Having just brought our daughter home, I can’t imagine the worry of parents who don’t have a safe crib or carseat for a newborn. Our $5 microgiving project on #HeyNext this week benefits Newborns In Need, which ensures every family leaves Denver Health with what they need. #9News
Newborns In Need is a nonprofit project providing each family with a basket of essentials: diapers, wipes, clothes, a book and a stuffed animal (no child should start life without them). And if the family needs more, like a crib or car seat, they provide it.
The director told me about 90% of their families are low income. She said they often see people barely getting by and lately, with the economy, they aren’t making it. This is our chance to pool a bunch of $5 donations and help. As always, I will match the first 50 of them.
#HeyNext’s weekly Word of Thanks projects have raised more than $300,000 for small to midsize nonprofits in Colorado since June. To join me in supporting Newborns In Need this week, please donate here: denverhealthfoundation.org/donate/newborn…

Colorado's KNUS-AM played a key role in boosting unsupported claims that the 2020 election was rigged by Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems. KNUS' owner, Salem Radio, is now offering an apology and retraction.
Several KNUS hosts platformed Joe Oltmann, the podcaster from Douglas County, who claimed to have overheard an Antifa conference call where a Dominion exec bragged about rigging the election. (Yes, this was the same claim central to Mike Lindell's defamation judgment this week)
Oltmann stands by his election rigging claims and has called for the mass executions of his perceived political opponents - from specific elected officials to journalists. Oltmann has talked of killing people by hanging and dragging them behind his vehicle until dismembered.
NEW: MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell found liable for defamation for his statements about Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer. Federal jury orders Lindell to pay $2.3M, far less than the $62.7M requested by Coomer’s attorneys.
Jurors found Lindell engaged in civil conspiracy with his company FrankSpeech to broadcast the defamatory claims but did not find MyPillow liable as requested by the plaintiff’s team
Lindell claims to have vaporized his $50-60M fortune pursuing election rigging claims and is $10M in debt. Plaintiff’s attorney said there’s no way to know if he has money because they can’t see audited financial statements from his companies
Day 10 of MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell’s election rigging defamation trial in Denver began with a failed attempt by Lindell’s team to bring him back to the stand. US District Court Judge Nina Wang rejected that saying Lindell had covered the issue at hand in his 2+ days in the stand.
The defense then rested and, outside the presence of the jury, asked the judge to toss the defamation cases against Lindell’s companies, FrankSpeech and MyPillow.
The defense again argued that Lindell wasn’t reckless with his election rigging claims. “They’re trying to hold Mr Lindell to the standard of a PhD. He has a high school education,”attorney Chris Kachouroff said. “He did the best he could.”
Day 8 of MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell’s election rigging defamation trial in Denver begins. Lindell is on the stand for a third day. The judge is expected to rule on the admissibility of clips from Lindell’s election conspiracy theory documentaries.
I’d like to take this moment to express my thanks to my pillow, not to be confused with MyPillow. The wood benches in federal court are like something out of an 1800s church, the kind where you hear more about God’s wrath than God’s love. This pillow has literally saved my a—.
Jurors heard video testimony from Dennis Montgomery, who claims to have created a software program used by the CIA to rig elections worldwide. He says Lindell bought it from him for $1.5M. A deep dive on Montgomery's infamous, well-chronicled history: reuters.com/investigates/s…
This morning one of my girls put maple syrup on the dog. And that might not be the most bizarre thing I witness today. Day 7 of MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell’s election rigging defamation trial in Denver begins shortly. Lindell is still on the stand.
Reminder: I try to relay key moments in the trial, but I am not logging every development here. For that, check out my talented colleague @TheMarissaSol’s rolling coverage here: 9news.com/article/news/p…
Lindell’s counsel is trying to guide him through how he came to believe elections are rigged. Lindell is being constantly scolded by the judge for not directly answering questions and going on monologues.
Day 6 of MyPillow guy Mike Lindell‘s election rigging defamation trial in Denver begins now. Lindell is expected to take the stand today. On Friday, jurors heard testimony from a cyber security analyst who said he was punished when he challenged Lindell’s claims.
For those curious, the featured item of the day being sold to support Lindell is the king size pillow. The MyCross necklace also remains 50% off.
Mike Lindell is on the stand in his election rigging defamation trial. Lindell says he’s drained his entire fortune chasing claims of election rigging. “I went from a net worth of $50M to $10M in the hole and I’ve lost everything,” Lindell said.
