Almost all of the weatherpeople say snowpocalypse is coming on Friday, which probably means it’s going to rain a little. Let’s Get More Smarter; if you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example).

This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discuss the massive stimulus package that was just passed by Congress and try to figure out what in the hell Rep. Ken Buck stands for. We also introduce a new segment we call “Legislating With Crayons,” and we dive into another […]
This just in from CNN, after the local group Rural Colorado United launched a campaign this week calling for the House Committee on Ethics to investigate freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert’s actions surrounding the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory: Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington […]
The House of Representatives today gave final approval to the American Rescue Plan (ARP), President Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill passed by the Senate last weekend that poll after poll has shown to be one of the most popular pieces of legislation in modern U.S. history. As expected, Colorado’s Congressional delegation voted along partisan lines. […]
Pat Poblete of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports on an incident yesterday in the Colorado Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee that should be getting more attention: The Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee had wrapped up roughly a half-hour of public testimony on a bill from Senate President Leroy Garcia, D-Pueblo, seeking […]
At 10:07 am this morning in Washington D.C., the House of Representatives held a Roll Call vote on a Motion to Adjourn, which is absolutely as stupid as it sounds. The Motion to Adjourn failed to pass, but not before 149 Republican Members of Congress voted ‘YES’ on ending their day before it even began […]
Today in the Colorado House, House Bill 21-1107, a bill sparked by the ugly backlash against public health authorities over necessary restrictions to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic last year passed by an overwhelmingly bipartisan majority: Under current law, it is unlawful for a person to make available on the internet personal information […]
Somewhere near Leadville, Colorado, on the way to Mount Elbert — Colorado’s highest mountain peak — there is an unmarked road that meanders beneath a towering forest of Aspen trees. If you follow this path and take a left at the beaver dam, you might be lucky enough to come across the spartan home […]
Happy “World Panic Day.” Please celebrate responsibly, or totally freak out; we’re not sure how to proceed here.

If you are more of an audio learner, check out The Get More Smarter Podcast. […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Faith Miller reports, debate on the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives went on and on for hours last night over what most people would consider to be a no-brainer bill, House Bill 21-1106, which requires gun owners in households with either children or people prohibited from possessing guns to take […]
That’s right, Colorado–we’re basking in springlike weather today, but by Friday it could be a very different world outdoors with the growing possibility of an historic blizzard of an intensity that locals swap stories about many years after. The last time Colorado’s Front Range saw as much snow as this admittedly optimistic forecast model predicts […]
CBS4 Denver’s Danielle Chavira reports on the passage in the U.S. Senate this weekend of the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion comprehensive package of economic relief measures intended to see the nation through to the light slowly emerging at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic’s tunnel: Colorado Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet praised […]
Chase Woodruff at Colorado Newsline took it upon himself to research a claim from Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert instead of taking it at face value–and as seems to be so often the case with Colorado’s favorite pistol-packing train wreck in Congress, Boebert’s story isn’t holding up real well under scrutiny: Speaking at a campaign event […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii review the wacky CPAC weekend — including Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert’s incomprehensible rhetoric — and break down the opening week(s) of the 2021 Colorado legislative session. Catch up on previous episodes of The Get More Smarter Podcast at GetMoreSmarter.com. Questions? Comments? […]
Colorado Republican Party press secretary CBS4 Denver political reporter Shaun Boyd is all over the latest stunt from the always-punchy (see: benzene exposure) Colorado Oil and Gas Association, responding to a decision last December by Colorado-based outdoor clothing manufacturer The North Face to reject an order of logoed jackets for Texas oilfield services company Innovex […]
The “Lofgren Report” is getting a lot of attention today, with Colorado Reps. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) and Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) both popping up in a collection of social media posts related to the terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and related efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential […]

As Colorado Public Radio’s Andrea Dukakis reports, the Catholic Church is back in the local news today on two very much separate but, singly or taken together nonetheless troubling fronts–the first being a directive from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops that observant Catholics should avoid the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine due to […]
By now, everyone is probably aware via global news coverage of an interview last week of Rep. Lauren Boebert with Steve Bannon lowering the discourse one again over HR5, the Equality Act bringing federal law into line with discrimination protections for LGBTQ people that are already settled law in Colorado–the UK Independent reports because we […]
UPDATE: Well played, Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver): LIVE: @SenatorHick reads letters from Coloradans impacted by COVID https://t.co/dqUGjkY4Kq — Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) March 4, 2021 —– As POLITICO reports, the U.S. Senate is at last preparing to vote on the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill favored by President Biden…as soon as Senate Republicans are done […]
Douglas County Republican Lora Thomas apparently has her sights set on a new job in 2022. From what we hear, Thomas is committed to running for Congress in CO-06, where Democrat Jason Crow was just re-elected by a 17 point margin. Thomas is a former dispatcher for the Colorado State Patrol who was elected Douglas […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim has a story up today that everyone in Washington, D.C. needs to read–especially Republicans throwing up objections to aid for state and local governments to offset shortfalls caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the economic relief legislation making its way through Congress: Since the passage of the CARES Act last […]
Certain Republican politicians in our state LOVE to talk about the so-called “war on rural Colorado.” This is a fun game in which you accuse politicians from more populated parts of the state — who normally happen to be Democrats — of intentionally trying to screw over more remote parts of the state because they […]
AP’s Lisa Mascaro reports, it’s insurrectionist deja vu all over again: The U.S. House is abruptly finishing its work for the week given the threat of violence at the Capitol by a militia group seeking to storm the building, as happened in a deadly siege Jan. 6. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer notified lawmakers late […]
Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) debuted her new column at far-right infotainment site The Blaze today, and as you could have predicted it’s more red meat than she could ever dream of shoveling to her supporters in 280-character increments on Twitter. But one particular line in Boebert’s high-dudgeon low-syllable column titled “If I were a […]
