CO Rep. Lauren Boebert amended her 2024 financial disclosure earlier this month. It now includes a personal loan of between $15,001-$50,000. This would have been around the time she was moving to #CO04 from #CO03. #copolitics

Until we meet again…
To be clear, the @nytimes.com is not boycotting this dinner in particular. It has banned participation since 2008. Dean Baquet's explanation: "It just feels like it sends the wrong signal to our readers and viewers, like we are all in it together and it is all a game. It feels uncomfortable.”
Are the @nytimes.com and @huffpost.com the only major media outlets refusing to prostrate themselves to Trump, and boycotting this White House Correspondents dinner abomination? There is no excuse for anyone to attend.

This is a great story and well worth reading!
![JUSTICE GABRIEL: Kind of a bigger picture, and again I understand the position Children’s Hospital is put in here. My concern would be, pick [a] rogue administration down the road. It would seem your argument is they could take any number of absurd positions on saying whatever care could be unsafe and that may be targeted at a particular identifiable group, and that identifiable group will always have no remedy because the government has all the cards and they control all the money.
I’m concerned with that precedent. How do we write if you were to win? How do you write that narrowly to avoid that? Because your argument is, ‘We’re just subject to the federal government and they’ve adopted a policy,’ which I’m not sure if Children’s necessarily agrees with. But you feel like you’re just beholden to the money and therefore they’re always gonna win because we’re subject to them. That concerns me. How do we deal with that?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:63qzp63fz5q45anhnxhoxhl5/bafkreigqyperyatign2ln7faivyhrrcqjympgucukbpucpyyave4vnifzy)

Colorado's Supreme Court just heard arguments on whether Children's Hospital Colo. should resume gender-affirming care to trans plaintiffs in the face of federal threats. Everyone sees the hospital is caught between Trump and the child patients. Justice Rich Gabriel summed up the existential problem

Somewhere between a roadside Red Lobster and a three-Michelin-starred dining room is the best free restaurant bread in the country. @caity.bsky.social surveyed more than 500 people and traveled more than 13,000 miles on a quest to track it down:
The White House Correspondents' Dinner later this month – with Trump as guest of honor – is shaping up as an embarrassing surrender to a criminal president who is trying to destroy the free press.
Cancel the damn dinner.

SPJ has renamed its national award for ethics in journalism in recognition of our departed friend Fred Brown, a veteran Colorado journalist, champion of high ethical standards for journalism, and a longtime state and national SPJ leader. Also, a celebration of Fred's life is planned for May 7.
He's expected to show up in Pueblo for the state GOP assembly, where he must be present in order to be nominated for governor. @coloradopolitics.bsky.social
Rep. Scott Bottoms, R-Colorado Springs, who accused the state House & Senate & governor's office of running human trafficking rings, is absent without permission for a 2nd straight day at the state House, which is casting votes on the legislature's most important responsibility: the state budget.
Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:
A rare & wonderful sight at Colorado House: former Gov. Roy Romer, the last governor to serve three terms and last rural governor of Colorado, is here. He looks very good for 97! He's here for a resolution dedicating a portion of I-25 in Denver County in his honor. @coloradopolitics.bsky.social
Per the rules, she is NOT allowed to leave the House except for bathroom breaks while the bill is being read, otherwise the reading would be ended. The reading started at around 6:35 p.m. Have a good night! @coloradopolitics
The person making the request, Rep. Brandi Bradley, R-Roxborough Park, asked for this yesterday because she was dissatisfied with how the House Ethics Committee handled her complaint against Rep. Ron Weinberg, R-Loveland.
At this hour: the Colorado House is, for the first time that I can remember in the 28 years I've covered the lege, reading the long bill (2026-27 budget) at length. It's 661 pages and the estimate is for about 15 hours.
Welp, we're really doing this. The budget bill (long bill) is being read at length. Estimated to take 15 hours.
By House rules, Rep. Brandi Bradley (who asked for the reading) has to remain in the chambers for the entire time, or her request is rescinded. #copolitics #coleg
