UPDATE: So Much For That DHS “Sanctuary” List Republicans Beclowned

MONDAY UPDATE: Since our original post on Friday below, the story of the Department of Homeland Security’s list of so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions,” originally released chock full of amateur mistakes, turned farcical as numerous Republicans raced to have locations represented by themselves removed from the list like Aurora city councillor Danielle Jurinsky took credit for achieving […]

PSA: Don’t Threaten Public Officials, Even For Donald Trump

As AP’s Colleen Slevin reports via the Durango Herald, a gentleman from Cortez with the eminently Colorado name Teak Ty Brockbank was sentenced yesterday to three years in the federal pokey after making conpiracy theory-inspired death threats against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold that contained the requisite specificity to go beyond free speech (here’s […]

Trump Administration Releases Sloppy List of Sanctuary…Things

Perhaps DOGE fired all of the copy editors in the federal government. On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services under Robert F.

Tariffs On…Tariffs Off…Tariffs On…

President Trump’s on-again, off-again Tariff War took a jarring set of turns in the last 24 hours.

Jeff Hurd’s Heartbreaking Excuses For Slashing Medicaid

Jeff Hurd of Grand Junction, whose district is home to the […]

The Trickle Down Political Effect of “One-Term Gabe Evans”

Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft.

RMGO Emasculates Colorado’s Biggest Gun Rights Representative

You Need to Know About this Scary Addition to House GOP Budget Bill

House Republicans continue to push forward with a massive budget proposal that would fund President Trump’s tax cuts for rich people largely by gutting Medicaid and other critical government programs such as SNAP (food stamps).

As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, America’s Most Vulnerable Republican™ Rep.
