Transparency has its virtues, but there are times when private conversations are necessary in order to arrive at a mutually beneficial solution.

Sarah Isgur@whignewtons

Interesting argument that the American Revolution succeeded bc they debated the Constitution behind closed doors and the French Revolution failed bc they did everything in public. Transparency isn’t a virtue in all times and places! See, Congress.

NEW: Colorado’s four Republicans in Congress fight state GOP’s attempt to block unaffiliated voters from party’s 2026 primaries coloradosun.com/2026/04/24/lau… #copolitics

Mark Hillman@mhillman·4d

So many commenters are sanctimonious about keeping Republican primary for Republicans only, but NONE explained how that helps GOP win an election when the other party is embracing the 52% of the voters who are registered as neither R nor D.🙊🙈🙉

Mark Hillman@mhillman·6d

Could @cologop try any harder to turn away the largest voter block in the state? CO voters - 52% UA, 25% D, 22% R. How do you expect to win when you've just told UA voters they're not welcome? Do the math & tell me how you get to 50% w/o UAs? #copolitics coloradopolitics.com/2026/04/22/col…

Today’s American political landscape.

Frank Luntz@FrankLuntz

"Not long ago, political movements organized around what they wanted to build, whether that was healthcare reform, civil rights, a balanced budget, or a smaller federal government. At the political extremes today, the organizing principle is what they hate." realclearpolitics.com/articles/2026/…

🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸@mrddmia·5d

The NFL must be accessible to all Americans. Congress gave the NFL an exemption from federal antitrust laws: the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. That law lets the NFL pool its media rights and sell them as one package. A legally sanctioned cartel. They want paid streaming, for everything. Over a thousand dollars for you to watch football. That is not the deal. Thanks for having me, @seanhannity.

@HQNewsNow So when Democrats win elections, did God just take that year off? Or are Democrats also placed in positions of authority by God?

English

Headquarters@HQNewsNow·20 Nis

Trump's White House Faith Office advisor Paula White: Trump has been raised up by God because God says that he raises up people and places them in positions of authority. It is God that raises up a king. When you fight against the plan of God you're fighting against the hand of God

@BianchiWeather Except that the jet stream's path does generally define this winter's boundary between the warm and dry West and the cold and snowy East. If you want to argue the jet stream is due to climate change, then make that case.

Chris Bianchi@BianchiWeather·21 Nis

Pardon if this comes off as snooty, but I'm not a fan of this back-and-forth. Lots of anecdotal/individual events in individual places to debate climate change. To be clear: There's no doubt climate change is behind the extremity of this winter's historically bad snowpack.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Chris Wright insists that collapsing snow pack in Colorado is the result of "the path of the jet stream last year," not climate change

Barb Kirkmeyer for Governor@KirkmeyerforGov·22 Nis

Colorado is ranked 45th in road conditions. Traffic is worse. Accidents are rising. And instead of fixing congestion, projects are being delayed. That’s what years of bad priorities get you. It’s time to get Colorado moving again. Read my op-ed in the Grand Junction Sentinel gjsentinel.com/opinion/column… #itstime

David French struggles and faceplants with his attempt to justify to @conservmillen why he endorsed Kamala Harris, given her lengthy track record of persecuting prolife Christians and journalists.

@JesseAPaul Money quote from Sen. Lindsay Daugherty: "We wanted to run a comprehensive bill that addressed money in politics, including legislators using their legislative power for financial gain." Hit close to home for trial lawyers who file lawsuits & make $$$ from laws they sponsor! Wow!

Erick Erickson@EWErickson·18 Nis

The Senate races are now much more important, and the GOP is probably going to lose North Carolina and Ohio and spend so much to save Paxton in Texas that they don't win Georgia or Michigan.

Jan Crawford@JanCBS

BREAKING: Justice Samuel Alito NOT retiring. Sources close to Justice Alito confirm the Fox News report that he has decided not to step down this year. In addition, sources close to Justice Thomas tell me he’s not retiring. That indicates that this year, with the midterms on the horizon, Trump will not be making his 4th nomination to SCOTUS.

@SenatorBrophy @MandyConnell You're probably right that she'll win, but if Dems have $3M to make election all about her instead of about Trump (who's still popular in CO-4) that wouldn't be good.
