What time do you eat dinner? Scientists say the answer could be shaping your weight, your blood sugar, and even your heart health.

Boebert's Son Arrested

Garfield County deputies arrested U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert's eldest son, 21-year-old Tyler Boebert, on Sunday on five felony counts, including three charges of sexual exploitation of a child.

The remaining two counts are contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The sheriff's office says the case stems from an incident on New Year's Day in 2024, when Boebert was 18.

He was booked into the Garfield County Jail and released the same day on a $10,000 bond. The arrest followed a felony review by the 9th Judicial District Attorney's Office.

Boebert is due in court Aug. 19, and the case remains under investigation. "I love my son," Rep. Boebert said Monday, adding that the family takes the allegations seriously.

Slain Wolf Mistaken for Coyote

A licensed hunter who shot and killed a reintroduced gray wolf in northwestern Colorado in January had mistaken the animal for a coyote, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said Monday.

The wolf, a female known as 2504, was translocated from British Columbia in January 2025. CPW cited the hunter $140 and five suspension points for shooting without the proper license.

The agency declined to press charges, saying the hunter made the ethical choice to report the shooting immediately and cooperated with investigators throughout.

Killing a protected wolf can otherwise bring up to a year in jail and fines of $2,000 to $100,000. Seventeen wolves have died since reintroduction began in December 2023.

The Next $435B Energy Empire Is Being Minted
