Slovak Prime Minister Shot In The Head

Gov. Jared Polis has signed into law a bill designed to protect Colorado libraries and their employees from partisan book-banning battles On Friday, the governor signed SB24-216, a new law that requires the state’s public libraries to establish written policies for acquiring, retaining, displaying and using library resources — and governing how to handle any requests to remove books or other resources. Public libraries must follow standards specified in the bill, including that they can’t exclude books and other resources because of the ethnic background or gender identity of anyone associated with the material.

Thousands of Coloradans incarcerated in the state’s jail system will now be able to vote in person while in custody, under a new law that’s the first of its kind in the United States. The law, which Gov. Jared Polis signed Friday, requires Colorado’s county jails to provide at least six hours of in-person voting in the days before Election Day.

Lost and damaged wheelchairs are such a prevalent problem in U. S. air travel that federal officials have proposed new rules that could slap airlines with six-figure fines when mishaps occur. But an attempt to give Coloradans more power to seek compensation for problems they experience with their mobility devices at Denver International Airport faltered at the State Capitol as the recent legislative session wrapped up.

Tom Steyer is skeptical of human kindness—at least as a means to positive global change. As he describes in his new book, Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We’ll Win the Climate War, the billionaire climate activist argues that to address an issue as “complex” and “rife with self-interest” as the transition away from fossil fuels, the world can’t rely on companies and organizations to act out of sheer altruism.

History will judge harshly those who have become obsessed with feelings instead of facts.

Can someone explain to me why it’s too much to ask that the children be left alone?
