President Donald Trump’s lengthy Truth Social screed yesterday vowing to lead “a movement” to abolish mail-in ballots, which have proven to be secure and popular in Colorado for over a decade, took place in the context of a wave of federal scrutiny and alleged attempted illegal meddling against Colorado county clerks and Secretary of State […]
We’re taking the rare step of posting the text of President Donald Trump’s wild and wacky screed early this morning presumably in response to a headline about Jeffrey Epstein he didn’t like, to ensure that search engines capture every word of it for posterity: I am going to lead a movement to get rid of […]
UPDATE: Rep. Jason Crow posts this update from outside the Aurora ICE detention center, where he and colleagues were apparently allowed in unlike previous visits: Today, I led a Congressional oversight visit to Aurora’s ICE facility. We will not be deterred from doing our jobs, and that’s exactly why we made this visit today. Ensuring […]
UPDATE: Jesse Paul of The Colorado Sun makes the same point about unserious Republicans in the legislature: —– We knew it was coming after Congressional Republicans passed President Trump’s “big, beautiful, bullshit budget bill” last month, and here it is: Another special legislative session. As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post: For the third […]
We don’t normally find much credible to cite over at the conservative website Complete Colorado, once colloquially known as Colorado Drudge before the world forgot who Matt Drudge ever was, but a story from the weekend by right-wing paid poison pen Sherrie Peif did catch our attention–a piece ostensibly reporting on, but without much subtlety […]
After narrowly losing the recent election for Colorado Republican Party vice-chair to former Rep. Richard Holtorf, Douglas County Republican activist and donor of some significance Mark Hampton (no, not the husband of actress Christina Ricci) remains displeased with that result and the general direction of the state party, explaining his loss to the also dissentious […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reported Friday on new National Journal rankings of the top 2026 U.S. House races, and with the exception of Rep. Don Bacon’s opening swing seat in Nebraska the hottest race in America is expected to be Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District, where MAGA faithful freshman Rep. Gabe […]
Embed from Getty Images A major story that broke last week in the Washington Post and then significantly expanded upon by the Denver Post last Friday has gone mostly quiet this week, but that could just be temporary as questions continue to swirl about Jeff Small, a principal with the Republican consultant firm 76 Group […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, the story that broke this week in the Washington Post about Republican political consultant Jeff Small’s rebuffed approaches to Republican county clerks to permit outside access to voting equipment, a la convicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, is taking a turn towards something closer to extortion and […]
(Transparency* — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, Congressman Jeff Crank (R-CO) told a radio show host he wanted to see transparency in the Epstein case. [Tuesday], he, along with the rest of Colorado’s Republican delegation, voted against making those files public. Across the political aisle, there have been […]
Apologies gentle readers, the utter preposterousness of what you’re about to read has temporarily overloaded our comms channels: We deserve the truth about the Epstein Files. I'm ready for a Special Counsel to handle this. @MattGaetz, how about it? https://t.co/cEco2orhWl — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) July 15, 2025 For those of you who have been living […]
As Caitlyn Kim reports for Colorado Public Radio, what may be the greatest act of political self-sabotage of our lifetimes is headed to President Donald Trump’s desk to be signed into law, as the Senate’s even more pernicious version of the Trump reconciliation budget bill given the Orwellian official name “The One Big Beautiful Bill […]
This morning, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans removed any lingering doubt about his unswerving support for President Donald Trump’s budget reconciliation megabill known as the “We’re All Going To Die Act,” even after certain aspects of the legislation including cuts to Medicaid and renewable energy were made even more harmful by the Senate […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, oh no! The big bullshit bill has hit some serious roadblocks! Wait, sorry, OH YAY! The big bullshit bill had hit some serious roadblocks! And by “some serious roadblocks” we mean “the opinion of the vast majority of voters” How does it play in Paonia? Then, it turns […]
In the 2024 election, former radio host Jeff Crank became just the fifth different person to represent the Colorado Springs-centered fifth congressional district. Just like the other four people who preceded him, Crank is a Republican. As Colorado has become a solidly-blue state over the last 10+ years, CO-05 is the one congressional district has […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the big beautiful bullshit bill is banging around in the US Senate, and the longer it does, the worse it gets for President Trump and the Republicans who voted for it. Then, Remember Stagflation — that thing that is worse than both a stagnating economy and inflation? Well, it’s […]
It’s a maneuver beloved by shifty politicians and others looking for a quick way out of unpleasant interactions with bill collectors, small talk with in-laws, and other such dodgeable moments–and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) this week caught America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans red-handed pulling the “fake phone call” trick to avoid […]
Freshman Republican Rep. Gabe Evans campaigned for office in full agreement with Donald Trump’s promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the country, subsidizing Trump’s wildly exaggerated claims that the city of Aurora had been “overrun” by migrant gangs and appearing with Trump at his rally last October near Denver International Airport promised that […]
In just a few months in office, freshman GOP Rep. Jeff Hurd of Grand Junction has had several high-profile moments of disagreement with President Donald Trump on a range of issues from the layoff of federal workers to Trump’s pardoning of violent January 6th, 2021 insurrectionists–though notably not in the end opposed to the “We’re […]
As NBC News reports, negotiations over the “We’re All Going To Die Act” among Republicans in the U.S. Senate have apparently taken a turn towards what was at the beginning of the budget negotiation process under President Donald Trump assured by all including Trump to be “off the table”–cuts to Medicare, the extremely popular health […]
With the U.S. Senate now considering the reconciliation budget measure christened by President Donald Trump the “Big, Beautiful Bill” to slash Medicaid, food assistance, and other funding across the depth and breadth of the federal government in order to pay for extended tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and still managing to grow the deficit […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Wayla Murrow and her daughter Cynda have been Medicaid members for 12 years. They applied when Cynda turned 18 so that she could access medical care to support her intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since becoming a member, Cynda, 30, has joined community programs that […]
As the Easter congressional recess wraps up, constituents in Colorado’s most vulnerable Republican Rep. Gabe Evans’ district are holding not one, not two, but three of what we’ve taken to calling “Cardboard Cory Town Halls,” in honor of the years-long campaign that highlighted former Sen. Cory Gardner’s inaccessibility to voters leading up to his ouster […]
Freshman Congressman Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) has been an interesting mixed bag in his first few months in Congress. While Hurd has made some good decisions that speak to a desire to serve his constituents in the third congressional district, he has also demonstrated the all-too-familiar Republican fear of speaking to those same […]
Yesterday afternoon, Gov. Jared Polis signed what will go down as one of the most noteworthy pieces of legislation of the 2025 session, a bill that establishes new education requirements for the purchase of certain semiautomatic firearms like the AR-15 class of “assault weapons” used in some of the deadliest mass shootings in recent American […]
