Montana governor urges gunmakers to ditch Colorado after new weapons ban

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News FIRST ON FOX: GOP Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte is launching a video campaign to remind gun manufacturers in Colorado that if they move just a few hundred miles to the north, they can be free of one of the nation's most restrictive gun control bills signed into law earlier this month in their state. "Do you want to move back to America?" Gianforte is asking Colorado gunmakers, after Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed S.B. 25-003 into law earlier this month. The new law, which is slated to go into effect in August 2026, effectively bans the manufacture, sale or purchase of semi-automatic firearms that accept detachable magazines, which include most AR-15s and AK-47 rifles sold in the United States. Some tactical shotguns and a few select handguns wi...

Colorado joins multistate lawsuit challenging Trump administration tariffs

By Marissa Ventrelli | Denver Gazette Colorado has joined a multistate lawsuit against the Trump administration for imposing tariffs on about 90 different countries, Attorney General Phil Weiser and Gov. Jared Polis announced Wednesday. Weiser and Polis said the tariffs are "destroying our economy, increasing costs on Americans, plunging markets, and putting America on the track to a recession." The president has argued that the tariffs would reverse decades of what he called unfair treatment in the form of a trade deficit by the rest of the world. His trade policy, he said, would result in factories and jobs moving back to the United States. The states on the suit included Oregon, Arizona, Illinois, and New York. "Coloradans are already starting to feel the effects of the T...

Trump Admin asks Supreme Court to let it enforce transgender military ban

By Katelynn Richardson | Daily Caller The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to let it enforce a ban on transgender individuals in the military. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to pause a lower court ruling on Friday that blocked the ban from taking effect. “In this case, the district court issued a universal injunction usurping the Executive Branch’s authority to determine who may serve in the Nation’s armed forces—despite this Court previously staying injunctions against a materially indistinguishable policy,” the administration’s application states.

Garbo: How Democrats weaponized–and betrayed American citizens while defending criminal illegal immigrants

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Democrats have made their priorities unmistakably clear: American citizens come last. The people they swore to represent – the very citizens who pay their salaries and trust them to uphold the Constitution – are now treated as political enemies, stripped of basic rights, and left to rot in the name of partisan gain.  Meanwhile, violent foreign nationals, like MS-13 gang members, are given more care, sympathy, and legal protection than the American people ever receive.  This isn’t just hypocrisy. This is betrayal. Look at how January 6th defendants – the “J6ers” – have been treated. Many of these individuals are nonviolent, first-time offenders who exercised poor judgment on one day. They are American citizens, en...

Stocks attempt third day of gains, Trump eyes softer tariff tone

By FOX Business Team , Christina Shaw, Bradford Betz and Stephen Sorace | Fox Business Stocks are higher on Thursday, extending gains from the prior two sessions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up more than 300 points, or 0.8%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.5% and 2%, respectively. The major indexes opened mixed on Thursday after China said there are no ongoing talks with the U.S. on tariffs. Ministry of Commerce spokesman He Yadong said on Thursday that "Any claims about the progress of China-U.S. trade negotiations are groundless as trying to catch the wind and have no factual basis," according to The Associated Press.

DOT Sec. Duffy warns blue states: comply with Trump orders or lose transportation funding

By Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart Department of Transportation (DOT) Sec. Sean Duffy has threatened to withhold funding from states that refuse to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders, warning them that utilizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices and resisting compliance with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could result in “enforcement actions being taken by DOT.” Duffy, a former Wisconsin congressman who was selected by Trump in November to run the department, addressed a letter to all DOT grant recipients on Wednesday to remind them that they must comply with federal law to receive taxpayer dollars for transportation projects, Breitbart News learned. The secretary’s office told Breitbart News that failure to fall in line with the ...

Colorado law limits what voters can verify—and critics say that needs to change

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Mesa County’s Ballot Verifier tool has been praised for giving residents unprecedented access to redacted ballot images and cast vote records. But for some longtime election integrity advocates, it’s only part of the solution. “This is a great step forward,” said Ed Arnos, a Mesa County resident and former lottery systems designer. “But it doesn’t verify the most important part—how the ballots were actually read.” This article is Part 3 of a three-part series on the Ballot Verifier: Mesa’s launch, Ada County’s pilot and the debate over election transparency laws. A philosophical divide Mesa County residents Tom Keenan and Ed Arnos have supported election transparency efforts for years. But both say the current syste...

From critics to champions: How a ballot transparency tool won over Idaho voters—and inspired Mesa County

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice When Ada County launched a ballot audit tool built by a small independent company, no one knew what to expect. But what followed surprised even the clerk who helped shape it.  Election skeptics became supporters, recount demands dropped and voters started tracking their own ballots—sometimes using nothing more than a $2 bill. What began as a simple idea sketched on napkins between an Idaho election official and a civic-minded data entrepreneur would grow into a public-facing ballot verification platform now used by counties in multiple states, including Mesa County, Colorado. This article is Part 2 of a three-part series on the Ballot Verifier: Mesa’s launch, Ada County’s pilot and the debate over election transpa...

Rubio overhauling ‘bloated’ State Department in sweeping reform

By Michael Dorgan  | Fox News The Trump administration has announced it is overhauling the State Department and shuttering more than 130 offices around the world in order to streamline operations and align the department more closely with the administration's foreign policy objectives. The move was announced on Tuesday by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said region-specific functions will be consolidated to increase functionality and redundant offices will be shut down. Programs that are misaligned with America’s core national interests will be shuttered too, he said. Rubio said the State Department had become bloated, bureaucratic and unable to perform its essential diplomatic mission in a new era of great power competition.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX ...
