A reminder how ICE treats priests.
🌤️ Mostly sunny and warmer, with a high in the mid-50s in Denver, about 10° above average. It'll be windy in the foothills with 40-50 mph gusts, and it'll turn breezy in Denver (20-25 mph winds) this afternoon.
A little cooler tomorrow (low 50s) and dry until Friday.

Models trending much colder for Sunday's Broncos game as they're pushing in more and more Arctic air.
Might be talking low 30s or even 20s at kick, maybe even a chance for flurries/light snow.
As I said yesterday and Sunday...it's a tough forecast. Stay tuned!

The inside story of the Giants’ John Harbaugh deal and the talks that saved it
As late as Saturday, Harbaugh's done deal wasn't done. And the Titans weren’t the only team ready to pounce if the unimaginable happened.

#Trump must be fuming today on #MartinLutherKingJrDay, being reminded that #MLKjr received a #NobelPeacePrize. So he's taking it out on #Norway. As someone else observed, he's a toddler with a gun. #tariffs
In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited New York City on his way home from accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. Speaking to a packed crowd at City Hall, Dr. King said,
"Those who have sat so long in darkness now find themselves lighting the way for others...”

Trump tells Norway the reason he's stealing Greenland is that he's so butthurt they didn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Norwegian government has no control over the decisions of the Nobel Committee. Also, Greenland is a province of Denmark, not Norway. 🙄

Abolish ICE and fire all of its violent January 6th brownshirts. Reinstate INS: the Immigration and Naturalization SERVICE. #Minneapolis #Minnesota
Remember, this is the guy who told George Stephanopoulos that Trump could win and everyone laughed at him.
Ignore his warnings at your own risk.

AG Keith Ellison: "ICE is provoking them, or trying to. And I do think they would love a justification to invoke the Insurrection Act because I think that would give them an advantage in the election. Namely, to maybe suspend them."

🏈🌤️ Let’s go Broncos! A chilly and windy day, with a high only in the upper 30s in Denver with a few flurries early this morning. 30-40 mph winds slowly relax this afternoon.
🌡️ Warmer (50s) with less wind tomorrow before a chilly Monday with a chance for light snow.
