Colorado lawmakers’ latest suite of gun reform bills bolster the state’s position at the vanguard of the national firearm debate, advocates and critics say, while marking it as a proving ground for how step-by-step reforms can coexist within the West’s distinct regional identity. As Colorado has turned deeper shades of blue over the past five years, it’s simultaneously become a regional and national leader in reforming its gun laws, lawmakers and activists said.

  • Trump Border Czar Tom Homan: Put U.S. Kids Born To Migrants In Halfway Houses
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 12/30/2024 - 10:16 AM

    Power-drunk Trump Border Czar Tom Homan claimed he can legally detain undocumented worker's babies born in the U. S. by putting them in halfway houses. Are these babies drug addicts? See, halfway houses sounds better than detainment centers or prisons. Last Thursday, General Zod told NewsNation that the Trump administration is considering putting US-born children of migrants into halfway houses as a form of shelter instead of what it actually is, imprisonment. HOMAN: As far as U.

    Remi Bateman, a 9-year-old from Utah, is at that age where even minor differences make you a target at school. Hers is that she was born without a left arm, and kids were starting to bully her. She'd used prostheses in the past, but it wasn't really functional in the same way a robotic arm is.

  • 'Devastating': Fox News Host Unloads On Matt Gaetz For 'Statutory Rape'
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 12/30/2024 - 09:00 AM

    Fox News host Howard Kurtz kicked off his Sunday Media Buzz program by highlighting "statutory rape" allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), President-elect Donald Trump's failed nominee for attorney general. In his opening monologue, Kurtz argued a House Ethics Committee report vindicated Gaetz's Republican opponents. "The Ethics Report found substantial evidence that Gaetz committed statutory rape by sleeping with a 17-year-old," the Fox News host noted.

  • Did Merrick Garland End Our Democracy?
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 12/30/2024 - 08:00 AM

    Why did Merrick Garland not get he had to act like his hair was on fire after the first attempted coup since the Civil War? Put aside legal considerations for a sec. Why didn't he immediately appoint Jack Smith, hold weekly press conferences giving scared Americans--many of whom were eventually tricked by Trump--updates on what happened & what he was doing (no, he didn't have to share case specifics, but after Comey & Barr's breach of protocol & GOP lies, don't tell me he couldn't share generalities narratives & what we all saw on tv--reinforcing that MAGA were traitors & seditionists).
