The tiny town of Bow Mar is still trying to gate off access from outsiders. Now it’s hiring a $300/hour PR firm that deals in media relations and crisis communications. Bow Mar is also hiring outside lawyers to deal with neighboring Denver and Littleton. Both cities still say no to the gates.

Are democratic socialists coming for the Denver mayor's office next? Denver Mayor Mike Johnston thinks Melat Kiros' win Tuesday over 29-year incumbent Diana DeGette was about inaction in Washington, D.C., and Kiros' win does not concern him about his future in office.

14 hours after the AP called the race, 29-year incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette has conceded to Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros in CO-1. Noteworthy in the concession: "Frankly, this was not the way I would have wanted to end my career in politics" @nexton9news.bsky.social @kylec.bsky.social

Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros just upset 29-year incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette in the Colorado District 1 Democratic Primary. Kiros' critics say she is antisemitic. CO-1 includes Colorado's largest Jewish population. I asked Kiros for her message to fearful Jewish constituents:

Thousands of police departments use Flock license plate tracking cameras to solve crimes. Flock has assured the public that immigration agents don’t have direct access to the camera data. We found public records in Loveland, Colorado showing that’s not true. Flock now admits it gave CBP an account.
