Cartoonist Gary Varvel: Republican Health Care Shock

Some of Colorado’s collared wolves have moved south of Interstate 70 for the first time since their reintroduction to the state in December 2023, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. While the eight collared wolves roaming across Colorado largely stayed in the north-central mountains and plains during October, at least some of the wolves have expanded their territory south of I-70, according to a new tracking map released Sunday. The wolves’ new territory includes most of Lake County north of Colorado 82, according to the map. “This kind of wildlife activity was anticipated,” wildlife officials said in the map release.

NEW YORK — Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in the final days before the presidential election, playing herself as the mirror-image double of Maya Rudolph’s version of her in the show’s cold open. The first lines the candidate spoke as she sat across from Rudolph, their outfits identical, were drowned out by cheers from the audience. “It is nice to see you Kamala,” Harris told Rudolph with a broad grin she kept throughout the sketch.

GASTONIA, N. C. — Donald Trump says he will be the “protector” of women, whether they like it or not. He’s campaigned with men who use sexist and crude language. He’s expressed alarm at the idea that wives might vote differently from their husbands. And the former Republican president has suggested that Democrat Kamala Harris, who is trying to become the first woman to win the White House, would get “overwhelmed” and “melt down” facing male authoritarian leaders he considers tough. In the final days of his campaign, Trump has stuck to a gendered worldview that his critics consider dated and paternalistic, even as he acknowledges that some of that language has gotten him “into so much trouble” with a crucial group of voters. Trump and some of his most prominent allies have peddled outright sexism. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, at an event with the Republican presidential nominee, likened Trump to an angry father providing tough love to a “bad little girl” who, as Carlson put it, was “in need of a vigorous spanking.” Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point, which is playing a key role in the campaign’s get-out-the-vote operation, has said that any man who votes against Trump is “not a man.” Kirk also has said wives who covertly vote for Harris “undermine their husbands” — describing a man “who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provide to the family.” On Saturday night, Trump laughed along with a crude joke about Harris, nearly a week after a speaker at his Madison Square Garden rally suggested the vice president was like a prostitute controlled by “pimp handlers.” As Trump repeated his claim, made without evidence, that Harris lied about working at McDonalds in her youth, someone in the crowd yelled, “She worked on the corner.” Trump laughed, looked around and pointed toward a section of the crowd. “This place is amazing,” he said to cheers.

A man was killed and three others were injured in four separate shootings across Denver on Sunday morning, police said. The fatal shooting, which happened near the 1300 block of West Colfax Avenue in Denver’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, stemmed from an argument between two men, the Denver Police Department said in a 3:28 a.m.

Snow is headed for the Denver area again Monday and this time it could stick, according to the National Weather Service. “Get ready for a change to winter weather Sunday night into Monday,” NWS forecasters said. “It could be a tricky commute Monday morning in and around the Denver metro area.” Drivers should allow extra time for their commute and make sure they’re prepared to drive in the winter weather as travel conditions could turn from poor to hazardous, forecasters said. Downtown Denver could see between 1/2 inch and 4 inches of snow stack up Monday morning as rain turns to snow overnight, according to NWS forecasters. Forecasters said Arvada, Aurora, Centennial, and Lakewood are also forecast to see up to 4 inches of snow accumulation, and Parker and Highlands Ranch could see up to 6 inches of snowfall. Before rain starts in the metro area on Sunday, Denver will see mostly sunny skies and a high near 56 degrees.
