Suicide is the leading cause of death of youth in Colorado. Connecting kids to therapists quickly is challenging with some schools on remote learning. That's why #HeyNext viewers are supporting The Second Wind Fund through our Word of Thanks microgiving campaign. $46,000+ so far. Image
Second Wind Fund ensures young people at-risk for suicide quickly get treatment without red tape or huge bills. Second Wind Fund estimates that $1,000 in donations can save a kid's life. As always, I'll match the first 50 $5 donations here: coloradogives.org/SWFsavealife
Suicide prevention is one of the causes most often suggested by Next viewers since we started the Word of Thanks microgiving campaign in June.
We know so many families in Colorado have been impacted by suicide - and often in times when we were more reluctant to discuss the risk than we are today.
Next viewers have raised $700,000+ for Colorado non-profits since June. If you are able to chip in $5 or more to support Second Wind Fund's work saving young lives in Colorado, thank you. If you are able to share this thread, thank you as well.
(Note: Second Wind Fund is not a crisis line. If someone in your life needs immediate help, please contact Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 or text “TALK” to 38255)

NEW: @GovofCO Polis (D) announces Colorado will deploy “human capital, air and ground assets, and other logistical support” to help SOS @JenaGriswold (D) change leaked voting system passwords statewide. #copolitics
The password changes and review of logs/video for potential tampering is a process that must occur on-site in impacted county clerk offices. SOS has declined to say how many. Goal is to complete work tonight
Griswold did not inform county election clerks that her office had posted voting machine passwords online for months and did not begin the process of changing the leaked passwords until after the security breach became public.

NEW: Spokesperson for Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) confirms that "partial passwords" for Colorado voting systems were inadvertently posted online. The @ColoGOP first flagged the issue. #copolitics
The @ColoGOP says SOS @JenaGriswold (D) must comply with a list of election integrity demands or the GOP will call on county clerks to decertify the impacted voting machines. Image
@cologop @JenaGriswold SOS Griswold's office says there is no "immediate security threat" because no one could have used the leaked passwords to compromise voting systems unless they obtained physical access to the equipment through ID-badged secure rooms that are video-monitored. Image

Aurora Fire tells me capacity for the Trump rally is about 10,300. The guy with the clicker at the door says 1,500 entered in the first hour. Two hours until Trump speaks. Imagine it will be packed. I’ll thread updates from the rally here. #copolitics Image

NEW: Tina Peters’ sentencing in her election system tampering case has started. I’ll thread details here. Or watch live: #copolitics 9news.com/mobile/article…Image
Peters’ attorney asks for a sentence of probation instead of prison. Calls the prosecution highly politicized. Not sure how well that will go over with the judge, who wasn’t interested in political speeches during the trial. A pastor is now speaking on Peters’ behalf.
The pastor asks the judge to remand Peters into the custody of his church in California with a promise that she won’t be involved in Colorado politics anymore. Three people who were supposed to speak for Peters haven’t shown up, so now the people are speaking for the prosecution.

NEW: Colorado has a new welcome sign, of sorts. The billboard at the CO-WY state line warning "Venezuela Ahead, Be Prepared!" bears the name of Donald Trump's biggest billionaire megadonor. #copolitics 9news.com/article/news/p…
The billboard says “Paid for by Clipper Properties, LLC, Tim Mellon, Member.” Mellon gave $125M to a pro-Trump super PAC. The NYT describes Mellon as a "reclusive billionaire" whose autobiography said Blacks became "even more belligerent" after the expansion of social programs.
9NEWS has not independently confirmed that the Tim Mellon who paid for the billboard is the conservative megadonor of the same name. The law firm for the LLC hung up the phone repeatedly when Mellon's name was mentioned.

KOA's @MandyConnell repeated a claim that a Venezuelan gang is extorting truckers in Aurora, CO. It's from a TikTok video that appears to satirize anti-migrant hysteria. The TikTok creator said 18 Venezuelans got out of an SUV with "Venezuelan gang member" tattooed on their arms.
"18 Venezuelan got out of the SUV," the TikTok creator said in the video. "He pulled up his shirt and showed me his pew-pew and he had "Venezuelan gang member" tattooed on his forearm so I knew he was a Venezuelan gang member." Image
As some on TikTok look the claim seriously, the creator posted in the comments that his video was "a cranium thickness test." When asked by a commenter why he didn't call police, he replied, "couldn't talk on the phone had my tongue firmly planted in my cheek."
