Journalists aren’t allowed inside ICE detention centers. So ours went undercover.

Inside Aurora’s GEO facility, they found hunger, neglect, and a system built to dehumanize those it holds.

In a Letter to the Editor, Alejandra Beatty warns that Boulder’s “progressive” image doesn’t match its choices. Low turnout, moderate wins, and a move to cut minimum-wage increases show how profit-over-people politics are taking hold here at home.

Our lawsuit against the City of Boulder isn’t for money; there’s no payout if we win. But the people of Colorado will benefit, because a win would set a statewide precedent for transparency and the public’s right to know.

Trump pardoned a drug dealer with ties to the Kushner family, and today that man was sent back to federal prison for threatening to kill a woman, groping his family's nanny, and several other crimes.

Well there you have it. Dem's caved.
"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes Jonathan Chait. Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:
Senate Democrats Just Made a Huge Mistake
The shutdown was hurting Trump. Ending it helps him.

At a Boulder bar, a retired banker told me people don’t have human rights — only privileges the government allows.

Is that true of humankind? Or do we believe in a social contract that values all life?

One thing that often gets lost in these Oval Office press conferences (even when someone doesn't just literally collapse) is how often they consist of Trump mumbling into a binder.

Dark money just hit Broomfield.

An IEC called Silent Majority Speaks poured nearly $40,000 into this year’s city election—almost ten times what most candidates spent.

Where did the money come from? No one can say for sure.
