White House
President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to preserve the unique American institution of college athletics by restoring order, fairness, and stability. The Order directs Federal agencies to bolster the effectiveness of key college-sports rules on transferring, eligibility, and pay-for-play by evaluating whether violations of such rules render a university unfit for Federal grants and contracts. The Order directs the Administrator of General Services and the Department of Education to increase data collection across college athletics to ensure compliance.
Colorado Governor
Governor Polis and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) announced the first round of wildlife and habitat projects funded through Senate Bill 24-230, which created new production fees on oil and gas development to mitigate the adverse impacts of oil and gas operations on wildlife and habitats. “Colorado is known for our iconic outdoor spaces, recreation, and wildlife viewing. Greenhouse gas emissions have a direct impact on our environment and all who call Colorado home. By investing in protecting habitats for Colorado’s wildlife, we are decreasing our carbon footprint, protecting native species, and keeping Colorado beautiful for generations to come,” said Governor Polis.
Denver Mayor
Mayor Mike Johnston celebrated a victory against the Trump Administration, which sued Denver and Colorado in an attempt to overrule local immigration policies. In May 2025, the Trump Administration sued the City and County of Denver as well as the State of Colorado to compel both bodies to assist with President Trump’s immigration deportation scheme. A judge ruled today that the federal government has no such power to do so and dismissed the Trump Administration’s lawsuit. “Denver will always stand for safe communities and accountable government,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. “Today’s ruling makes clear that we cannot be required to use local resources to enforce federal policies.
