This refresh preserved 77 Colorado news captures from Colorado Times Recorder, Colorado Sun, Colorado Newsline, Colorado Public Radio, and Colorado Public Education Watch.

It adds new reporting clusters around the reported WaterStone acquisition of Salem Media, Tina Peters commutation fallout, homeschool-enrichment funding guardrails, Woodland Park social-studies curriculum discussion, and the 2026 Colorado GOP gubernatorial field.
