Break up the Rockies. They rallied to beat the Giants 4-3 at Oracle Park Thursday night, sending the baseball universe into a tizzy. It marked the first time the Rockies won back-to-back games this season and ended their 13-game road losing streak. They won for the first time in San Francisco since July 7, 2023 — a losing skid of 12 consecutive games. Rookie right-hander Zach Agnos, installed as the closer in Colorado’s 2-1 win over Atlanta on Wednesday, delivered his second save. He methodically set the Giants down in order in the ninth.  Rallies have been tough to come…

About 320 union employees at Lockheed Martin’s Waterton Campus in Jefferson County walked off the job Thursday after voting down a contract offer from the defense and aerospace giant. The employees are represented by the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America Local 766. They joined several hundred union members who work for Lockheed Martin in Orlando, Fla., who walked out at the same time. The two locals are covered by the same agreement. Bill Shafar, president of UAW 766, said the workers held a rally Thursday morning and then began walking the picket line. “We’ll establish normal…

A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by residents of Denver’s Cedar Run Apartments against its corporate owner, citing insufficient evidence to back up their allegations of poor living conditions. Denver County Court Judge Brian Williamson ended the case with an oral ruling issued from the bench in late March. A representative of Cedar Run owner Gelt Venture Partners provided a court transcript of the proceedings to The Denver Post this week. According to the transcript, Williamson denied the residents’ requests for temporary and permanent injunctions in the case. He also dissolved a temporary restraining order that went into effect…

A Fort Carson soldier is accused of dealing cocaine and offering to sell illegal weapons to an undocumented immigrant while part of a security company that staffed an illicit Colorado Springs nightclub with armed guards, a job he continued in defiance of an order from his commanding officer. Juan Gabriel Orona-Rodriguez was arrested Wednesday on one count of distribution and possession with intent to distribute a substance containing cocaine and one count of conspiracy in connection with an underground club, Warike, that was raided by federal agents early Sunday morning, according to an FBI arrest affidavit. As of Thursday, his…

One of Colorado’s most scenic trail areas will shut down on June 2 as part of a multi-step plan to improve visitor experiences and ensure its long-term sustainability. The Blue Lakes trailhead, located off of County Road 7, about 12 miles southwest of Ridgway, will remain closed at least through August, or whenever “it is safe to access the area,” according to a Thursday statement from the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison national forests. The work includes the reconstruction of the trailhead parking area, the addition of two new vault restrooms, and the installation of kiosks and interpretive panels and…

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI, Associated Press A federal judge on Thursday barred the Trump administration from deporting any Venezuelans from South Texas under an 18th-century wartime law and said President Donald Trump’s invocation of it was “unlawful.” U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. is the first judge to rule that the Alien Enemies Act cannot be used against people who, the Republican administration claims, are gang members invading the United States. “Neither the Court nor the parties question that the Executive Branch can direct the detention and removal of aliens who engage in criminal activity in the United States,” wrote Rodriguez, who was nominated…

Today is Thursday, May 1, the 121st day of 2025. There are 244 days left in the year. Today in history: On May 1, 2011, President Barack Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden during a U.S. commando operation, which took place in Abbottabad, Pakistan in the early morning hours of May 2 local time. Also on this date: In 1866, three days of race-related rioting erupted in Memphis, Tennessee, as white mobs targeted Black people, 46 of whom were killed, along with two whites. In 1931, the Empire State Building was dedicated in New York City; it would…

Federal lawyers urged a U.S. District Court judge in Colorado to reject Jeanette Vizguerra’s challenge of her detention in a new filing this week, arguing that she hasn’t sufficiently shown the government was retaliating against her activism when authorities arrested her. The well-known immigrant-rights advocate was in the country without proper legal status, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were following a reinstated removal order, U.S. Justice Department attorneys wrote in the Tuesday filing. It responded to arguments by Vizguerra’s legal team in recent weeks that the government’s arrest of Vizguerra in March violated her First Amendment rights. The federal…

By Emily Weinstein, The New York Times Like a lot of people around the world, I love pad thai, with its intricate and craveable combination of flavors and textures. But it’s because I love pad thai that I stopped ordering it for delivery a long time ago. The stir-fried noodles were always gloopy and globbed when they arrived at my door. The flavors had dulled, and the contrasting textures that make the dish so delicious in restaurants had all slumped together. Like tacos, pad thai is one of those foods that’s meant to be eaten the moment it’s assembled. Every…
