‘I worry for the times ahead’
Panel voter
The historic criminal indictment against former US President Donald Trump has sparked another partisan flashpoint in an already deeply polarized nation.

Douglas, Pitkin counties ranked as healthiest in Colorado
Douglas and Pitkin counties are the healthiest in Colorado for the fifth year in a row, while people living in Otero and Bent counties have the shortest and sickest lives.
The annual health rankings compiled by the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute attempt to grade counties across the country on two areas: health outcomes and the factors that influence health.
