Federal Judge Blocks Colorado Law Expanding State Oversight of ICE Facility

By Amanda Pampuro | Courthouse News Service Months before reports of tuberculosis infecting a detainee at an immigration detention center in Aurora, state lawmakers sought to expand the public health department’s ability to inspect the facility. DENVER (CN) — A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction Thursday blocking a Colorado law that sought to expand the state public health agency’s ability to inspect an immigrant detention facility in Aurora. “HB-1276 applies only to civilian detention centers, of which there is one,” Chief U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico wrote in the opinion. “Though Colorado argues that the law only brings GEO into compliance with existing state regulations applied to other detention facilities, that law singles out this o...

Who Funds the Experts? Pharma Ties Emerge in Vaccine Schedule Debate

By Ashe Short | Just the News The groups that most Americans treat as neutral medical authorities on what to put in their kids' bloodstreams — the AMA and the AAP — both draw millions in revenue from the companies that manufacture the vaccines they are promoting. Shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing the number of vaccines required for young children, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a press release claiming Trump’s order puts children’s health at risk. “Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases,” AMA President Willie Underwood, III, said in the statement. “Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by ri...

Colorado’s THC Experience Offers Congress a Warning on Intoxicating Hemp

By The Gazette Editorial Board | Commentary, The Gazette First, it was Colorado’s majority-Democrat legislature that weighed whether to open the floodgates to dangerous, intoxicating hemp-based products. It would have compounded the damage inflicted on our kids by legalized pot. Fortunately, the lawmakers behind that reckless attempt couldn’t muster enough votes as the 2026 legislative session wound down last spring. Now, a move is afoot in the Republican-controlled Congress to stall a much-needed federal crackdown on high-potency hemp that was enacted just last fall. At the behest of the Trump administration, a delay in implementing the crackdown was inserted into a stopgap government funding bill. The move has divided ruling Republicans, some of whom mounted an unsuccessful...

Senate Release Reveals Fauci Discussion of COVID Vaccine Risks for Pregnant Women

By Eric Mack | Fox News Fauci discussed the risks from COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women. Dr. Anthony Fauci privately discussed concerns about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for pregnant women in January 2021, including questions about fever after a second dose and a theoretical risk of miscarriage during the first trimester, according to newly released text messages obtained from his government-issued cell phone. The exchange involved Fauci, then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy, who would later become former President Joe Biden's surgeon general. Fauci said, because many people experience significant cytokine-related symptoms and fever after a second dose, that reaction "theoretically...

DHS Secretary Mullin Visits Colorado, Addresses Immigration Enforcement and Aurora TB Dispute

By Karen Morfitt | CBS Colorado A visit to Colorado this week by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin largely flew under the radar. Mullin visited Colorado's supermax prison, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center and Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in southern Colorado before holding a private meeting with Rep. Gabe Evans, a Republican who represents Colorado's 8th Congressional District, and Hispanic faith leaders. Mullin said on Friday he wanted to address what he called "false rumors" about immigration enforcement. "Being able to talk to faith leaders who can talk to their congregation about the actual facts instead of what they say online, I think they were very thankful," Mullin said. CBS Colorado caught up wit...

Senate panel votes to hold Fauci in contempt as investigators obtain COVID-era phone

By Jefferey Jaxen | Commentary, Jefferey Jaxen (Substack) *BREAKING: Fauci has been held in contempt of Congress by an 8-5 vote. Next steps for the fast-tracked rstates that the President of the Senate, Vice President JD Vance, "shall certify" the committee's referral and report directly to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia at the Department of Justice. Limited hangout: A public relations and media strategy where an organization or government admits to a portion of a damaging truth after a cover-up fails. By releasing controlled, selective facts, they satisfy public curiosity and prevent deeper investigation while keeping key secrets hidden. Today is the vote heard around the world. It’s unclear at this point if the Justice Department would act on that ref...

Fauci Diary Renews Questions About Colorado’s COVID Response

By: Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado We are finally getting a clearer picture of what happened during COVID. Not because the people who locked us up, masked our faces and forced unproven chemicals into our bodies have suddenly become transparent, but because Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era diary is coming into public view. This long document makes one thing painfully clear: the people who forced us to surrender our lives to their expertise did not have the expertise they claimed. At best, they were guessing. And when their guesses failed, they did not retreat. They didn’t come clean. They doubled down. Arrogance unbridled Our health, our freedoms, our bodies, our economy, our children’s education were all less important than their unchallenge...

Parasite Linked to Explosive Diarrhea Spreads Across Colorado Counties

By: Nicole C. Brambila | The Denver Gazette Cases of the “explosive” diarrhea-causing parasite cyclosporiasis nearly tripled in Colorado over the past month, prompting renewed attention after related deaths were reported in Michigan. Twenty-nine counties in Colorado have reported cases, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Colorado has had 241 cases of cyclosporiasis since January, state data shows. Of the completed investigations, only 45 of the cases were acquired domestically. The vast majority, or 74%, reported international travel. Several factors could account for the increased number of cases, including greater awareness because of outbreaks in other states. “The case count alone does not indicate that an outbreak ...

Clinton Era Tactics Still Shape Democrat Crisis Response

By: Chris Bray | Commentary, The Federalist Delay, delay, delay, then dismiss the scandal as old news. Clinton 101. Democrats always lie the same way, so pattern recognition becomes a kind of vaccine, except that it actually creates immunity. Once you know how they do it, they can never fool you again. Unless you’re also a Democrat, in which case you were born to be fooled, and you can just go back to sucking your thumb in a basement. Back in the political Pleistocene, a slippery American president who was known as “Slick Willie” slogged through scandal after scandal, often in the company of his amoral and tone-deaf grifter wife. Perpetually embroiled in controversy because of their own behavior, this shameless couple developed a set of reliable techniques for t...

The cost of asking Americans to simply “Trust us”

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Public confidence collapsed not because Americans asked too many questions, but because too many went unanswered. Science has never required blind faith. Quite the opposite. Science advances by asking difficult questions, testing uncomfortable hypotheses, challenging accepted wisdom, and enabling independent investigators to examine the evidence. Authority alone has never been enough. That is why every scientific paper includes a Materials and Methods section. The goal isn’t merely to announce conclusions. It is to provide enough information for others to reproduce the work, validate the findings, or identify errors. That’s how science earns trust. COVID changed that. Too often, Americans were simply tol...
