When Colorado’s first Amazon fulfillment center opens later this year, the 1 million-square-foot warehouse in Aurora won’t be full of books, beauty products and small gadgets. Instead, the 36-foot-tall racks will be packed with some of the larger items that customers order from the e-commerce giant, Amazon officials said Friday during a construction tour of the site. “Anything that’s greater than 18 inches in diameter would be in this building,” spokeswoman Ashley Robinson said. “You’re talking baseball bats, boxes of diapers, patio furniture, musical equipment.” Orders for smaller items will continue to be fulfilled out of state, potentially at centers in Texas, Arizona or Kansas, she said. “Our buildings don’t just serve one specific region.

Anish Mahajan, the chief medical officer, said Woods shattered tibia and fibula bones in multiple locations. He suffered “open fractures,” meaning the skin was broken.

Republicans are gathering in Orlando, Fla., this week for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), an annual event that allows grassroots activists, prominent commentators and lawmakers to rub elbows while discussing the present and future state of the GOP. While the gabfest happens every year, this week’s conference is the first to take place after former President Trump Donald Trump Biden to hold virtual bilateral meeting with Mexican president More than 300 charged in connection to Capitol riot Trump Jr.: There are 'plenty' of GOP incumbents who should be challenged MORE left the White House, allowing possible 2024 presidential contenders to test their appeal to a base that remains in lockstep with the former president.
