Yesterday’s bombshell report from Colorado Newsline’s Chase Woodruff disclosed immigration records that upend freshman GOP Rep. Gabe Evans’ biography as he has represented it to voters during his brief career in elected office. Evans, a staunch defender of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign who helped Trump spread wildly exaggerated stories about Aurora, Colorado on […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-Windsor) has been more of a sideshow than a productive Member of Congress in her three terms in the House of Representatives. Boebert’s former constituents in the third congressional district quickly grew tired of her time-wasting antics, which is how Boebert ended up moving across the state to run for an open […]
CBS News reports that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has pinballed in recent days between lip service to releasing the list of clients of deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein regardless of who it might implicate and expressing “trust” that the administration will “do the right thing” after Donald Trump tried and spectacularly failed last […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the 2026 Primary field for Colorado Democrats up and down the ticket is getting crowded! And we’ve got a big announcement for you on what that means for the podcast! Then, are you a human being, with a body, and, skin, and organs, and stuff like that […]
Freshman GOP Rep. Gabe Evans campaigned for office last year as a full-throated supporter of Donald Trump’s vow to carry out “the largest deportation campaign in American history,” to the extent of helping spread Trump’s wildly exaggerated claims about the city of Aurora, Colorado being “overrun” by migrant gangs while local officials like Aurora’s Republican […]
Colorado Republicans have long claimed that our state is a playground for criminals, a narrative driven by outrageous claims that Denver is a crime-ridden hellhole. Facts have not generally supported this hysteria, and Colorado voters have tended to ignore the “sky is falling” tales from Republicans. Back in 2014, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez tried […]
Earlier this month, Democratic state representative and congressional candidate Manny Rutinel was given a much-deserved rhetorical spanking by 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark after committing one of the oldest, most avoidable, and yet all too common faux pas in Colorado politics: campaign materials featuring landscape photos of mountains not located in Colorado. In our two decades of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder A clean energy company pulled the plug on a $190 million battery facility in the district of U.S. Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) in early May, a few weeks before Evans and fellow House Republicans voted for the first version of the so-called Big Beautiful […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, the story that broke this week in the Washington Post about Republican political consultant Jeff Small’s rebuffed approaches to Republican county clerks to permit outside access to voting equipment, a la convicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, is taking a turn towards something closer to extortion and […]
A bombshell story in the Wall Street Journal last night has opened a new front in the Beltway-consuming controversy over the Trump administration’s spectacularly failed attempt to bury the investigation into deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein–describing a letter allegedly sent by now-President Donald Trump to Epstein on the occasion of the latter’s 50th birthday that…strongly […]
Politico reports today from the White House press briefing, where press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed calls from a growing number of Republicans for a special prosecutor to investigate the handling of the case of deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday said President Donald Trump would not recommend a […]
The fundraising reports for Q2 are finally available for both state and federal campaigns. We also now have enough people running for various seats that we can actually compare some of those numbers. So, let’s do that… We’ve taken a look already at the races for Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and Secretary of State. […]
It has been well documented that the “big, beautiful, bullshit budget bill” that Congressional Republicans passed earlier this month that was signed into law by President Trump will be devastating for millions of Americans who will lose access to health care coverage through Medicaid or food benefits from SNAP. In the final version of the […]
UPDATE: Denver Post’s Seth Klamann: At least 10 Republican clerks were contacted by consultant Jeff Small, officials said Wednesday. Small, who has Colorado political connections, told the clerks that he was working on the project for the White House and the U.S. departments of Justice and Homeland Security, and he said he wanted the clerks […]
The fundraising reports for Q2 are finally available for both state and federal campaigns. We also now have enough people running for various seats that we can actually compare some of those numbers. So, let’s do that… We looked at the race for Governor already, so now it’s time to finish up the other statewide […]
As CNBC’s Kevin Breuninger reports, the growing intraparty crisis among MAGA Republicans over the Trump administration’s handling of what was once a central tenet of the movement’s conspiracy canon–evidence allegedly left behind by deceased billionaire child molester Jeffrey Epstein implicating a cross-section of elite society in an international sex trafficking ring–exploded today after President and […]
The fundraising reports for Q2 are finally available for both state and federal campaigns. We also now have enough people running for various seats that we can actually compare some of those numbers. So, let’s do that… We’ll start here with the biggest prize on the 2026 ballot: The open seat for Governor. As a […]
Apologies gentle readers, the utter preposterousness of what you’re about to read has temporarily overloaded our comms channels: We deserve the truth about the Epstein Files. I'm ready for a Special Counsel to handle this. @MattGaetz, how about it? https://t.co/cEco2orhWl — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) July 15, 2025 For those of you who have been living […]
Today is July 15, which means campaign finance reports from Q2 are available peruse. It also means that potential candidates who were waiting to announce their campaigns until after the Q2 fundraising period can now officially get moving. State Senator Jessie Danielson (D-Wheat Ridge) made it official this morning that she will seek the Democratic […]
As Colorado Newsline reports, local officials are currently analyzing the impact of the recently-passed Republican federal budget bill on Colorado’s already strained state budget, looking to determine whether a special session of the legislature will be necessary to reallocate reduced resources to minimize the pain to Medicaid patients, food assistance beneficiairies, and so many others […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, incumbent Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper added another $1.5 million to his campaign war chest in the second quarter of 2025, checking the boxes necessary to remain the prohibitive favorite for re-election to his seat next year: The quarter’s haul pushes the former two-term governor’s […]
Colorado Republicans like few things more than attacking other Colorado Republicans. This has always been a problem for the GOP in Colorado, but the pastime has only grown as Republicans increasingly find themselves further and further from the levers of power. Republican infighting is particularly intense in the state legislature, where wacko members of the […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports, another MAGA patriot has allegedly taken matters into his own hands, delivering a dose of vigilante justice to enforce the continuing dogmatic insistence on the part of President Donald Trump and everyone who wants to curry favor with him that the 2020 presidential election was stolen in a […]
(What about the grandmas, Gabe? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Congressman Gabe Evans says 100% of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) deportations and detentions in Colorado — even of people without any criminal charges or deportation order — are correct and justified. He says he knows this because […]
Republican candidates have been getting creamed in Colorado for more than a decade now. There are a lot of reasons for the GOP’s persistent failure to attract interest from voters — more than we could possibly explain in one sitting — but near the top of that list would be the Colorado Republican habit of […]
