Commentary: Williams can’t drain the swamp while he’s stuck in the mud

By Colorado Peak Politics Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams won the support of his party delegates during a district assembly to qualify for the ballot in the 5th congressional district election to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn. It’s no surprise that delegates who also voted for Williams last year to serve as chairman would also back his congressional race. That’s why other top contenders for the seat took the alternate route to get on the ballot through the petition process with voters, which requires a minimum of 1,500 valid signatures. rEAD THE FULL COMMENTARY AT COLORADO PEAK POLITICS

Trump Media stock jumps as much as 50 percent before brief halt for volatility

By Jack Phillips | The Epoch Times Shares of former President Donald Trump’s social media and technology company jumped about 50 percent on Tuesday in its first day of trading on the Nasdaq before it was briefly halted for volatility. After making its debut, shares for the Trump Media & Technology Group stock, called “DJT,” spiked 50 percent. But it was briefly halted because of the sharp rise before it had resumed trading at around 9:40 a.m. ET. It’s not uncommon for the trading of highly-watched stocks to be suspended when the price increases or plunges too quickly. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE EPOCH TIMES

Congress tells BLM: Fewer roundups, more humane fertility control

By The Fence Post (Via American Wild Horse Conservation) WASHINGTON, D.C. — Last week, Congress took decisive action to prioritize humane wild horse and burro management practices over controversial helicopter roundups. President Joe Biden signed into law a $460 billion package of fiscal year 24 spending bills on Saturday, March 9, narrowly averting a government shutdown. Among the provisions was a significant spending cut for the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Program budget, emphasizing the need for a shift toward humane and sustainable in-the-wild conservation strategies. The bill allocates $141.9 million for the BLM program, marking a $5.9 million reduction from last year’s budget. Notably, the legislation preserves $11 million in funding specifically designa...

Colorado lawmakers reject request to hire state lawyers to prosecute gun crimes in federal court

By Jesse Paul | The Colorado Sun The Colorado lawmakers who write the state’s budget rejected a request from the governor and attorney general to hire a group of lawyers to be loaned out to the federal government to prosecute gun crimes in federal court. The Joint Budget Committee voted twice earlier this month to reject the proposal, which would have set aside hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire as many as four attorneys, as it finalized the budget for debate before the full legislature in the coming weeks.  The latest vote to sideline the request was 3-3, with Democratic Rep. Emily Sirota of Denver joining the two Republicans on the JBC last week to block the spending. (Tie votes on the JBC result in proposals being rejected.) READ THE FULL STORY AT T...

Jensen: Why conservative climate leadership is needed

By Sarah Jensen | Guest Columnist New findings from the University of Colorado Boulder’s Center for Environmental Futures suggest that by embracing a conservative approach to climate change, one that is pro-American and pro-innovation, the Republican Party can win over voters and ensure a cleaner, healthier future for all Americans. Specifically, the report found that the number of American voters concerned about climate change is becoming an increasing majority and that views on climate change were one of the strongest predictors of pro-Democratic voters in the 2020 general election, especially among Independents and younger generations. The authors discovered that voters who stated climate change was somewhat or very important represented 67% of voters in the 2020 election, 77%...

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice COLORADO SPRINGS -- The Colorado Libertarian Party will field candidates in seven of eight U.S. House races in the general election, Chairwoman Hannah Goodman announced here Saturday during the party's state convention.

Pharmaceutical company Amgen sues Colorado over price-setting prescription drug board

By John Ingold | The Colorado Sun Amgen, the multinational pharmaceutical company that makes the blockbuster arthritis drug Enbrel, has sued Colorado over a state board’s efforts to possibly cap the price of the drug. In a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Denver, Amgen argues that the actions of Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board are unconstitutional because they conflict with federal laws and because they violate rights to due process. The company is seeking not just to overturn the board’s recent decisions about Enbrel but also to strike down major parts of the law creating the board. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

Everything you need to know about CD4’s special election to replace Ken Buck

Trump says he’ll post $175M in fraud case after new court order

By Catherine Yang | The Epoch Times The Appellate Division, First Judicial Department of the New York State Supreme Court has granted a stay of enforcement on the $464 million judgment on former President Donald Trump with conditions, allowing the Trump Organization to avert having assets imminently seized by the New York attorney general. The order came after defense attorneys argued a $464 million bond was impossible after having contracted four brokers to negotiate with more than 30 companies. Sureties don’t issue bonds that big for private individuals, and even if the Trump Organization was a public conglomerate they could issue such a bond to, it would require some $570 million in cash to cover additional premiums.
