Colorado lawmakers are set to introduce a pair of bills in the next legislative session that would bar municipal courts from imposing more severe sentences than state courts for the same crimes, as well as limit city courts from criminalizing missed hearings.
The first bill, sponsored by Rep. Javier Mabrey, a Denver Democrat, seeks to address disparities in sentences between state courts and their lower-level municipal counterparts.
Legislative reforms in 2021 significantly reduced maximum penalties for a host of low-level, nonviolent crimes in Colorado’s state courts.
Greenland rebuked Trump's latest call to buy Greenland as the demented One continues to try to acquire countries and canals like they are golf courses.
Canada and the Panama canal are on his agenda.
Back in 2019, Trump desired to buy Greenland and asked his advisors if he could acquire the very large, very Island country.
Now that he is coming back, the dimwitted old man says he still wants his Greenland.
On Sunday Trump sent out a message on social media once again proclaiming the necessity to own Greenland.
"For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," Trump stated.
Greenland responded.
AP News:
Greenland, the world’s largest island, sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
Good luck with that. There is no "plan" and Republicans are incapable of governing, which we were reminded of once again during this latest fiasco with Musk and Trump stepping all over Johnson's negotiations. Here are the Trump sycophants on last Friday's Fox & Friends, opining over the chaos caused by Trump and Musk without admitting that that's exactly what they are, chaos agents with no interest whatsoever in actually governing.
JONES: You know, I, I find myself conflicted,, with this debate.
Balkinization - power politics in the new congress;
Crooked Timber - time to give up on white women?
emptywheel - the BezosPost struggles with the boundaries of press freedom;
God's Spies - of course there should be enhanced protection for CEOs;
The Smirking Chimp - the diplomatic clown car we chose.

During a speech on Sunday, Trump admitted the only reason he nominated Pete Hegseth to be the Secretary of Defense was because he constantly complained that convicted felons in the military were being treated unfairly.
We talk about right-wing grievance politics, but this is a wingnut grievance hire.
Pete's other qualification is that he talked to Trump a lot about the military.
Sounds like Pete was grooming Trump.
Traitor Trump also wants Pete in there because the Fox News host will do everything in his power to protect Donald from being held responsible got any immoral or criminal action he takes.
TRUMP: I have appointed Pete Hegsth to be our next Secretary of Defense.
He's going to be great.
