At Least He’s Not Your Mayor, Free Fentanyl Edition

As KTLA-5 Los Angeles reports, it’s the feel-good local politics story of the week: A Southern California mayor facing a recall effort is coming under fire after his suggestion to ending his city’s homelessness issue was “giving them all the fentanyl they want.” The comments were made by longtime Lancaster Mayor Rex Parris during a […]

Easter Weekend Open Thread

Gabe Evans Tells Frightened Families To Embrace Trump’s “Chaos”

Reading today’s Unaffiliated newsletter from the Colorado Sun, we were briefly excited by a teaser promising after some scrolling to reveal “Gabe Evans’ one critique of Trump’s presidency.” Since GOP freshman Rep. Gabe Evans has established himself as Donald Trump’s most unflappable brown-nosing apologist west of Lauren Boebert herself, Evans putting even the slightest criticism […]

Coloradans Getting Impatient with Trump Destruction of Public Lands

As Jason Blevins reports today for The Colorado Sun, Coloradans are growing increasingly concerned about reductions in funding for public lands in our state: Senator John Hickenlooper is hearing a lot of frustration and anger as he tours the state this week. He’s telling people to organize and gather stories that reflect how public lands […]

Jeff Crank Inherits Trump Space Command Corruption Dilemma

As Lindsey Toomer reports for Colorado Newsline, the politically fraught years-long struggle over the permanent home of the U.S. Space Command, currently based at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs but threatened with being uprooted and moved to Alabama as a reward for the political loyalty of the state’s elected officials to Donald Trump, […]

Hurd Takes Action To Protect Medicaid While Gabe Evans’ Excuse-a-Thon Goes On

Axios’ Andrew Solender reports today on major dissent building among U.S. House Republicans with a residual conscience, or failing that at least an instinct for self-preservation, against expected sweeping cuts to Medicaid as part of the “Big Beautiful Bill” being authored to enact President Donald Trump’s bulldozing fiscal agenda: A dozen swing-district and centrist House […]

The Triumph And The Trouble With Yadira Caraveo

As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, narrowly defeated former Rep. Yadira Caraveo is coming back for a rematch against vulnerable incumbent Rep. Gabe Evans in Colorado’s ultra-competitive CO-08 race, where hard questions about Caraveo’s record in Congress and, regrettably but inevitably, her personal struggle with mental illness while in office during her first term […]

Trump Tariffs Have Another Impact: Voters Now Trust Democrats More on Economy

Republicans have always fancied themselves as the more effective of the two major political parties when it comes to managing economic policies. For whatever reason, voters have largely bought into that narrative. But President Trump’s reckless Tariff War and the economic uncertainty created by his on/off/on/off impulsiveness are doing more than destroying consumer confidence and […]

Going Great: Republican Press Conference Interrupted by Racist Porn

Colorado Republicans and their emasculated “no compromise” gun rights leaders held a virtual press conference this morning to shake their collective fists over the passage of SB25-003…and to show off some racist pornography. Senate Bill 003 is the new gun safety legislation, signed by Gov. Jared Polis, that requires a permit and safety training to […]

Colorado Libertarians Offer Lesson in How Not to do Anything

The Colorado Libertarian Party has a long way to go in order to achieve any real political relevance in our state. About 37,000 Coloradans are registered as “Libertarians,” which accounts for about 0.009 percent of the state’s 4.1 million active voters. The recent actions of the CLP’s leadership probably won’t move those numbers any higher. […]

Gabe Evans’ Constituents Knocking, But Nobody’s Home

As FOX 31’s Gabrielle Franklin reports, residents of freshman GOP Rep. Gabe Evans‘ district are preparing more “People’s Town Halls” for the weekend after Easter to lodge their complaints over Evans’ votes in favor of and general canine loyalty to President Donald Trump as Trump’s reign of dictatorial destruction passes the three-month mark. Although these […]

Gabe Evans is Going Down with the Ship

Colorado’s eighth congressional district is the very definition of a toss-up race. In 2024, Republican Gabe Evans defeated Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo by less than one percentage point (49.0 – 48.2). National Democrats almost immediately declared CO-08 as a top pickup opportunity for 2026, when Republicans are expected to be heavy underdogs to maintain majority […]

Donald Trump is an Amazing Physical Specimen, or Whatever

President Trump underwent the first known physical examination of his second term last week. As you might expect, Trump got a glowing bill of health from the White House “doctor.” As BBC explains without cracking a smile: As a part of Friday’s nearly five-hour medical examination at the Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, Trump […]

