Article Icon 1$40M Flows for Shoshone Deal

The Trump administration has released $40 million to permanently secure one of the Colorado River’s oldest and most powerful water rights.

The money funds the Shoshone Permanency Project, enabling the Colorado River District to purchase senior water rights tied to Xcel Energy’s Shoshone hydroelectric plant near Glenwood Springs. That water right dates to 1902, making it one of the oldest on the entire Colorado River.

The Shoshone right legally compels minimum flows through Glenwood Canyon, keeping water moving downstream for communities, farms, and ecosystems that rely on it. Locking it in permanently means that protection doesn’t disappear if the plant ever changes hands.

Article Icon 1Sharpe Fire Fully Contained in Colorado

The 29,000-acre Sharpe Fire in southeastern Colorado has been declared 100% contained, bringing relief to Baca County communities just in time for Memorial Day.

The blaze tore through drought-parched Eastern Plains grasslands last week, fed by a flash drought that has left Colorado running a severe moisture deficit. The state would need 190% of normal precipitation by fall to fully recover, according to water officials.

The Memorial Day containment is welcome news, but fire officials warn the season is far from over. Record-low snowpack has set the stage for a dangerous summer, and conditions that fueled the Sharpe Fire remain across the Eastern Plains.

Article Icon 1Avs Season at Risk

The Colorado Avalanche’s season is on the brink as they face the Golden Knights tonight in Las Vegas.

Colorado dropped Game 2 to the Vegas Golden Knights 3-1 at Ball Arena Friday night, going down 0-2 in the Western Conference Finals as star defender Cale Makar remains sidelined with an upper-body injury.

Teams that fall into an 0-2 hole in the NHL playoffs rarely come back to win the series. Game 3 is tonight at T-Mobile Arena in a true must-win if the Avs want to keep their season alive.

Article Icon 1SpaceX Aces Test Flight

SpaceX's Starship V3—the largest rocket ever built at 407 feet tall—blasted off from Starbase in South Texas on Friday evening, marking the company's first Starship flight of 2026.

The rocket hit most of its test targets on Flight 12, deploying 20 mock satellites before flipping and splashing down in the Indian Ocean. The Super Heavy booster broke apart after separation over the Gulf of Mexico.

Friday's flight was a critical pre-IPO milestone. SpaceX is targeting a $2 trillion valuation in a planned public offering next month, after investing more than $15 billion in its Starbase program.

Article Icon 1Texas Fossils Reveal 'T-Rex of the Sea'

Paleontologists working with North Texas fossils have identified a massive new marine predator they're calling Tylosaurus rex, a 43-foot mosasaur that ruled the seas roughly 80 million years ago.

Researchers from the Perot Museum, SMU, and the American Museum of Natural History say the predator had finely serrated teeth and powerful jaw muscles, making it likely "much meaner" than other mosasaurs of its era.

The holotype, discovered in 1979 near Lake Ray Hubbard, is now displayed at the Perot Museum in Dallas. One specimen, nicknamed The Black Knight, bears injuries that could only have come from another T. rex. 

Article Icon 1Officials Eye Mountain Lion Reporting

Texas wildlife officials are weighing a first-ever rule requiring hunters to report mountain lion kills, a shift from a status quo where the cats can be taken without limits or paperwork.

Mountain lions are classified as non-game in Texas, a standard no other western state shares.

Under the proposed rule, hunters would file a report within 24 hours via the Texas Hunt and Fish app and submit a tooth and tissue sample within 60 days.

Voluntary reporting hasn't produced enough data to track populations, TPWD said. The Parks and Wildlife Commission votes May 28; public comment closes May 27.
