Interesting (crazy) development in the Coomer defamation case. I think the last thing I wrote about this was how a ton of the other defendants had already settled:

Coloradans could be asked this November to approve a temporary congressional map giving a big advantage to Democrats, joining other Democratic-led states that have pursued similar efforts in response to GOP redistricting at President Donald Trump’s urging.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, Colorado marks its 150th, or sesquisemiquincentennial.

It's a challenge for news anchors directed by their producers to say sesquisemiquincentennial.

Wexner deposition. Plays dumb. I read today that all holdings have been transferred to his wife co-conspirator Abigail Wexner.

Not a single Republican showed up for Les Wexner’s deposition today — the billionaire longtime Epstein associate whose name appears repeatedly in the files.

Zero. Oversight. From the GOP.

Wexner also says the FBI and DOJ have never contacted him.

Maybe it’s just me, but I would much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than white supremacists or racist MAGA lunatics who worship their pedophile president any day of the week.

fascinating @cprnews.bsky.social story about people whose parents don't get them birth certificates (yep, it's a thing)...it's especially difficult to resolve in Colorado.
Her parents didn’t register her Colorado birth, and she has been stateless ever since. But that may soon change
The Colorado Board of Health votes on changes to the state’s delayed birth certificate rules Feb. 18.

From the White House Trump waded into the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia sewage crisis yesterday in a Truth Social post accusing Maryland Gov. Wes Moore of “gross mismanagement” over one of the largest sewage spills in U.S. history. The thing is, it’s actually Trump’s own Environmental Protection Agency with the regulatory authority over the DC Water-owned pipe that burst and spilled millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River last month. The pipe will take nine months to fix. While there’s a plan in place, E. coli bacteria have already escaped into the river, making it unsafe for recreation and pets. Curious timing: “The president’s own EPA explicitly refused to participate in the major legislative hearing about the cleanup last Friday,” a spokesperson for Moore said. “Apparently, the Trump administration hadn’t gotten the memo that they’re actually supposed to be in charge here.” What the experts are saying: Trump’s post won’t do anything other than draw attention to the issue, Betsy Nicholas, president of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network, told NOTUS’ Anna Kramer. She also added that she is confused about why Trump said in his post that FEMA would be responsible for managing the crisis. “I've been doing this work more than 25 years, and have never interfaced with FEMA,” Nicholas said. Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., who are responsible for the massive sewage spill in the Potomac River, must get to work, IMMEDIATELY. If they can’t do the job, they have to call me and ask, politely, to get it fixed. The Federal Government is not at all involved with what has taken place, but we can fix it. But remember, even in that case, with the Democrat Shutdown, we’ll have to bring in true Patriots to do the work because many are not working right now. These Democrat caused Disasters, both River and Shutdown, will only get worse. The two Governors and the Mayor of D.C. must act, IMMEDIATELY. This is a Radical Left caused Environmental Hazard. With all of their talk about carbon footprints and everything else, they’re allowing hundreds of tons of sewage to pour into the Mighty Potomac, making it much less mighty. ACT FAST. I am awaiting your call. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
