In the days since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as readers know, his supporters have organized what might be considered a fitting tribute to the divisive and pugilistic Kirk’s life and work: a campaign to document every case of individuals from all walks of life expressing something other than effusive praise for Kirk […]
In the aftermath of Wednesday’s killing of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, there has been an endless stream of irresponsible chatter online (and at Fox News) about “political violence” and the United States reaching a “turning point” on the issue — including some disturbing suggestions […]
A seemingly out-of-the-blue message last night from America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans invited us in for a closer look: This is Evans praising what he calls “innovative technology” and the importance of “investing” your tax dollars in making our military “the strongest in the world.” Making this point about how awesome American military […]
In less than eight months, President Trump has driven a strong American economy right off of a cliff thanks mostly to his unpredictable, nonsensical, and probably illegal tariff policies. Unemployment numbers are at their highest levels in more than four years — in June, the United States saw its first month of job losses since […]
CNN kicks off your weekend with a fresh dose of troubling economic news: Economists were already expecting an unimpressive set of data for the August jobs report. The actual numbers came in far worse: Just 22,000 jobs were added in August, compared to expectations for 76,500 new roles. June’s job total was negative, shedding 13,000 […]
It would be nearly impossible to list all of the different ways that President Trump has critically damaged the United States — not just now, but for years to come. Assuming that this country still exists in a few years, we may well look back on this week as a tipping point for the Trump […]
NEW: Gov Jared Polis (D) tells me he won't free President Trump's ally Tina Peters from prison to prevent more retaliation like Trump's removal of Space Command from Colorado. "Justice is not for sale," Polis said. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/y389pDWnwx — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) September 4, 2025 In an interview last night with 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark, Gov. […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post editorial board comes to the same conclusion: Trump isn’t the first president to make a politically motivated decision like this, but he is the first to gloat openly about using his power to punish a state for not supporting his re-election. The message the president is sending is clear — get […]
Colorado’s carpetbagging controversy-chasing Rep. Lauren Boebert, now representing Colorado’s Eastern Plains after a moment of manual indiscretion nearly sent Boebert back to the now-shuttered Shooters Grill, keeps her millions of social media followers satiated and her enemies off balance with an unfailing firehose of hot takes on the issues of the day–a torrent that has […]
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is in turmoil this week after President Trump — at the request of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — fired CDC Director Susan Monarez less than a month into the job because of her apparent reluctance to base policy decisions on whatever the worm in […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-Windsor) has never been interested in “facts” when she has an opportunity to spout right-wing rhetoric, but her latest diatribe about transgender Americans leading a rise in violent attacks is particularly absurd. Boebert posted this on ‘X’ on Wednesday after the alleged attacker from a Minneapolis school shooting was identified by federal […]
A story from several days ago in the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog formerly known as the Colorado Statesman by veteran reporter Ernest Luning covers what is on the surface not major news, President Donald Trump’s endorsement of GOP freshman Rep. Jeff Crank for re-election to his relatively safe Republican seat in CO-05: President Donald […]
From the department of fallen standards, we bring the headline guest for the next Lincoln Day fundraising dinner benefiting the Arapahoe County Republican Party: Lara Logan is a once-respected former reporter for CBS News, who over the course of the last decade gradually succumbed to a series of discrediting errors and outlandish statements that left […]
In a Truth Social post today, which we’re supposed to refer to simply as a “Truth” but for self-evident reasons we decline, President Donald Trump issued the most direct threat yet against the state of Colorado over the incarceration of convicted felon former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. Peters, as readers know, was sentenced to […]
One of the stranger stories of the 2024 election cycle involved an alliance of sorts between the Colorado Republican Party and the Colorado Libertarian Party to join forces like a Dollar Store version of Voltron in an effort to prevent Democrats from winning elections. That idea is back in 2026…and it’s gotten weirder yet. There […]
Brian Eason of The Colorado Sun has expanded on a story in last week’s “Unaffiliated” newsletter that we mentioned previously about the folly of cutting taxes as an effort to boost the economy and employment — particularly with Colorado’s unusual TABOR budgetary restrictions. This issue is popping up again ahead of Thursday’s special legislative session […]
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 […]
It’s history that Colorado Republicans don’t like to get into these days, but those of us with intact long-term memories can recall a time when Donald Trump had not yet supplanted values to become the Colorado GOP’s personal object of veneration, and even resisted Trump’s hostile takeover of the Republican Party. Even before Donald Trump […]
If Congress were like a poker game, freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) would be in big trouble. That’s because Evans has an unshakable “tell” that gives him away every time. It’s quite simple: If Gabe Evans is talking, then he’s lying. Much like former Republican Sen. Cory Gardner — the last Republican to win […]
As ABC News reported yesterday, another U.S. Supreme Court precedent that millions of Americans have considered to be settled law for over a decade could once again be upended, as the court considers whether to consider a challenge to the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision making marriage equality for same-sex couples the law of the […]
As state lawmakers prepare to reconvene for a special session later this month to address the budget shortfall created by the federal reconciliation budget bill that every Republican member of Congress from Colorado voted for and President Donald Trump signed into law, Colorado Republicans are fighting an uphill battle to shift the blame for the […]
Rolling Stone reports today on a new resolution introduced in the U.S. House by a trio of vulnerable Republicans including America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans that takes the denial and doublespeak following the passage of the historically unpopular “We’re All Going To Die Act” Republican budget bill to a credulity breaking point: Last […]
Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) continues to claim — despite ludicrous amounts of evidence to the contrary — that 100% of immigrant detentions and deportations conducted by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are justified because of the risks to public safety. Evans keeps going back to the same talking point: That the goal of new […]
Democrats continue to push for more information about the “Epstein files” that the Trump administration is desperate to ignore. According to a press release from the office of Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver): U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet along with 21 of their Senate Democratic colleagues introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act to direct the Department […]
There’s a famous quote that is often used in discussing water issues in Colorado: “Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting.” Colorado’s water laws are uniquely complicated, owing in large part to the fact that some 40 million people in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California rely on water from the Colorado River to […]
