Friday Flyover of politics and elections news from America's heartland | TX GOP Rep Chip Roy says he'd boot MAGA Mike over funding bill | Missouri Sec of State on track to waste more money and lose more court cases | Lauren Boebert switches districts, CO GOP Rep Doug Lamborn announces retirementSOURCES: The Heartland Collective, Axios, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri Independent, Fox17 WZTV Nashville, Iowa Capitol DispatchIs Speaker Mike Johnson Already on the way out? https://www.axios.com/2024/01/11/mike-johnson-house-speaker-motion-vacateFrom ArticleDriving the news: A dozen right-wing House Republicans blocked a package of their party's bills and ground the House floor to a sudden halt on Wednesday in protest of Johnson's spending deal with Senate Democrats.It's a repeat of of what hardliners did under former Speaker McCarthy over his bipartisan debt ceiling deal – which ultimately foreshadowed his removal months later through a motion to vacate.The move came as Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) has been flirting with the idea of trying to remove Johnson, saying in a radio interview on Tuesday: "If they totally botch [the appropriations bills] ... I don't know why we would keep him as speaker."One Republican leadership ally described the revolt as a "shot across the bow."Missouri AG and recent melted blob of flesh on CNN, Jay Ashcroft, gets smacked down in courthttps://www.stltoday.com/news/local/government-politics/judge-rejects-jay-ashcroft-s-bid-to-dismiss-high-profile-lawsuit-against-his-office/article_01f1fdc6-af1c-11ee-8076-27fdb2bf7fa8.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-shareComplaint https://business.cch.com/srd/20231023_SIFMA-v-Ashcroft_amended-complaint.pdfFrom the articleA federal judge rejected an effort by Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft to dismiss a lawsuit against his office over new, politically charged rules aimed at limiting the impact of environmental, social and governance factors in investment decisions.In a ruling Friday, U.S. District Judge Steven Bough ruled unanimously in favor of a trade group that is suing the Republican gubernatorial candidate and his office on the grounds that the rule imposed by Ashcroft fails to acknowledge that federal law already requires financial advisers to act in the best interest of their clients when providing personalized investment advice.“The court finds that Plaintiff adequately alleges that the rules violate the First Amendment,” Bough wrote. “The court finds that Plaintiff adequately alleges that the rules are unconstitutionally vague.”And Bough said the trade organization can continue its pursuit of the case because it has the legal standing to represent financial advisers who object to Ashcroft's rule.Ashcroft issued the rules — the first in the nation — after a similar “anti-woke” investing proposal died in the Legislature last year.Ashcroft, who is facing Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe and Sen. Bill Eigel in the August 2024 GOP primary, has used the lawsuit to raise money for his gubernatorial campaign, where culture war issues have played a prominent role.And, he is using taxpayer funds to pay a campaign donor to represent his office in the lawsuit.Instead of using the Missouri attorney general's office to fight the challenge to the rules, Ashcroft hired the politically connected Kansas City law firm of Graves Garrett to represent his office.Law firm partner Todd Graves, a former head of the Missouri Republican Party, was named to the University of Missouri board of trustees in 2021 and Greim was mentioned as a possible pick for attorney general when Eric Schmitt vacated the post to become U.S. senator in 2021.Greim also represented the Office of the Governor in 2018 when former Gov. Eric Greitens was under investigation for possible impeachment.Tennessee Dems Pushing Back on Abortion Bans With New Reproductive Rights BillsThe bill is sponsored by new Tenn. Dem.

It adds a pregnant person has a right to continue a pregnancy or to terminate it. Michigan GOP Collapsing? https://theheartlandcollective.com/2024/01/09/michigan-gop-is-collapsing-in-on-itself/From article:Jason Roe, a former executive director of the Michigan Republican party, said an effective new leader could help the party “right the ship” before the November 2024 elections, but that a drawn-out fight in court could hinder that progress.To date, the chaos engulfing the party has prevented it from fulfilling its traditional role of organizing and fundraising for Republican candidates, former party officials have said.“I think the chaos is far from over,” Roe said. “If this turns out to be a binding vote, I don't think she [Karamo] or her supporters will go quietly and there will probably continue to be skirmishes throughout the election cycle.” Boebert Says Bye Bye - Tucks Tail And Seeks Easier Path Back To DCIn a move stunning no one, CO GOP Rep.

