Child care aid could run out by Jan. 31 due to Trump funding freeze, Colorado officials say
Colorado officials say money that helps 18,000 low-income families pay for child care could run out by Jan. 31 if federal officials don’t lift the freeze they’ve imposed on funding for several safety net programs in five Democrat-led states.
If that happens, some children could go without care and some parents would have to stay home from work. State lawmakers could cover such a funding gap temporarily, though Colorado is facing a significant budget crunch.
The Trump administration announced the freeze on $10 billion in child care and social services funding for Colorado, California, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York in a press release Monday.

Child care aid could run out by Jan. 31 due to Trump funding freeze, Colorado officials say
After the Trump administration announced Monday that it was freezing funding for social programs in Colorado and four other states, officials said funds that help low-income families pay for child care will be exhausted by the end of January.
A winter storm has begun, and will continue through Saturday evening. The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur this afternoon through Saturday morning. In the mountains there will be 6 to 12 inches of snow, with locally higher amounts possible. Travel may be significantly impacted from this storm, especially over mountain passes.

Colorado River states fail to meet another federal deadline for a deal as disastrous reservoir levels loom
Negotiators from the seven states along the Colorado River blew past yet another federal deadline over the weekend without reaching a compromise on how to share its water — even as this winter’s dismal snowpack could spell immediate disaster for the river system.
Yearslong discussions about how to split the river’s shrinking water supply, which is relied upon by 40 million people, remained deadlocked as the Saturday deadline for a final deal came and went. It was a deadline set by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Colorado Introduces Sweeping Gun Bill Targeting 3D Printing, CNC Machining, and Digital Files
By Lesley Hollywood
February 9, 2026
Audio from a town hall hosted by Colorado State Rep. Andrew Boesnecker last month revealed lawmakers were preparing a bill to regulate 3D printing around firearms. In that discussion, Boesnecker framed the proposal as a way to “close a loophole” in existing law, specifically, the idea that Coloradans could legally 3D-print unserialized firearm receivers at home.
We called bullshit on this, as the conduct he described is already illegal, and then we speculated what the bill would really do. Unfortunately, we were right.

Colorado Republicans set meeting to restrain state chair Brita Horn, but she says they can’t do that
A Colorado Republican Party officer has scheduled a meeting of the party’s state central committee to consider whether to curb state GOP chair Brita Horn’s spending authority and hold a confidence vote in her leadership, but Horn said the party official who issued the formal call lacked the required legal authority, so the meeting won’t take place.
Organizers of the disputed meeting, however, told Colorado Politics that they are following party bylaws and intend to go ahead with the online meeting, set for Feb. 21.
The latest development in an ongoing battle over the direction of the state GOP comes as party officials prepare to hold precinct caucuses in early March, the first step in a weeks-long process to nominate Republican candidates to the June primary ballot.
Last week, state party vice chair Richard Holtorf, a former state lawmaker and congressional candidate, announced his intention to resign his position at the end of February, saying it was “impossible” to work with Horn. He’s the second vice chair to quit the job while citing Horn’s leadership style since Horn took office 10 months ago.

State lawmakers try again to let governments take up to three weeks to fulfill many CORA requests; no journalist exemption in SB 26-107
State lawmakers are trying for the third straight year to give state and local government entities up to three calendar weeks to fulfill many Colorado Open Records Act requests.
Senate Bill 26-107, introduced Wednesday, is nearly identical to a measure vetoed last year by Gov. Jared Polis. A major difference: This year’s bill does not exempt a “newsperson,” as defined by Colorado’s press shield law, from extended CORA response deadlines.
Polis rejected the 2025 legislation because it created “three classes of open records requests that are subject to different timelines: those made by mass media, those made for pecuniary gain, and all other requests.” His veto message added, “It would certainly be convenient for the Executive Branch to agree to weaken CORA, but as a representative for the people of Colorado, I support more, not less, openness and transparency.”
Sen. Cathy Kipp, the Fort Collins Democrat who introduced the 2024 and 2025 bills and is a prime Senate sponsor of SB 26-107 with Sen. Janice Rich, R-Grand Junction, has said that records custodians are “essentially drowning in CORA requests.”

Colorado Lawmakers Considering a 60 Percent Tax Increase on Distilleries and Breweries
As if the times haven’t been hard enough on a consolidating industry in a state also confronted with a serious tourism dip, Colorado lawmakers are considering a 60 percent tax increase on the state’s local breweries, wineries, cideries, and distilleries,
Tax Hike Bill HB26-1271 otherwise known as the Alcohol Impact & Recovery Enterprises act, would seek to raise funds during a state budget crisis, by taxing the beer, wine, and spirits that consumers — many also facing financial challenges — may be using to drown their fears.
“Increasing taxes on breweries in Colorado would be like Maine lawmakers going after lobster fishermen or Georgia with peach farmers. You simply don’t pass job-killing tax increases on a sector that has put you on the map, especially in a way that would go around the will of Colorado voters.”
The proposed bill comes at a time when the Colorado Brewers Guild says their industry is facing the most challenging business conditions in generations, with record closures and down sales. If such a bill were to pass, it would jeopardize 131,000 Colorado brewery, winery, and distillery-related jobs and would greatly increase costs on consumers.
Those businesses include several here in the Arkansas River Valley. “Tourists from around the world come to Colorado to taste what we’re making,” said Lee Wood, president of the Colorado Distillers Guild and owner of Wood’s High Mountain Distillery.
“But,” adds Wood, “with the highest cost increases in generations and unprecedented challenges, this massive tax increase will only make it harder for us to invest in and create jobs for our local communities, let alone survive another season.”

