Ken Buck backs new House speaker despite election denialism — the reason he opposed others’ bids

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:15:00 GMT

Colorado Congressman Ken Buck drew a line in the sand last week, refusing to support one U.S. House speaker candidate — fellow Republican Jim Jordan of Ohio — over his 2020 election denialism.But on Wednesday, Buck joined with all other Republicans present to elect another speaker candidate who also had worked to overturn the 2020 presidential election and prevent the certification of Democrat Joe Biden as the winner over Donald Trump.Buck told CNN Tuesday night that now-Speaker Mike Johnson, a fourth-term congressman from Louisiana, wasn’t perfect. But he drew a distinction with Jordan, arguing that Johnson did not engage in efforts to overturn the election at the same level that Jordan did.“Jim Jordan was involved in all of the — not all of (it), but most of the post-election activity. Mike Johnson was not,” Buck said. Buck previously had opposed Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s speaker bid because Scalise wouldn’t say if the 2020 ele...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:15:00 GMT

One of Rocky Mountain National Park’s wheelchair- and stroller-friendly trails has been updated to improve accessibility for visitors.The Sprague Lake Boardwalk Replacement Project was officially completed on Oct. 20 and was funded mostly through recreation fee dollars, plus additional funds from the Rocky Mountain Conservancy.The flat Sprague Lake Loop is about 0.7 miles and takes visitors around one of the most popular lakes in the park for hiking, fishing and seeing wildlife, all while under views of the Continental Divide. Its parking lot area has a picnic area and vault toilets, as well as an accessible backcountry campsite.During the 2023 summer season, National Park Service staff and partners worked to replace a 230-foot section of the trail, which included a boardwalk built in 200 that brought visitors over riparian habitat along the southwest shore. That boardwalk had “outlived its lifespan,” the NPS said, and the project to replace it would not only addre...

Avs star Nathan MacKinnon wants to play with Sidney Crosby at 2026 Olympics: “That would be awesome”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:15:00 GMT

PITTSBURGH — Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby, the co-prides of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, have arguably the most famous friendship in the NHL.Every time they face each other in a league game, MacKinnon’s reverence for Crosby as a kid and their long-standing close friendship that grew as he became a star with the Colorado Avalanche is a popular storyline. MacKinnon mentioned multiple times Wednesday after practice ahead of the latest showdown that his resume doesn’t quite stack up to Crosby’s.One part of MacKinnon’s hockey CV that can’t compare to Crosby’s is not his fault. MacKinnon has never played for Canada in a senior best-on-best tournament, in part because the NHL decided against sending its players to the 2018 Winter Olympics, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the league to pull out in 2022, and there hasn’t been a World Cup of Hockey since 2016.That is something that MacKinnon wants to change, and he’d very much like the op...
