CNN reports on a legitimately yuge first full quarter of incumbent fundraising for none other than Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who came in like a wrecking ball to Congress along with fellow “Q-some Twosome” freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and has despite Boebert’s best efforts at making offensive headlines has consistently managed […]

The Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter previewed a series of executive orders from President Joe Biden announced a short while ago this morning in response to recent mass shootings including the killing of ten people at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder last month: President Joe Biden’s administration will announce Thursday that it will further regulate […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dan West reports, something unexpected happened in yesterday’s City Council elections in the conservative stronghold of Grand Junction: Current Council Member Rick Taggart was re-elected, switching districts from At Large to District A. Dennis Simpson (District D), Abe Herman (District E) and Randall Rietz (At Large) also won their races. […]
Losing the 2020 Presidential election has led many Republicans across the country to confront an uncomfortable truth: A majority of Americans just don’t like them. For these Republicans, the solution to their electoral problem is not to find a better way to connect with voters or to adjust their policies or campaign strategies. Instead, their […]

Denver7’s Blair Miller reports on final passage this week of Senate Bill 21-078, the “Isabella Joy Thallas Act” requiring guns that are lost or stolen to be reported as such to police within 5 days of becoming aware they are missing: The bill, if passed and signed into law by Gov. Polis, would require people […]
Fresh off his loss to Kristi Burton Brown in the race to be the next Colorado Republican Party chairman, former Secretary of State, “election truther” of record, and red meat slinger extraordinaire Scott Gessler seems much more upfront about how he really feels: By “communists” we don’t think Gessler means you personally. We don’t think. […]
We noted earlier today the growing chatter about Denver being awarded the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and the related discussion about Colorado’s election laws as compared to the new draconian regulations instituted in Georgia. Republicans are making a concerted effort to spin a completely false narrative that Colorado’s election laws are actually MORE restrictive […]
Yesterday afternoon, Colorado’s Congressional Redistricting Commission voted to 11-0 to remove Republican Danny Moore from his position as chairman of the commission, with Moore himself abstaining. This vote came just a few days after a news story disclosing Moore’s history of second-guessing the results of the 2020 presidential election, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic as the […]
UPDATE: Statement from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold: Colorado is recognized as the national gold standard for elections, and I’m thrilled with the decision to move the MLB All-Star Game to Coors Field in Denver. The truth is Colorado’s election model works. We mail ballots to all voters, have early voting, and same day […]
UPDATE 8:00PM: It’s for real, folks, get ready to party like it’s 2021: DENVER (AP) — AP source: MLB to relocate All-Star Game to Denver’s Coors Field after pulling it from Atlanta over Georgia voting laws. — Jonathan Lemire (@JonLemire) April 6, 2021 FOX 31’s Colleen Flynn: Major League Baseball is expected to announce that […]
Fox News’ Brittany De Lea reports that Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado is all over the deadly vehicular attack last Friday on U.S. Capitol Police that left one officer as well as the mentally ill sole perpetrator dead–or more to the point, all over the blame game for the attack: Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., questioned […]

As noted by Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette, what we assume was a relic from the 2020 elections still lurking in the Colorado Republican Party’s A/V department has taken a turn for the ironic: .@cologop says don’t read anything into the old Gardner for Senate graphic in the background of new CO GOP […]
As The Hill newspaper reports, corporations and business executives are growing louder in their condemnation of a sweeping rollback of voting rights in Georgia that was signed into law by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in March: Georgia lawmakers are on defense as prominent companies and business executives have come out in opposition to legislation signed […]
ABC News reports the latest on allegations that flamboyant Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz has sexual proclivities that, as former President Donald Trump once infamously said of Jeff Epstein as a compliment, run on the “younger side.” Which is the polite way to describe alleged sex trafficking of minors: The federal investigation targeting Republican Rep. […]
MONDAY UPDATE: Lamborn finally finished his 4-part Tweet on Sunday, though the entire exercise was largely just repeating most of the first Tweet three more times. —– Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) is not universally regarded as someone whom you might classify as a deep thinker. Since first winning election in 2006, Lamborn has spent […]
Colorado Newsline’s Faith Miller reports on a quasi-filibustering yesterday by minority Republicans in the Colorado House of House Bill 21-1108: a bill that clarifies Colorado’s robust anti-discrimination laws to specifically include transgender people under such protections, which is already how the courts have interpreted the law in practice. HB-1108 would clarify that the state’s existing […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discuss the Colorado Republican Party’s historically unsuccessful new leadership team; the election fraud truther on the Colorado Independent Redistricting Commission; infrastructure week (for real this time); and another segment of “Legislating With Crayons,” in which Republicans unwittingly make the case for […]
This is the only day in 2021 where it will make sense that Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert is in Congress.

If you are more of an audio learner, check out The Get More Smarter […]
UPDATE: Colorado Public Radio reports that Rep. Lauren Boebert raised about $700,000 in Q1 of 2021–not a disaster, but considering Sen. Kerry Donovan didn’t even get into the race until February and raised almost as much it’s not particularly auspicious either. Original post follows. —– The handicappers at Politico are very impressed: The top Democrat […]
When we last left the Recall Polis 2.0 campaign back in December of 2020, organizers were attempting to explain to their dismayed volunteers how despite all their best efforts, less than one third of the required 600,000+ signatures that would be required to put a recall question against Gov. Jared Polis on a statewide ballot […]
This is Danny Moore. He is a Republican from Centennial, and the recently-elected Chairperson of the Colorado Independent Congressional Redistricting Committee. 9News reported on Monday that Moore “is an election-rigging conspiracy theorist,” which is odd. Evan Wyloge of the Colorado Springs Gazette followed up with another story today in which Moore makes no apologies for […]
The Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports on a mailing list-building gimmick from the nationwide conservative advocacy group Americans For Prosperity’s Colorado chapter, who is apparently giving away five (count ’em) $200 prepaid gas cards to five lucky winners who provide the group with their contact information: Jesse Mallory, the conservative organization’s state director and […]
