Mayor Mike Coffman’s Feckless Fake Resistance Goes On

The Aurora Sentinel’s Cassandra Ballard reports today on the fallout over Tuesday night’s address by President Donald Trump to a joint session of Congress, in which the long-debunked and reborn falsehoods about the supposed “takeover” of the city of Aurora by migrant gangs continued to flow freely from the presidential piehole: During his speech to […]

Rep. Jeff Crank Chooses Deep Denial Of Medicaid Cuts

While Democrats like Rep. Jason Crow host capacity crowd town halls full of constituents angry over the Trump 2.0 administration’s bulldozing of the federal government since taking office in January, Republicans have been advised by their leadership to avoid in-person events where the public can ask unscripted questions–or at least switch to telephone-based town halls, […]

Trump Steering Economy Off a Cliff

Economic news continues to darken faster than JD Vance’s eyeliner.

Congressman Jeff Hurd left the proceedings without speaking. […]

His […]

Economy Takes a Nosedive Thanks to Trump Tariffs

Vance riding shotgun has once again left literally everyone in the world […]

It’s 2017 All Over Again As Rep. Jason Crow Hosts Massive Town Hall

As Cassandra Ballard reports for the Aurora Sentinel, last night Democratic Rep.
