House Democrats could begin formal impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump next week, seeking again to initiate the process to remove him from office.

When Donald Trump rose from a political outsider to claim the most powerful political job in the world – president of the U.S. – at least a portion of his success was attributed to his direct line of communication with the American people via his Twitter account.

Colorado had a significant increase in new unemployment claim filings last week compared to the week prior, an increase the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) attributed in part to fraud.
