In the early morning hours of July 29, 2012, 21-year-old Kortne Stouffer vanished from her apartment in Palmyra, Pennsylvania. But this wasn't a quiet night. There were people outside her door, arguments, noise complaints and calls to police. Neighbors awake and paying attention. But by morning, Kortne was gone. Kortne Stouffer was last seen in Palmyra, Pennsylvania in the early morning hours of July 29th, 2012. She is a white female who was 5'8” and weighed approximately 115–120 lbs at the time of her disappearance, with blonde hair and green eyes. She has three distinct tattoos: “One Love” on her right arm, three stars on the top of her right foot, and flowers surrounding a pistol design on her left side.

The Colorado State Capitol Building opened its doors in November 1894. A grand neo-classical monument in the West, it used local materials to capture some of the feel of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Over the decades it's become, like many statehouses across the country, a trove of artwork, history and curiosities. The building is also the frequent site of protests, rallies, celebrations and a variety of other public events, a “People's House,” if you will. In this repeat episode of Purplish, which first published last fall, we shift the conversation from the consequential laws and debates that happen in the state's seat of power to the building itself. CPR's Bente Birkeland and Stephanie Wolf travel from top to bottom to explore what's on its walls and in its halls — and phone a friend for a rare look into what's down below the basement. Their reporting reveals that the building, and its many collections, open up bigger conversations, not just about history but about the state right now.

You might have heard that the U.S. turns 250 this year. It's a big, corporate to-do — the phrase “America 250” is plastered all over baseball hats and bags of potato chips. But what do Americans really make of this anniversary? The historian Jill Lepore and audiomaker Sophie Crane wanted to find out. They sent reporters all across the country, from California to Louisiana to Vermont, to listen to what people had to say about it.This piece is part of a project called The Listeners, an experiment in hyperlocal documentary storytelling from the Transom Story Lab. You can find the Transom post here and the New Yorker Radio Hour presentation here.Reporting by Eve Abrams in Louisiana, Scott Carrier and Jenny Ament in Utah, Erica Heilman in Vermont, Yohance Lacour in Illinois and David Weinberg in California.

Photojournalist Nick Stern still has nightmares from the night an officer fired a flashbang into his leg as he covered the LA immigration protests. He's one of dozens of journalists assaulted, arrested, or deported in Trump's second term — a year that pushed the US to 64th on the World Press Freedom Index, its lowest ranking ever.In this episode of The Battle for Free Speech, Michael Fox is joined by Real News investigative journalist and Capitol Hill correspondent Taya Graham to map the assault on the American press: the rubber bullets and broken bones, the billion-dollar lawsuits, the FBI raids on reporters' homes, the jailing of journalists like Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, and the deportation of immigrant reporters Mario Guevara and Estephanie Rodriguez. Featuring voices from the Committee to Protect Journalists and the National Press Photographers Association, they trace how violence, intimidation, media consolidation, and the gutting of access all serve a single goal: self-censorship — the silencing of the press in the name of free speech.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News Network.Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner.

For the twenty-fifth installment of “50 Weeks That Shaped America” we go to June 1969, and New York City's Greenwich Village. Police raids on the Stonewall Inn, one of the main gay bar's in NYC, were fairly common. But for a number of reasons, on the night of June 28th, patrons had finally had enough. They pushed back on the police, a crowd formed, someone (maybe?) threw a brick, and a key moment in the gay rights movement was sparked. We talk about the larger context of activism that set the stage for Stonewall, what went down that night — and how the story of Stonewall is contested in ways that reveal a lot about how movements grow and shift.Join our America250 newsletter community!

