  • For days, headlines called it “historic.” A fragile truce between Israel and Hamas. A moment when, finally, both sides seemed to blink not out of compassion, but exhaustion. The deal was meant to quiet the skies, open borders for aid, and begin the long road back from carnage. Now, predictably, it’s falling apart. Israel says

  • Mayor Mike Johnston is asking Denver voters to open the city’s wallet yet again this time for a so-called “Vibrant Denver” bond package that sounds more like a marketing campaign than a rescue plan for a city in crisis.
