UPDATE: Reps. Joe Neguse (D) and Jeff Hurd (R) issue a bipartisan statement blasting the now-dead public land sale provision in the GOP budget bill: Today, Congressmen Joe Neguse (CO-02) and Jeff Hurd (CO-03), who together represent Colorado’s Western Slope, issued the following statement after the Senate parliamentarian ruled Monday evening to remove provisions that […]
Some politicians seem to have an innate gift for making absolute fools of themselves. Congressman Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) appears to be just that kind of politician. Hurd has somehow found a new way to make a complete ass of himself when it comes to the widely-despised “big, beautiful, bullshit bill” currently being […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, Washington is abuzz this morning after a group of Democratic U.S. Senators led by Colorado’s Sen. John Hickenlooper pulled off a protest concert inside the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was taken over by the Trump administration soon after taking power, after Donald Trump personally objected […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the big beautiful bullshit bill is banging around in the US Senate, and the longer it does, the worse it gets for President Trump and the Republicans who voted for it. Then, Remember Stagflation — that thing that is worse than both a stagnating economy and inflation? Well, it’s […]
Ever since the Republican trifecta in Washington, D.C. under President Donald Trump started work on their reconciliation budget package intended to jam though Trump’s agenda without a single Democratic vote, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans has walked a delicate tightrope between the interests of his swing congressional district and the historic cuts to […]
In case you missed the big news on Saturday evening (North American time), President Trump backtracked on years of anti-war claims by ordering the bombing of three sites believed to be key to Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. As Michael Burnbaum and Natalie Allison report for The Washington Post: Trump’s decision to strike Iran marked an […]
As we noted a few months ago, President Trump somehow finally noticed that he has a portrait hanging in the State Capitol — a likeness that does not please his Orangeness — and this non-controversy has generated new questions about why we hang pictures of Presidents in a state capitol in general. As The Colorado […]
It’s a maneuver beloved by shifty politicians and others looking for a quick way out of unpleasant interactions with bill collectors, small talk with in-laws, and other such dodgeable moments–and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) this week caught America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans red-handed pulling the “fake phone call” trick to avoid […]

As Colorado Newsline reports, we’re seeing the first estimates now of what the impacts will be to Colorado’s state budget if the Republican trifecta in total control in Washington, D.C. passes the “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget reconciliation package that will cut funding from Medicaid, food assistance, and innumerable other programs that Coloradans […]
We’ve been keeping an eye on the campaign finance reports and personal financial disclosures of Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-Windsor) since we first reported in December 2020 that Boebert had collected nearly $30,000 in “mileage reimbursements” from her campaign account. At the time, Boebert’s claim was that she spent the equivalent amount of time on the […]

Just before Memorial Day weekend, we took note of an order from Donald Trump’s new Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, directing national parks and monuments to remove interpretive signage and other materials that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.” This order affects parks and historic sites related to slavery, the Civil War, wars against […]
New polling data from KFF makes it clear that President Trump’s “big beautiful bullshit bill” — what we have taken to calling the “We’re All Going to Die Act” — is about as beloved by Americans as genital warts. According to the latest health tracking poll from KFF (formerly the Kaiser Family Foundation): The “One […]
There are many environmental and public lands decisions made by a particular Congress or a Presidential administration that can be reversed or rolled back by a subsequent change in leadership. One administration may open up oil and gas drilling in a particular area, for example, while the next might decide to change those permissions. That’s […]
Two new polls released this week in the 2026 Democratic primary races for governor and attorney general from Global Strategy Group each show exactly what we would expect: the candidates with the highest name recognition among likely primary voters with strong leads in their respective races. The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports on the gubernatorial […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann and Nick Coltrain report, get ready for a new MyPillow discount code: INEEDTWOMILLIONBUCKS. Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and one of the most prominent conspiracy theorists about the 2020 presidential election, defamed a former Dominion Voting Systems director when he called him “treasonous,” a Colorado jury found Monday. […]
In the immediate aftermath of Saturday morning’s harrowing assassination of a Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota and the wounding of a second along with their spouses, as the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports, Republicans across the nation jumped to conclusions based on partial and as it turns out highly incomplete information about the suspected killer, Vance Boelter, […]

Democratic Members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation strongly condemned Thursday’s unprecedented action in Los Angeles in which a sitting U.S. Senator (Sen. Alex Padilla) was forcibly removed from a press conference being held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Republicans in Colorado’s delegation were decidedly less concerned. Thanks to Colorado Public Radio and social media, […]
Republicans in Colorado and across the country have long claimed to be strident supporters of the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution. You know the one: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. […]
As Denver7’s Brandon Richard reports, the Trump-addled Justice Department under Pam Bondi has issued a highly unusual and expansive request for elections data from Colorado on the last two presidential elections in 2020 and 2024, reportedly in reponse to a “complaint” made to the Department from (we assume) one of the many kooks and conspiracy […]
UPDATE: Rep. Jason Crow responds: When a U.S. Senator gets thrown to the ground, manhandled, and handcuffed for doing their job, ask yourself—how will they treat you & your family? This type of stuff happens in dictatorships, not democracies. Donald Trump wants total control. But we will not be intimidated. https://t.co/GDVnWfQ3uF — Rep. Jason Crow […]
Freshman Republican Rep. Gabe Evans campaigned for office in full agreement with Donald Trump’s promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the country, subsidizing Trump’s wildly exaggerated claims that the city of Aurora had been “overrun” by migrant gangs and appearing with Trump at his rally last October near Denver International Airport promised that […]
