Governor Polis wants to build a bridge — a long winding walkway that will stretch from the steps of the State Capitol, over four lanes of traffic on Lincoln Street, and all the way to Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park. And he wants it built before Colorado's 150th birthday next summer. But how much will it cost? Who will pay for it? Will it match the classic architecture and City Beautiful Movement-era park design? And does anyone else besides the governor want this walkway in the first place? 9News' Kyle Clark tried to answer these questions and he joins host Bree Davies to share what he found — and how he feels about the governor's plans for a legacy project.For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.Follow us on Instagram: @citycastdenverChat with other listeners on reddit: r/CityCastDenverSupport City Cast Denver by becoming a member: membership.citycast.fmWhat do you think?

Voters in Douglas County are deciding whether to become a home rule county. With ballots due June 24, the issue is stirring up a lot of strong feelings, amidst competing claims about what it would mean for this fast-growing part of Colorado. County commissioners say home rule status would give Douglas County more legal standing to fight back against Democratic policies coming out of the State Capitol. But the experience of Colorado's only two existing home rule counties shows that home rule is more complicated, and less far reaching than they may hope.On this episode of Purplish, CPR's Stephanie Wolf joins CPR's Bente Birkeland to break down home rule: from how the idea got its start in an armed conflict on the steps of Denver's city hall, to the role it's playing today in the fight over housing policy.You can read the full story here.Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state.

The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Modernization Act is on the move again at the State Capitol. Sen. Patrick Testin, Chair of the Senate Agriculture and Revenue Committee says this legislation could relax some of the human resource issues being faced in Wisconsin, especially rural communities. Under APRN, qualified registered nurses would be able to practice independently and without the need for a collaborative agreement with a physician – so long as the cases do not fall outside their areas of expertise. Testin says the bills language has been circulating in Madison for over a decade. He hopes this time, with bipartisan support, it will cross the finish line and be signed by Governor Tony Evers.

//The Wire//2300Z June 14, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: CONGRESSWOMAN ASSASSINATED, SENATOR WOUNDED IN MINNESOTA. ASSAILANT REMAINS AT LARGE. NATIONWIDE 'NO KINGS' PROTESTS REMAIN LARGELY LOW-INTENSITY DURING DAYLIGHT, THOUGH SEVERAL INCIDENTS REPORTED. NATIONWIDE COUNTER-ICE PROTESTS REMAIN MORE KINETIC.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The Israeli/Iranian War continues as before, with both nations continuing to trade missiles overnight. Israeli forces have conducted more strikes targeting Iranian Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) production facilities, and Iranian forces have responded by striking the POL refinery in Haifa.-HomeFront-USA: Most of the "No Kings" protests did go ahead as planned, though as expected turnout was comparatively low throughout the morning in most areas. During the daytime protest events, most of the participants at most of the "No Kings" protests have been elderly, which resulted in most of the No Kings events remaining relatively low-impact.However, many Counter-ICE protests were conducted separately around the nation, many of which became kinetic. Standard cases of vandalism, civil unrest, and violence were reported in Los Angles, Chicago, NYC, Seattle, and several other major cities.Minnesota: Overnight, an individual posing as a police officer conducted multiple assassination attempts at the homes of two local politicians in Minneapolis. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were ambushed at their home in Champlin by a gunman who posed as a police officer. Both were wounded during the attack. Later that same night, State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were ambushed in their home in Brooklyn Park. Both Hortman and her husband were killed in the attack.Due to the similarities in their names, and these incidents taking place in close proximity to each other, the full casualty count regarding these attacks is as follows:Senator John Hoffman - Wounded at the scene in Champlin, expected to surviveYvette Hoffman (his wife) - Wounded at the scene in Champlin, expected to surviveRepresentative Melissa Hortman - Killed at the scene in Brooklyn ParkMark Hortman (her husband) - Critically wounded at scene in Brooklyn Park, later died at the hospital.The assailant remains at large, and a manhunt is underway in the Brooklyn Park area to locate the suspect. The suspect's vehicle (which was camouflaged to appear as a police cruiser) was recovered at the scene of the second series of murders. Inside the vehicle, were stacks of handwritten leaflets marked "No Kings", referencing today's planned protest events. Also found inside the vehicle was a hit list referencing targeting efforts of other politicians, however the details of this document have not yet been released.Texas: This morning a fire was reported at the Marathon Refinery in Texas City. In Austin, the State Capitol was evacuated this afternoon, after an unidentified threat was presented to lawmakers. As of this afternoon, no amplifying information has been released regarding this incident.Virginia: A vehicle ramming attack was attempted in Culpeper, as an individual drove his vehicle into one of the "No Kings" protests that was dispersing. Local authorities state that Joseph Checklick Jr. intentionally accelerated into the crowd, striking one person in the process. The assailant was arrested at the scene.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: At the moment, the assassinations (and attempts) in Minnesota are highly controversial topics and speculation does not often make the situation any better. However, in this case some speculation is needed to convey the potential future threats that may be ongoing due to the fugitive remaining at large. When time is of the essence, speculation that aids in the success of an investigation is doctrinal

