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.

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.

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.
