In a nearly 300-page report released on Thursday, Amnesty International concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide. “Month after month, Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its intent to physically destroy them,” Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International, said in a statement.

After contemplating a Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors Wednesday, the Supreme Court appears likely to greenlight the prohibition on the theory that nine humble justices are not the best arbiters of complex medical questions.

Castle Rock will support “any and all” immigration policies and deportation efforts from President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, including offering up the town’s police officers for assistance. During Tuesday’s meeting, the Castle Rock Town Council unanimously approved a motion from Councilmember Max Brooks to declare support for the Trump administration’s planned immigration policies, “including anything we can do with our law enforcement personnel to support the deportation of illegal migrants” at the president’s request. Brooks, who was elected to Colorado’s House of Representatives in November, promised to support state legislation permitting local law enforcement agencies to work with federal immigration officials and deportation efforts. A law signed into action in 2019 prohibits law enforcement from arresting or detaining someone solely based on a request from federal immigration officials, and bars probation officers from providing personal information about their clients to immigration authorities.

State Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis was stripped of legislative aides this week by chamber leaders following new allegations about her treatment and management of staff. Jaquez Lewis, a Longmont Democrat, had faced previous allegations of staff mistreatment. She was removed from a bill concerning wage theft protections during the regular legislative session earlier this year after facing allegations that she attempted to withhold pay from a staffer. She had also faced a reprimand after other staff members and lawmakers “witnessed behavior they found concerning” in her treatment of aides. In a letter sent Tuesday, outgoing Senate President Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat, said concerns about Jaquez Lewis’ treatment of staff is “now clearly a recurring issue that we have tried to address with you.” President-elect James Coleman and Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez, both Denver Democrats returning for the next legislative session in January, co-signed the letter. “For this reason, in good conscience we cannot support placing an aide in your office while this behavior and complaints continue,” Fenberg wrote.

Yes, you read that right—the new data suggests everything is moot unless we can sequester carbon for a thousand years.

That’s because the left’s concept of “our democracy” is single party control of a compliant society.
