BMorning Briefing. The big one overnight: Lakewood, Colorado—one police officer dead, three wounded.
BFox News posted on X that officers were called near a bus for a suspicious person.
BWhen they made contact, the suspect opened fire.
BReports say he was shot and killed at the scene. A bystander was also hurt.
BThe shooting happened at a transit stop.
BSo people were just trying to get home.
BLakewood is just west of Denver.
BA routine call turned into a funeral.
BOne officer dead, three in the hospital.
BThey haven't released the officer's name yet.
BA whole department is grieving this morning.
BThat's the sober start to the day.
BDifferent world entirely—a Kenyan doomsday cult leader just got 200 years.
BThe Associated Press reports he was linked to more than 400 deaths.
BThat's not just a cult; that's a body count.
BThe sentence is life many times over.
BIt sends a message that this kind of manipulation kills.
BAnd it closes one legal chapter in Kenya.
BThe families get a final answer, at least in court.
BThat's the story from Nairobi this morning.
BHere's one that'll start a fight. Axios posted on X that voters were unambiguous Tuesday: "Don't BS us."
BThey're saying don't promise lower prices, end wars, and cut corruption—then do the opposite.
BI think that's too simple. Voters always say that, then re-elect the same people.
BThat's exactly the point! They're not re-electing the same people this time.
BCome on, they just swapped one crowd for another. It happens every two years.
BNo, the Axios piece is a warning. If the winners don't deliver, they'll get the same anger.
BBut "don't BS us" is not a policy. Lower prices how? End which war?
BThat's the part you're missing. Voters don't care about your policy paper—they care about results.
BAnd results take time. A hundred days in, the same voters will be impatient again.
BSo maybe they should be. That's how accountability works.
BOr it's how you get wild swings and no follow-through. That's not good government.
BThen maybe politicians should stop overpromising. That's the whole message.
BI'll give Axios this—the anger is real. But anger without patience is just a mood.
BTell that to the person who can't afford groceries. Patience doesn't pay the bill.
BAnd a bad law passed in a panic doesn't either.
BThen do both: be honest about the timeline and use the power you have.
BThat's a reasonable ask. Too bad "reasonable" doesn't go viral.
BBut "Don't BS us" sure did.
BAnd here we are talking about it.
BWhich means it landed.
BWe'll see if the winners take the hint.
BOr if they just read the room and move on.
