UPDATE: Marianne Goodland at the Colorado Springs Gazette reports: Lorusso, who hosts the two-hour program Common Nonsense on 1360 KHNC, a conservative talk radio show based in Johnstown, has testified on behalf of RMGO in community hearings throughout 2022, including in Boulder last August, where he said his group would sue over a handful of […]
Quickly emerging as the go-to freshman Republican state lawmaker for self-immolating culture war legislation that Republicans would steer clear of had they any sense, Rep. Scott “There Is No” Bottoms, the prime sponsor of a “Personhood”-style abortion ban headed for the circular file in our Democratic-controlled Colorado General Assembly, has introduced another anti-abortion bill the […]
Colorado Republicans and their historic new micro-minorities began the 2023 legislative session by demonstrating that they had learned absolutely nothing from their 2022 election drubbing. The problem is particularly bad in the State House, where GOP lawmakers bring up their opposition to abortion rights at every opportunity — a position that is at odds with […]

UPDATE: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to slam Lauren Boebert, dismissing Boebert’s claims of additional concessions from Kevin McCarthy to win that precious “present” vote: Marjorie Taylor Greene refused to credit the Republican Speaker holdouts (Biggs, Gaetz, Boebert, etc.) for “the deal,” claiming the concessions “were pretty much already there” and “were made weeks and […]
UPDATE: The unintended money quote today from frosh Rep. Ken DeGraaf of Colorado Springs: It’s all too true. —– The Colorado legislature kicked off its 2023 session with many new names and faces…and some oddly-familiar rhetoric. After the 2022 “Bluenami” in Colorado that saw Republicans get hammered across the state, we wondered if the GOP […]
UPDATE #13: After a brief gavel-in, the leaderless U.S. House is in recess until noon Eastern tomorrow. —– UPDATE #12: The GOP circus is officially in recess until 8:00 pm EST. —– UPDATE #11: Kevin McCarthy fails on Ballot #6 with the same number of Republicans (21) refusing to support his candidacy. House Republicans reportedly […]
Barely re-elected Rep. Lauren Boebert received the usual headline-making scorn she cannot distinguish from praise last week after publicly dissing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during Zelensky’s address to Congress. Joining with Rep. Matt Gaetz to ostentatiously sit out repeated standing ovations for Zelensky while scrolling on their phones, Boebert announced afterward that she would […]
To paraphrase the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: The only thing that Lauren Boebert has learned from history is that Lauren Boebert has learned nothing from history. Earlier this month we considered whether Republican Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert might have actually learned a lesson in self-preservation after her near-defeat in 2022. Despite representing what should […]
UPDATE: Shots metaphorically fired as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bodyslams Rep. Lauren Boebert for her lack of fealty to Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy: Perhaps in the end there really can be only one. —– There will be a vote on January 3, 2023 to elect the next Speaker of the U.S. House. But as […]

I get these ballots waiting to be cured are important. Aggressively pursuing Voters, being rude, and calling relatives. Voters have the right to cure their ballot; they also have the right to not cure. One young voter told me she will never vote again. @annalynnfrey @johnmrod — Gilbert Ortiz (@Bochefus) November 15, 2022 As Denver7’s […]
We haven’t seen or heard much from Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters lately, which is a bit of a surprise given that she has plenty of time on her hands. Peters is not allowed to be anywhere near election equipment on account of breaking into her own election system in 2021, a crime […]
Colorado Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert will likely be a bit nervous on Election Night as she waits to find out if recent polling numbers showing Democrat Adam Frisch gaining ground in CO-03 prove to be accurate. As we’ve noted before, Boebert is unquestionably the face of the Colorado Republican Party — and that’s probably the […]
Republican Erik Aadland is a strange dude with strange friends and awful policy positions who is running for Congress in CO-07 behind a vague narrative centered around a picture of a lion and his belief that Erik Aadland should be in Congress (Aadland has said that he “doesn’t have time” to start out running for […]

In the far-right Epoch Times today, we’re seeing the first of what we expect to become a flood of second-guessing and recrimination among Republicans over the failure of Colorado GOP U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea to gain traction–despite pressure to show strength as Republican prospects in other states dwindle under the weight of even less […]

As the Washington Post’s Mariana Alfaro and Jacob Bogage report, on the street near the U.S. Capitol yesterday, activists from a youth voter organizing group Voters of Tomorrow caught up with Congress’ “Q-some Twosome,” Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado. It’s not an uncommon occurrence for politicians on the street […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl filed her latest campaign finance report on Tuesday, and it was as underwhelming as everything else she has done since launching her bid for Governor last September. Through Sept. 6, 2022, Ganahl has raised $1.6 million, loaned her campaign $250k, and spent about $1.6 million in total. She enters […]
As most of our readers know, Colorado Republican Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert is not what you would call a particularly serious person. Boebert spends most of her time Tweeting out juvenile insults and complaints about various Democrats and thirstily trying to get the attention of New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. When Boebert speaks […]
It’s not a new revelation to report that Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl will literally say anything if she thinks it might earn her some support in her doomed campaign for Governor. Ganahl long ago made it clear that her core principles are mostly about convincing Colorado voters that she has some. Back in Nov. 2021, […]

Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl kicked off her campaign for Governor last September with a series of interviews that were a complete disaster, punctuated by a laughable attempt to get tough with 9News reporter Marshall Zelinger (“Why all the divisive questions?“). She blamed the media for her own failure to answer basic and very obvious questions, […]