So you made the transition to non-monogamy… but you ended up feeling like you're living two separate parallel lives in different relationships. This might not seem like that big a deal from the outside, but in many cases, having a siloed relational life can cause profound suffering.This isn't just about having different relationships with different people (that's normal and healthy, whether you're monogamous or not!). It's about psychological fragmentation that can lead to broken commitments, memory gaps, and a sense of wrongness you can't seem to shake.I call this bifurcated monogamy—a phenomenon where people unconsciously split their relational world into separate, incompatible realities. If you've ever struggled with time management between partners, found yourself unable to remember important details, or felt completely broken when two partners are in the same room together, this episode will help you understand what's happening and what you can do about it.In this episode, we talk about:— What bifurcated monogamy actually is and how it differs from healthy parallel polyamory— Psychological splitting and how it shows up in non-monogamous relationships— The difference between holding multiplicity as your whole self versus fragmenting into separate selves— Red flags to watch for: time blindness, memory gaps, mutually exclusive commitments, and feeling "broken" when partners are together— How internalized polyphobia fuels the unconscious need to split our relational worlds— The role of mono-normative conditioning and why we have to keep "squeegeeing our souls" of these projections— Ken's personal experiences with this phenomenon across romantic relationships, co-parenting dynamics, and even professional contexts— Why privacy needs versus transparency needs can create impossible situations without awareness— The protective mechanism behind splitting and why it makes sense (even though it doesn't actually protect us)— Practical tools for addressing bifurcation— Why this is something to bring to therapy or coaching rather than trying to white-knuckle your way through— How to know if you've created relational situations that genuinely cannot coexist versus situations that need better integrationResources mentioned in this episode:— Our episode on transition management— Learn more about relationship agreementsJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

Lush peonies, delicate hydrangeas, and vibrant roses burst into bloom in early summer, filling gardens and parks with color and fragrance. But flowers are more than their beauty. They're some of the oldest beings on Earth, and they played a large role in shaping the natural world as we know it. Author and biologist David George Haskell joins us to discuss his 2026 book, How Flowers Made Our World: The Story of Nature's Revolutionaries. Also, while honeybees get most of the buzz, most bees don't produce honey, and most don't even live in colonies. Instead, they're solitary bees who build individual nests. A recent study details an astonishing finding of several million solitary bees in a cemetery in Ithaca, New York. And the 2026 El Niño is now officially underway, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA. Combined with the ongoing rising temperatures from the climate crisis, this possible “super” El Niño could spell major disruption of weather patterns and ocean circulation worldwide. -- Sign up for the next virtual Living on Earth Book Club event on July 14 at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT! We'll talk with Yurok activist and attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis about how multiple generations of her family have advocated for the protection of Northern California's Klamath River, a crucial habitat for salmon and the lifeblood of the Yurok tribe.

Pepita Redhair was 27 years old when she disappeared from Albuquerque, New Mexico on or about March 24, 2020. In the days and weeks that followed, her family desperately searched for answers while facing roadblocks, conflicting information, and a lack of attention during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. More than six years later, Pepita's loved ones are still searching for the truth about what happened to her and continuing to advocate for justice. Pepita is a Native American woman with brown hair and brown eyes. She is approximately 5'1" and 140 pounds. She has two beauty marks on her chin and distinctive tattoos, including a dinosaur on her right forearm, a koi fish on her left forearm, a butterfly on her shoulder, and the word “redhair” tattooed elsewhere on her body. Anyone with information about Pepita's disappearance is encouraged to contact the Albuquerque Police Department at (505) 768-2020.

Washington is one of 19 states that have received federal approval to enroll people in Medicaid before they leave jail or prison — a radical change in Medicaid policy that health care and law enforcement leaders believe will save lives. But this experiment in bringing Medicaid behind bars is now colliding with H.R. 1, the sweeping federal law that is forcing states to make major changes to Medicaid.Guest(s):Autumn Boylan, Deputy director, California Department of Health Care ServicesLauren Brinkley-Rubinstein, Professor, Population Health Sciences, Duke University School of MedicineCody CoughenourPete Croughan, Deputy secretary, Louisiana Department of HealthBruce Greenstein, Secretary, Louisiana Department of Health Tyron Nixon, Medicaid Reentry Transformation Implementation Manager, Washington State Health Care AuthorityEmma Sandoe, Medicaid director, OregonPenelope Sapp, Chief of corrections, Kitsap County Sheriff's OfficeMarc Stern, Former assistant secretary for health care at the Washington Department of CorrectionsTamara Vanover, Mental health specialist, Clallam County Sheriff's OfficeLearn more: Read the full reporting and explore additional resources on our website.Want more Tradeoffs?

