Democratic socialists oust another House incumbent and other takeaways from Colorado’s primaries

Democratic socialists struck another blow against the Democratic establishment on Tuesday in Colorado.,  29-year-old Melat Kiros  defeats incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette, who was first elected before Kiros was born, in a primary.

Kiros was the third progressive challenger to defeat a sitting House member in eight days, after two more won last week in New York.

The 29-year-old DSA-backed challenger ousted Rep. Diana DeGette, one of Colorado’s longest-serving Democrats, in the primary for the 1st District.

No Trumper she was an impeachment manager
Kiros launched her campaign nearly a year ago, framing it from the outset as a generational reckoning with the Democratic establishment. She cast DeGette, a longtime progressive who served as an impeachment manager against President Donald Trump, as a corporate-backed incumbent who was out of step with her constituents, and called for a new era of progressive leadership in Congress.
  She's 68. He's 29 so age issue too.

I liked Degette...

A fourth appeals court rejects ICE mass detention policy
A unanimous panel suggests the expanding legal fight is bound for the Supreme Court.

Denver based 10th circuit. 5 circuits ruled this, 2 for Trump and 4 pending

A unanimous three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the Trump administration’s unprecedented expansion of mass detention relies on an inaccurate reading of decades-old laws that had never been used for the breathtaking scope of the Trump administration’s mass detention effort.

“In our circuit, thousands of noncitizens are likely subject to mandatory detention under the Government’s newfound statutory reading and policy,” wrote Federico, joined by Obama appointee Robert Bacharach and Reagan appointee David Ebel.

Progressive Manny Rutinel wins primary in battleground Colorado House district
Rutinel bested moderate former state Rep. Shannon Bird and will take on GOP Rep. Gabe Evans in the 8th District in November.

Progressive state Rep. Manny Rutinel will take on GOP Rep. Gabe Evans this fall, setting up a contentious general election in one of Democrats’ top pickup targets — and giving Republicans the candidate they hoped to face.

Rutinel defeated the more-moderate former state Rep. Shannon Bird in Tuesday’s primary for Colorado’s 8th District, bolstered by big spending from his campaign and its allies, including prominent Latino groups that see Rutinel as the best candidate to court the key voting bloc back to Democrats. The district is 40 percent Latino.

"...The Spanish government has quietly decided to block the use of Palantir in new critical state systems and strategic public companies, despite the firm already having contracts with parts of the Spanish administration
and defence establishment. The move is an internal political and procurement directive discouraging ministries and state-owned companies from relying on the American company's technology for sensitive infrastructure.

The rationale is a combination of:

Strategic autonomy concerns: Spain does not want core state capabilities to depend on a US company that is deeply intertwined with US intelligence and defence agencies.

Data sovereignty and security risks: There are concerns over where sensitive government data resides and who could potentially access it.

Geopolitical considerations: Palantir has become politically controversial because of its close links to US national security institutions and its involvement with the Israeli government and military.

Vendor lock-in fears: Once these platforms become embedded in critical systems, replacing them becomes extremely expensive and operationally difficult, something Spain is already experiencing with other strategic technology providers...."

Mexico looking strong

Mexico 2, Ecuador 0
 
No opponent scored on Mexico through first 4 games.
Into Round of 16
 Got dirty toward end with Ecuador knowing they'd lost played dirty and got couple yellow cards late one became red for saying something to opponent hand covering mouth during confrontation. Twice time in tournament player ejected for that so ended with 10 players but just 3-4 minutes left anyway.

In middle game France considered strongest offensive team in it beat Sweden 3-0

I have not had that issue before

The barely hanging in there plant - Catnip which was robust 2 weeks ago, is now almost gone. And the Catgrass which was 3", 2 weeks ago, is now 8". I think cats like catnip! Poor Comet will have to deal. No more catnip plants