The contaminated creek will finally have warning signs almost 75 years later.From articleThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in a statement Monday that it was working with the Environmental Protection Agency to add signs along the creek to help it monitor areas “that may pose a risk if disturbed.”Coldwater Creek has been contaminated for decades with radioactive waste left over from the World War II-era effort to build an atomic bomb. But though the creek winds through some of St. Louis' busiest suburbs and past public parks and schools, the federal government had resisted calls to post signs warning visitors of the contamination.“This is decades of potential exposure that could have been prevented that they drug their feet on,” said Dawn Chapman, co-founder of Just Moms STL, an organization formed to advocate for communities affected by St. Louis-area radioactive waste.Despite the delays, Chapman said she's thankful that the signs are finally going to be installed. The St. Louis area has long struggled with a radioactive waste problem. Uranium for the Manhattan Project, the name given to the effort to develop the first atomic bomb, was refined in downtown St. Louis.After World War II, radioactive waste left over from those efforts was trucked to the St. Louis airport and dumped — some on the open ground and some in barrels — next to Coldwater Creek. As early as 1949, Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, the company that refined uranium for the federal government, was aware the waste could escape the barrels it was stored in and contaminate the nearby creekThe Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry concluded in 2019 that children and adults who played in or near Coldwater Creek or lived in its floodplain between the 1960s and 1990s may have been exposed to radioactive materials that raise the risk of certain cancers. The agency — part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — recommended signs be placed along the creek to warn residents of the potential exposure risk.The Army Corps said there was nothing specific that caused the agency to change its mind on installing the signs. The decision was “driven by our commitment to continuous improvement,” George Stringham, a spokesman for the Army Corps, said in an email. Stringham said the Army Corps would “continue to prioritize the health and safety of the community.”Iowa - Gov. proposed budget is a major cut for higher edhttps://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/01/10/gov-kim-reynolds-budget-for-state-universities-falls-30m-short-of-regents-request/From article: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has proposed allocating about $30 million less than what the Iowa Board of Regents requested for itself and the universities next year, though each of the universities would receive some increase in state funding.Reynolds' budget proposal, released Monday, included recommendations for administering money from the state's general fund and other sources to the regents, the University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State University. The regents requested just over $609 million from the state's general fund and about $40 million from other state sources. Reynolds recommended allocating almost $619 million.Colorado - Congresswoman Diana DeGette introduces discharge petition to ban high-capacity magazines:https://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/degette-house-vote-high-capacity-magazine-ban/From article:U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette used a mechanism in the House of Representatives that would force a vote on a bill without leadership's approval to bring forward a vote on a gun safety bill. DeGette, who represents Denver in Congress, alongside House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force Chair Mike Thompson, a California Democrat, filed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Keep Americans Safe Act. The bill would ban large capacity magazines - those that can hold 30-100 rounds - with a few exceptions and will likely struggle to get through the Republican-controlled House.DeGette said high-capacity magazines were used in all of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the country. She said the only purpose of these magazines is to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time. “These events continue to re-traumatize our community and our nation, because no community has been untouched by this deadly epidemic,” DeGette said. “In mass shootings with four or more people killed between 2015 and 2022, high-capacity magazines led to more than twice as many people being killed and nearly 10 times as many people being wounded per incident on average.”The petition requires 218 signatures to force a vote on the floor, and with 213 Democrats in the House, at least five Republicans would need to sign. DeGette said she thinks some Republicans in the House represent districts impacted by mass shootings and may be under pressure from their constituents to ban high-capacity magazines. U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, a Centennial Democrat, joined DeGette and members of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol after DeGette filed the petition and applauded Colorado leadership for its gun safety measures, particularly banning high-capacity magazines. “In Colorado, we are fortunate to have a state legislature focused on gun reform when Congress fails to make significant change due to Republican stonewalling over and over again,” Crow said. Crow highlighted several high-profile mass shootings in Colorado where the perpetrator used high capacity magazines: the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting, the 2021 Boulder King Soopers shooting, and the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs. Closing Note: Doing anything this weekend?  @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Post)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Post) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/

