Gov. Jared Polis set a new PR this year — in annual vetoes. The governor, who finished his bill-signing tour Wednesday, rejected 11 measures passed by the legislature. That’s up from his previous record of 10 in 2023. A look at the bills Polis vetoed by the numbers:You can check out our veto list here.

Colorado’s law requiring people to be at least 21 years old to buy a gun can stand, a federal judge in Colorado ruled Thursday. The ruling is a definitive win for gun control advocates and a blow to the group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and two young people hoping to purchase guns, who sued Gov. Jared Polis to block the law in 2023. Chief U.S. District Judge Philip A. Brimmer sided with Polis and said in his ruling that the plaintiffs could not prove that the law violated their rights.

Just over a month ago, as the summer heat settled in on Greater Boston, Orange Line trains traveling between Community College and Sullivan Square stations were still going just 10 miles per hour. The nearly 4,000-foot-long crawl began plaguing riders more than a year ago. But now, this stubborn delay is gone, along with dozens of others, as the agency makes unprecedented progress this summer toward its goal of ridding the system of slow zones by the end of the year.