Podcast: A More Consistent Number of Jason Banes (feat. Jessie Danielson)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…the race for Colorado’s next governor is officially on! And the winner will either be Attorney General Phil Weiser or US Senator Michael Bennet — you can bet on it. Then, don’t check your 401k or your kid’s college fund or any other investments for the next four years, as Donald Trump’s ridiculous […]

Thanks To Lauren Boebert, Greg Lopez Is Never Going Away

As 9NEWS’ Jennifer Campbell-Hicks reports this morning, one of the baddest pennies in Colorado Republican politics is back for yet another go-round: and unlike previous failed attempts including his primary defeat in 2022 at the hands of fellow gubernatorial megaloser Heidi Ganahl, perrennial candidate for anything and everything Greg Lopez has a new lease on […]

Colorado’s New Gun Law Is Great If You Know What It Actually Does

Yesterday afternoon, Gov. Jared Polis signed what will go down as one of the most noteworthy pieces of legislation of the 2025 session, a bill that establishes new education requirements for the purchase of certain semiautomatic firearms like the AR-15 class of “assault weapons” used in some of the deadliest mass shootings in recent American […]

Bennet Launches Campaign for Governor as Salazar Ponders

Senator Michael Bennet today kicked off his campaign for Governor in 2026, revealing what we have said was the “least-kept secret” in Colorado politics over the last six weeks. As Jesse Paul reports for The Colorado Sun, Bennet launched his 2026 campaign with a slew of big-name endorsements — including Reps. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) and […]

Michael Bennet Expected to Announce Run for Governor on Friday

Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) is expected to formally announce on Friday what has been the least-kept secret in Colorado politics for the last month: He is running for Governor in 2026. Bennet’s gubernatorial plans have been widely discussed in political circles for weeks;. We’ve been listing his name atop The Big Line since news […]

Asked and Answered: Trump Wonders How He Could be This Stupid

There is a remarkable video clip making the rounds on social media today of President Trump asking and answering the question that has been on every American’s mind for months: How could you be THIS STUPID and still end up as President of the United States? Here’s President Trump in his own words on Wednesday, […]

Kathleen Sgamma Becomes The Unlikeliest January 6th Martyr

A major development with local and national implications reported by the Colorado Sun’s Jason Blevins this morning, Kathleen Sgamma, the longtime Colorado-based oil and gas booster nominated by President Donald Trump with the support of fellow Coloradan Energy Secretary Chris Wright to lead the Bureau of Land Management, suddenly withdrew from the confirmation process: The […]

“Nut-Cutting Time” Has Arrived For Gabe Evans On Cutting Medicaid

Politico reports on this morning’s vote in the U.S. House passing the Senate’s version of a budget framework resolution that paves the way for, assuming lawmakers in the respective committees meet the targets in the resolution for massive reductions in spending, President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” to cut trillions from the federal budget while […]

In Douglas County, The Backstabbing Is Forever

UPDATE: Mystery solved! Former DougCo commissioner Lora Thomas is running for a seat on the Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors. Thomas’ committee registration form was filed with the Secretary of State yesterday. And the knives are already out. —– Few contemporary tales of intra-Republican infighting quite match the last few years in Colorado’s […]

On, Off. On, Off. Trump Treats Economy Like Pong*

UPDATE: Via David A. Graham of The Atlantic, this is even more confounding than you thought: This afternoon, President Donald Trump announced a partial pivot on social media. On the one hand, he ratcheted up tariffs on China to 125 percent. On the other hand, he announced that he was reducing tariffs on “more than […]

Boebert Backs Constitution-Busting Assault On Federal Judiciary

Yesterday, the U.S. House debated but then postponed a vote on a bill known as the No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA), sponsored by California’s Rep. Darrel Issa in response to numerous adversarial judicial rulings since Donald Trump retook office in January that have significantly slowed Trump’s controversial agenda. FOX News touted the measure yesterday: The […]

Colorado Republicans Don’t Understand…Colorado

Republicans control the White House, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives. Here in Colorado, Republicans haven’t won a statewide election since 2014 (unless you count Heidi Ganahl winning a CU Regent race in 2016…which we don’t) and have been exiled to micro minority status in the state legislature. Yet somehow Colorado Republicans […]