It's sad what is happening with the HVAC world.
I've spent a couple of days talking with the only major group in North Montana about a commercial system that none of the local people have the skill to work on. We've come to the conclusion that from the millennial generation forward America is screwed 👎👎👎
Secondly the equipment that the millennial generation is now building is all junk! We're getting equipment with 2-3 factory leaks just about every other unit. I've installed a roof top and a freezer within the last year that lost its charge before the first month.
It's no different with everyone else... I had a conversation with a district manager and the regional manager from the biggest refrigeration contractor in the Western US and they are getting the same junk just on a bigger scale. The regional manager is traveling around just trying to hire technicians with basic competency. He said that it's pretty much useless to hire anyone under 35 because they don't have basic reading comprehension and they complain non stop about everything.
There's exceptions of course. I know a handful of young men who I would put to work in a heartbeat. But I can count them on one hand.
If you have an old system that is rebuild able I suggest that you find an older man who can do that. But what are we going to do once all of us older men are retired????
This issue alone will end America as we know it. The future is not bright. Put those sunglasses away 👎

So instead of a throw-away product that you have to replace every few years (as opposed to decades in the past) you now have to replace them in under a year or even months. Seems like a great business model for the manufacturers. This is something Mike Rowe has been talking about for years. It is a critical issue and goes right to the heart of a national security crisis. I guess robots will take over and we can just sit back and collect our checks.

Colorado’s House and Senate advanced two gun control bills targeting 3D-printed firearms and gun barrel sales. House Bill 1144 would ban the production and distribution of 3D-printed guns and components, with violations punishable by misdemeanor or felony charges. Senate Bill 43 would require firearm barrels to be sold only by licensed dealers and in person. Both bills, backed by Democrats, aim to restrict "ghost guns." Republicans opposed the measures, calling them unconstitutional and an infringement on Second Amendment rights.

Last week, former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to probation and community service after being convicted of four felonies including Attempt to Influence a Public Official. She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong. I hope she learns from this and can rebuild her life. As someone who has known Sonya as a friend for many years, on a personal level I was glad to hear she isn’t going to prison which is a hard place for anyone, no less a retired 68-year old pharmacist. But it is not lost on me that she was convicted of the exact same felony charge as Tina Peters — attempting to influence a public official — and yet Tina Peters, as a non-violent first time offender got a nine year sentence. Justice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly, you never know when you might need to depend on the rule of law. This is the context I am using as I consider cases like this that have sentencing disparities, which is why I have extended the deadline for clemency applications until April 3rd. I will be making decisions on these cases throughout the remainder of my governorship.

UFO expert privy to 'most sensitive secrets' goes missing in New Mexico: 'Grave national security crisis'
The mysterious disappearance of a retired Air Force major general with deep expertise about UFOs who went missing without a trace Feb. 28 constitutes a “grave national security crisis,” according to an investigative journalist.
Local law enforcement said William Neil McCasland, 68, disappeared after leaving his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home on foot, leaving his phone behind in a missing persons investigation that has since been joined by the FBI.
“This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head,” journalist Ross Coulthart said in the latest edition of his “Reality Check” podcast, adding that McCasland possesses deep knowledge about what the US government might be hiding regarding extraterrestrials.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office issued a Silver Alert for the missing retiree, seeking help from the public in locating him and noting that law enforcement’s concerns for his well-being are exacerbated due to “medical issues.”
During his Air Force career, McCasland headed up research at Wright Patterson Air Force Base — a role in which he oversaw classified space weapons programs, according to Coulthart.

Colorado Sees 13K Property Crimes Monthly, Tops U.S. Despite High Income
1. Colorado’s property crime rate of 2,783 per 100,000 is the highest in the nation, while its per capita income of $77,959 ranks 8th.
2. Colorado leads all seven of its bordering states in both violent and property crime rates, despite also leading them in per capita income, with the widest gap against Utah, where property crime runs 1,155 incidents per 100K lower.
3. Colorado’s High Income, High Crime Index score of 87.12 out of 100 is the highest in America, 42.50 points above last-place Mississippi and 30.76 points above economic twin New Hampshire, which earns just $16.75 less per capita annually.
Colorado residents earn among the highest incomes in the country, yet face more property crime than any other state in America. A resident of New Hampshire, earning virtually the same paycheck, is about one-third as likely to experience property crime and nearly 4.7 times less likely to encounter violent crime.
The study conducted by Simmrin Law Group, a Los Angeles-based criminal defense firm, examined FBI crime data (2021–2025) and U.S. Census Bureau-American Community Survey data across all 50 U.S. states to identify where economic prosperity fails to translate into public safety.
