See Bison From Your Car Window On This 11-Mile Wildlife Drive Just Outside Denver
A herd of bison can block your view of the Denver skyline, and it happens closer to downtown than most people expect. There is no long mountain drive, no I-70 traffic, and no entrance fee standing between you and a shaggy, slow-moving traffic jam. Prairie dogs pop up beside the pavement, mule deer graze in the distance, and the whole loop can be done without ever leaving your seat.

» Judge Fears Mental Competency ‘Backsliding’ After Defendant’s Gibberish Comments in Court
DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz ordered a preliminary mental competency examination after a stabbing defendant made a series of nonsensical remarks in court on Nov. 6. Corey Bridges, 32, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, tampering with physical evidence, and threatening to kidnap or injure a person. These charges stem from his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing which occurred on June 7, 2025 at the 1400 block of Morse Street, NE. The victim sustained multiple lacerations to the right side of his neck.

Democrats' 2028 presidential auditions begin in Denver
A who's who of Democratic power players descends on Denver this week to plot the party's future, fresh off its sweeping midterm victories . Why it matters: The gathering gives Democrats' rising stars an early stage to test their 2028 message, and explore whether Colorado's red-to- deep-blue shift could offer a national playbook. Driving the news: The three-day " What's Next " conference, starting Thursday, features dozens of Democratic heavyweights and potential presidential contenders, including House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries , Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro , Texas Sen.-elect James Talarico and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg . Colorado's own Gov.-elect Phil Weiser , U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston round out the lineup. Majority Democrats, a group seeking to shape the party's direction, is organizing the event. The big picture: Colorado's two-decade transformation into a Democratic powerhouse made it a natural host, spokesperson Vidhya Jeyadev told Axios. Organizers want to dissect and pinpoint what worked — and what didn't — in the midterms, and how to turn wins into lasting power. The gathering comes as Democrats debate whether they should double down on progressive policies or tack toward the center heading into 2028.

Colorado voters approve transit tax despite economy
(The Center Square) - Colorado voters approved a sales tax increase to fund a transit project that could cost the state over $1 billion in gross domestic product over the next 10 years. Residents in the Front Range Passenger Rail District voted 56% to 44% in favor of Ballot Issue 7A, which would create a 0.33% sales tax for the district, including 31 cities such as Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Pueblo and Colorado Springs. The Nov. 3 ballot initiative is expected to raise an estimated $295 million annually for the Front Range Passenger Rail District. The extra tax revenue will help the public agency expand its starter rail route between Denver and Fort Collins to Colorado Springs and Pueblo while increasing train frequency across the corridor. The Denver-to-Fort Collins route is expected to start in 2029, while the others are anticipated to begin in 2032. Sal Pace, general manager of the Front Range Passenger Rail District, said Colorado is “one of the most congested states in the country,” especially in the Denver metropolitan area. “On average, people are losing two entire full work weeks every single year being stuck in traffic,” he told The Center Square. The new project will

After Denver foie gras ban, animal rights group plans municipal push
An obscure animal rights group turned a fight over foie gras into a successful Denver ballot campaign to ban an uncommon seasonal delicacy. Why it matters: It's a big win for Pro-Animal Colorado, which now shifts its focus to backing animal rights candidates in next April's municipal election. Context: The measure banning the sale of the dish made through force-feeding ducks or geese led by 36 points, the most recent preliminary results show. The measure doesn't affect personal possession or consumption , or foie gras produced without force-feeding. Threat level: Foie gras is available in fewer than 20 local restaurants. Still, the win shows Denverites care about animal welfare, with results exceeding expectations, Pro-Animal Colorado spokesperson Dani Withaar tells us. Withaar pushed back on suggestions that it's a niche issue: "It really represents something much larger, which is the way that animals are treated and our food system, and especially on factory farms." She credited hundreds of volunteers who educated the public about foie gras production — including campaign signs with images of force-fed animals. Between the lines: Two years ago, the same group unsuccessfully ran two measures to close Denver's only slaughterhouse and end fur sales and manufacturing. The
