With the Colorado General Assembly getting back to work next week after a monthlong COVID-imposed hiatus, one of the more curious stories we’re following is that of freshman Republican Rep.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Journalists have been asking U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for documentation to support a reimbursement of $22,259 for mileage driven during her successful election campaign last year. Boebert said she might provide her proof with journalists “if I liked them.” “Maybe if I liked them, I would throw them a little […]

Former Colorado Senator Cory Gardner was a guest on “Fox and Friends” on Wednesday morning to discuss his new career venture running a SuperPAC for Republican candidates. But before Gardner discussed his new fundraising job, talking muppet Ainsley Earhardt asked Gardner to comment on Tuesday’s opening hearings in the second impeachment trial against President Trump. […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk Impeachment 2.0; keep apologizing to the rest of the country for Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert as the first serious contender to challenge for CO-3 announces; and discuss the Republican “Civil War,” to the extent that it really exists. Later, we […]
A press release yesterday from state Sen. Kerry Donovan announces that her days-old campaign looking to take out Rep. Lauren Boebert in 2022 brought in plenty of cash to get off the ground: The Kerry Donovan for Congress campaign reached the milestone of $100,000 raised on Monday evening, less than five days after launching. “When […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette updates from Saturday’s meeting of the El Paso County Republican Party, where concerns about armed militia “guarding” the meeting did not materialize but the conspiracy theorist chair of the county party Vicki Tonkins was re-elected in a close and disputed election against former county commish establishmentarian Peggy Littleton: […]

UPDATE: AP’s Nick Riccardi observes correctly, this isn’t a promotion: Have always been skeptical at the notion that Gardner would run again for #cosen or even #cogov but this seems to put the nail in the coffin https://t.co/tZFrshWLq1 — Nick Riccardi (@NickRiccardi) February 9, 2021 —– For months since losing the 2020 U.S. Senate election […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: At some point on Monday, Buck deleted the ridiculous Tweet below. Today, he re-upped the same inaccurate accusation…just with different words: The White House is planning to treat illegal immigrants convicted of crimes like assault and drug offensives better than they do our own Keystone Pipeline workers. https://t.co/BDBzW1d7Fp — Congressman Ken Buck (@RepKenBuck) February […]
Back in December, Colorado Pols first reported on suspiciously large mileage reimbursements from Rep. Lauren Boebert’s campaign account, pocketing over $21,000 in one lump sum on November 11th alone–compared to Rep. Scott Tipton reimbursing for about $10,000 during his entire decade in office. The Denver Post followed up this story last week, and determined through […]
Yesterday evening, Rep. Lauren Boebert took some time out of her busy schedule (she still has her committee assignments, after all) to mingle with National Guard troops deployed to defend the U.S. Capitol in the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection against the building and its occupants. No doubt the troops were polite, and some […]
And as The Hill reports, the former President could end the GOP as we know it with one weird trick: A majority of Republican voters said if former President Trump were to start a new political party they would likely join, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds. Sixty-four percent of registered Republican voters in the Jan. […]

Chase Woodruff at Colorado Newsline reports on a potentially explosive new angle on the story of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s dubiously large reimbursements from her campaign accounts for mileage, racking up more such expenses in one election season than her predecessor did in a decade: Less than two weeks before being elected to represent Colorado’s 3rd […]
We’ve been discussing in this space recently a story about Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert and a rather questionable mileage reimbursement check she wrote herself from her campaign account back in November. According to Justin Wingerter of The Denver Post, this questionable reimbursement has now officially led to a Congressional ethics complaint. From “The Spot” newsletter: U.S. Rep. […]
State Sen. Kerry Donovan (D-Vail) filed paperwork on Wednesday to become an official candidate for Congress in Colorado’s third congressional district, which is currently represented by freshman Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle). Today, Donovan made the news, uh, super-official with a video announcement that included a not-so-subtle jab at Q*Bert: “Real toughness isn’t something you […]
Five days ago, the RMPBS reported on Gov. Jared Polis and First Gentleman Marlon Reis receiving their first doses of coronavirus vaccine at the Salud Clinic in Commerce City: As thousands of Colorado senior citizens reported to Coors Field Saturday, January 30 to receive their COVID-19 vaccines, Governor Jared Polis and First Gentleman Marlon Reis […]
THURSDAY UPDATE #2: Open mouth, insert foot: Hypocrisy 101: @IlhanMN cites my legitimate mileage reimbursements while she paid her husband* over $1 million in campaign consulting fees. *Not her brother, the new husband. — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) February 4, 2021 —– THURSDAY UPDATE: This story is everywhere. Here are just a few of the links: ♦ Fox […]
Congresswoman Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert has generated a significant amount of attention since winning election in Colorado’s third congressional district. Much of that attention has been, well, less than flattering, but it has nevertheless made her into a social media curiosity and a familiar name to politically-interested observers around the country. A handful of mostly-unknown people […]
As the Casper, Wyoming Star Tribune reports, Gov. Mark Gordon is giving aid and comfort to the longshot campaign by conservative activists in Weld County, Colorado to secede from our state and give our northern neighbors a penetrating new appendage: On Monday, Gordon — appearing on Colorado’s KOA News Radio — said he was supportive […]

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The Colorado Springs Gazette’s Ernest Luning usefully updates this story, and though it appears that the United American Defense Force militia group will not be providing security at this weekend’s El Paso County GOP central committee meeting as previously reported, the state of play is still quite confusing: El Paso County Republicans have […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii wrap up a month that seemed like it would never end and revisit “The Boebert Report.” We also discuss the race for the next State Republican Party Chair and the odd story of Weld County, Wyoming.
