Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

COMMENTARY: Colorado's latest election error doesn't appear to be the fault of SOS Jena Griswold, which is a refreshing change. But it doesn't inspire confidence in the Front Range Passenger Rail project. And it further hurts voters' trust in our elections.
