What a wonderful song this is. Out-of-nowhere pop futurism. The beat is almost like Timbaland before Timbaland. Apparently it took them a year to make it because there was no roadmap for this

Immigrants detained in Colorado by ICE’s ‘deportation machine’ reach for once-rare legal lever In his first 19 years as a lawyer, Denver immigration attorney Hans Meyer said he’d filed six habeas cases. In the past six months, his firm filed 60.

Colorado has seen an explosion of habeas cases: In the first 100 days of 2026, more than 370 detained immigrants have asked judges to grant bail hearings or release them — up from 104 in 2025 and just 12 in 2024 // Story by @sethklamann.bsky.social and @lizzy-hernandez.bsky.social

Broncos owners buy 40% ownership stake in the Colorado Rockies The Penner Sports Group, which owns a controlling interest in the Denver Broncos, has joined the Rockies ownership group in a move that will have a major impact on Colorado’s Major League Baseball franchise.

Well folks, it’s happening. The 661-page budget bill is being read aloud, line by line, by a computer program named Eric. Assuming the motion isn’t pulled, this will go on for ~15 hours, and Rep. Bradley (who moved for the bill to be read) can’t leave the chamber except for brief bathroom breaks.

Colorado Front Range Passenger Rail gets track deal needed to launch starter train service Backers of a Front Range Passenger Rail believe they have reached a deal that gives the trains access to tracks from Denver to Fort Collins. For plans to move forward, the state and RTD must agree to pay for the starter service.

RTD would pay $156 million, plus annual operating expenses of $10 million to $12 million, under a deal that would allow Front Range Passenger Rail “starter service” — linking Denver, Boulder, Longmont, Loveland and Fort Collins — to begin by January 2029, state officials announced today

DOJ Wants to Scrap Watergate-Era Rule That Makes Presidential Records Public Eliminating the Presidential Records Act would allow private actors to hold the keys to American history, forever.

By declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional, the Justice Department is effectively claiming that the presidency has private ownership over the American story.

It doesn't.

@laurenleharper.bsky.social latest for @theintercept.com on why the DOJ's history killer memo can't stand:

A big police transparency ruling: Colorado’s Law Enforcement Integrity Act does not permit agencies to charge fees as a condition of releasing body-worn camera footage depicting possible misconduct by police officers, the CO Court of Appeals decided.

Then she changed her name, moved states, and got back in the journalism game.

Journalism ethics experts tell @samtabachnik.bsky.social they'd never heard of a reporter getting caught fabricating quotes or inventing sources, then just changing their name in order to keep practicing the trade elsewhere. “It’s safe to say this is historically unprecedented in the modern era.”

Per new legal filings, Polis’ office suggests they want to comply with this latest ICE subpoena — but the state labor department has told ICE to come back with a grand jury subpoena. Amid the confusion, a Denver just overseeing a prior lawsuit against Polis wants everybody in court later this month.
