Comment on Trump Allies Admit Plans Would Cause Short Term Pain

A company planning to build a new data center in north Denver will no longer seek a $9 million tax break from the city after the proposed deal raised questions among City Council members about water and energy usage. CoreSite will still build the data center in the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood — but without striking the tax revenue return deal with the city, company spokeswoman Megan Ruszkowski confirmed in an email Wednesday.

Late into the campaign season for Colorado’s November 2024 election, a second issue committee has emerged opposing Proposition 127, a measure that seeks to ban the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats and lynx. The committee filed with Colorado’s Secretary of State on Oct. 5 under the name Western Heritage Conservation Alliance. It joins two other issue committees fighting over the measure: Cats Aren’t Trophies, a citizen group that petitioned to get Proposition 127 on the ballot, and Colorado’s Wildlife Deserve Better, which also opposes it.

“I have two rules,” Bernie Moreno, Ohio’s Republican candidate for US Senate, told a crowd at a Columbus-area event earlier this year. “Rule number one is you can videotape and tape record anything I say. What I say to you here is what I’ll say to the media, is what I say privately, is what I say to my own team… Rule number two,” he continued, “is please ask difficult questions.” Moreno, who rose to prominence as the owner of multiple luxury car dealerships, has made similar declarations at least half a dozen times on the 2024 campaign trail.

U. S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo has built a slight edge over Republican opponent Gabe Evans in Colorado’s tightest congressional contest less than a week before the Nov. 5 election, according to a poll released Wednesday. But her lead — less than 2 percentage points — remained well within the survey’s margin of error. The latest data from Emerson College Polling’s survey of 485 voters in the 8th Congressional District north of Denver shows 47.5% of voters backing the freshman Democrat and pediatrician, versus 45.8% favoring Evans, a state representative who’s an Army veteran and a former Arvada police officer.

Just a few years ago, Elon Musk seemed to be just another Silicon Valley billionaire with no true political compass. He once described himself as “half-Republican, half-Democrat” and often donated money to candidates from both parties. But all that seemed to change during the Covid-19 pandemic. Tha’ts when Musk started taking much more right-wing stances about lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and many other divisive political issues, often spreading misinformation in the process. Today, Musk has donated almost $120 million of his own money to get Donald Trump reelected.
