<\/p>\nYesterday was Giving Tuesday, and also the last day of November, and had I not already known that, I would have deduced it from my email inbox, which was well over 200 by 3:00 pm, and may even have broken 300 by midnoght. Next Tuesday will be a little heavy too, but not like yesterday. It’s only “Colorado Gives” Day.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – Hawley and Cruz were the only two senators to object to certification of Joe Biden\u2019s clear victory in the 2020 election results, citing (with zero evidence) supposed concerns about the election\u2019s integrity. That was the same baseless, toxic nonsense then-President Donald Trump had been spewing since before the election. Such talk whipped up the mob of Trump loyalists to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6.

\nQuote – The type of volcanoes found in the southwest are also different from those of the Pacific Northwest. While scientists monitor Mount Saint Helens and other volcanoes for activity that could signal another eruption, Valentine said the future eruptions in the southwest are unlikely to come from the same spot, or vent, where past eruptions occurred. This makes monitoring for future eruptions a bit more challenging.

\nQuote – The court has heard cases on specific types of abortion laws, weighing in on whether different types of restrictions and regulations violate that \u201cundue burden\u201d standard. But this case poses a different kind of question. It\u2019s an outright challenge to the core protections established in 1973. In its legal filings, the state of Mississippi has argued that the court should overturn Roe v. Wade entirely and allow states to individually determine whether abortion remains legal or not.