George talks about the mysterious piece of metal found in his tire that has caused a problem, plus he learns the "rule" about how fast you can drive on the spare tire.  The conversation veers into parenting and Thanksgiving weekend travel before George discuss the "insanity" plea by the Boulder King Soopers shooter and an odd home burglary incident in Greely where both the homeowner and burglar were shot.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another GOP Debate, another no show by Donald Trump, did it matter?  George talks about the chaotic presentation of the debate with candidates talking over each other constantly.  Did they think it was a radio talk show?  Next, George talks about the remains of Suzanne Morphew being found and the hearing to determine if the Boulder King Soopers shooter is competent to stand trial.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Monday, a tanker carrying road chip oil rolled over on State Road 128, locally known as River Road. 3,800 gallons of chip oil spilled near Big Bend campground. Chip oil is the tar-like substance used to repair cracks in roads. No oil reached the Colorado River, according to Moab Valley Fire Chief TJ Brewer, who led the emergency containment crew. We also hear from our partners at KGNU about the latest updates in the court proceedings of the Boulder King Soopers mass shooting case. Plus, we hear from KDNK about Colorado's efforts to bear-proof their towns.

Do you drive a truck?  During the first segment there is a discussion of what car a new 16-year-old motorist should be driving and how George's son is unsure the SUV dad is gifting him is really what he wants to drive. (like he gets a choice...LOL...kids are so cute sometimes).  This leads to a discovery for Billy about the airflow drag and pickups.  A texter adds some science to the discussion and Billy gets way to excited, but if you have listened you know that's not unusual.  Then its local news including a request for a competency hearing for the Boulder King Soopers shooter after he was recently declared mentally well enough to face charges.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A gun rights group is taking two more northern Colorado cities to court over firearm restrictions passed in response to the Boulder King Soopers shooting. And a judge in Fort Collins has ordered a legal adviser to former president Donald Trump's campaign to testify in front of a grand jury.

The hour starts with a mention of the Disney brawl and an Alaska Airlines flight that didn't take off from DC to SF. Umm, the Captain and First Officer weren't getting along. President Biden has COVID and sends out a message on social. Then - ahead of tonight's Jan 6th Committee hearing, we play the final nearly 30 minutes of Donald Trump's January 6, 2021 speech in DC. The Boulder King Soopers killer (innocent until proven guilty) deemed incompetent. Again. Next court hearing October 21.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today - A federal class-action lawsuit claims the state has lapsed on its obligation to provide mental health care for kids in need. But first -- We'd like to thank our sponsor, Pinnacol Assurance. Pinnacol provides caring workers' comp insurance. They were also named one of the most community-minded companies in Colorado. Pinnacol gives back through community investments, scholarships and apprenticeships. At Pinnacol, caring is more than kindness. It's their powertool. See how they put care to work at Pinnacol dot com.   But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we're going back to September 8th, 1874 when Franklin Rhoda, a federal surveyor, led a small party along a remote Ute path in the San Juan Mountains. He wrote: “One thing very peculiar about this particular part of the country is the deathlike stillness that almost oppresses one in passing through it”.   The expedition, which started in the Summer of 1874 would be completed in October of that year. Along the way, they would climb Uncompahgre peak, Mount Sneffels, and Mount Wilson.   Now, our feature story.   Colorado Sun reporter Jen Brown spoke to Jesse Paul about her reporting on a federal class-action lawsuit claiming the state has lapsed on its obligation to provide mental health care for needy children, leaving them to cycle in and out of emergency rooms instead of receiving appropriate long-term care.   The lawsuit so far includes three anonymous plaintiffs, all teenagers who have for months or years been checked into hospital emergency rooms and psychiatric facilities but then refused step-down residential treatment because no beds are available.   