A letter from the Federal Election Commission to the treasurer of Boebert’s 2022 reelection campaign inquired about four Venmo payments totaling over $6,000. FEC filings show the payments came […]

The Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson follows up on a story we’ve been watching for several months now–a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former staffer for Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn of El Paso County alleging Lamborn deliberately created an unsafe working environment during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, displaying wanton disregard for best practices […]
(The asylum is under new management – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The chair of the Colorado Republican Party’s new committee to safeguard the state’s elections is also a member of and working closely with a QAnon-linked election fraud conspiracy group. The group, the U.S. Election Integrity Plan (USEIP), was founded in Colorado last November. It […]
(Where there’s a recall, there’s a Gessler — Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s a basic maxim of plumbers that “Shit flows downhill.” An epic battle over whose shit will flow downhill from the foothills of western Jefferson County, through the scenic Rooney Valley area, to the Denver Water Treatment plant, and where and when said […]
The Asheville Citizen Times reports via USA TODAY, it’s a story Colorado political observers know all too well: U.S. House member Madison Cawthorn had his gun taken by airport police and will likely face a federal fine and loss of a special security status, local and federal officials said.

Last night on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, reporter Gary Tuchman took an in-depth and extremely unflattering look at how freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert’s vitriolic dismissal of the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic is playing out on the ground in Boebert’s district as the Delta variant surges and hospitals struggle to cope. The result is […]

At first glance, it just seems like another serving of talk-radio red meat from Colorado’s favorite Republican train wreck Rep. Lauren “Q*bert” Boebert–a presumably dead-on-arrival appropriations amendment striking a blow against that most un-Godly of communist contraptions, the bicycle: Rep. Lauren Boebert has filed an approps amendment which would prevent the Interior Department from subsidizing […]

I met the Republican woman who is running against Lauren Boebert. In fact, I invited her to my home to meet with a local blogger and a retired nurse, who is also a “retired” Republican after 30 years of supporting the GOP. I know it is odd for a liberal, as I am known to […]

While Republicans in El Paso County reckon with the upcoming keynote speaker for their county party’s annual Lincoln Day fundraising dinner, the Q-believing, mass-shooting denying, Jewish space laser early warning system Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, over in Colorado’s other conservative stronghold of Mesa County, freshman Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert is doing her level […]
