NPR reports, since COVID-19 is not disappearing as President Donald Trump assured us it would, something had to be done about the fast-approaching Republican National Convention being held mostly in Jacksonville, Florida after Charlotte, North Carolina couldn’t guarantee the health and safety of attendees–formality though it may be with Trump in total, some might say […]
This morning, freak-right GOP Rep. Dave Williams of Colorado Springs released a letter he sent to President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr, “formally” requesting the deployment of federal riot control police to Denver–where Mayor Michael Hancock this week joined with over a dozen mayors of major U.S. cities in demanding federal forces stand […]
As Blair Miller reports for Denver7, First Daughter Ivanka Trump is in Colorado today to do a little “greenwashing” with Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma): Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and adviser, will embark Thursday on a two-day trip to Colorado for a visit to Rocky Mountain National Park with the Interior secretary and a tour […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, the march to passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, which passed the U.S. Senate with wide bipartisan support and Sen. Cory Gardner’s earnest election-year blessing, went a little sideways yesterday after all of Colorado’s Republican members of Congress voted against the bill: Republican Reps. Ken Buck, Doug […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s Pandemic-Presidential-Pardoning-Pence-Pandering-Vice President-Picking-Palooza! (we’re getting a little out of control with the ‘p’ words). In this episode, we have another edition of the Boebert Report; we can’t seem to find our second favorite U.S. Senator from Colorado, Cory Gardner; AND we interview David Ortiz, Democratic Candidate for […]
Trigger warning, this video is violence pretty much from beginning to end. This is video shared with us today of an alleged attack in Teller County last Friday on a protest caravan demonstrating against Teller’s controversial policy of providing active assistance to federal immigration authorities. According to the group Abolish ICE Denver in a Facebook post […]
UPDATE: Eli Stokols, White House reporter for The Los Angeles Times, reports on more escalation from President Trump: Trump, hyping “bloodshed” in cities as a pretext, announces “a surge of federal law enforcement into American communities plagued by violent crime.” — Eli Stokols (@EliStokols) July 22, 2020 —– As Ryan Osborne at Denver7 reports: Denver […]
We’ve been tracking in this space the troubles for Republican Congressional candidate Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert over her previous comments of support for the controversial ‘QAnon’ movement. For obvious reasons, Boebert can’t seem to shake questions about her love for QAnon, and her campaign hasn’t figured out a good way out of this conundrum: Does she […]

UPDATE: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) calls Cory Gardner out: “Why did it take Senator Gardner days to answer for this ‘horrifying’ ad that exploits a family’s unimaginable trauma for his own political gain?” said DSCC spokesperson Helen Kalla. “His cowardly claim that he doesn’t have the ‘power’ to remove this ad is a […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has been an unapologetic supporter of Donald Trump since the Big Orange Guy was elected President in 2016. Trump famously confirmed Gardner’s loyalty at a Colorado Springs rally in February when he told the crowd that Gardner “has been with us 100%” before adding, “There was no waver with Cory and […]
Last week, a TV spot from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was roundly condemned for audaciously misleading viewers about the 2017 explosion of a home in Firestone caused by oil and gas company negligence that claimed the lives of two people and badly injured two others. Erin Martinez, one of the survivors of the […]
“The president took unprecedented action at the very front end of coronavirus.” The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) brings us the damning four seconds of video you can see above, from a longer social media video highlighting some of the most poorly-aged words to be found in 2020 political parlance–endangered Senate Republicans praising President Donald […]

It’s a story that’s been out of the headlines for some time now with the crush of other news, but we wanted to briefly touch on a lawsuit filed by big oil and gas producing rural counties led by the oh-so politically high profile Republican threesome on the Garfield County Board of Commissioners, Mike Samson, […]
Two years ago, Democrats absolutely demolished Republicans up and down the ballot in Colorado. To just about anyone with functioning eyeballs, the 2020 election looks equally bleak for the State GOP. In 2020, the top of the ticket for the GOP — President Trump and Sen. Cory Gardner — is about as popular as leprosy […]

The Denver Post’s Alex Burness takes a hard look today at the rapidly declining fortunes of GOP House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, emerging as the biggest loser of the June 30th primary election after a slate of allied House candidates crucial for Neville’s ongoing grip on leadership was trounced. As we foresaw early this month, […]
As we we discussed last week and Colorado Public Radio reported, Republican House Minority Leader Patrick Neville threatened a lawsuit on Thursday in response to the statewide face mask executive order issued by Gov. Jared Polis, which came after weeks of pleading by public health authorities to take this additional step as COVID-19 cases grow […]
Bizwest’s Dan Mika via the Greeley Tribune has a story up today with what may honestly be the dumbest headline you’ll see this week, and in 2020 that is no small achievement: That’s right, readers, with a straight face, Dan Haley of the Colorado Oil and gas Association wants you to believe that a 2019 […]
If you believe in that kind of stuff, now’s the time to bestow some metaphysical goodwill on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday she is undergoing chemotherapy to treat a recurrence of cancer. The treatment is yielding “positive results,” the 87-year-old liberal justice said in a statement, adding […]
Yesterday, as readers know, Gov. Jared Polis announced a statewide order requiring everyone to wear face masks in public–an order that came after a controversially lengthy delay, in which Gov. Polis hesitated to mandate masks like many other states including politically conservative strongholds like Texas and Alabama have already done in response to renewed growth […]
UPDATE: Gov. John Hickenlooper’s campaign joins the call to pull the ad off the air: Erin Martinez is absolutely correct — Washington Republicans must take down their ‘horrifying’ and false attack and stop exploiting this tragedy and distorting the facts to score political points.” Here is the truth. As Governor, Hickenlooper held oil and gas […]
UPDATE: CPR reports that Gov. Jared Polis has finally issued a statewide mask order: After pleading, prodding, cajoling, using both friendly and harsh language, and appealing to the better civic sensibilities of Coloradans everywhere, Gov. Jared Polis has finally done what he’s been resistant to do. The governor has issued a statewide face mask order. […]
UPDATE: Gardner raised $3.6 million in Q2, meaning Hickenlooper has now outraised the incumbent in three consecutive fundraising quarters. Gardner has $10.7 million cash on hand, which is about $1 million more than he had in the bank after Q1; in other words, Gardner’s burn rate is not great. Hickenlooper has $4.6 million cash on […]
