Back in January 2019, the satirical publication The Onion targeted then-Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) for a laugh by joking that polling data indicated that Americans blamed Tipton for a government shutdown that lasted more than a month (the true cause was President Trump’s insistence that Congress provide $5.7 billion for a border wall with Mexico […]
Late night television host Jimmy Kimmel returns to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” tonight on ABC after parent company Disney reversed course on last week’s “indefinite” suspension amid a flood of protests from activists, celebrities, and production studios. Kimmel marked the occasion by posting a photo on Instagram posing with the late Norman Lear, a longtime television […]
No matter their political affiliation, most major party nominees for President of the United States generally repeat a similar phrase in which they promise to be a President for all Americans. Most of them probably even mean what they say. Democrat Joe Biden said it when he was elected in 2020. Four years later, Democratic Presidential […]
This week, as CBS4 Denver’s Republican-friendly political correspondent Shaun Boyd reports, three out of the four Republican members of the state’s congressional delegation sent a letter to Gov. Jared Polis, accompanied by a Zoom press call last night, blasting Colorado Democrats for their supposed “soft on crime” policies, and calling for a second special session […]
UPDATE: As David Sims writes for The Atlantic, Kimmel’s indefinite suspension marks a significant escalation for Trumpland: There have already been signs that President Donald Trump’s administration is intent on punishing perceived critics in the media, no matter what complaints about free speech might arise, but the chain of events that shut down Jimmy Kimmel […]

Back in June, we took note of a series of photo-op stops by America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans to locations in his district who have been or are about to be negatively impacted by policies of the Trump administration, and in particular the “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill for […]
When President Trump announced last week (again) that he was moving Space Command headquarters from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, Colorado’s entire Congressional delegation responded in rare agreement on a joint statement condemning the decision and promising that the HQ location fight wasn’t finished. Here’s what that statement from September […]
As you may have read in today’s news, far-right Republican Barb Kirkmeyer just launched a campaign to be governor of Colorado in 2026. Kirkmeyer’s campaign is widely considered to be a longshot in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in over two decades. Just like countless Colorado Republicans who have come before Barb […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, HOLY SHIT, it’s Episode 250!!! And we have a great one for you. First up, RFK Jr. gets his ass handed to him in a Senate Finance Committee Hearing and absolutely lied in his confirmation hearings.

As NBC News reports, yesterday was a pretty bad day for Republicans wishing along with President Donald Trump that the unrelenting controversy over the case of deceased pedophile billionaire and former close friend of Trump Jeffrey Epstein would have subsided over the long August congressional recess. It didn’t, and it’s getting worse by the minute: […]
A press advisory this morning directs interested parties to Historic Fort Lupton tomorrow evening, a notable venue as we’ll explain, for the announcement we’ve been awaiting for months: not so much out of anticipation rather than simply watching the requisite boxes get checked on the way to launching a campaign for governor that even many […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado State Budget got a billion dollar cut, again, thanks to Gabe Evans, Jeff Hurd, and the rest of the Republicans Colorado sends to Washington. We break down the outcome of the recently concluded Special Session. Then, friend of the pod Governor Jared Polis has some…words for HHS Secretary RFK Junior, […]
After a difficult week of budget cuts and loophole closures to address the billion-dollar hole in Colorado’s state budget opened by the passage of the federal “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget bill, the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain and Seth Klamann report that a coalition of progressive advocacy groups is kicking off a campaign […]

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 […]
The special legislative session in Colorado — called by Gov. Jared Polis to address an $800 million budget hole caused by President Trump’s big beautiful bullshit bill (OBBB) — is nearing its conclusion, with most of the focus now centered around how to move forward on a second issue related to delaying the implementation of […]
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 […]
Following yesterday’s momentary drama that culminated in the sudden resignation of the already-outgoing GOP Rep. Ryan Armagost, who was facing a censure resolution after circulating what he considered to be an unflattering photo of a female Democratic lawmaker, GOP House Minority Rose Pugliese is on the defensive and prolonging the already-embarrassing story by disputing the […]
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 […]
As Seth Klamann reports for the Denver Post, the nominal second priority of the special session of the Colorado General Assembly set to convene on Thursday after mitigating the effects of the billion-dollar hole in the state budget opened by the passage of the federal “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget bill is for […]

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 […]
Lawmakers will reconvene next Thursday for a special legislative session in order to figure out how to make another $800 million dollars in cuts to the state budget necessitated by President Trump’s “big beautiful bullshit bill” enacted by Congress in early July. In the meantime, Colorado Republicans have been trying very hard to put their […]
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 […]
