Denver's airport has almost-normal security wait times and no ICE. Apparently it's because of new streamlined equipment installed recently for security. Why aren't all airports using this? denverite.com/2026/03/24/d...

How are Denver TSA wait times? Is ICE at the airport? Here's what we know
Recent security upgrades at the Denver airport may be helping with lines, and there's no sign of immigration agents.

I used to be very loyal to Starbucks, but backed away when they started their very high-profile union busting. Now it seems they're struggling to figure out how to get customers back. Duh! Stop the union-busting and I'll be your most loyal customer again! www.denverpost.com/2025/11/23/s...

How Starbucks tried to quash union activity in Colorado
The coffee giant shuttered a store in Colorado Springs in 2022 shortly after its workers voted to unionize. A federal agency later ordered Starbucks to reopen that store, along with 22 others.