To learn more visit us at coloradosun.com   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   A judge Tuesday ordered a mental health evaluation for the man accused of killing 10 people at a Boulder King Soopers in March. The evaluation will be used to determine whether the suspect is competent to stand trial. The judge set an Oct. 19 hearing to hear the results of the evaluation.   Interest in accessory dwelling units -- also known by terms like granny flats, mother-in-law apartments or carriage houses -- is growing in Denver, where the housing market is tight and prices are sharply rising. That momentum is reflected in the rebounding number of rezoning requests, which took a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2010, Denver issued only two permits for such units. In 2019, the number spiked to 71 before the coronavirus shutdown saw a dropoff to 54 in 2020.   The Colorado Supreme Court will not consider a case that questions ski areas' use of waivers to protect themselves from lawsuits filed by injured skiers. Attorneys fighting for skier safety fear the end of legal challenges to now-ubiquitous resort liability waivers may mean the death of the venerable Ski Safety Act.   For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Thursday July 1st.   Today - More than $8 million has been collected from donations following the Boulder King Soopers shooting. But how is the money reaching those who were affected?   But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to July 1st, 1933 when The Bent County seat of Las Animas reached a temperature of 114 degrees. It was Colorado's highest recorded temperature at the time.    Now, our feature story.   In the hours after a gunman shot and killed 10 people inside a Boulder King Soopers in March, money for the victims began pouring in.   Now, three months later, more than $8 million has been collected, The Sun's John Ingold reports. But what remains uncertain is how much of that money has actually reached those affected by the tragedy. The largest fund collecting donations has not made clear how it decides where the money will go.   Ingold talks with reporter Olivia Prentzel about the donation distribution process and debate surrounding it.    To read Ingold's story, go to coloradosun.com.   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   Colorado is one step closer toward having a Front Range passenger train system as Governor Jared Polis has signed a bill that creates a new taxing district to fund the project. Funding has been the largest hurdle in making a Front Range train system a reality. Senate Bill 238 will help generate the billions of dollars needed in startup costs. It establishes a 17-member board whose job is to get the new train on track. That board will have the authority to enact a sales tax of up to 8 cents on every $10 purchase to pay for the train.   Thornton can now start building a segment of a water pipeline in Weld County, even though the Weld County Board of Commissioners told the city “no” two months ago. Thornton City Council on Tuesday night unanimously approved a resolution that overrides Weld County's denial of a permit to build a segment of the Thornton Water Project across private property in Weld County. The 74-mile project will deliver water from a reservoir near Fort Collins, nearly doubling the city's current water supply. While the city council was expected to approve the resolution, several Weld County residents were at Tuesday night's meeting to protest.   The Biden administration said Wednesday it is hiring more federal firefighters and immediately raising their pay -- to $15 an hour. This is happening as officials ramp up response efforts during a severe drought that has set the stage for another summer of intense, destructive wildfires across the West. President Biden made the announcement during a virtual meeting, which included at least eight Western governors, including Governor Jared Polis. The president's plan would add or convert to full-time nearly 1,000 firefighters across a host of agencies.   For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Tuesday June 22nd.    Today -  As a wave of Coloradans and have demanded access to ballots, the state's Secretary of State has put new rules into place limiting the ability for election office employees to get official voting equipment.   But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we're taking you back to June 22nd, 1850 when Lewis Ralston made the first recorded discovery of gold on a tributary of Clear Creek in what is now Jefferson County. He had spotted a few flakes of gold in a stream that now bears his name.   Now, our feature story.   Colorado's Secretary of State has implemented new rules limiting access to official voting equipment to employees of a county election office, the Secretary of State's office, a voting system vendor or be an appointed election judge. It comes as a wave of citizens and outside interests have demanded clerks provide access to ballots and even voting equipment. Colorado Sun contributor Sandra Fish and reporter Thy Vo talk about the new rules and how people are reacting.   To read Sandra's story, visit coloradosun.com.   