I'm not siding with Polis, not at all, but he didn't just change his mind over nothing. Boebert is pissed.

President Donald Trump is taking aim at new areas of Colorado: those that overwhelmingly voted in 2024 to send him back to the White House.

This week, Trump vetoed a bill that would have provided funding to complete a pipeline to carry clean water to communities in southeastern Colorado. Last week, he denied disaster funding to help northwestern Colorado recover from wildfires and southwestern Colorado recover from flooding.

The decisions come as Trump intensifies his war against Colorado over the state’s refusal to release Tina Peters from prison.
