While You Were Out, President Musk Took Over

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…it’s 2025, so why does it feel like 1861? At least one of us is coming to you live on tape from our Nation’s Capitol where a very different kind of storming of the Capitol is happening on this election certification day, and in case you’re just waking […]

Trump Will Take Office As The First Felon

As The Washington Post reports, the New York state felony conviction against once and future President Donald Trump has been upheld by presiding judge Juan Marcan, and Trump will pending some unforeseen development take office on January 20th as the first President of the United States so besmirched: President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced on […]

Stay Classy, Rep. Matt Soper (Jimmy Carter Eulogy Edition)

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Nathan Deal reports, Rep. Matt Soper is once again very sorry: The Daily Sentinel reached out to Soper for comment and received a text from Soper late Tuesday morning, reading: “My only comment will be that my Tweet/X was in poor taste and while I am not a […]

Sorry Colorado Republicans, Donald Trump Doesn’t Need Two Capitol Portraits

Here’s a recent email blast from Colorado Republican Party, ostensibly raising funds for a portrait of President re-elect Donald Trump to grace the presidential portrait hall in the rotunda of the Colorado State Capitol: [W]e have a unique opportunity to honor this legacy in the Colorado State Capitol Rotunda. We aim to commission a hand-painted […]

Gabe Evans Has All of the Opinions on Ukraine Funding

Congressman-elect Gabe Evans (R-Adams County) won’t officially cast a vote in Congress until early January, but he’s already talking at length about some key issues. In some cases, he’s taking all the positions available. In a recent interview with Marc Rod for the publication Jewish Insider, Evans went into detail about his opinions on U.S. funding […]

We’re Getting Nothing for Christmas; House Republicans are Mad

It’s not your fault; you haven’t been bad. House Republicans are scrambling (again) to figure out a way to fund the government (again) before an end-of-week deadline. As The Hill newspaper reports: Congressional negotiators are struggling to reach a deal to keep the government’s lights on past Dec. 20. Text of a continuing resolution (CR) […]

Colorado GOP Infighting Escalates to Violent Threats

If you thought that the Colorado Republican Party was done with its 2024 infighting just because the election is over… Nah, who are we kidding? Nobody would have thought as much. The metaphorical — and perhaps literal — knives are still out in a State Party that destroyed its own relevancy with a bunch of […]

Final Numbers on Makeup of U.S. House

You’re no doubt aware that Republicans held onto a narrow majority in Congress in the 2024 election cycle. What you might have missed is that the final numbers are closer than anyone thought. As NBC News reports: Democrat Adam Gray has defeated GOP Rep. John Duarte in a rematch in California’s 13th District in the […]

Meet Your New Energy Secretary, Colorado Petro-Evangelist Chris Wright

UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark profiles Chris Wright’s “fracking evangelist” views such as the “fearmongering” of linking climate change to extreme weather events, the warm fuzzy upside of global warming, the non-existence of a climate “crisis” of any kind, and other boardroom bromides you’ll be excited to hear from the next Secretary of Energy: —– Among […]

Gabe Evans Is The New Cory Gardner, And That’s Not A Compliment

Republican Rep.-elect Gabe Evans, basking in the glow of his exceedingly narrow win over incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in Colorado’s ultra-swing CO-08, held his first press conference since Caraveo’s concession yesterday to carefully word his way around the thornier aspects of returning President Donald Trump’s agenda–starting with Trump’s vow to initiate the largest deportation […]

Lauren Boebert Rushes To Defend Trump’s Bad Humor Man

By now, you’ve probably heard about the public relations disaster that unfolded for Donald Trump’s campaign at a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which comedian and podcast star Tony Hinchcliffe deadpanned his way through a routine that denigrated just about everybody except for the undereducated white males most steadfastly in […]

The Gabe Evans/KBB Connection: A Window Into Evans’ Closeted Extremism

The Denver Post’s Sunday front page was dominated by the paper’s profiles of the competing candidates in Colorado’s most competitive congressional race in CO-08, a race expected to help decide the majority in the closely-divided U.S. House. Both worthwhile reads–here’s reporter John Aguilar’s profile of incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo–but it’s Seth Klamann’s story on […]

Gabe Evans: So Far to the Right He’s Almost in Kansas

Republican Gabe Evans has been letting his right-wing freak flag fly in recent weeks as Election Day gets closer and he is forced to elaborate further regarding his positions on a number of important topics. For example, his 111-word non-answer on the easiest political question imaginable: When is it okay to hit children in public schools? The […]

Down The Darkest Rabbit Hole To A Place Trump Calls Aurora

The dust has settled in the extreme northern smidge of the city of Aurora next to Denver International Airport where ex-President Donald Trump held a rally Friday to promote his fictional narrative of the “takeover” of this Republican-controlled city of 400,000 by migrant gangs, to be followed shortly by the overrunning of the entire state […]

The Big Lie is Back, But it’s Really About 2024 Now

The 2024 election will conclude in less than a month. Naturally, Republicans across the country have decided to focus their attention on the 2020 election as they make their final pitch to voters.

Walling Off New Mexico: It’s Now Really A Thing

As Albuquerque’s KRQE-TV reports, what was once a running joke with its origin in various flubs committed by Republican politicians attempting to address immigration on the southern U.S. border, sometimes forgetting or misstating the state of New Mexico’s status as a U.S. state, now appears to be a highly questionable reality as the state of […]
