Colorado's congressional redistricting commission has released its first ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜†* map.

๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜†. This will change. But here's where they're starting from. #copolitics #co03 #co08 Image
Here's the estimated partisan leans of the proposed Colorado districts. #copolitics

1: (DeGette-D) D+56
2: (Neguse-D) D+27
3: (Boebert-R) R+10
4: (Buck-R) R+23
5: (Lamborn-R) R+20
6: (Crow-D) D+13
7: (Perlmutter-D) R+3 (!!)
8: (Open) D+7
Again, this map will undoubtedly change. But if it didn't โ€” or if the final one looks similar โ€” this is a really, really good map for Republicans.

It's quite possible there would be a 4-4 split in Colorado's U.S. House delegation with this map. In a Democratic state. #copolitics

Rep. Ken Buck, chair of the Colorado GOP, is hosting a virtual event on election security and integrity with three Republican county clerks.

Buck is asking questions from viewers and the clerks are answering them, repeatedly describing how secure CO elections are. #copolitics
The Zoom call is being streamed on CaucusRoom, a conservative social media site.

There's a huge contrast between CaucusRoom users sharing conspiracy theories in the chat box while the GOP county clerks plainly describe how each step of the election process is secure. #copolitics
So far, this has been a great public service. On a conservative platform, conservative clerks are describing Colorado's election system in detail, speaking to its security.

CaucusRoom users in the comments are not happy. One guy keeps posting, "Smoke and Mirrors!" #copolitics

In the past 36 hours, U.S. Senate candidate John @Hickenlooper has lost two court cases and been held in contempt.

Colorado's ethics commission will now consider how to punish his contempt and, later, weigh whether he broke ethics laws.

I'll tweet updates. #cosen #copolitics
Hickenlooper is not currently on the video conference but is available to testify, according to his attorney.

The commission seems to have softened when it comes to punishing Hickenlooper. They're eager to hear his testimony before they considering sanctioning #cosen #copolitics
John Hickenlooper has arrived, in a shirt and tie, on the video conference. Suzanne Staiert, with the Public Trust Institute, has begun quizzing him.

"I support Amendment 41, yes," Hickenlooper says, referring to the gift ban he's accused of violating. #cosen #copolitics

John Hickenlooper is not at the Ethics Commission hearing into his alleged violations of the Colorado gift ban.

A leading U.S. Senate candidate seems to be openly defying both a subpoena and a judge's order. Remarkable. #cosen #copolitics
On the other hand, this meeting is a massive technical mess, which speaks directly to what Hickenlooper and his attorneys have been saying, that WebEx is no way to conduct a hearing into a serious matter. #copolitics #cosen
Colorado's Independent Ethics Commission is in executive session as it talks with its attorney from the AG's Office.

A Hickenlooper attorney is at the meeting now. There wasn't one when it began.

The meeting remains a technical mess. #cosen #copolitics

John @Hickenlooper is at MSU Denver for a student-led chat. Iโ€™ll tweet any highlights. #cosen #copolitics
@Hickenlooper On a question about abortion, Hickenlooper says, "โ€œI support a womanโ€™s right to choice, no matter what.โ€

People who want to cut Planned Parenthood funding โ€œshould be punished, in the court of public opinion and at the ballot box," Hickenlooper adds. #cosen #copolitics
@Hickenlooper Hickenlooper is asked if he supports student loan forgiveness.

โ€œIโ€™m not sure that we want to be writing off everybodyโ€™s debt and Iโ€™m not sure the children and grandchildren of millionaires should have their debt forgiven โ€“ should have free college."

This is the scene at @RepKendraHornโ€™s first town hall of her career, in northwest Oklahoma City. There are about 100 people here. Iโ€™ll tweet at times over the next couple of hours. #okpol
โ€œWeโ€™ve been in sort of a unique time," Horn says of her first three weeks. The crowd laughs. โ€œThatโ€™s sort of an understatement, right?โ€

"We should never be using our federal employees as pawns in any disagreement," she says, her first clap line of the day. #okpol
โ€œI think we have to put everything on the table and we have to listen to the expertsโ€ on securing the border, Horn says. A "combinationโ€ of tactics are needed.

She touts legislation she co-sponsored with Reps. Mullin and Cole, both Republicans, to fund Indian Health Service.

JUST IN: After a nearly five-year investigation, the House Ethics Committee has told @RepMullin to repay $40,000 to a company he wasn't supposed to have ownership in.
The report largely clears Mullin of everything but an accounting error. He had been accused of unethically endorsing his former company and receiving outside income beyond what is allowed. ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.hโ€ฆ
This, from today's report, is the crux of the matter: ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.hโ€ฆ
