Starting off, we have Heidi Beedle’s coverage of anti-abortion advocates celebrating the Trump presidency and the pardoning of individuals who vandalized and intimidated people at pregnancy resource centers. We also have an article by Washington DC correspondent for CTR Maria Tedesco documenting the Colorado GOP celebration of Trump’s inauguration where a January 6th rioter was lauded, Erik Maulbetsch’s recent article on Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams derailing a recent Republican meeting with another attempted power grab and a column from Logan Davis on how policies from the now-infamous Project 2025 are being put in place at a national scale.
