We wrote yesterday about freshman GOP Rep. Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd’s switch from in-person meetings with constituents to telephone town halls, following an incident last month in which Hurd’s Southwest regional staffer fled the scene of a library town hall after blanching at the size of the gathered crowd. On Tuesday evening, Rep. Hurd conducted […]

The Aurora Sentinel’s Cassandra Ballard reports today on the fallout over Tuesday night’s address by President Donald Trump to a joint session of Congress, in which the long-debunked and reborn falsehoods about the supposed “takeover” of the city of Aurora by migrant gangs continued to flow freely from the presidential piehole: During his speech to […]
While Democrats like Rep. Jason Crow host capacity crowd town halls full of constituents angry over the Trump 2.0 administration’s bulldozing of the federal government since taking office in January, Republicans have been advised by their leadership to avoid in-person events where the public can ask unscripted questions–or at least switch to telephone-based town halls, […]
Economic news continues to darken faster than JD Vance’s eyeliner. As CNN reports today: The Trump administration’s massive federal cuts and swelling feelings of economic uncertainty helped fuel a recession-level spike in layoff plans last month, new data showed Thursday.

In a statement earlier today, Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver says she’ll be skipping tonight’s address by President Donald Trump: “Trump’s childish and shameful actions in the Oval Office towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as his barrage of illegal attacks against public servants and vulnerable groups, have disgraced and embarrassed our country. His […]
President Trump will deliver a joint address to Congress tonight in which he will likely lie his ass off about a whole bunch of topics.

We wrote earlier today about the day of reckoning coming for Republican Members of Congress in tough districts who supported a Republican budget proposal that seeks to decimate funding for Medicaid — something that one of every five Coloradans relies upon for health coverage and/or nursing home care.

As Ali Longwell reports for Grand County’s Sky-Hi News, the current and prospect of many more layoffs as part of the Trump administration’s Elon Musk–engineered reduction in force of federal employees, many of them seemingly without regard to the important responsibilities of these workers leading in some cases to their rehiring, continues to cause alarm […]
