Colorado GOP Operative At Center of Citizens United Do-Over

One of Colorado’s more shady political organizations had a good day at the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday–as the Center for Public Integrity’s iWatch News reports: The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision to allow unlimited corporate and union spending in federal elections, upheld Monday, also effectively wiped out similar prohibitions in 24 states.

One Dollar One Vote? Life After Citizens United

(‘Disclosure and no limits’ talking point peddlers can now put their money where their mouth is – promoted by Colorado Pols) There is really no way to overstate the significance of the recent U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Citizens United v.

Colorado Republicans “Both United and Divided”

As the Department of War and the Justice Department continue their “investigations” into a video featuring six Democratic lawmakers reminding members of the U.S. military of their obligation to refuse illegal orders, the Republican counterargument that no illegal order had ever been issued by the Trump administration, a cornerstone of their case that these six […]

The Get More Smarter Podcast: Affordability!

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Epstein Files bill passed the House and Senate nearly unanimously and was signed into law by Donald Trump.
