Mother moose found dead in Steamboat Springs, young calves brought to wildlife rehabilitation

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

On Thursday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife discovered a dead mother moose in the Brooklyn neighborhood on the east side of Steamboat Springs. David Rehak Suma, CPW’s district wildlife manager, said the cause of death has not yet been determined. He took one of the moose’s lymph nodes out to send to a lab for chronic wasting disease testing and will continue doing tests on-site to determine the cause. Results from the lab may not come back for around 10 days. “There are no obvious signs of trauma, so no obvious signs that it was hit by a car or killed by somebody,” Rehak Suma said. “How we found it does indicate it found a place to lay down before it died, so probably something internal, but no real clear idea other than that.”The mother moose’s death leaves two young moose calves behind who were captured by CPW and currently are being cared for by a wildlife rehabilitator.

Grassley on Biden audio recordings: ‘Maybe they don’t exist’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

By Annie Grayer and Sara Murray | CNNSen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa claimed on the Senate floor earlier this week that the foreign national who allegedly bribed then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter has 17 audio recordings of their conversations but questioned whether those tapes even existed in an interview with CNN days later.“I don’t even know where they are. I just know they exist, because of what the report says. Now, maybe they don’t exist. But how will I know until the FBI tells us, are they showing us their work?” Grassley said Thursday.And Grassley is not the only Republican questioning the validity of the supposed tapes.House Oversight Chairman James Comer of Kentucky, who is overseeing the GOP investigation into the Biden family business dealings and has been quick to make the alleged bribery scheme a focus of his work, admitted to not knowing whether the tapes were legitimate.“We don’t know if they’re legit or not, but we know that the foreign national claims he ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

California lawmakers met their June 15 deadline Thursday and passed a state budget bill that includes provisions to bail out transit agencies facing a “fiscal cliff” with federal COVID-19 aid running out — and ensures state lawmakers will get their paychecks.Now the question is whether Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose $306.5 billion proposed total budget unveiled in May didn’t include a transit bailout, will sign on. Lawmakers are optimistic something can be negotiated over the next few weeks before the new fiscal year begins in July.“I say in the next 12 days transportation will stay there,” said Sen. Dave Cortese, a Democrat representing San Jose.Newsom’s office had no response Thursday. But on Monday, a day after lawmakers in the Senate and Assembly reached accord over their budget bill, the governor’s office said “we recognize the role transit plays in the state and have welcomed conversations with the Legislature on the subject.R...

GLAAD: Twitter is worst social media for LGBTQ+ safety

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

By Barbara Ortutay | Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO — All major social media platforms do poorly at protecting LGBTQ+ users from hate speech and harassment — especially those who are transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming, the advocacy group GLAAD said Thursday. But Twitter is the worst.In its annual Social Media Safety Index, GLAAD gave Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter low or failing scores, saying the platforms don’t do enough to keep their users safe. That said, most improved from a year ago.Twitter, which was acquired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk last October, was the only exception. GLAAD’s scorecard called it “the most dangerous platform for LGBTQ people” and the only one that saw its scores decline from last year — to 33% from 45% a year ago.Twitter’s communications staff was eradicated after Musk took over the company and for months inquiries to the press office have been answered only with an automated reply of a poop emoji, ...
