THIS IS A PROBLEM: The Colorado River’s largest reservoirs are heading toward a ‘system crash,’ experts warn.
Colorado River experts and decision makers gathered in Boulder, Colorado, this week to discuss the future of the water supply for 40 million people across the Southwest. At the registration table, a new white paper set the tone for the conference at the Colorado Law School: “Colorado River Basin Storage Continues Slide Toward System Crash.”
If the Colorado River Basin has another dry year, even if water consumption is at or near historic lows, Lake Powell and Lake Mead will likely drop to levels that could threaten dam infrastructure and downstream deliveries to major southwest cities and agriculture hubs at the start of the 2028 water year, according to the paper co-authored by Colorado River experts.
If next year is more similar to a heavy snow year like 2023, then the nation’s two largest reservoirs would recover to an extent, but that cushion would likely only last for about two years, the paper says.
“We’re going to have to work harder to save water than we have ever worked before in the 21st century,” said Jack Schmidt, one of the paper’s co-authors, in an interview before the conference.

AN IDEA SO CRAZY IT JUST MIGHT WORK: University of Austin’s ‘Merit-First Admissions’ automatically admits students based on test scores.
BECAUSE OF COURSE: CU Boulder pro-Palestinian group defends antisemitic firebombing, demands release of culprit.
This past week, the University of Colorado Boulder chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine demanded the release of convicted killer Mohamed Soliman … and justified his firebombing of a pro-Israel event a year ago.
Soliman was sentenced last month to “life plus 2,178 years” for attacking a “Run for Their Lives” (an event which supports the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas) last year with a “makeshift flamethrower” at which one victim was killed and over a dozen others burned.
In Jeremiah Wright-style, the CU Boulder SJP described Soliman’s actions as a “case of chickens coming home to roost.”
CU Boulder doesn’t recognize the group, but that’s about as far as the school’s sanctions seem to go.
THE COPE IS STRONG:
A lot of people don't want to confront the implications of what they just saw happen in LA, even those who are appalled by it. They want an out, just so they can go on, not be terrified, feel a tiny tiny bit in control still. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: OK, I Think President Trump Really Enjoys Trolling Kristen Welker. “This isn’t the first time that Welker has stepped on the Trump 47 rake. President Trump gave one of his first interviews after returning to office to Welker, and that didn’t go what one would call swimmingly. All of the major players in the administration have been on Meet the Press since then, and each appearance featured at least one moment when Welker was confronted for her bias. All were great red meat television moments for conservatives.”
AMERICA MUST LOOK TO EUROPE TO FIND SENSIBLE WAYS TO RESOLVE COMPLEX IMMIGRATION ISSUES:
SEEMS LIKE A GOOD REASON TO DO IT: Iran opposes use of its assets to pay reparations to U.S. Arab allies. “President Donald Trump said in an interview that aired on Sunday he would not move to unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets before a formal peace agreement to end the US-Israel war with Iran.”
Even then, it would be a mistake.
