Opinion | “I didn’t grow up in Colorado, but I play college softball here now, and I know what it feels like to be pushed aside and told to stay silent in a fight for fairness.” — Kendall Kotzmacher denverpost.com/2026/10/30/pr…

Donald Trump asked voters to act as if he's on the ballot for the midterms, and voters are obliging him.

One other layer to this evil onion Vivek and his minions conjured up is they drug this wicked woman out of the car she was living in, shot their ad, then put her right back.

J.K. Rowling has become an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, including the right of women and girls to fair competition in sports and protection of female-only spaces.
Despite intense public criticism from a loud minority, Rowling has refused to back down from speaking about biological reality and the harm caused by denying it, particularly to women and vulnerable young girls.
Women and girls deserve advocates who will stand up for them, regardless of the backlash.

Alaska's high-profile Senate campaign was rocked by allegations that Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign was involved in recruiting another candidate with the same name as incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan. Peltola denied the allegations. Alaska's Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy ordered an investigation. cbsn.ws/4eohFh5

Mass deportation isn't just. It isn’t a triumph of the rule of law. It’s a product of Trump’s own hatreds and bigotries.
After pledging to deport the “worst of the worst,” he has decided to pursue otherwise law-abiding residents for deportation, even residents with American families. He has decided to detain people who are eligible for bonds. Again, that is not what the law requires. It is what Trump demands. nytimes.com/2026/10/29/opini…

In the 27 states with laws protecting girls' sports, there are no "genital checks."
But the @washingtonpost doesn't let the truth get in the way of the fear mongering story they want to tell.
They also neglect to mention in this article that in Colorado left wing groups including the ACLU and Planned Parenthood have spent $4.5M to defeat prop 134 (which would protect girls sports.) Why?
Five states have initiatives on the ballot to outlaw trans athletes in girls’ sports and gender transition treatment for children.
Washington state could require genital exams for girls in school athletics. wapo.st/48nAxsN
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
I-638 allows verification through anatomy, genetics, or testosterone; it does not mandate genital exams. ballotpedia.org/Washington_Ini…

Breaking news: A grand jury rejected the DOJ’s attempt to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for the account she gave lawmakers of President Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to people familiar with the matter. wapo.st/4jFAkbz

An epoch failure of political courage, an abdication of leadership, and a shirking of constitutional duty that will and should define Mitch McConnell's legacy.
He spoke of the "long game" but sometimes the test that matters is today, and in the long run, there's no do over. – at Brookmont, MD
Former Rep. @Liz_Cheney (R-WY) says she believes President Trump would have been convicted if Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) decided to convict: "I think if he had voted to convict, we would have had enough Republicans who would have followed him that he would've been convicted."

WHAT THEY DIDN’T KNOW: They believed transitioning would bring relief. They trusted the adults & medical professionals guiding them. They thought they understood what they were choosing.
@SorenAldaco & @PrishaMosley share what they say they never understood as kids: the permanence of certain medical interventions & the physical consequences they would carry into adulthood.

Sorry, you can't get away with this propaganda masquerading as fact. The professional medical organization that represents the doctors performing these surgeries (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) has stated that gender surgeries should not be performed below the age of 19. Other professional organizations that oppose 135 don't represent physicians who have the experience or understand the substantial risks of gender altering surgeries. They are acting on ideology and not science. And as a physician who understands the nuances of legislative language, Prop 135's language is clear and won't impact cancer treatment, endometriosis or other conditions present at birth. This is a bold-faced lie to garner sympathy for the opposition.
