A tricky headline in today's Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reads,"City, county to ‘close the chapter’ on 29 Road interchange," but the actual article says the exact opposite of the headline. Despite being voted down by a wide margin, the project is far from dead.

Trump is removing protections from poor and minority communities.

Trump says the tanking stock market "doesn't concern me," but he feels sorry for Musk, so he bought a Tesla and let Musk display a bunch of Teslas in front of the White House.

Tesla stock, year to date:

The oligarchs flew too close to the sun—now their stock prices are plummeting into the sea.

I'm just wondering why Trump declined to rule out a recession. He lies about everything else without a second thought. Why not that?

Before Trump’s tariffs set off the economic downturn, he applied for two trademarks under his name: One is related to a new business venture aimed at merchandising the presidency through virtual reality&NFT trading platforms. Another was to renew his trademark on Trump: The Game. This isn't ethical

Every commercial airline flight uses NOAA data to avoid turbulence, steer clear of dangerous storms & save on fuel. It's estimated that for every $1 spent on NOAA, the private sector & airlines save $100. Cutting NOAA is not wise from a safety standpoint, nor is it cost-effective.

"The only vehicle Tesla has launched since the 2020 Model Y is the Cybertruck. The pickup had sales of 38,965 units last year, Cox Automotive estimates, well below the 250,000 that Musk initially predicted Tesla would produce by 2025..." www.reuters.com/business/aut...

In Nov. 2024, Mesa County residents voted down a City/County proposal to fund a new interchange on I-70 at 29 Road by a resounding margin of 56.4%-43.4%. Despite the strong "no" vote on the project, it isn't dead and the City of Grand Junction is pressing ahead: annelandmanblog.com/2025/03/29-r...

Things aren't going very well for #Tesla right now.

CD-3 House Rep. Jeff Hurd will hold a Tele Town Hall meeting on Thurs., 3/11 @ 6 p.m. You have to call to give his office your name and number and ask to be put on the list, and they will call you and give you a code to use to ask questions. The number to call is (719) 696-6968.

In today's NY Times:

Of course it is. The lies are now even more bloated and gassy than they were in Trump 1.0. Those of us who have a sense of smell are holding our noses, while those with no sense are breathing it in deeply.

Forcing 240,000 legal Ukrainian refugees to return to their country amid Putin’s brutal invasion is a shameful decision that flies in the face of America’s values.

She stuffed him in a locker with this.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Trump is making tens of millions of dollars off the presidency by charging people to dine with him. www.wired.com/story/people...

We are in really bad trouble.

DOGE needs to start tracking & reporting all the money the federal government is having to spend on fighting the onslaught of lawsuits brought to halt Trump's wild, squirrel-like efforts to dismantle the federal government.

Tariffs are on, then delayed, then on again, then some are delayed for a month for some things but not others. It's like the government is being run by a f*cking squirrel.

Trump’s address to Congress was a long-winded, dishonest, & authoritarian spectacle. He criticized Biden, falsely claimed economic victories & played the bully by removing Rep. Al Green for protesting. But more concerning than his rhetoric is the broader impact of his policies. Jen Rubin explains.

Thinking of buying a new car? Better act fast. Kelley Blue Book says Trump’s tariffs could raise the U.S. price of an average new car – already approaching $49,000 – by $3,000 or more. The price of full-size pickup trucks could shoot up by $10,000. #TrumpTarrifs

Now, more than ever. #CD3UnHurd

When Jeff Hurd was running for CD3 house rep in Colorado, he talked to all kinds of people in his district because he wanted their votes. Now he ignores hundreds of ppl at town hall meetings when his constituents REALLY need to hear from him. www.cpr.org/2025/02/27/i...

Great, but who's going to enforce it?

First Elon Musk did his Nazi salute At an inauguration event, then Steve Bannon did Nazi salute at the CPAC conference, obviously dog whistles to White supremacists. It appears Republicans are working to normalize Nazi salutes. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/02/colo...

Parents, be forewarned: measles can KILL your kids if they aren't vaccinated. The majority of cases in the TX outbreak have occurred among unvaccinated people. Prevention is so simple. Consider being safe instead of sorry. abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

This is the way Elon Musk conducts business, and now he's running the country. It's going to take a whole lot of duct tape to fix what he has bollixed up. mashable.com/article/tesl...

Trump and Musk are trying to get rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because they want to commit, and enable their billionaire buddies to commit fraud and theft. There's no other reason.

The Colorado Republican Party is enthralled with convicted felons, especially ones who've been convicted of defrauding their own most ardent supporters: First Trump, then Tina Peters, and now Steve Bannon. annelandmanblog.com/2025/02/conv...

Measles is one of the most communicable diseases known. It can remain active in the air for up to 2 hours. If someone infected with measles walks into a room & then out of it & you walk into the same room 2 hours later, you'll get measles. There is no treatment, only vaccines to prevent it.
