These companies have announced their intention to increase US manufacturing

By Aislinn Murphy  | Fox Business The announcements, which have come from sectors such as tech, pharmaceuticals and automobiles, came amid President Donald Trump seeking to increase domestic manufacturing through tariffs and other measures. Here are some of the companies that have made such announcements. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) In early March, TSMC revealed it was putting $100 billion more toward advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S.  The increased investment "includes plans for three new fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities and a major R&D team center," the Taiwan-based company said.

The left’s sudden crusade for ‘Due process’ is a political smokescreen to defend mass migration

By  Brianna Lyman | The Federalist For weeks, media bombarded Americans with reports about a “Maryland father” who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador — a sympathetic figure supposedly plucked from the streets in a suburb in Baltimore. At the time it appeared the only available detail that stained Democrats’ caricature of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was his alleged involvement in MS-13. Such an allegation didn’t deter Democrats from rushing to his defense, with Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen going so far as to fly to El Salvador to sit down with Abrego Garcia — a surreal photo-op complete with margaritas. But as Hollen made his visit to El Salvador, new details surfaced: Abrego Garcia wasn’t just allegedly linked to MS-13 — he was also an accused wife-beater and hum...

Polis Vetoes Open Records Bill—But Conservatives Say It’s Too Little, Too Late

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board Governor Jared Polis vetoed a controversial bill last Thursday that would have made it more difficult—and more expensive—for Coloradans to access public records. But transparency advocates across the political spectrum say his sudden concern about responsive governance contradicts years of actions that have consistently chipped away at public accountability. Senate Bill 25-077, sponsored by Sen. Cathy Kipp (D–Fort Collins), would have: Extended response deadlines for open records requests from three to five days, and up to ten under “extenuating circumstances” Allowed government agencies to bundle multiple requests from the same person to increase feesEliminated the first free hour of research time for follow-up requests Created diffe...

$170K in stolen vehicles recovered, 4 arrested in Utah–Colorado theft ring

By Heather Willard | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office announced that four people were arrested last week for multiple automobile thefts that crossed the Colorado and Utah border. On April 15, Colorado and Utah law enforcement agencies were able to identify a suspect vehicle in eastern Utah. Law enforcement believed the suspects would return to Colorado in the early hours of April 16 with stolen vehicles. Law enforcement said they believe the suspects have used this tactic several times previously. On April 16, the Colorado State Patrol, Mesa County Sheriff’s Office and members of Special Problem Enforcement and Response, a multi-jurisdictional task force based out of Garfield County, located the suspect vehicles entering Colorado. Officers initi...

Bible sales up. Church attendance rising. Revival whispers loud.

By Debbie Kelley | Denver Gazette After years of more and more Americans claiming atheism, agnosticism or “nothing in particular” in religiosity, there are signs that the category is leveling off at 29% of the population, while at the same time, the continual decline of Americans who self-identify as Christians appears to have reached a plateau, according to a new study from Pew Research Center. Slightly more than 6 in 10 of the 36,908 respondents in the Religious Landscape Study released in February consider themselves to be Christians. Though that represents a 9-percentage-point drop from a decade ago, the stability is now a trend, Pew says. For the past five years, from 2019 through 2024, the Christian share of the adult population has remained between 60% and 64%, in...

Colorado’s wolf plan ignores the one thing wolves don’t: borders

By Ali Longwell | The Fence Post Over the last month, two of Colorado’s latest gray wolf transplants were killed after crossing the border into Wyoming.  Colorado Parks and Wildlife expects these types of movements into other states from the reintroduced wolf population. The species is known for traveling long distances in search of food or mates.  However, once the wolves leave Colorado, they lose certain protections afforded to them by both state and federal laws. But just how those protections change, and what might happen to them, depends entirely on which way they travel. In Colorado, gray wolves are considered “state endangered” in addition to being listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act and as an experimental population under a ...

Colorado lawmakers consider live-streaming legislative committee hearings for first time

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics The public has been asking for it for years, and it looks like it will finally happen. On Monday, the executive committee of the Legislative Council, comprised of six legislative leaders, looked at the cost of live-streaming videos of committee hearings at the Capitol. The discussion focused on a pilot program that would begin with the 2026 session. Should that move forward, Colorado would cease to be the only state in the nation that does not live-stream its legislative committee hearings. For years, the lack of live video streaming has been a problem for governmental transparency advocates and other members of the public. The cameras are already in the committee hearing rooms and used for remote testimony, so converting to live video ...

Lawsuits filed over student visa revocations in Colorado

By Gabrielle Franklin | Fox31 News AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — In reaction to the Trump administration’s decision to terminate the visiting status for dozens of exchange students in Colorado, some of those students are suing the government. The attorney representing the local students said he is concerned that a recent wave of student visa terminations could violate the Constitution. “There are a number of individuals who are here on student status, studying at various universities in Colorado: whether it be Colorado Springs, the University of Colorado, really any of the major universities. There’s been a recent wave of terminations of their student records: their student and exchange visitor information systems records,” said Zachary New, a partner at Joseph and Hall immigration law f...

Pete Hegseth, White House SLAM legacy media for ‘peddling lies’ after reports on second Signal chat

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hit back at reporting released on Sunday that claimed he discussed detailed information about forthcoming strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in a second Signal chat. The report from the New York Times cited four anonymous people with knowledge of the chat. "What a big surprise that a bunch of, a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out from the same media that peddled the Russia hoax," Hegseth told reporters when asked to respond to the "Signal chat controversy" while attending the White House Easter Egg Roll. "They got Pulitzers for a bunch of lies." "As they peddle those lies, no one ever calls them on it. See, this is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disg...
