Another gray wolf that was brought to Colorado as part of the state’s reintroduction program has died, Colorado and federal officials said on Monday afternoon.

In a press release on Monday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said they received a mortality alert for a male wolf in northwest Colorado on May 31. The wolf had been brought to Colorado from Canada as part of the January 2025 reintroduction, CPW confirmed to Denver7. It is the fifth wolf from the original 15 released that month that has died.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s Education Department has declared June “Title IX Month” in recognition of the 53rd anniversary of the historic legislation’s passage, The Daily Wire has learned.

The department will spend June highlighting the Trump administration’s actions taken to protect female sports and spaces, as well as reversing the weaponization of Title IX that took place during the previous administration. The festivities offer a stark contrast to the Biden Education Department’s “Pride Month” celebrations, which focused on gender ideology, critical race theory, and DEI.

O’Donnell: One in 20 workers is a state employee—who’s footing the bill?

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, State, Top Stories / / , , , ,

Communism, socialism, Marxism, Maoism, post-Mao Chinese-ism, and fascism may wear different uniforms, but they all march to the same beat—state control. One-party rule, diminished freedoms, political prosecutions, judicial overreach, hostility to markets, and the slow suffocation of private enterprise under the weight of public bureaucracy.

Over the past decade, Colorado’s ruling class has embraced a philosophy that echoes these themes—what academics have dubbed “Radical Markets.” Promoted by groups like RadicalxChange, the idea is that centralized systems and enforced redistribution can solve economic inequality and displace what they see as the instability of free markets.

Garbo: Boulder wasn’t a clash, it was terrorism

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, National, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , ,

What happened in Boulder was an act of terrorism, plain and simple. The alleged actions of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, targeting Jews in what authorities have rightly identified as an ideologically motivated, antisemitic attack, must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It was not a “disturbance,” or a “clash,” or a “misunderstanding.” It was hate. And it was violent, deliberate, and evil.

This nation was founded on the principle that people of all faiths and backgrounds can worship, gather, and speak freely without fear. That principle was shattered in Boulder, and we cannot – must not – look away.

Herf: When ‘Free Palestine’ becomes a pretext for terrorism

The Free Press, Approved, National, State / / , , , , ,

On Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, a group of Jews was set on fire. They had gathered in the afternoon for a march to draw attention to Israel’s hostages, who have been held by Hamas terrorists for more than 600 days, when a man reportedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the group, seriously injuring several.

The alleged perpetrator is named Mohamad Soliman, and you can see him in videos from the scene shouting “End Zionists” and “Palestine free and for us.”

This incident, which the FBI has called a “targeted terror attack,” comes less than two weeks after the assassination of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum. Their alleged killer, Elias Rodriguez, yelled exactly what the perpetrator in Boulder yelled—“Free Palestine”—the slogan that echoed on campuses and in the streets, especially since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023.

These two events are of great historical significance.

DENVER — U.S. Representatives Gabe Evans and Lauren Boebert defended their support for President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax cut and spending bill on Thursday, as protesters attempted to drown them out during a press conference at the Colorado State Capitol.

As the Colorado Republicans touted the bill’s economic and public safety benefits, they were met with constant chants and signs from protesters who accused them of cutting vital programs like Medicaid.

CPW exterminates ‘Wolf 2405’ after four attacks in eight days killing livestock in Pitkin County

DENVER7, Approved, Local, State / / , , , ,

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials have killed a gray wolf that was believed to be involved in a series of attacks that killed two livestock calves and injured three more calves and one cow in Pitkin County.

The series of attacks meets the agency’s criteria for “chronic depredation” that it finalized in January: three or more depredation events caused by the same wolf or wolves within a 30-day period, with “clear and convincing evidence” of at least one of the attacks.

The COvid Chronicles May 16–23, 2020: Deaths dipped—but the definition got slippery

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

More than two months into government-mandated shutdowns, Coloradans had lost patience—and begun reclaiming their fearlessness. After surrendering jobs, shuttering schools, isolating loved ones, and forfeiting springtime rites of faith and family, many started asking the obvious: What was all this really for?

Yes, people had gotten sick. Yes, some had died—mostly the elderly and already ill. But the fear campaign pushed by Gov. Jared Polis, unelected bureaucrats, and a compliant media no longer matched what Coloradans saw with their own eyes.

The warm May sun only strengthened their resolve. As COVID numbers flatlined and trust in “death counts” crumbled, clear-eyed citizens began asking hard questions—and the answers were ugly. Behind the briefings and sanitized soundbites, the state was quietly reclassifying deaths, inflating the data, and overriding doctors who dared to dissent.

Chamber report flags 200K Colorado regulations as “excessive or duplicative”

Colorado Politics, Approved, State / / , , , , , ,

Colorado’s regulatory framework took the center stage during this year’s legislative session, where lawmakers clashed over proposed measures that — depending on who is asked — either benefit workers or create new burdens on businesses.

Behind these two competing frameworks are the Colorado Chamber of Commerce and the Colorado Fiscal Institute.

On the one hand, the chamber and its allies argue that regulations have increased significantly over the past decade, putting up unnecessary barriers for businesses. On the other hand, the Colorado Fiscal Institute and its supporters maintain that the rules are essential to protect workers and consumers from harmful practices.
