Anyone out there have a place where my friend can park her travel trailer for a few months? Preferably with utilities and a small structure she can put a pottery studio in. She has been through a lot recently, including the murder of her grandson two years ago (the trial has not happened yet).

I’m married to a five-alarm smoke show. And she’s ten times as smart. It’s a few days before our anniversary, but still!

This is the problem. This is how we got here. Change that this November. Vote and vote Democrat.

Sen. Schmitt should probably also check under Herky the Iowa mascot's head. You never know what lengths these people will go to when they are part of the Deep State! #CollegeGameday

Just wait until Sen. Schmitt gets inside and sees who is also attending the Hawkeyes game! #CollegeGameday

With #CollegeGameday in Iowa City, it looks like they have a special guest! Sen. Eric Schmitt wearing his "Hawks" jersey!

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment on data centers. Not a single mention of Trump or his recent statements supporting data centers. That’s journalistic malpractice. #FakeNews

This sentence is 90% right ... he just needs to look in the mirror to see who did the cajoling.

Trump and his sycophants are literally putting killers and drug kingpins on our street with their incompetence. For comparison, Pirro’s office is losing half of their cases.

So, AI apparently has trouble with simple math? So we are on the same page, 13 wins means the Rockies will have 63 total wins and CANNOT mathematically lose 100. The need to lose less than 24 games in the same stretch. Stupid AI.

The intellectual dishonesty astounds me. I do not understand how you can say this about someone who (1) says his opponents are possessed by evil demons, and (2) refuses to speak to some members of the media covering this race. coloradosun.com/2026/08/18/v...

I was digging through Victor Marx's campaign finance reports - I have a column coming out about it tomorrow - and found this expenditure. Apparently Marx is paying other men who killed folks? #copolitics

Got this from Victor Marx. Now he knows what happened on the day he was conceived? Here is the thing: by making up these lies and fantasies, Marx is harming actual survivors of abuse. It’s a twisted version of stolen valor. It infuriates me.

I feel this. I worked 18 hour days trying to help these folks do their jobs during COVID. And I still feel like I wasn’t doing near as much as them.

So, if the president posts a picture of “86 47” he saw, is that a threat to himself? Does Secret Service have to put him on suicide watch? Does the FBI put surveillance teams on him? Does the Dept of Injustice open a case? Asking for James Comey.

I like @rbreich.bsky.social a lot, but this type of analysis is a problem. If billionaires spend their own money, it is not covered by Citizens United. In fact, CU is what allows groups like Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club, and the SEIU to combat billionaires. Important to talk about this more.

I know we just re-upped on Poch, but hear me out. Looks like Italy really wants Pep. That means Antonio Conte is available. He is EXACTLY what the USMNT needs. He is excellent with athletic teams that need structure to win.

The @rockies.com may lose 100 haves a season, but Coors Field has never lost a sunset battle.

Since you asked for a pic, this is me and my other client - after he was freed - at the bus station to send him home.

Mario Nicolais @marionicolais.bsky.social · 30/04/2026
Actually, that picture - and MAGA face in general - made me think of the character played by Louis Gossett, Jr. in "Enemy Mine" - which, if you've seen the movie, is ironic on multiple levels.

The cruelty is a feature of the Trump enforcement policies.

I am literally teary. My client is going free after 18 months in detention. Sweetest kid who did nothing but escape torture in his home country only to be picked up by ICE. The system is slow, but not entirely broken.

Ironically @colorado.gov the folks most likely to not show up to work are the @rockies.com themselves. Another 100-loss season incoming!

“A new commandment I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, you must love another.” - John 13:34 For Maundy Thursday mass I am wearing this necklace made and given to me by a pro bono client in ICE detention. He has nothing, but wanted to thank me. ❤️❤️❤️

Is there also beer? PS - my column tomorrow may or not be pointing out that the Rockies also have an opening day this week and are getting shown up by the new kids on the block. Just one more loss, I guess…

This opening line from the new @rockies.com GM is so ironically funny. As I have said before - in a column just last year - Coors Field is the greatest away team advantage in all of sports. Not because of the altitude or the ballpark size. Because visiting fans regularly outnumber home fans.

This tracks. Also, congressional Republicans will now investigate the NY subway as the largest pedophile ring in history because they have found “zero” evidence of any powerful pedophiles in the millions of Epstein documents …

Best take I’ve seen so far on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime. Probably no coincidence that Shay is both a former football player (Colorado Player of the Year in high school) AND a current artist.

I took this video of a Lakewood, CO PD Officer HELPING protesting students to cross a busy street safely. This is what it means to “pretect and serve.”

Two weeks ago, I wrote this in my column. More violence and more deaths are not just unavoidable, but the aim of the Trump Administration. I am sorry the killing of Alex Pretti proved me right so quickly. I am disgusted to know he will not be the last. coloradosun.com/2026/01/11/n...
