Drew Patterson in Buena Vista is showing what it means to believe in fair chance hiring — hiring those leaving prison after they paid their debt to society. As Gov, I’ll keep fighting to improve our system of re-entry and fair chance hiring, because it’s the smart thing–and the right thing–to do.

Standing up for consumers and taking on irresponsible companies who use deceptive and hidden fees remains a top priority. In this case, we took action against Greystar for doing just that. Please report frauds to StopFraudColorado.gov. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/02/c...

Netflix is planning to buy Warner Bros for $72 billion, allowing it to acquire its major competitor HBO Max.

This corporate monopoly will be great for Netflix’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Meta’s conduct is appalling: knowingly addicting young people, harming their mental health, & pretending there was no cause for concern.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

FIFA, soccer’s historically corrupt governing body, will name the winner of its first-ever “FIFA Peace Prize" today. Trump is widely expected to win, showing the moral vacuum of all concerned. A legitimate organization would move the World Cup out of the U.S. because of the abuse of immigrants.

As billions of fans around the world tune in to watch the World Cup draw on Friday, they’ll also have the opportunity to watch FIFA president Gianni Infantino present a new, somewhat puzzling, award.