On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration—January 20, 2025—the heads of many of Silicon Valley's most powerful tech firms sat in the rows just behind Trump. It was a sign of Trump's deep ties to the industry and to these powerful individuals who are transforming how we communicate, and not for the better. In this episode, Michael Fox visits Silicon Valley to try to understand the stranglehold that tech has over our media and our airwaves. Hosts Michael Fox and Marc Steiner dig into the ways media consolidation, social media, and AI are strangling our free speech, even as they claim to be liberating it—and us—with incredible insight from professors Todd Wolfson, Mary Anne Franks, Fara Dabhoiwala, Ramesh Srinivasan, and Jeff Cohen, the founder of the organization Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, FAIR.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News Network.Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner.

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, the brothers continue their study through 1 John 3, exploring what it means to be purified through Christ and how the hope of the resurrection impacts the believer's daily walk. They discuss the difference between living in righteousness and practicing sin, the ongoing process of sanctification, and how victory over sin comes through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.Along the way, the conversation touches on the dangers of trusting in wealth, lotteries, religious works, and man-made systems instead of God's promises. The brothers also examine the relationship between grace, faith, and holy living, emphasizing that believers are called to abide in Christ rather than allow sin to have dominion over their lives.Whether you're seeking encouragement in your faith or looking for a deeper understanding of 1 John, this episode offers practical biblical insights and a reminder of the hope we have in Christ.Scripture Focus: 1 John 3:3–10Topics Covered:The hope of the resurrectionBeing made pure through ChristSin and the believer's walkSanctification and spiritual growthVictory through the CrossLiving as children of GodBe sure to subscribe and share this episode with someone who could use encouragement in their walk with Jesus.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

For the twenty-fourth installment of “50 Weeks That Shaped America” we go to the Montana Territory in the spring of 1876. General George Custer (and his cinnamon-scented hair) have been sent to the area to defeat the Plains Indians. But at the Battle Of Little Bighorn (aka Custer's Last Stand) things would go awry. Over two episodes, we discuss the post-Civil-War Westward expansion; how Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse mounted an Indian defense; and how a bloody defeat was spun into a military legend.

What a weird and hard and scary time it is to be a queer person, and what a confusing time for both queer people and allies to understand alike to think through the relationship between the Christian faith and queerness, when so much is being said by Christians against queer and trans people. And yet, queer and trans and non-binary and gay and lesbian and bi Christians exist and more than arguments for our rights to exist, more than scriptural and theological underpinning for our legitimacy and our being made in the image of God, and certainly more than our flush assimilation into the structure and life of the church as it is and has been, gay and queer and trans people have unique and important faith and unique and important vocations within the church. We are joined by the Rev. Dr. Cameron Partridge in this week's discussion of queer ministry and vocation. Cover

