Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is raising eyebrows among campaign finance experts after more money from his podcast was donated to his super PAC last month. Cruz signed a lucrative deal with iHeartMedia to distribute his podcast, “The Verdict With Ted Cruz,” in 2022 but iHeartMedia has since funneled $786,000 of that to Cruz’s Truth and Courage PAC. The most recent donation was $156,186 in May, according to new FEC filings. Super PACs can accept corporate donations but federal candidates can't “solicit, receive, direct, transfer, or spend funds” on behalf of those fundraising entities. “This is not an arrangement we’ve seen...

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
