The folks who run the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s social media accounts are hardly political firebrands. Recent posts on the department’s Twitter feed include one about air quality, another about food safety and a Valentine’s Day ode to the flu vaccine. But, as a debate over gun laws rages following the killings of 17 students and staff members at a Florida high school, CDPHE took to Twitter on Thursday to offer an alternative. “Since 1996, federal policy has banned federal funding for gun violence research,” the tweet read.

  • House Republicans Finally Think They’ve Found an Issue
    Political Wire, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 07:30 AM

    “After flailing around for months unable to unite on anything, House Republicans finally think they’ve found an issue they agree on — countering the scourge of antisemitism on college campuses nationwide,” Punchbowl News reports. “With 187 days until Election Day, a legislative cupboard that’s all but bare, a presidential impeachment inquiry that’s going nowhere and a speaker who has struggled to generate any discernible level of excitement, the anti-Jewish sentiment that’s spilled out at universities from coast to coast during Gaza war protests offers what Republicans believe is a compelling plot line during the closing months of the 118th Congress.”

    “Despite lagging some 30 points behind President Joe Biden in the latest polls, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. convened national media on Wednesday to make an audacious claim: It’s Biden who should drop out of the race to stop former President Donald Trump from reclaiming the White House,” Politico reports.

  • McConnell Wary Despite Favorable Map for GOP
    Political Wire, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 06:49 AM

    “Senate Republicans are six months away from their most favorable Election Day map in a decade, with pickup opportunities in at least a half-dozen states — including sapphire-blue Maryland,” Politico reports. “Mitch McConnell isn’t predicting a red wave ahead, though. There’s a reason for that.” “The minority leader is clearly wary of his party overextending itself despite the advantageous conditions after the twin debacles of 2020 and 2022, when former President Donald Trump’s embrace of flawed GOP nominees contributed to surprising Democratic wins.“

    “Donald Trump faces the prospect of additional sanctions in his hush money trial as he returns to court Thursday for another contempt hearing followed by testimony from a lawyer who represented two women who have said they had sexual encounters with the former president,” the AP reports. “Prosecutors are seeking $1,000 fines for each of four comments by Trump that they say violated a judge’s gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, jurors and others closely connected to the case.
