(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder It’s been a rough couple years for food banks and the families they serve, particularly for the Weld Food Bank in Evans’ home county. Demand has been skyrocketing ever since the pandemic’s expanded SNAP benefits ended in March 2023. In the following six months, the […]
From the blurry border between politics and show business where both President Donald Trump and Colorado’s cantankerous carpetbagger Rep. Lauren Boebert do the voodoo that they do, Newsweek reports that Boebert is serving as an intercessor with the Dear Leader in the case of reality TV star Joe Maldonado, immortalized by the 2020 Netflix miniseries […]
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 […]
Newsweek reports on the latest defining slip-up from former Senate Majority Leader and intermittently reanimated cadaver Mitch McConnell, who gave his most honest if heartless assessment about public opinion on the Republican budget proposal that will deprive millions of Americans of their Medicaid health coverage including one in three residents of McConnell’s native Kentucky: Republican […]
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr is diligently working on making Americans more deader (more MAMD than MAHA), and he continues to pursue his anti-logic policies while completely ignoring requests for more information from Congress. On Tuesday during a hearing of the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, ranking […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Stephanie Wolf reports, a ballot question put before Douglas County voters in a special election yesterday that would have granted the conservative bastion “home rule” status has failed by a lopsided margin that can only be interpreted as a humiliation for the county’s politically activist all-GOP board of commissioners: Voters in […]
UPDATE: Reps. Joe Neguse (D) and Jeff Hurd (R) issue a bipartisan statement blasting the now-dead public land sale provision in the GOP budget bill: Today, Congressmen Joe Neguse (CO-02) and Jeff Hurd (CO-03), who together represent Colorado’s Western Slope, issued the following statement after the Senate parliamentarian ruled Monday evening to remove provisions that […]
Some politicians seem to have an innate gift for making absolute fools of themselves. Congressman Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) appears to be just that kind of politician. Hurd has somehow found a new way to make a complete ass of himself when it comes to the widely-despised “big, beautiful, bullshit bill” currently being […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, Washington is abuzz this morning after a group of Democratic U.S. Senators led by Colorado’s Sen. John Hickenlooper pulled off a protest concert inside the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was taken over by the Trump administration soon after taking power, after Donald Trump personally objected […]
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 […]
Ever since the Republican trifecta in Washington, D.C. under President Donald Trump started work on their reconciliation budget package intended to jam though Trump’s agenda without a single Democratic vote, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans has walked a delicate tightrope between the interests of his swing congressional district and the historic cuts to […]
In case you missed the big news on Saturday evening (North American time), President Trump backtracked on years of anti-war claims by ordering the bombing of three sites believed to be key to Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. As Michael Burnbaum and Natalie Allison report for The Washington Post: Trump’s decision to strike Iran marked an […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Via the Colorado Times Recorder “I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America,” President Donald Trump told Congress in March. “It’s back.” He was referring to one of the many executive orders he signed on inauguration day: “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” “The previous administration trampled free […]
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 […]

As Colorado Newsline reports, we’re seeing the first estimates now of what the impacts will be to Colorado’s state budget if the Republican trifecta in total control in Washington, D.C. passes the “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget reconciliation package that will cut funding from Medicaid, food assistance, and innumerable other programs that Coloradans […]

Just before Memorial Day weekend, we took note of an order from Donald Trump’s new Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, directing national parks and monuments to remove interpretive signage and other materials that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.” This order affects parks and historic sites related to slavery, the Civil War, wars against […]
There are many environmental and public lands decisions made by a particular Congress or a Presidential administration that can be reversed or rolled back by a subsequent change in leadership. One administration may open up oil and gas drilling in a particular area, for example, while the next might decide to change those permissions. That’s […]
Republicans in Colorado and across the country have long claimed to be strident supporters of the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution. You know the one: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. […]
As Denver7’s Brandon Richard reports, the Trump-addled Justice Department under Pam Bondi has issued a highly unusual and expansive request for elections data from Colorado on the last two presidential elections in 2020 and 2024, reportedly in reponse to a “complaint” made to the Department from (we assume) one of the many kooks and conspiracy […]

Republican Rep. Gabe Evans of Ft. Lupton has gone from State Representative to Member of Congress to a walking punchline over the course of the last 12 months. For all of the career changes Evans has undergone in the last year, he’s going to have a hard time shaking his new clownish reputation. Here’s how […]
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 […]
