UPDATE: It doesn’t appear that there is much enthusiasm for “tapping in” temporary Speaker “Mini” Patrick McHenry to at least allow the House to function a bit more than is possible currently. And in case you were wondering…things could still somehow actually get WORSE: Cammack also said there’s concern inside GOP conference that granting McHenry […]
(Never forget — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Mike Coffman wants to be elected mayor of Aurora again, but for most of his 34-year political career, Coffman was a warrior for issues that had little to do with city government and everything to do with spreading a right-wing agenda across Colorado and the country. Immigration […]
UPDATE #2: Rep. Joe Neguse of Boulder channels the mood as “Gym” Jordan loses on his first ballot: No word on when that next vote will take place. In short, it’s January all over again. —– UPDATE: Rep. Ken Buck votes for Rep. Tom Emmer after missing the first roll call. Ken Buck planting the […]
UPDATE: So say we all: Debunking the Bigfoot video is bad for the sustainability of a profit-driven advertising-supported late-capitalist business model for local news, so make sure it doesn't happen — and if it does, do NOT put it in the headline — Corey Hutchins (@CoreyHutchins) October 12, 2023 We promise not to be the […]
As readers know, the marquee question on this year’s statewide election ballot is Proposition HH, a referred measure from the state legislature supported by Gov. Jared Polis to slow the increase on property taxes after an historic runup of home values in Colorado over the last few years. Proposition HH limits the pain for homeowners […]
Like a bicycle with only one tire or a two-inch-long drinking straw, an endorsement in Colorado from Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton is pretty much useless. But as Ernest Luning reported last week for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, the Cotton endorsement has nevertheless returned for 2024…though for a different type of […]
It’s been a bad couple of days weeks months for Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle). It would be a rough week for any politician to have been the butt of jokes on late-night television for a scandal (#Beetlebert) that happened nearly a month ago. But Monday’s comedic onslaught is already the least of Boebert’s worries. On […]
With the Hollywood writer’s strike settled, late night television returned with new episodes this week. There was plenty of news to catch up on in opening monologues, and Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) was featured in most of them for her #Beetlebert scandal. Let’s take a look at all of the ways in which our […]
An agreement was reached on Saturday night for a relatively “clean” continuing resolution to fund the federal government for a further six weeks, avoiding the government shutdown widely expected when we last wrote on the subject Friday afternoon. Generally perceived as a capitulation by Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy who abandoned his own […]
Below are some of the claims Coffman made about his time on the streets, followed by my perspective from what I witnessed. Coffman: “I never met anybody in the encampments that, you know, mentioned a desire to get a job or move away from there. I think it’s very sad.” (KHOW Dan Caplis Show 5/19/21) […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, the explosive, sustained controversy over GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s churlish and lascivious behavior inside Denver’s Buell Theater during a performance of the musical adaptation of Beetlejuice on September 10 has forced a prominent Mesa County Republican elected official to take the unusual step of rescinding his endorsement […]
If you think Santa Claus has a big list to deal with every year, just wait until you see the potential lineup of Republican candidates considering a bid for Congress in CO-04. Incumbent Republican Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley) appears to be leaning toward retirement from Congress rather than running for a sixth term in 2024. […]
UPDATE: Sen. John Hickenlooper agrees, it’s time for Sen. Bob Menendez to hang it up: “We have a system in this country that’s based on trust,” Hickenlooper said. “Abe Lincoln said ‘with public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed.’ Trust has to be paramount in our government. I think he should resign.” […]
CNN puts the best face possible on GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s bad situation in an update today: Speaker Kevin McCarthy, facing a looming government shutdown deadline and intense pressure from his right flank, projected optimism that his conference can work together on potential tweaks to the conservative stopgap measure. “I feel like we are” […]
The sordid tale of GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s calamitous visit to Denver’s Buell Theater a week ago to disrupt watch the new Beetlejuice musical took yet another quizzical turn yesterday as leading celebrity gossip site TMZ caught up with Boebert at Washington “Don’t Call It Reagan” National Airport, and asked her in the friendliest […]
We’ve written about the #Beetlebert scandal as it has unfolded this week, including the latest video evidence that Rep. Lauren Boebert’s spokespeople were flat-out lying when they denied allegations that Boebert was vaping in the theater during a performance in Denver of the popular Beetlejuice musical. It’s important now to take a step back from […]
(“Conservative affirmative action” tries to live down John Eastman — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last month law professor Todd Zywicki spoke at the Steamboat Institute’s Freedom Conference, an annual gathering of conservative pundits and professionals that has veered further right in recent years. David O. Williams previewed the event for the Colorado Times Recorder. Before […]
UPDATE: One Buck forward, Two Bucks back as Politico reports this afternoon: Ken Buck, a member of the House Freedom Caucus who was previously skeptical of an impeachment inquiry, seems to have changed his mind after Speaker Kevin McCarthy moved to open the inquiry without a vote. “I think it’s a good move. We have […]
Early in the summer, Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams announced that he had formed an alliance of some sort between the Colorado GOP and the Colorado Libertarian Party (LPCO). Nearly four months later, the results of this alliance have proven to be a bit elusive. The stated goal — from Williams’s point of view, […]
President Biden issued a A Proclamation on Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance for today, marking the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Governor Jared Polis ordered all flags to be lowered to half-staff today in memoriam of those who lost their lives that day. Let’s Get More Smarter. If you think we […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dan Caplis is a serious lawyer, or so he says. So serious, in fact, that he’s trademarked the phrase, “a serious firm for serious cases.” Jenna Ellis is not a serious lawyer, but she has been charged with serious crimes. She also admitted, in her formal censure by Colorado’s Office of […]
Colorado’s new universal preschool program is still being rolled out across the state, and despite a few hiccups for one of Gov. Jared Polis’s signature issues, tens of thousands of families are taking advantage of the opportunity. As Ann Schimke reports for Chalkbeat Colorado, participants in the program are happy to get started: The new […]
Members of Congress are out of Washington for the August recess, but as the Washington Post reported Wednesday, a daunting pile of unfinished business awaits to be worked out when members return next month–and the narrow GOP House majority is divided on whether to govern like grownups, or once again force the nation down the […]
(Throwing crazy money after bad — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ex-Trump attorney turned far-right radio host Jenna Ellis has raised over $100,000 for her legal defense. Her top donors include fellow election-denying talk show hosts as well as other MAGA Republicans. Charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy related to attempting to overturn the 2020 […]
The first debate among Republican Presidential hopefuls will take place on Wednesday evening (7:00 MST) in Milwaukee, the city that will also host the 2024 Republican National Convention.
