The Israeli military conducted “extensive” strikes against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip overnight Monday, the Israel Defense Forces announced early on Tuesday morning. “This follows Hamas’s repeated refusal to release our hostages, as well as its rejection of all of the proposals it has received from U.S. presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and from the mediators,” the Israeli prime minister’s office stated.
Colorado Governor
The Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budget released its March 2025 Economic Forecast. “Today’s forecast confirms what Coloradans are already experiencing. The President’s devastating tariffs are creating market chaos, hurting business investment, and damaging our economy, all while increasing fear over rising inflation and an economic recession. This economic forecast shows that Trump’s tariff tax is bad for Coloradans and businesses. Despite the expectation of a weaker economy due to tariffs, the projected General Fund balance is still good news in a difficult budget year,” said Governor Polis.
Denver Mayor
The City Council’s near-unanimous decision and signature into law by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston to end the sale of flavored tobacco reflect the will of our community, with over 100 organizations endorsing the measure and nearly two-thirds of Denver voters indicating their support. Notably, the ordinance became effective, March 18th. Denver became Colorado’s eighth local community to restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products, and the momentum for these policies continues to grow.
