"There may be a book on the shelf that doesn't speak to you. You move on and find something else."

For Banned Books Week, I spoke with Denver's new city librarian. We discussed video games as literacy, DPL's hiring freeze, and a unionization effort:

Denver’s new chief librarian on free speech, the city’s budget crisis and how to make adolescence easier

"It comes down to choice ... we should provide opportunities and offerings for everyone."

Would he welcome troops to the largest city in his district — Pueblo?

Is the GOP at war with Americans it disagrees with?

Have federal employees been treated with dignity?

Some of my questions for Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-Grand Junction) who also discusses the shutdown and health insurance:

To be clear, he's aware of the history. He just doesn't like the device. More tomorrow here!

Just off w/Rep. Jeff Hurd

* He says no party should use a gov't shutdown for policy. "We risk never-ending shutdowns conditioned on policy requests."

* On Epstein files: "I want this information to get out. We need to find the right mechanism so we're not re-victimizing victims."

More Wednesday.

Get up to speed on tomorrow's Supreme Court hearing over Colorado's conversion therapy ban.

From Purplish:

Colorado banned conversion therapy for minors. A U.S. Supreme Court case could upend that | Colorado Public Radio

The case pits free speech against the authority of states to regulate medical practices.

When you’re a kid, the monsters can’t get you when you’re all tucked in. Funny how bed remains the safe place as an adult.

Locals in Alamosa suggested Lindo Jalisco and they were right. Lengua burrito, Christmas, was as delicious as it was massive.
