@NickRiccardi @JonMurray I blame the Mets

Steamboat Ski Resort is running a few dozen snowmaking guns...in July. Just out of precaution. What's that phrase you use, @NickRiccardi? Oh yeah: Endless screaming. denverpost.com/2026/07/13/col…

Here’s what that prison looked like in February 2020. I toured it, since there were rumors floating around that it would become an ICE prison back then.

Victor Marx, the Republican nominee for Colorado governor, has an unusual backstory. Here’s what to know. mrf.lu/2NnrX denverpost.com/2026/07/10/vic…

This was Colorado's hottest first half of a year on record...and it wasn't even close. Average statewide temp of 46.2° (NCEI data) made this our hottest January-June on record by more than a full degree. The impact of a warming climate is clear in the chart below. #COwx

Victor Marx, now the Republican nominee for governor: “Phil Weiser, he’s a smart fella — but he represents the current system, because he is part of it. And that current system has made Colorado more expensive, less afe and harder for regular families to trust government.”

We're hiring for a legislative/state government reporter @denverpost! Thankfully that doesn't mean Seth is leaving us. Job posting is below. If you've got some experience in some combo of politics/legislative/government/investigative news coverage, hit us up!

Personal News Post: After 4 years as a legislative reporter, psyched to say I’m moving into an enterprise reporting role at The Denver Post. I’ll still be covering immigration & politics, among other issues, & I’m excited & grateful to contribute to this newsroom in a new way.

This is a wild story. As the state poured millions of dollars into improvements at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, officials appear to have overlooked a dangerous shortcoming -- bullets escaping the facility's gun range.

NEW: Unaffiliated candidate for Colorado Gov Greg Lopez appears on MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann's show to receive his endorsement for Governor. Oltmann, who has called for execution of "Synagogue of Satan Jews" including Gov Jared Polis, had backed Scott Bottoms in the GOP primary

@alanfranklin I’m not bent out of shape, don’t worry kind sir

@JonMurray Not sure what that means, all I'm saying is reporters in my experience tend to take criticism much more personally from one side than the other. You guys let the right say psycho things to you and then get all bent out of shape about something minor like this. It's a bit weird.

Not to pile on, but no. Afraid we're stretched too thin these days to confidently make calls (which AP is better equipped to do). New story today: Why the Republican primary for Colorado governor — led narrowly by Victor Marx — hasn’t been called denverpost.com/2026/07/07/col…

@alanfranklin How do you come up with all these straw men, lol

@JonMurray Sure thing, okay boys. Once again I am amused by how uptight y'all get while the right calls you enemies of the people and stuff. #copolitics
