Comment on Trump’s Campaign Is Premised Around Violence

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is proposing a year of “belt-tightening” to make up for softening inflation and higher Medicaid costs. He presented his budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year on Friday afternoon. It doesn’t account for Tuesday’s elections, which include some potentially costly measures on the state ballot. The next legislature, which is also being elected Tuesday, will ultimately pass the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1. Polis, a Democrat in his final term, sought to cover a projected shortfall of about $640 million shortfall that was largely driven by high caseload costs for Medicaid patients.

If Donald Trump reclaims the White House, he will have one voting demographic to thank for it: men. That’s the fundamental theory of the Trump campaign. In the election’s final weeks, the former President and his political operation have sought to activate low-to-mid propensity male voters, particularly young ones, with surgical precision to sweep him back into power.

Denver election officials say the vote-counting process is likely to extend for days after Election Day because of high interest and a long city ballot. But voters can help the Denver Elections Division provide a clearer picture of election results on Tuesday night by turning in their ballots sooner, either over the weekend or on Monday. “Because so many ballots come in at the same time on Election Day, it could potentially cause a backlog,” Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Office spokeswoman Mikayla Ortega said Friday.

Jailbird Steve Bannon and Monica Crowley were very disturbed by reports that, according to early voting totals in Pennsylvania, women and senior citizen turnout is outpacing Trump supporters. Monica Crowley, a voracious Trump supporter who lost her job with the Trump administration due to various plagiarism allegations in 2017, was there to discuss it with the MAGA cult leader and ex-convict. CROWLEY: Steve, about what are we seeing in the early data from Pennsylvania?

Vice President Kamala Harris's 60 Minutes interview has gotten under Donald J. Trump's thin skin so much that he has filed a $10 billion against CBS. The disgraced former President is demanding a jury trial where the case is expected to land in front of a conservative judge that Trump appointed. The Independent reports: The lawsuit, filed in Texas, accuses CBS of “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to … confuse, deceive, and mislead the public” and “attempt to tip the scales” in favor of the Democratic nominee. His legal team filed the lawsuit in a federal court in Amarillo, where the case is expected to land in front of a judge he appointed.

By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON and AAMER MADHANI MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Kamala Harris said Friday it was “disqualifying” for Donald Trump to say former Rep. Liz Cheney, one of the former president’s most prominent Republican critics, should have rifles “shooting at her” to see how she feels about sending troops to fight. The Democratic vice president has campaigned extensively with Cheney, especially in the “blue wall” battleground states that make up her strongest path to victory on Tuesday, while Trump has been going after the former Wyoming congresswoman and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, over the Iraq war and U.