Fruit of the Root, 2 of 8 from June 14, 2026 “We grow in love as we walk with God's Spirit.” Galatians 5 & Philippians 4 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon teaches that Biblical joy is an active choice to “rejoice in the Lord always,” grounded not in changing circumstances but in God's unchanging character, presence, and work. Pastor Michael, candid about his own lack of natural joy, calls listeners to abide in Christ, let the Spirit grow this fruit, turn anxious fixation on what's broken into grateful attention to what is true and good so that Spirit-produced joy is seen as a compelling witness to the reality of Jesus.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
People pleasing is not an effective strategy on the path to healthy, conscious relating. But adopting an approach towards autonomy that amounts to ‘I don't owe anyone anything' is…not it either. These extremes were adaptive patterns; they helped us survive difficult childhoods, but they don't help us much as adults.True autonomy, when you really understand it and put it into practice, will strengthen your relationship, deepen your connection, and allow you to experience a new level of freedom. And non-monogamy presents a wealth of opportunities for coming into a deeper relationship with your own autonomy and that of your partners.In this episode, we talk about:— What autonomy actually means (and what it doesn't mean)— The difference between autonomy and individuation, and why that matters— How autonomy can be weaponized or used defensively in relationships— The tension between wanting autonomy and wanting deep interconnection with others— Why "you don't owe anyone anything" is a problematic framework for relationships— The horseshoe effect: how enmeshment and individualism can actually loop back around to each other— The subtle language patterns that reveal whether you're truly practicing autonomy or deflecting responsibility— Permission-based dynamics vs. responsibility-based autonomy— How cultural expectations around monogamy influence our understanding of autonomy— The importance of grounding into your autonomous self while hinging between multiple partners— Why writing down (or recording) your agreements can reveal unconscious patterns in how you relate to autonomy— How practicing real autonomy actually strengthens your relationships rather than weakening themJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

In the final part of Nancy Guthrie's case, we pick up with the update that changed everything: law enforcement had recovered previously inaccessible doorbell camera footage showing a masked, armed man outside Nancy's Tucson home in the early morning hours after she was last seen. From there, the case only gets more complicated. In this episode, I walk through the video, the suspect description, the DNA reportedly found at Nancy's home, the people questioned and later released or cleared, the public focus on Nancy's family, the Mexico angle, and the intense media ecosystem that has formed around this case. And just as this episode was being posted, a new report surfaced involving an anonymous tip and a renewed search effort in Mexico another reminder that Nancy's case is still active, still developing, and still desperately in need of answers. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Please continue sharing the official FBI flyer and submit any information directly to law enforcement. 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona on January 31st, 2026. She is white, 5'4” tall about 150lbs with brown hair and blue eyes. The FBI is also asking for help identifying the suspect seen in the recovered doorbell camera footage. He is described as a male, approximately 5'9” to 5'10” with an average build. In the video, he is wearing dark clothing, gloves, a mask, and a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack. There is a reward of up to $1.2 Million in this case. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324. You can also submit a tip anonymously online at Tips.FBI.GOV, or the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 520-351-4900.

To celebrate Juneteenth we tell the story of plant biologist Beronda Montgomery. When she sat down to write what became a personal memoir mixed with a botanical history of African Americans, she found her research as a PhD lab scientist had brought her squarely into the world of social science as well. From her studies of how plants respond to light during photosynthesis, she started shining a light on the history of extensive plant cultivation by African Americans, including those who endured forced labor. She joins us to discuss her book When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, Historyand America's Black Botanical Legacy. Also, George Washington Carver was born into slavery but went on to become a famous agronomist and helped poor people in the South improve their lives and soils by planting peanuts and other legumes. This week, he comes back from the past in the form of actor and playwright Paxton Williams, who joins us as “George Washington Carver” to talk about the future of modern-day agriculture and intersections between racial dynamics and agricultural development. -- Music licensed from Blue Dot Sessions: sessions.blue Learn more about your ad choices.

Free speech in America was never given — it was fought for, bled for, and died for. In this episode, hosts Marc Steiner and Michael Fox dive into the history of the movements that built and defended the right to speak out: the abolitionists who continued to speak — even as mobs attacked the building where they gathered — Ida B. Wells, who exposed the truth about lynching in Jim Crow Memphis, and the students at UC Berkeley who launched the Free Speech Movement of 1964.Michael takes us to Sproul Plaza, ground zero of the Berkeley free speech movement, and Marc shares his own story of carrying that fight from the civil rights movement to campuses on the East Coast. Together they trace a brutal pattern that runs from Elijah Lovejoy — the abolitionist editor murdered by a mob in 1837 — to the burning of Pennsylvania Hall, to today's crackdowns on student protest and the firing of professors for their political views.Featuring law professor Mary Anne Franks, author of Fearless Speech, on the crucial difference between fearless speech and reckless speech — and why America has so often protected the wrong one. Plus UC Berkeley historian David Hollinger on why universities are "the hill to die on," and Princeton historian Fara Dabhoiwala on why free speech has always been a battle over power.This is the second episode of The Battle for Free Speech. In this podcast series, in the lead-up to the country's 250th anniversary, journalists Michael Fox and Marc Steiner look at the battle for our free speech rights today, and the attacks on people speaking out in the United States.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News Network.Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner.

