(There’s always room for one more in the Moving Mountains Club — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert released a “February Recap” video, an official communication which updates constituents on the recent work she’s been doing on their behalf. The video opens with her in front of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. Jared Polis is now telling lawmakers that he will take no action until after the Colorado […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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. As for the legislation at hand, as The New York Times reports, Republican Senators refused to stand in the way of President Trump’s ability to continue […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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. […]
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 […]
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. First, the organization’s […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: This morning, House Majority Leader Monica Duran released the following statement addressing an ongoing controversy we’ve discussed in this space, first reported by John Frank at Axios, after a piñata with the face of Democratic CO-08 candidate Shannon Bird was displayed on stage at a candidate forum featuring Bird’s opponents. We’re reprinting her […]
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 […]
(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. Denver recently […]
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? Then, while President Trump flails on the national stage, Colorado democrats take the gloves off and jump into the redistricting fight with […]
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 […]
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 […]
As Rachel Schilke reports for the Phil Anschutz-owned Washington Examiner, Colorado’s cantankerous carpetbagging caldron of calamity Rep. Lauren Boebert appears to have once again set aside partisanship to strike a blow for victimized women everywhere, demanding the resignation of Texas GOP 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. Brandi Bradley, a Douglas County Republican, firmly pushed back against accusations from several witnesses that she was using a sweeping gun-control repeal bill as a PR stunt. But […]
