We wrote just over a week ago about a brewing scandal inside gazillionaire Donald Trump supporter Elon Musk’s America PAC operation, which has taken over responsibility for field campaign efforts for the Trump campaign in a number of key states. An investigation in the UK Guardian revealed that a large percentage of the campaign’s recorded […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, an apparent attempt to fraudulently cast as many as two dozen ballots by persons other than the intended voters has been intercepted by the state’s voter signature verification system in Mesa County–where, as readers know, the former county clerk is now cooling her heels in county jail […]

To say that the Colorado political landscape looked very different one year ago today would be an understatement like few in our years of history covering Colorado politics. On September 10, 2023, the fate of Colorado’s perpetual motion machine of political mayhem Rep. Lauren Boebert was very much in doubt. Five days before, Boebert sent […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark tracked down the maker of the racist signs that popped up on East Colfax yesterday morning, and it’s a well-known far-right “street artist” with a long list of similar campaigns in other cities, including a similar sign posted outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week: A Republican activist […]
(Worse than you thought — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder On the campaign trail, congressional candidate Gabe Evans talks a lot about his experience in the military, police force, and Colorado Legislature.

Westword’s Chris Perez reports on the latest brush with the law (that we know of) involving America’s catbird of carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert, who successfully ditched her growing list of professional and personal problems, at least for now, behind the Continental Divide by winning the clown-car CO-04 GOP primary in a blowout. But on a […]
We haven’t yet discussed the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” in this space, but it’s time to start talking about it given a new story today from The Associated Press.

The outcome of the 2022 race for Governor in Colorado did not hinge on Republican Heidi Ganahl’s bizarre obsession with the ridiculous idea that public schools in Colorado were infested with children dressed up as animals (which she referred to as “furries“). But it certainly didn’t help her cause — and the catshit craziness continues […]
After Rep. Lauren Boebert’s field trip last Thursday to New York City, lending a morale hand to ex-President Donald Trump as the trial over Trump’s cover-up of a “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels continues, the drama continued as the gaggle returned to Washington late in the day having missed important votes. As […]
On Sunday, the Colorado House passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 24-003, referring a statewide constitutional amendment to voters this November to repeal the state’s constitutional prohibition on same-sex marriage–a provision that hasn’t been enforced since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision making marriage equality the law of the land, but would suddenly become a […]