For years, people have asked what active searching for Alissa looks like in 2026. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a recent search effort that left me with more questions than answers. After being directed toward a specific area, our search team brought in trained dogs. During the search, the dogs alerted in a location that raised serious concerns. Despite those alerts, law enforcement has declined to conduct additional follow-up at this time. This episode isn't about speculation. It's about documenting what happened, sharing the reality of searching for a missing loved one decades later, and explaining why families often find themselves fighting for answers long after public attention fades. Alissa Turney disappeared from Phoenix, Arizona, on May 17, 2001, and remains missing. If you have information about her disappearance, please contact the Phoenix Police Department, submit a tip to Silent Witness, or contact me directly. Thank you for continuing to keep Alissa's name and story alive.

For the twenty-third installment of “50 Weeks That Shaped America” we go to 1974. Of course we had to do an episode on Watergate as part of this series, but in this week's two-parter we try to paint a picture of what came immediately after the scandal that brought down Nixon. We trace an era of genuine government reform, the decades-long debate over presidential power… and how many of those reforms are being weaponized and outright perverted today.

EPISODE SUMMARY What happens when outward success hides inner burnout? In this powerful conversation with entrepreneur, resilience coach, and author Tracy Doyle, we explore the hidden cost of high performance, the emotional toll of ambition, and why so many successful people feel disconnected despite achieving everything they thought would make them happy. Tracy shares her journey from childhood trauma and instability to becoming an award-winning CEO, then hitting a breaking point that forced her to confront burnout, relationship strain, and unresolved emotional patterns. We dive into the psychology of success, trauma-driven ambition, perfectionism, emotional wellness, and how to rebuild a life rooted in peace instead of pressure. We discuss Tracy's book Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky and the practical tools behind her Aurora Method—a framework designed to help high achievers break destructive patterns, heal burnout, and reconnect with themselves and the people they love. If you're interested in burnout recovery, mental health, emotional resilience, trauma healing, entrepreneurship, self-development, women's leadership, relationships, or peak performance, this episode is packed with insight. WE TALKED ABOUT … The connection between burnout, trauma, and identity … Why success can become an addiction that never truly satisfies … The version of yourself that may need to die for healing to begin EPISODE NOTES Tracy Doyle is an entrepreneur, author of Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky, and emotional wellness advocate whose work sits at the intersection of business achievement and personal transformation. Her journey — from a childhood shaped by trauma and instability, to award-winning CEO, to resilience coach — is living proof that our deepest wounds can become our greatest purpose. The first in her family to graduate college, Tracy earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and counseling before building a standout career in the pharmaceutical industry. She founded and led a multimillion-dollar medical communications company — earning the regional Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and recognition from Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc. — before answering a different call. Behind the accolades was a truth she couldn't ignore: the cost of high performance. Emotional burnout and disconnection had quietly eroded her relationships and personal fulfillment. That breaking point became the catalyst for everything that followed — including the Aurora Method, a psychology-informed, mindfulness-based framework that helps people understand what drives their relationship conflicts and emotional burnout, break the patterns keeping them stuck, and restore connection with themselves and the people who matter most.

