as “child sexual abuse material,” or CSAM, or “revenge porn,” within 48 hours of the content being flagged. Mrs. Trump has been a fierce advocate for the “Take It Down Act,” encouraging lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to push the legislation forward. FLOTUS opened the signing with remarks about the bipartisan effort to...
