Mohamed Soliman will be in a Boulder courtroom today, to enter a guilty plea for first degree murder and other charges around last year’s firebomb attack on a group supporting hostages held by Hamas. The last time Denver hosted the Democratic National Convention was almost two decades ago — this week officials made the pitch that it’s time for it to return. And it will be a while before we know whether this week’s storm put any dent in Colorado’s drought, but there were still plenty of people out enjoying a rare May snow day.
