FEMA cuts $32 million from Denver’s immigrant shelter grants under Trump directive

The Trump administration has terminated roughly $32 million in grant funding to Denver earmarked for the city’s response to the illegal immigration crisis, saying such spending no longer aligns with the federal government’s enforcement priorities. 

“The Department, consistent with President Trump’s direction, is focused on advancing the essential mission of enforcing immigration laws and securing the border,” the letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency said.

Colorado GOP lawmakers and sheriffs press AG Bondi to examine SB3 for 2A infringements

DENVER (KDVR) — U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was sent a formal letter on Monday urging a Department of Justice investigation into the state of Colorado’s gun laws, specifically citing a newly signed law that Second Amendment advocates have called an infringement on their rights.

The letter was sent by the Colorado State Shooting Association, which is the official state association of the National Rifle Association. The groups announced immediately after Gov. Jared Polis signed the bill into law that they would be filing a lawsuit against the measure.

Tristan: Trump’s first 100 days prove America’s home improvement is not about reality show illusions

There are many home improvement reality shows on television today. Every episode, following completion of the project, culminates in the highly anticipated “reveal.” 

Eyes will light up, and tears are shed as homeowners overcome with joy, marvel at the new cabinetry that beautifully adorns the kitchen, an ultra-modern range that now offers a double oven, a smart refrigerator that automatically adds dairy products to the grocery list, and the old laminate countertops that were stained and riddled with chips and knife marks, have been replaced with breathtaking pristine granite. 

The homeowners beam with pride and are thrilled with the anticipation of cooking in this new culinary paradise.

In an immensely larger way, as we consider the actions of the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term, I suggest that a home improvement project is currently underway here in America, which I dub as “The United States of America Renovation Project.”

Amuse: Susan Rice and the buried sabotage inside the federal bureaucracy

I will admit, when I first read that Susan Rice was still ensconced on the Defense Policy Board well into the new Trump administration, I thought it must surely be fake news, some hallucination conjured by an overactive internet rumor mill. Yet, with the bitter taste of disbelief still fresh, the facts became clear.

Not only had she lingered, she had lingered officially, and with all the institutional imprimatur the position carries. It is the sort of stunning oversight that shakes one’s faith in the assumption that elections carry consequences.

Cole: I support the SAVE Act—but we need to fix the documentation trap

Living in Colorado for nearly four years, I’ve grown to love its sweeping landscapes and spirited community. But the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by the House in 2024 and under Senate review in 2025, alongside the REAL ID Act’s looming May 7, 2025, deadline, has exposed a personal struggle that highlights a broader issue. 

The SAVE Act demands photo ID and proof of U.S. citizenship—like a REAL ID, passport, or birth certificate—to vote in federal elections.
