UPDATE #2: Here’s the total: UPDATE: And here’s another first. —– The House of Representatives has voted to impeach President Donald Trump on the charge of “willful incitement of insurrection.” Trump is now the first and only President in the history of the United States to be impeached twice. At least 10 Republicans joined Democrats in […]
UPDATE: Politico reports that the Colorado delegation isn’t taking this adverse decision lying down: “This last-minute decision, based entirely on political expediency, will devastate our space capabilities,” [Rep. Doug] Lamborn wrote. “I call on you to use your authority upon taking office as our nation’s commoner-in-chief to reverse this foolish and hastily made decision.” Separately, […]
Congresswoman Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-Rifle) delivered her first speech on the House floor a week ago today, just minutes before Trump-inspired terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol. That speech was filled with ominous and threatening language, including her statement that, “I have constituents outside this building right now,” and another quote that should be repeated back […]
Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) is not known as a man of firm convictions. This is primarily because it is genuinely impossible to know where Buck stands on certain issues at any one time. You can generally count on Buck, who also serves as the Colorado Republican Party Chairman, to voice at least one idiotic opinion […]
Our first podcast episode of 2021 is a big one: We have an EXCLUSIVE interview with Rep. Jason Crow (D-Aurora), detailing the harrowing moments surrounding last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol. Hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with Rep. Crow about the events of January 6; his confrontation with a fellow House Member the […]
UPDATE 6:23PM: Boebert was allowed onto the House floor. Her refusal to allow her bag to be searched is odd. Perhaps she doesn’t want anyone to know that she doesn’t really carry a gun around in the Capitol. —– UPDATE 5:40PM: This seems to be escalating quickly: Lauren Boebert is refusing to comply with the metal detector […]
AP reports via the Colorado Sun on another Colorado state representative who was on the scene at last Wednesday’s deadly insurrectionist riot at the U.S. Capitol–actually a representative-elect, Ron Hanks of Fremont County, who will be sworn in to represent House District 60 tomorrow morning to succeed term-limited Rep. Jim Wilson: [I]ncoming Colorado state Rep. […]
A sincere privilege to meet Secretary of State Pompeo, who has helped MAGA in so many ways. History will look kindly about how President Trump and he handled ISIS, Iran, Middle East peace deals, North Korea, China, etc. Secretary Pompeo is a true patriot! pic.twitter.com/aXdpzzp7ds — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) January 10, 2021 Bryan Lowry, Washington […]
As Denver7 reports today, the FBI is warning of the possibility of continued violence ahead of the inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20th, as dead-ender Donald Trump loyalists rage on in denial of the 2020 presidential election after last week’s failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol: ABC News was the first to report the […]

Last week’s failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, committed by thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump who surrounded and then smashed their way into the building as a joint session of Congress ground through the final steps in confirming Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory, has become a watershed moment in American democracy like nothing […]

FOX 31 Denver ran a story yesterday featuring former Congressman and two-time GOP gubernatorial loser Bob Beauprez, who still wields a great deal of influence within the dysfunctional Colorado Republican Party, bemoaning the violence committed by fellow Republicans at the U.S. Capitol this week in the name of outgoing President Donald Trump: “I woke up […]
Asked yesterday by the Colorado Sun if he blamed President Donald Trump for the violence committed by Trump’s supporters after Trump directed them to the Capitol during yesterday’s “Wild Protest” riot, Colorado GOP chairman Rep. Ken Buck at that moment was standing by his man: “I was a prosecutor for 25 years. When people […]
Shortly before the U.S. Capitol was overrun by Trump-supporting terrorists on Wednesday, freshman Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert was among the first Members of Congress to deliver a speech on the House floor about her objection to counting the electoral votes from the State of Arizona. You can view the entire speech above, but we’ve […]
Yesterday’s violent assault on the U.S. Capitol by thousands of supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump has once again completely upended national politics with less the two weeks remaining before Joe Biden is sworn into office. In less than 24 hours, Trump’s much-balleyhooed “Wild Protest” devolved from a final bit of catharsis for the defeated […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Facebook exchange today, the editorial page editor of the Colorado Springs Gazette wrote of the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol: “They looked nothing like members of the typical Trump rally crowd. Probably Antifa.” The Editor, Wayne Laugesen, did not respond to inquiries via email and Facebook Messenger asking […]
UPDATE #7: Via CNN and Getty Images: —– UPDATE #6: President Trump has repeatedly declined to say anything further that might defuse the situation. —– UPDATE #5: President Trump Tweets a very weak response after encouraging the protests earlier: Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of […]
As POLITICO reports: Joe Biden has selected Judge Merrick Garland to serve as his attorney general, according to two people with knowledge of the decision. Biden selected Garland over former Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) and former deputy attorney general Sally Yates, choosing to elevate the chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals in […]
If there’s anything we’re sick of in these first days of January 2021, it’s coming up with fresh superlatives to describe the year that just ended. 2020 in the United States and in Colorado was one of the most challenging years in the lifetimes of everyone now living–a true annus horribilis if ever there was […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Angry about Colorado’s public health orders requiring restaurants to restrict services during the pandemic, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) accused Colorado Gov. Jared Polis of sending “Brown Shirts in to make sure everyone shuts down.” “Brown Shirt” is a term used to describe a member of the Sturmabteilung, Hitler’s Nazi militia […]
A group of Republican Members of Congress on Wednesday will object to efforts to finalize the 2020 election of Democrat Joe Biden as the next President of the United States. These efforts are widely expected to fail, as POLITICO explains: The Senate Republicans opposed to certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win are heading toward a hefty […]
November 3, 2020, 7:01 p.m. That was the exact moment when we learned that Republican Sen. Cory Gardner had lost his bid for re-election to Democrat John Hickenlooper. Gardner was so far out of contention in 2020 that the race for U.S. Senate was called literally one minute after the polls closed in Colorado. It […]
