  1. Remember 9/11? The #first nation to come to our #aid was #Canada. Within hours they were providing safe space and helping us as our #airspace went into #lockdown. Even recently they were on the forefront fighting wildfires. And this is how we treat our #closest #ally? #shame! This #orange #felon who occupies the #WhiteHouse doesn't have an ounce of #decency.

  2. In 2022, no one gave #Adam #Frisch a chance against #Lauren #Boebert.

    All of the political pundits called our district "Safe Republican" or "Solid R."

    Nate Silver's #FiveThirtyEight only gave Adam a 3% chance of defeating Boebert. They projected he'd lose by over 45,000 votes!

    In the end, though, the race went to a #recount.

    Boebert won by just 546 votes, and Adam lost the #closest #race in the entire country.

    Because here's what their "models" and "forecasts" didn't factor in: Adam put in the work. He traveled 24,000 miles in our red pickup truck to every corner of the district. He met thousands of voters - and he listened.

    Now, he's running again, and I'll be honest: The first campaign was hard. But defeating Boebert is just too important. Adam's all-in to finish the job in 2024. I'm all-in. Can we count on you?

    Please, if you can afford to, will you chip in $5 or more right now to Adam's campaign and help him defeat Lauren Boebert? secure.actblue.com/donate/fris

    We were outspent in 2022 and just barely lost. Whatever you can afford to give today will help us invest early and win.

    I know it means a lot to Adam that you have his back.

    Thank you,

  3. #NYT 📆 Jan. 26, 2023 The #asteroid about the size of a truck 🚚 (10m across) did not hit #Earth 🌎 but was one of the #closest #approaches ever by such an object, hurtling past Earth at just 2,200 miles above its surface. It was #unknown to #NASA, or anyone, until last Saturday nytimes.com/2023/01/26/science

    The object that excavated the #Barringer #crater was about 50 m across en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_C

    #Gemini #North #telescope on #Hawaii reveals #first #dormant, #stellarmass #blackhole in our #cosmic #backyard.

    #Astronomers have discovered the #closest known black hole to #Earth. This is the first unambiguous detection of a dormant stellar-mass black hole in the #MilkyWay. Its close proximity to Earth, a mere #1600 #lightyears away, offers an intriguing target of study to advance our understanding of the evolution of #binary systems
