Trent Leisy, one of the growing gaggle of Republican candidates vying to succeed retiring Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado’s crimson-red CD-4, announced before the holiday what he’s calling the “MAGA Never Surrender Convoy” set to roll this Saturday from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs–protesting what Leisy calls the “treasonous” decision by the Colorado Supreme Court […]
It’s an announcement we’ve been expecting ever since incumbent CD-4 GOP Rep. “KenSNBC” Buck said he would not seek another term in Congress, as the Fort Morgan Times’ Brian Porter reported in early November: Jerry Sonnenberg, who served maximum terms in the Colorado House and Senate before returning home to serve as a Logan County […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports today, the Republican commissioners por vida in Rep. Lauren Boebert’s longtime residence of Garfield County, Tom Jankovsky, John Martin, and Mike Samson, are all conspicuously staying out of the upcoming GOP primary for Boebert’s congressional seat: None of the three commissioners in the home county of Boebert, […]
Hi all; I am writing an application for the Democratic Party (i.e. the good guys) to manage volunteer events. It has a component for volunteers and a component for campaign managers. I need your feedback! First off, please do not reply if you have not volunteered nor have managed volunteer activities for a campaign. Events […]
The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports from the trial playing out this week in Denver District Court, seeking to force Secretary of State Jena Griswold to remove ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot under the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause barring people who try to overthrow the government from running to lead it. […]
Given their phonetically indistinguishable names, some confusion as we predicted was inevitable between the newly-elected Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and relatively newly-elected Democratic Mayor of Denver Mike Johnston. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston wants you to know that under the hood, these two similarly-named public officials couldn’t be more different on the issues […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, as U.S. House Republican aspirations of selecting a new speaker and thus getting back to the pressing business of running the country collapsed in yet another heap of chaos and despair last Friday, one of the prime movers in the political destabilization that has resulted in the longest-running […]
We’re taking a break from wondering if Congress will ever again function normally in order to point you to some absolutely breathtaking corruption currently taking place in one Colorado Springs school district. We haven’t seen any other reporting on this story, but we absolutely should; this is one of those tales that needs to be […]
We have been waiting on federal fundraising reports from Q3 (July – September 2023) in hopes that they might provide some fresh insight into several 2024 congressional races in Colorado. Those numbers are now available, and they indeed tell an interesting story. Let’s break down the reports by Congressional District… CO-03 (Southern and Western […]
“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.” — Ian Fleming in Goldfinger As we noted on Friday, Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) had a really tough week that ended with news that Mesa County Commissioner Bobbie Daniel was joining fellow Commissioner Cody Davis in publicly endorsing […]
Yesterday, the Republican-controlled U.S. House plowed away on a series of individual spending bills reflecting the non-starter ideological aspirations of conservatives with no seeming regard for the impending government shutdown set to begin at the end of the week. As the clock ticks down on a realistic proposal to fund the federal government, meaning a […]
As we’ve been predicting for months on the Get More Smarter Podcast (both HERE and HERE), Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) is on his way out of Congress. According to a new report from The New York Post, Buck is waiting only for the right exit strategy: The White House’s go-to Republican critic of the impeachment inquiry […]
Over the last couple of months, we have probably spent more time in this space discussing the Colorado Libertarian Party (LPCO) than we have over the course of the entire previous decade. Third parties in Colorado rarely take on much relevance because of their fairly small memberships and overall lack of organization; in fact, most […]
We’ve written about the #Beetlebert scandal as it has unfolded this week, including the latest video evidence that Rep. Lauren Boebert’s spokespeople were flat-out lying when they denied allegations that Boebert was vaping in the theater during a performance in Denver of the popular Beetlejuice musical. It’s important now to take a step back from […]

Last night, indicted attorney and former University of Colorado conservative scholar John Eastman appeared on Fox News’ Ingraham Angle, the coziest confines this side of Newsmax for the embattled accused mastermind conspirator in the plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election on behalf of Donald Trump. But as HuffPo’s Josephine Harvey reports, […]
In 2021, Colorado law changed to require the state’s industrial sector to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 20% by 2030. It’s an important goal and one that we are currently on track to fail to meet. A new rule being considered by the Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC) could help us to correct course, but […]
UPDATE 9:10PM: Indictment details are beginning to trickle out, and it appears that both Colorado-connected co-conspirators John Eastman and Jenna Ellis are set to face felony charges along with Donald Trump: The charges against Trump and allies are beginning to surface on the Fulton County docket. #gapol pic.twitter.com/YcOXy2imsm — Greg Bluestein (@bluestein) August 15, 2023 […]
The Supreme Court of the United States of America has been stuck in an ethical morass that continues to grow more problematic as more information becomes available. No other Supreme Court Justice epitomizes the corruption that is beginning to define SCOTUS more than Clarence Thomas, whose acceptance of lavish gifts and his blatant disregard for […]
(Just wow — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Even if he loses his law license due to his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, former Trump attorney John Eastman will continue working on Colorado Republican Party’s case to stop unaffiliated voters from participating in primary elections, according to a lead attorney on […]
(A must-read — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Vince Bzdek, the editor of the Colorado Springs Gazette, had already forced Megan Schrader to lower her ethical bar — as a journalist — well below her comfort level. Her months-long investigation of Republican Senate candidate Robert Blaha had been, as she tells it, gutted by Bzdek at […]

POLS UPDATE (FRIDAY): This event was apparently cancelled because of a scheduling conflict. —– (Et tu, Larry Mizel? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Maya Cederlund, Colorado Times Recorder Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) are holding a joint fundraiser this Friday at 12:30 p.m. at the Brown Palace in Denver. While the […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: You can count Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) among those who are not pleased with Boebert’s performative failures: We were elected to bring people together and get stuff done, not play hooky when our economy is on the line. https://t.co/tRfRRKJ6tg — Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) June 1, 2023 —– We wrote on Tuesday that Congressperson […]
An email we were forwarded by Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams yesterday assails the debt ceiling agreement reached over the holiday weekend between the White House and GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and lavishes praise upon Colorado’s two farthest-right Republicans in Congress, Reps. Lauren Boebert and Ken Buck, who have vowed to vote against the […]
