Self-defense on hold: House GOP announces letter to AG Bondi at capitol press conference

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice A young woman in her twenties stood outside Rep. Scott Bottoms’ church recently and asked him for help—she needed a firearm. Not for sport. Not to make a point. For protection. “She was worried, she was frightened… She had no way to protect herself,” Bottoms said during a House Republican press conference Wednesday. “She has to wait three days. She can't even get her own firearm to protect herself.” That delay, he argued, could be the difference between safety and tragedy. It’s the kind of real-life scenario House Republicans say they had in mind when they gathered on the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol the morning of April 16 to speak out against SB25-003.  At the press conference, lawmakers said they...

Judge orders Trump EPA to release $20 billion in funding for green groups

By Maydeen Merino | Washington Examiner A federal judge ordered the Trump Environmental Protection Agency to release $20 billion in climate grants that it has withheld, a major blow to the administration’s efforts to stop what it has called the improper awarding of money to nonprofit green groups. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., issued a preliminary injunction late Tuesday preventing the EPA from “unlawfully suspending or terminating” billions of dollars in climate money from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which the Trump administration has said distributed the funds without proper oversight.

Federal Judge James Boasberg finds probable cause to hold Trump in contempt over deportation flights

By Breanne Deppisch , David Spunt | Fox News A federal judge said Wednesday that he has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for failing to return two planes deporting migrants to El Salvador last month, a major update that comes as tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary have reached a fever pitch. In the 48-page opinion, Judge Boasberg said the court had ultimately determined that the Trump administration’s actions on the March 15 deportation flights, which took place after he issued a bench ruling ordering their immediate return to U.S. soil, demonstrate a "willful disregard" for the court that is sufficient for the government to be found in criminal contempt." Should they fail to answer his questions by April 23, he sa...

Tristan: Politics came between me and my daughter – love and faith brought us back

By George Tristan | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A fundamental hallmark of the saga of human history, has been and continues to be, invention. Take communications for example. Less than 200 years ago, we relied on the Pony Express to send and receive communications over long distances. Then, on May 24, 1844, Samuel Morse sent the famous message "What hath God wrought" from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland – marking the first long-distance telegraph transmission in the United States.  Advance the hourglass of time forward 180 years to 2024, to the first human trials of Neuralink’s brain computer devices, which will enable people with medical conditions such as paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or neurological disorders, to connect with devices using only their tho...

In first 100 days, Evans introduces six bills focused on fraud, safety and immigration

RMV Staff | RMV NE CO Newsroom, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado’s 8th Congressional District—a nationally watched swing district—just saw its freshman Congressman, Gabe Evans, cross the 100-day threshold in office. The milestone highlights a flurry of legislative action, bipartisan wins, and scrutiny over constituent accessibility. Evans, a Republican and former law enforcement officer and Army veteran, has moved quickly since being sworn in. “By contrast, it took my predecessor up until August before she had six bills,” Evans told FOX31. “So we are doing the work and delivering the work for constituents. I look forward to continuing to engage with them, hear their problems, and do what we can to solve them.” Six bills, five bipartisan, three out of committee Denver7 reported tha...

Another chips giant commits to manufacturing in US

By Thomas English | Daily Caller Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will begin chip production at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) facility in Arizona, marking the first time the company’s processors will be made on U.S. soil. The announcement, delivered Tuesday by CEO Lisa Su in Taipei, signals a sharp pivot in AMD’s manufacturing strategy as the Trump administration ramps up scrutiny of foreign-made semiconductors. With Washington eying tariffs on chip imports over national security concerns, AMD joins a growing list of tech giants racing to localize operations amid mounting trade risks. “TSMC has been a key partner for many years and our deep collaboration with their R&D and manufacturing teams has enabled AMD to consistently deliver leadership products that pu...

Rare Earth minerals affected by China export ban used in EVs, green energy, and military tech

By John Hayward | Breitbart China has restricted the export of several crucial rare earth minerals to the United States in response to President Donald Trump’s tariff increases. The restrictions come up short of a total ban, but they will probably slow the delivery of minerals needed by defense, energy, and electronics companies. The term “rare earth minerals” is sometimes used broadly to refer to all valuable or unusual minerals, but in fact it refers to a specific list of 17 metallic elements. Fifteen of them are lanthanides, meaning they occupy a specific region of the periodic table of the elements that begins with lanthanum (atomic number 57). The lanthanides all share similar atomic structure and chemical behavior, so the grouping is not arbitrary. READ THE FULL STORY AT...

China halts Boeing jet orders

By Pilar Arias  | Fox Business Chinese airlines have been ordered not to take any further deliveries of Boeing aircraft in response to the U.S. imposing 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, Bloomberg News reports.  Just before 7 a.m. EST, Boeing's pre-market share stock price was down 3.72%.   The aerospace company calls itself a "top U.S. exporter" that serves "customers in more than 150 countries." Boeing's year-to-date deliveries show that 18 aircraft have been delivered to nine airlines in China. The country's top three airlines – Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines – have plans to take delivery of 45, 53 and 81 Boeing planes, respectively, between 2025-2027, Reuters reports.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Judge blocks Trump from revoking legal status for 530,000+ migrants who flew into US via Biden program

By Louis Casiano , Bill Melugin | Fox News A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of the more than 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who flew into the United States during former President Joe Biden's time in office.  The migrants came to the U.S. under Biden's controversial CHNV mass humanitarian parole program. In her order, Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote that each migrant needs to have an individualized, case-by-case review. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS
