NOW: After an entire day delay and internal issues, Scott Bottoms and Victor Marx have qualified for gubernatorial primary at the Colorado GOP Convention.
Barb Kirkmeyer submitted signatures, but those have not yet been verified by the Secretary of State’s Office. #copolitics

TEGNA owned 9News when I left work on Friday to stay home with the kids this week.
I'll be returning on Monday to a Nexstar-owned station.
The FCC and DOJ approved Nexstar's acquisition of TEGNA today.
Nexstar also owns Fox31.
Should all restrooms be legally required to have baby diaper changing stations? Including men’s rooms?
I’m a political reporter and a Dada so this hits both my specialities.

NEW: Palantir, Colorado's most valuable publicly traded company, suddenly departed for Florida today. The Governor and Denver's Mayor say they were blindsided. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhkU...
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons testified to Congress that state or local law enforcement leaked the 2025 ICE operation in Aurora. ICE social media posts amplified the claims, then deleted them after we asked questions.
Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents to CNN:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry…
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs.”
This newscast blew, @kylec.bsky.social
Leaf blowers are loud. In a news studio. With paper scripts.
NEW: Aurora City Councilmember Rob Andrews had a blood alcohol level of .252, 3X the DUI limit when he was arrested Saturday night, according to a police report obtained by 9NEWS' @marshallglasses.bsky.social. Andrews was elected in Nov as part of a progressive sweep of council races.
I stand corrected. Not all Colorado Republicans voice full fledged support of action in Venezuela.
Congressman Jeff Hurd praises the actions and sounds cautious of the next steps, with the need to involve Congress. #copolitics
Statement from Colorado Republican Gabe Evans begins with a swipe at President Biden.
Says US will not tolerate regimes that poison our people.
Some of the Dem statements reference Trump’s pardon of Honduras President despite a 45-year drug trafficking sentence. #copolitics
Perhaps the strongest statement so far from Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet (D). His thread highlights previous Congressional opposition to military action in Venezuela, Trump administration hypocrisy and using military force as a guise for oil. #copolitics
Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper is the first Dem to not even opine on Maduro as a presidential figure. Says the Venezuela operation is a distraction from what’s going on in the U.S. #copolitics
The consensus from Colorado Dems is that Maduro is bad and the action in Venezuela overnight is also bad.
This is from Rep. Brittany Pettersen, and repeated by all Colorado Ds so far. #copolitics

In a response to President Trump’s news conference, Colorado’s highest ranking Congressman Joe Neguse (D) responds like all Dems so far: Maduro bad, military action without Congressional approval also bad.

First GOP statement from Rep. Jeff Crank on Venezuela. Expect a heavy dose of full fledged support from Colorado Republicans in Congress. #copolitics
Statements from Colorado delegation coming in regarding military action and capture of Venezuela’s president. Both Rep. Diana DeGette (D) and Rep. Jason Crow (D) start their comments with how bad Maduro is, then say Congress has been lied to. #copolitics
President Trump announced Space Command is moving, said to be dismantling NCAR, canceled federal grants and this week vetoed a unanimous bill in Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s district dealing with access to clean water.
President Trump continues his attack on Colorado for Tina Peters being in prison. The former Republican clerk was convicted in a Republican county in a case by a Republican DA for a scheme allowing unauthorized access to voting equipment to search for election rigging.
“May they rot in hell.”
A memorial service for State Senator Faith Winter, a Democrat from Broomfield, was held on the Capitol steps Friday. Winter was remembered as a fierce advocate for women and her family. Winter was killed in a crash on I-25 last week. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports.
And here is a statement from the family of State Sen. Faith Winter on her death this evening. #copolitics
Statement from @GovofCO on the death of State Sen. Faith Winter. #copolitics
Here is a statement from the Senate Democrats. #copolitics
I’ve confirmed with 3 sources that the person killed in a multi-car crash in Centennial is State Sen. Faith Winter.
She led transportation efforts in the legislature for almost her entire time in the House/Senate since 2015.
She has two kids.
She’s one day younger than me. #copolitics
Trash pandas may feast in Denver because of an unusual change in trash/recycle/compost next week due to Thanksgiving holiday AND Black Friday city worker furlough day.
Trash comes early one day for residents (except Monday customers are still Monday).

Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky is currently losing in a Vote for 2 at-large race.
As of 8:35p, she is 3rd, 1,300 votes behind 2nd. #copolitics
All Denver Bond Issues look safe. The initial results at 7p. show 60/40 or better in favor of all 5 bond issues.
Those results are likely ballots turned in through Sunday or so. #copolitics
Partly cloudy with a 100% chance of Democracy.
I’m sorry, are you doing weather for San Diego now?
