This Republican is Running as a Democrat for Jefferson County Assessor

Meet Sue Flageolle. Flageolle is one of two people seeking the Democratic nomination for Jefferson County Assessor and hoping to make the ballot via the county assembly on Saturday. She is currently the Deputy Assessor and is running against current Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr, a former State Representative and State Senator. This might seem […]

What in the Hell are These People Doing? (Again)

Last month we discussed a confounding decision by left-wing groups to display a piñata likeness of a Democrat who did not appear at a CO-08 candidate forum hosted by Working Families Party (WFP) and COLOR Latina. The event in Thornton was a troubling example for Democrats of the sort of obsession with infighting that has […]

Polis Wisely Punts On Tina Peters Commutation

As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, after provoking a five-alarm backlash among Democrats as well as Republicans who care about election integrity by suggesting a commutation of convicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was imminent, Colorado Gov.

The DHS Secretary is Noem More (feat. Joe Neguse and Shannon Bird)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, there’s a lot going on in Colorado and the world this week, so we’ve got two interviews AND a full episode for you! We weren’t at war with Iran when we recorded our last episode, but, surprise, we are now. Then, the Colorado GOP is once again trying […]

House Republicans Oppose International Women’s Day Resolution After Bizarre Ranting

Colorado Republicans keep finding new ways to demonstrate that they are completely unserious people. House Republicans in the Colorado legislature have regularly voiced their opposition to honoring Black History Month (HERE and HERE), so perhaps it should be no surprise that they decided to oppose a resolution honoring International Women’s Day. On Monday, only two […]

Prostitution Bill Blows Wad In Premature Rejection

As Jesse Paul reports for the Colorado Sun, a piece of controversial legislation we predicted wouldn’t survive its first committee hearing in the Colorado legislature will meet its ignominious end, as the sponsor of legislation that would have legalized prostitution betwixt consenting non-trafficked adults admits there is no appetite for this bill in our state/nation’s […]

Who Will Be the Democratic Nominee for Attorney General? (3/26)

The race for the Democratic nomination for Attorney General is the busiest Primary of the cycle (other than the 137 people seeking the Republican nomination for Governor, but that’s an entirely different kind of mess). The winner of the Democratic Primary will be heavily-favored in a General Election to defeat Republican Michael Allen (the District […]

Senate Rejects War Powers Resolution; Hickenlooper, Democrats Flip “America First” Message

Senate Democrats on Wednesday voiced concerns about an unpopular war with Iran as part of an effort to refocus attention on affordability and economic costs in the United States.

A Reminder Why Democrats Love The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners

We have covered for many years in this space the machinations of a group that has, while pushing their single issue with single-minded ferocity, become both political legend and cautionary tale. The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, founded by “no compromise” Second Amendment purist Dudley Brown, have earned a reputation for strictly enforcing their blanket opposition […]

New Candidate Enters Race in CO-03

There’s a new candidate for Congress in CO-03, where freshman Rep. Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) is trying to keep his seat after recently losing the endorsement of President Trump. Dwayne Romero, a Democrat from Aspen, announced on Tuesday that he is joining the race to unseat Hurd. Romero is starting his campaign later […]

Attention Gov. Polis: One Of These Felonies Is Not Like The Other

UPDATE: Attorney General and candidate for governor Phil Weiser speaks out strongly against clemency for Tina Peters: “Reducing the sentence of convicted former clerk Tina Peters for tampering with election equipment would be a grave miscarriage of justice and dangerous for free and fair elections. My office worked with the Mesa County district attorney to […]

Why Is Inflation? (feat. Manny Rutinel)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, does Colorado have MAGA Democrats? One concerning candidate forum might provide an answer. Then, Donald Trump delivered his first-ish State of the Union address in his second term; what did it mean for Colorado? Next, we visit our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado and check in with our […]

Hillary Clinton Destroys Boebert After Absurd “Pizzagate” Questioning

As readers know, Colorado’s cacophonic cornucopia of crazy Rep. Lauren Boebert nearly derailed the deposition last Thursday of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by the House Oversight Committee regarding deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after Boebert leaked a photo of Clinton to a right-wing social media celeb against the rules governing the closed-door hearing. […]

Jeff Crank Supports Trump Rationale for Iran War…Whatever It Is

Congressman Jeff Crank (R-Colo. Springs) is determined to prove to President Trump that he can be a better toadie than fellow freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton). Crank was a guest on the right-wing “Jeff and Bill Show” on Monday to discuss the decision by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu President Trump to attack Iran. […]

Colorado Building Up Public Health Warning System that Trump Abandoned

In mid-January, the United States completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) after 78 years of membership and despite being a founding member of the group. The Trump administration cited concerns about the WHO’s “mishandling” of the COVID-19 pandemic and vague complaints about needed reforms and political influence from member countries. As Scott […]

What in the Hell Are These People Doing?

MONDAY UPDATE (March 2): We received the following email regarding this story that was initially caught in our spam filters. The message is from Maureen Maycheco of COLOR Action Fund: I’m writing regarding your recent coverage of the CD-8 Community Power Town Hall hosted by COLOR Action Fund and Working Families Power.

Jeff Hurd’s “Bread Sandwich” Strategy For Outlasting Donald Trump

As the Durango Herald reports, last night nominal Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd hosted his first public availability since being disowned by Donald Trump last weekend, and Trump threw his support to Hurd’s crackpot challenger Hope Scheppleman. And in Hurd’s now-trademark so understated you barely know he’s there style, Hurd studiously avoided the proverbial elephant in […]

‘They’re Afraid the AI Might Misgender Someone,’ Says Congressman of AI Regulations

(The jerk store called and they’re all outta Gabe — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder With the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, municipalities and states are looking to mitigate the impact of data centers and the influence of technology and its impact on education and children.

This Goes Out to All You Legislative Lunatics

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of cold hard cash, what does the SCOTUS tariff smackdown mean for Colorado’s 8th favorite member of congress?

The State of the Union is…Not Great

If you’re planning on watching the State of the Union (SOTU) speech tonight, you might want to take a nap first. President Trump has already indicated that his speech is going to be very long, which is notable considering that the Big Orange Guy is already well-known for delivering meandering remarks. Last year’s speech was […]

The Tariff Refund Battle Shifts Into High Gear

Senator John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) joined with 21 of his Democratic colleagues on Monday to introduce the Tariff Refund Act of 2026 to require the Trump administration to begin refunding some $175 billion tariffs collected since early 2025 — putting small businesses at the front of the line. As POLITICO reports: The bill — spearheaded by […]

Boebert Leads Charge For Fellow Republican’s Resignation

As Rachel Schilke reports for the Phil Anschutz-owned Washington Examiner, Colorado’s cantankerous carpetbagging caldron of calamity Rep.

Tony Gonzales after horrendous revelations of an affair with a staffer that ended […]

(Right the first time — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder During a committee meeting at the state Capitol Tuesday, state Rep.
