Protecting and defending the Constitution doesn’t mean trying to rewrite the parts you don’t like. — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) February 19, 2021 The Hill reports on a Tweet yesterday morning, part of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s daily Twitter maelstrom in the image of Boebert’s Eternal President Donald Trump, that went viral on account of being so […]
Life is short, but as AP reports via the Colorado Sun from Fort Collins, clones live forever: Scientists have cloned the first U.S. endangered species, a black-footed ferret duplicated from the genes of an animal that died over 30 years ago… Elizabeth Ann was born and is being raised at a Fish and Wildlife Service […]

Maybe — and we’re just spitballing here — but maybe Colorado Republicans would be more successful at winning elections and advancing policy goals if they didn’t spend so much time being complete assholes. Take State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R-Akron), for example. This morning in the House Chambers, State Rep. Tom Sullivan (D-Centennial) came to the microphone […]
CBS4 Denver reports that Rep. Ken Buck, outgoing chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, is calling for Gov. Jared Polis to “boost” natural gas production in Colorado–after the state of Texas temporarily shut off exports of natural gas in order to restore stable electricity service to what’s become derisively known in recent days as the […]
(One election away from disaster – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Every year, Colorado’s most socially conservative lawmakers run an extreme anti-abortion bill that would make abortion illegal under essentially any circumstances. Every year, the bill fails. This year is no different, so far, despite Colorado voters’ recent rejection of an anti-abortion ballot measure and the […]
UPDATE: Congressman Jason Crow (D-Aurora) responds: —– The House Resources Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives met today for its first “organizing meeting” of the 117th Congress. Little in the way of Natural Resources business was discussed during the video conference, however, because Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) initiated a stunt about allowing guns in […]

AP reports on the scandal gripping the nation this morning as residents of the state of Texas grapple with another disastrous day of freezing temperatures and widespread power outages: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has traveled to Mexico for a family vacation as his home state struggles with a powerful winter storm that left many residents […]
Pat Poblete at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports on a Republican bill introduced in the Colorado Senate, Senate Bill 21-007, to crack down on the “problem” of millions of Coloradans voting by mail with no good reason other than it’s, you know, convenient–a.k.a the law of the land in Colorado since 2013, resulting […]

As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, freshman Rep. Ron Hanks of Penrose, who skipped out on the initial part of this year’s legislative session after showing up on January 13th to be sworn in a week after traveling to Washington, D.C. for the now-infamous January 6th “Stop the Steal” rally, came to work at […]
The arctic blast of cold air that dunked temperatures along the Front Range below well zero has caused big problems down in Texas where this kind of cold is decades-apart infrequent. Learning of major power shortages that have become prolonged power outages in Texas yesterday, Colorado’s Rep. Lauren Boebert did what she does best–swung into […]
There is an expected high temperature of 43 degrees Fahrenheit in Denver today; compared to the last few days, that’s practically beach weather. Now, let’s get even more smarterer.

Freelance writer Daniel Newhauser reports for Colorado Newsline, echoing anecdotes we’ve seen including the photo above taken in Colorado Springs over the weekend: Former President Donald Trump may have stepped back for now from the idea of creating a new political party, but that hasn’t stopped diehard Trump fans disillusioned with the Republican Party from […]
Earlier this month, State Sen. Kerry Donovan announced that she had filed paperwork to run for Congress in CO-03, seeking the Democratic nomination for the right to challenge Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) in November 2022. As the first serious challenger to Boebert, Donovan raised more than $100,000 in a matter of days, indicating that […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, although the second impeachment trial of now ex-President Donald Trump ended in the same predictable acquittal as Trump’s first trial year ago, the compelling performance of Colorado’s two impeachment managers, Joe Neguse and Diana DeGette, has set them up for political dividends even as the immediate battle was […]
UPDATE: Statement from impeachment manager Rep. Diana DeGette on today’s decision: “Our case was strong, the facts were clear and the evidence we presented was overwhelming. This was the largest bipartisan vote to impeach a president ever, and even Mitch McConnell agreed that we proved our case. It’s shameful that so many Senate Republicans chose […]
Axios reports, Republicans in Congress led by Colorado’s Rep. Ken Buck are leaning into the ongoing debate by Facebook’s external Oversight Board over whether or not to rescind the ban imposed on former President Donald Trump, following the failed January 6th insurrection Trump rallied and incited: The board is taking comments on whether it should […]

This afternoon, Lauren Windsor, progressive journalist for The Undercurrent, stopped off in Rifle, Colorado for a meal at the (in)famous Shooters Grill owned by Rep. Lauren Boebert–the restaurant that became known less than affectionately as the “COVID Cafe” after Boebert defied the local health department and reopened during last spring’s stay-at-home order. Most people who […]
“Fellow road warrior?” That, gentle readers, is how you take a scandalous frown and turn it upside down! This is what’s known as “chutzpah.” Respect it on a certain level. It’s worth asking though, does former Secretary of State Wayne Williams think every congressional ethics complaint is a joke? After buying a $700 pair of […]
Impeachment 2.0 has taken up all of the political oxygen this week, moving President Biden’s COVID relief bill to the sideline temporarily. But a bevy of new information shows that Republican opposition to the $1.9 trillion relief bill is wildly out of touch with the rest of America. As Paul Waldman explains for The Washington […]
