July 17, 2026: Reaction to Trump's election speech; Denver immigration judge fired; Indie 102.3's Local 303

from Colorado Matters · host Colorado Public Radio

The constitution gives states dominion over elections. Here, mail-in ballots are popular and secure. But the president wants to turn that upside down. Reaction and analysis to Thursday's address, including the latest edition of "If You Can Keep It." Then, a Denver immigration judge -- hired during the first Trump administration -- was fired in the second. She says she refused to cave to political pressure. And, in Indie's 102.3's Local 303, Colorado musicians pull off a feat -- appearances at two festivals at the same time.