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   Three people, including a police officer, were killed Monday afternoon in a shooting near the library in old town Arvada. Few details were released, but an Arvada police spokesman said in addition to the veteran cop, the suspect and another person died. The police officer is the second cop to be killed in a shooting in Colorado this year. The first was an officer killed during the mass shooting in a Boulder King Soopers store in March.   The Colorado Supreme Court has rejected a ballot measure on animal cruelty, ruling that the question seeking to define common ranching and farming practices as sex acts with animals violates a clause in the state constitution. The court found that the ballot question violated the single-subject ruling that requires such measures to deal with a single topic. The rejected measure would have made artificial insemination against the law and also required that ranch animals get to live 25% of their lifespan before getting slaughtered.    A $16 million upgrade to a single mile of metro Denver's Cherry Creek Regional Trail is nearing completion. The project fixed a popular section of the 40-mile regional trail where high water had cut into the mud and gouged 20 feet below the top of the banks. The expensive project restored the banks with grading and terracing, added a walking path to ease conflict between pedestrians and cyclists, and put four new crossover bridges in place. The repaired section is expected to open later this summer.   For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up from the Colorado Sun. It’s Monday May 10th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories.    Today -- The Suncor refinery in Commerce City is currently renewing their air pollution permit. But whistleblowers claim that the permit is based on an illegal, and now retired, memo.   Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today we take you back to May 10th, 2012 when trucks hauled more than 10 tons of molybdenum ore out of the Climax Mine at Fremont Pass. The shipment marked the rebirth of one of Colorado’s most successful and storied mines.     Now, our feature story.    The Suncor refinery in Commerce City is in the process of renewing their air pollution permit through the state Air Pollution Control Division. But new allegations from some employees within the agency indicate the permit that’s been proposed is based on a now-retired memo that the whistleblowers argue was illegal. Reporter Michael Booth talks with Lucy Haggard about what’s happening.     To read the full story, go to coloradosun.com.   Thanks for listening. Finally, here are a few stories you should know about today:   Seven people were killed early Sunday morning when a gunman opened fire on a birthday party in Colorado Springs. Police said the suspected shooter was a boyfriend of one of the female victims, and he shot himself after shooting six other people. Police had not released the names of the victims as of Sunday. https://coloradosun.com/2021/05/09/colorado-springs-mass-shooting-birthday-party/    Colorado lawmakers have decided against pursuing a bill this legislative session to impose a waiting period for firearm purchases. Ten states and the District of Columbia mandate a waiting period, which proponents say mainly helps prevent suicides. Democrats, who control both chambers of the Colorado statehouse, say they considered a waiting period bill, but didn’t feel confident enough in the policy to introduce it this year. Legislators had already planned on a slate of gun legislation, but they say the shooting in March at a Boulder King Soopers reshaped their focus.   More than 100 Colorado nursing homes that experienced COVID-19 outbreaks both paid fines and received financial bonuses tied to infection rates. More than 1,000 people died at those facilities in 2020. Some of the issues cited against the facilities included not wearing masks, not washing hands and failing to notify the state or federal government of a viral outbreak. As of March 2021, more than 2,500 coronavirus deaths in Colorado were residents of health care facilities like nursing homes or assisted living.  For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

美国是世界民主和自由大国，结果竟然发生「一周内第二起的枪击案...」震惊世界。就在本周一，美国科罗拉多州博尔德（Boulder）一家名为King Soopers的超市发生了大规模枪击案，造成10人死亡，包括第一位抵达现场却不幸殉职的警察。警方在案发后已经逮捕一名嫌犯，但具体的犯案细节——动机与目的、是否一人犯案、与King Soopers超市是否有过节等——仍在调查当中。此次发生的超市枪击案是继3月16日的亚特兰大按摩店枪击案之后，短短一周之内发生的第二起大规模枪击杀人事件；两起悲剧接连发生之后，除了人心惶惶，也让长期在美国社会引起巨大分歧与对立，也挑战拜登团队的应对措施，同时也再次挑起“到底为什么美国就是管不好枪枝的问题“？

Senator John Hickenlooper updates us on life in the US Senate, the COVID relief bill, his thoughts on the filibuster, and whether he'll take Jason to Area 51 as part of his new role as Chair of the Space and Science Subcommittee.*Note: Our interview with Senator Hickenlooper ended before news of the shooting at the Boulder King Soopers appeared on social media, which is why we don't mention it in the interview. On Monday evening, Senator Hickenlooper tweeted :"They were just grocery shopping.I can't imagine what the families of these Coloradans are experiencing. My heart goes out to them.We don't know all the details yet, but we DO know our country has a horrific problem with gun violence. We need federal action. Now."
