(Washington D.C.) — The Senate pushed a bipartisan gun violence bill to the brink of passage Thursday as it voted to halt a Republican filibuster against the measure, clearing the way for Congress’ most far-reaching response in decades to the nation’s run of brutal mass shootings. After years of GOP procedural delays that derailed Democratic efforts to curb firearms, Democrats and some Republicans decided that congressional inaction was untenable after last month’s rampages in New York and Texas.

  • Ryan Feltner’s injury just spasms, gives up three homers in Rockies’ 5-2 loss to Pirates
    Denver Post, Friday - 06/14/2024 - 11:27 PM

    Ryan Feltner knew it the nanosecond that Jack Suwinski clobbered his hanging 2-2 curveball. He’d made a big mistake. The Rockies’ right-hander contorted on the mound in frustration while Suwinski watched his two-run homer soar 459 feet to right to stretch the Pirates’ lead to 4-1 in the seventh inning. Pittsburgh went on to win, 5-2, in front of a Friday night crowd of 31,717 at Coors Field. The Rockies have lost four straight in LoDo for the first time all season. “I thought all of my pitches were generally working,” Feltner said.

  • Colorado’s housing market moves closer to balance in May
    Denver Post, Friday - 06/14/2024 - 10:15 PM

    New home listings statewide increased nearly 24% in May compared to May 2023, creating a more balanced housing market, according to the latest market trends report from the Colorado Association of Realtors. “Over the past decade, Denver has averaged around 1.5 to 2 months of inventory, a moderate seller’s market,” said Denver-area realtor Cooper Thayer. In 2022, Denver experienced an extreme seller’s market with only two weeks of inventory. “Last month, for the first time since November 2012, there was 3.3 months of inventory in Denver, as over 1,700 new listings hit the market and only 1,013 sales closed,” Thayer said. “The current level of inventory is a strong indication that we are experiencing a balanced market for the first time in over a decade.” Buyers and sellers are better matched in negotiating power, Thayer said. “More than ever, sellers are providing concessions in transactions to assist with interest rate buydowns for buyers.
