It’s been more than 15 months since U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette and Mayor Michael Hancock announced plans to use $2 million in federal money to turn a northeast Denver hotel into housing a homeless shelter. Despite regular talks with Denver officials, the property owner said the city does not have the vacant hotel under contract and it still could become something other than a shelter if the city does not act. “I have had conversations with the city, but their process is a long one,” said Hugo Weinberger, co-founder of IH Holdings, the entity that owns the property. “If the city doesn’t buy it, I likely would look to reopen it as a hotel.

Kristi Noem’s Book Includes a Fake Story About Her Meeting Kim Jong Un
Mother Jones, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 04:35 PM
After it emerged recently that Gov. Kristi Noem recounts a graphic, disturbing story in her forthcoming book about killing her puppy with a gun, the Republican from South Dakota defended the violence as a “tough decision” she had to make. The dog, she wrote, had attacked some chickens. “I talk about it because what I’m tired of in this country is politicians who pretend to be something that they’re not,” Noem said on CBS’s Face the Nation today.
