Crowds gathered in Central Park in Boulder, some wearing gas masks to dramatize pollution and environmental concerns. Long before c…

Let me get this straight. The Denver Nuggets are now down three games to two after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves, 125-113, at the Pepsi Center last night. But Minnesota was without the injured Anthony Edwards (knee), the injured Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles), and Naz Reid, who left the game with an injury after just 12 minutes. Meaning, if the injured Aaron Gordon can return for Game Six, the Nuggets can force a Game Seven, allowing the return of the injured Peyton Watson. • The Timberwolves went from a gentleman’s sweep to seeing gentle men weep. • Anthony Edwards ha…

Up until about a month ago, it looked like Eric Swalwell would be the next Governor of California. He’d served in the House of Representatives since 2012, and during each of his election cycles, he handily defeated every Republican challenger. Swalwell announced a Presidential run in 2019.