On Tuesday, June 10 , the New York Immigration Coalition elected officials, allies, and immigrant New Yorkers rallied at West Capitol Park in support of the New York For All Act. In the final days of the legislative session, immigrant communities across the state are sounding the alarm: without immediate action from Albany, families remain at risk of being torn apart through harmful collusion between local police and ICE, which the New York for All Act would prohibit. The rally came as President Trump has mobilized the National Guard and the Marines to suppress protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles that have been targeting workplaces. After the rally, several dozen people blockaded Washington Avenue in front of the entrance to the State Capitol. The City decided not to arrest the protestors and the blockade continued for several hours, causing major traffic backups in downtown Albany. We hear from a number of individuals who joined the blockade, including several representatives from the Columbia Sanctuary Movement, Rachel Kumpalich, John Mark Rosenthal of Climate Over profits, and Mickey Deforna of Rochester New Pride Agenda.

In the first episode of our summer series recapping the 2024 Christians Engaged Conference, we kick things off with a moving message from Arkansas State Representative Alyssa Brown—the youngest person ever elected to the Arkansas Legislature. Just two years ago, she joined our Young Adult 1630 Initiative and took a life-changing trip to Washington, D.C. What followed was a miracle: a journey from intercessory prayer to stepping into the race herself—filing with just 22 minutes to spare—and ultimately, winning with over 63% of the vote.Alyssa shares how God called her to confront fear, challenge the status quo, and embrace a bold, biblical leadership.

In his heart, he heard Jesus calling to him in the dark hours of the morning: a divine appointment.These quiet moments built a lifelong rhythm of seeking God before stepping into ministry.This level of authority is available to any believer who consistently walks with Jesus.[40:46] Sammy: “His presence rubs off of us. His authority rubs off of us—because we love Him and we spend time with Him.”[45:43] The Miraculous Healing Power of MinistryReagan shares a powerful testimony from a man at her church who was freed from depression during one of Sammy's visits.The moment he raised his hand during prayer, the burden lifted, and he heard the voice of Jesus within his heart.[47:54] Reagan: “He could hear the voice of Jesus say, ‘I love you.'”That single encounter changed his life, sustaining him through personal and financial challenges with peace and clarity.Sammy highlights how obedience—even a small gesture—can unlock breakthrough and healing through the Holy Spirit.[57:29] Upcoming Event: Merge Twin CitiesMerge USA is a call to reclaim the Twin Cities for Christ, starting in Minneapolis.Sammy explains the prophetic journey that began during the George Floyd riots and grew into a regional revival movement.From June 2–7, thousands will engage in prayer, fasting, and outreach, culminating in a massive event at the State Capitol.Artists like Naomi Raine, Hulvey, Josiah Queen, and other global evangelists will gather to celebrate God's holy work in the city.[1:04:24] A Prayer of HealingReagan and Sammy close with gratitude for God's power; for revival already happening; for every listener tuning in.A powerful time of prayer is coming to break off depression, fear, and financial lack in Jesus' name.Sammy blesses the audience with healing, encouragement, and supernatural alignment with God's will.As the faithful, we can do more than merely observe revival; we can participate in it, starting with a simple yes to God, then by being kind to all those around us.About SammySammy Wanyonyi is a global evangelist, apostolic leader, and founder of Shine In The World Ministries—a Gospel movement reaching the nations with healing, deliverance, and revival.
