Outside Eddie Braly’s window, empty fields roll northward from the edge of Adams County into Weld County, marking the spot where Denver’s northern suburbs seem to finally fade into farmland that’s dotted with grain elevators and oil pumpjacks. Braly, a 10-year resident of Thornton’s North Creek Farms subdivision, said he and his wife “bought the view on purpose,” but he’s under no illusion it’s going to stay this way. Nor will Colorado’s soon-to-be-formed 8th Congressional District, a mashup of fast-growing suburban neighborhoods that ooze into prime agricultural land and high-yield oil and gas territory between Greeley and Commerce City. “At some point, the cities will grow together in a Dallas-Fort Worth type of way,” said Braly, whose neighborhood likely will be swept into the new district. Via the Colorado Independent Redistricting CommissionThe third map of new proposed congressional boundaries was released on Sept.

  • Peter Meijer Ends Senate Bid in Michigan
    Political Wire, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 10:02 PM

    Former Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) is dropping his bid for Michigan’s open Senate seat, CNN reports. Said Meijer: “The hard reality is the fundamentals of the race have changed since we launched this campaign. After prayerful consideration, today I withdrew my name from the primary ballot. Without a strong pathway to victory, continuing this campaign only increases the likelihood of a divisive primary that would distract from the essential goal – conservative victories in November.”

  • My Week Inside Columbia’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment
    Mother Jones, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 08:07 PM

    In the early morning, one can hear the birds perched on trees around the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University. Farther off, there are sounds of protest and counterprotest. But inside the camp itself—technically the second camp after the New York Police Department cleared out the first and caused even more national attention to focus on this campus lawn—the resistance is often quieter if steady: a community formed to call for ceasefire, divestment, and the end to war. This is a village built overnight.

  • Ukrainians Taunt Frontline Russians By Blasting Star Spangled Banner
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 02:56 PM

    A Ukrainian soldier played the national anthem of the United States for the Russian soldiers somewhere on the frontline in eastern Ukraine. Unsurprisingly, the Russians did not care to be serenaded in this fashion and responded with their AK-47s and fired an RPG in the general direction of the offensive tune.

  • Things Get Weird When Charlie Kirk's Guest Gets A Little Fascist-y
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 02:53 PM

    Republicans sure have changed, huh? As if Talking Point USA's Charlie Kirk wasn't bad enough, he somehow decided to bring Curtis Yarvin, an anti-democratic blogger, on as his guest. What could go wrong? Well, I'm glad you asked that. OK, you didn't really ask that. I did. Yarvin wants to give Trump unchecked power in November. Trump's lawyer is currently arguing in the Supreme Court for presidential immunity, which is not even in the Constitution.