Chances are, if you know one thing about conscious relating, it's that communication is key. And if you're good at communicating in monogamous relationships, you might think that those skills will easily transfer to polyamory. But even when you're doing non-monogamy, there's often a set of invisible monogamous scripts making things a lot harder without you even realizing it.This isn't easy to spot, let alone navigate. When we leave monogamy, we leave behind all those default cultural scripts that (supposedly!) give us shared baseline understandings of what is normal and reasonable to expect in relationships. Except… often we haven't actually left them behind. And constantly questioning whether or not these unspoken assumptions and cognitive shortcuts are running in the background of your communication can be exhausting. So if you're finding communication in non-monogamy to be tiring and difficult for reasons you can't easily identify, this one is for you.In this episode, we talk about:— Why many people who consider themselves "great communicators" struggle when they start doing non-monogamy— The invisible ways we rely on cultural scripts and shortcuts to make communication easier— How the brain conserves energy through defaults, and what happens when we step outside those defaults— The difference between implicit and explicit communication styles, and why mismatches can cause real pain— Why one partner might find all the processing nourishing while the other finds it exhausting— The myth that relationships should be "just fun" and why that can lead to avoiding necessary communication— How to reframe difficult conversations as part of the relationship rather than obstacles to it— Building capacity for hard conversations over time (it's like going to the gym!)— The power of using structured tools like Imago Dialogue and the apology and accountability ladder— Why preparing for conversations isn't unromantic—it's actually deeply caring— The role of regular check-ins in creating space for thoughtful, prepared communication— How new partners and metamours shift the entire relational field, even when you're not directly relating to them— Learning to tolerate that you won't know everything happening in your relational network— Growing your capacity to trust your partners' autonomy and their other relationships— Why transparency and privacy needs often conflict, and how to navigate that tension— The reality that we can't fully leave the monogamous script when it's embedded in everything around usResources mentioned in this episode:— Our Repair Skills Playlist— Episode 245: Check-Ins That Actually Work— Episode 243: Making Decisions TogetherJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

Part One of my series on Nancy Guthrie begins where the case began: with the first days of confusion, concern, and unanswered questions. In this episode, we walk through the earliest timeline of Nancy's disappearance, what was known publicly at the time, and how her family began trying to piece together what happened. As the story unfolded, each new detail raised more questions than answers. 84 year old Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona on January 31st, 2026. She is white, 5'4” tall about 150 lbs with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324.

The National Science Foundation has announced it will begin removing most of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a collection of roughly 900 instruments in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that gathers fixed-point data on temperature, carbon dioxide levels, and more. The move is part of a broader trend within the current administration to shelve climate science research and reporting. Also, today the Agora and Acropolis of Athens, Delphi on Mount Parnassus, and other Greek archaeological sites preserve not only cultural heritage, but also animal and plant species, including some that were around in ancient times and are described in historical accounts and Greek mythology. And the indigenous residents of Bougainville island in Papua New Guinea say their home used to provide them with everything they needed—shelter, fertile land, and clean water. That is until a copper and gold mine run by British-Australian company Rio Tinto set up shop and operated in the 1970s and 80s. Today, heavy metals like copper sulfate and cadmium still pollute waterways, and Theonila Roka Matbob, the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize Winner for Islands and Island Nations, has been fighting for years to pressure Rio Tinto into taking full responsibility for remediating this damage. -- Save the date and sign up for the next virtual Living on Earth Book Club event on July 14 at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT!

Colorado released former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters on parole June 1 from a women's state correctional facility in Pueblo. She was less than two years into a nearly nine-year sentence for her role in tampering with county voting machines months after the 2020 presidential election, part of an effort to search for election rigging. Peters, who has become a hero among some MAGA voters, wasted no time repeating claims that Democrats are using technology to steal elections. The decision to free Peters early has potentially upended Gov. Jared Polis' final months in office, enraging his political allies and disheartening defenders of the election system.CPR's Bente Birkeland and Tom Hesse dig into this long and complicated tale, from the original plot to access Mesa County's election equipment, to the pressure campaign President Donald Trump launched to free her and Polis' recent clemency decision. They also discuss what her early release could mean for elections and politics in the state, and elsewhere, going forward.
