Opinion: Utah wanted the feds to β€œget out,” but Trump’s draconian cuts are hitting home Westerners love all that financial support coming in from the agencies they profess to hate. They rely on the federal government for so much more than they often acknowledge.

A must read. The West likes to tell the feds to "get out -- but give us more money" but what Trump's cuts mean for those communities that cheered his election but now are on the chopping block. www.denverpost.com/2025/03/18/t...

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

'So long, and thanks for all the fish' I’ve never been particularly good at math, but as I count it, it’s been 47 years since I first started working as a journalist.

Goodbye @oldnewsman. You really guided political coverage in Colorado. www.gjsentinel.com/news/western...

Such as Pam Anderson in 2022. Even the Democratic strategist on CBS 4 said she was the best and she was. But Trump. Damn him. #copolitics

California raw milk producer says RFK Jr. has encouraged him to apply for FDA position The California raw milk producer who has issued several product recalls for bird flu has has applied for an advisory role at the Food and Drug Administration.

Yum yum.

"The raw milk producer at the center of several bird-flu recalls says RFK Jr. has encouraged him to apply for a position at the FDA.

"The recalls were the result of positive tests for H5N1 bird flu among his cows. His farms have since been quarantined...”

The image is a screenshot of a tweet by Jackson Hinkle, which compares Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It includes side-by-side photos of Zelensky, described as "sweaty, greedy, unshaven, rat-like," and Assad, described as "a gigachad, clean-shaven, wearing top quality suits." The tweet mocks Zelensky's appearance and contrasts it with praise for Assad's attire and demeanor after their respective times of war.

I remember Trump spent billions bailing out farmers because of his tariffs so they wouldn’t lose their farms. I don’t understand when they say things were better under Trump when we couldn’t even find toilet paper.
