Bob Beauprez Creams CPAC, Matt Schlapp, in Blistering Letter

If you’ve been wondering what former Congressman and two-time gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez has had been doing lately, we’ve got you covered! As The Washington Post reported late last week, Beauprez has resigned his role as Treasurer of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a Trump-aligned right-wing organization known mostly for organizing bizarre conferences upon […]

Christian Nationalism is Coming for You (feat. Rob Boston)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado Republican Party isn’t just morally bankrupt! No, the Grand Old Party may actually be financially bankrupt as well, and the national party may bankrupt the entire nation! Yay, fiscal responsibility! Yet another fiscally conservative Republican who lit 5 million dollars of his own money on […]

The First Rule of Holes is Lost on MAGA Republicans

At the beginning of the 2023 Colorado legislative session, freshman Republican Rep. Ken DeGraaf of Colorado Springs took to the House Floor to introduce his brand of right-wing nuttery to the rest of the state. DeGraaf punctuated his remarks with an oft-used quote that he clearly never bothered to internalize himself. “What we have learned […]

Oath Keepers Leader Gets Eighteen Years For January 6th

The Washington Post reports: Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison Thursday in the first punishments to be handed down for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. U.S. prosecutors asked for up to 25 years in prison and the longest sentence by far in the […]

DeSantis’ Campaign Launch An Epic Technical Disaster

Not even Fox News can spin this one: A short while later, the headline was updated: Politico reports, and if you were one of the several hundred thousand Americans who tried to tune in this afternoon, a precious half hour or more of your life was thus wasted: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was set to […]

A Self-Own Only Lauren Boebert Could Achieve

One of several filters we apply before deciding to post on a news item involving Colorado’s perpetual controversy machine Rep. Lauren Boebert is trying to ensure that the subject has an intersection with political issues that Boebert has taken a position on. When Boebert announced publicly that her 17-year-old son was about to be a […]

Neguse Leads Charge Against GOP’s “Default on America Act”

As chairman of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, Rep. Joe Neguse of Boulder took point last week in a press conference blasting the House Republican bill for increasing the nation’s debt limit in exchange for severe cuts to cornerstone programs like Medicaid, education and even law enforcement funding: “The only group in Washington […]

Boebert Promotes “Globalist” Conspiracy at Rally Opposing World Health Organization

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) joined many of her Freedom Caucus colleagues in a full-blown “globalist” conspiracy press conference yesterday. In addition to a dozen or so members of Congress, the “Exit the WHO [World Health Organization]” event at the Capitol featured organizer Frank Gaffney, a notorious Islamophobe whose Center for Security Policy is an anti-Muslim […]

Sweet Home Colorado for Space Command HQ?

  The administration of former President Donald Trump created a new branch of the military called “Space Force” in 2018. The headquarters of U.S. Space Command was established in Colorado Springs on a temporary basis until an official home was found, and Colorado politicians lobbied hard for the HQ to remain in our state. But […]

Trump’s Triumphant Trashing of CNN’s Reputation a Turning Point

The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr reports for those of you who found something better to do on a Wednesday night than listen to ex-President Donald Trump fictionalize recent American political history for more than an hour: During a roughly 70-minute-long forum with likely Republican voters in New Hampshire on Wednesday night, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins […]

What in the Hell is Lauren Boebert Doing?

Near the end of this week’s episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii spent a few minutes discussing the absurdity of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis waging an all-out political war on The Walt Disney Company because it disagreed with his “Don’t Say Gay” law. DeSantis is betting that […]

Buck’s Debt-Ceiling Solution: Work Until You Die

Colorado’s arch-conservative but occasionally unpredictable Rep. Ken Buck was one of only four Republicans to vote against GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s sweeping spending cut proposal in exchange for what should be a routine hike in the nation’s debt limit–a proposal itself considered dead on arrival in the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate, failing to resolve the […]

Winners and Losers from the 2023 Legislative Session

With the 2023 Colorado legislative session now in the books, it’s time for us to hand out some grades.

Boebert Co-Sponsors “Tainted Slider Protection Act”

A fresh and never frozen battle is brewing in Congress over the so-called PRIME Act, legislation that would allow some producers to directly sell meat products that have not been inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for safety to consumers and restaurants. As Dan Flynn writes for Food Safety News: Food safety is reason […]

‘It’s water vapor’: More GOP climate denial precedes Colorado greenhouse gas bill’s passage

(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline April 28, 2023 In what’s become an annual tradition in the Colorado General Assembly, Democrats in the majority are spending the final weeks of the legislative session passing bills aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while their Republican colleagues persist in outright […]

Biden Announces Re-Election as Trump, MAGA Slump

Everything old is new again. Well, that’s not exactly right. Everything that was old in 2020 is now older, but there will be a newish version in 2024. A darker version, but in a good way. From The New York Times: President Biden formally announced on Tuesday that he would seek a second term, arguing […]

Republicans Celebrate “Right to Repair” That They Opposed

As Jesse Bedayn reports for The Associated Press, Colorado is now the first state in the country with a “right to repair” law that allows farmers more freedom to fix their own tractors and combines: Sitting in front of a hulking red tractor, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill Tuesday making Colorado the first […]

Biden Rejects GOP Debt Limit Hostage Taking

As the Washington Post reports today, President Joe Biden along with the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate have declared the GOP-controlled House’s demands in exchange for the next routine hike in the nation’s debt limit a nonstarter: President Biden on Wednesday rejected a Republican plan to slash government spending and raise the debt limit, […]

Dominion Settles With Fox News Over 2020 Election Lies

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: One of the prime movers of the Dominion conspiracy theory, local gun store owner and wannabe hangman Joe Oltmann, is most displeased with Fox News for settling: F@ck those shitbags at Dominion and f@ck Fox… listen to this. No question, Fox sold out the American people. F@ck them. I will never stop fighting […]

NEW BOEBERT POLL and more you can do to fight for progress this week (April 17)

Let’s kick off the week with some big news.

House Republicans Have Little to Celebrate After 100 Days

The Republican House Majority in Congress surpassed its first 100 days in power last week. Silly sloganeering and partisan rhetoric aside, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy doesn’t have a whole lot to boast about after the first three months of Republican control in the lower chamber of Congress. As The Associated Press explained on Friday: As […]

Caraveo Fights For SNAP Benefits McCarthy Wants To Cut More

UPDATE: Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) hits back at House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s debt ceiling “plan”: “Defaulting on our debt is not an option”? What? That’s EXACTLY what you’re proposing. Defaulting. Your whole plan is to force a default if everyone else in Congress doesn’t agree to cut funding for poor people. You entire strategy is […]
