Comment on House GOP Needs Democrats to Prevent Shutdown

The Denver City Council took a definitive step on Monday toward making the construction of the East Colfax Avenue bus rapid transit project a reality — one that will completely reshape Denver’s best-known east-west arterial street. The project will stretch from Denver’s Union Station east to the Regional Transportation District’s rail station near Colfax and Interstate 225 relying on a network of high-frequency, quick-loading buses to increase mass transit reliability along the busy corridor.

PARK COUNTY — Polluted water leaking from thousands of abandoned mines in Colorado’s mountains is turning wetlands orange and dumping toxic dissolved metals in the headwaters of many of the state’s rivers. But people who want to fix the problem are hampered by the very federal laws meant to protect the environment. Organizations and local governments that want to fix the acidic drainage from a mine outside of Alma — and the hundreds of thousands of other abandoned mines across the West — are hopeful about new legislation under consideration in Congress.

“Kamala Harris is launching a targeted effort to court Republican voters in rural Pennsylvania,” Axios reports. “It’s a sign that the Harris campaign is not only aiming to surge Democratic turnout in vote dense Philly and Pittsburgh but also trying hard to blunt former President Trump’s margins in swing or red counties across the commonwealth.” “The Harris campaign is launching a 30-second ad on Tuesday featuring two two-time Trump voters who plan to vote for Harris.”

“Voters in six key swing states think former President Trump is more likely than Vice President Harris to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, respond effectively to a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan, and advance U. S. interests internationally, according to new polling from the Institute for Global Affairs,” Axios reports.

The choice between Trump and Harris is indeed stark, more so than possibly any other time in American history.

Donald Trump's lies are so egregious that MAGA GOP surrogates going on TV have come up with a blanket denial of his antics by saying they were "taken out of context," no matter what he says. We watched the debate live. He said what he said. This is just pathetic excuse-making.
