NYT: Michelle Cottle: Lauren Boebert Is Feeling the Heat in Colorado
These are rocky political times for Ms. Boebert. She rode into office in 2020 on the give-’em-the-finger, burn-the-place-down attitude that defines Trumpism, promptly getting lumped in with other outrage artists, such as Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene. But over the next two years, she behaved so outrageously that she turned off many of the folks back home.
In 2022, she came within around 500 votes of losing her Republican district to a Democrat no one had ever heard of. Then, last September, things went totally off the rails. Ms. Boebert, in the midst of a rough divorce, got tossed out of a Denver theater after vaping and getting handsy with her date during a performance of “Beetlejuice.”

Guardian: ‘100% penalty’: Clarke criticises referee after Scotland crash out of Euro 2024
“It was 100% a penalty,” Clarke said. “Somebody, somewhere has to explain to me why that is not a penalty. It was, 100%. It was a one-goal game; if we get the penalty it can be a different night. I have other words but I am not going to use them.”
Clarke was pressed on the rare use of a referee from another continent. This has happened before in the European Championship but is unusual. “European competition, might have been better to have a European referee,” the manager said. “But we had European VAR [Video Assistant Referee]. Maybe the referee didn’t see the challenge clearly on the pitch so what’s the purpose of VAR if they are not going to come in on something like that? It was a penalty.”
