Yesterday, quasi-incumbent carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert faced off against her Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese in a debate hosted by the Douglas County Economic Development Corporation and the conservative-leaning Colorado Springs Gazette. As we discussed last week, this debate was not broadcast on television and was not open to the public, severely limiting its value to […]
9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reported on Friday evening on an unusual and potentially troubling resolution to a photo radar ticket issued against a sitting state legislator, Democratic Rep. Steven Woodrow, who appears to have beaten his ticket by asserting a state constitutional immunity privilege meant to protect state lawmakers from being detained by corrupt cops on […]
Jesse Paul and Brian Eason of the Colorado Sun report today on the aftermath of last week’s special session of the Colorado General Assembly, called by Gov. Jared Polis to pass legislation on property taxes intended to mollify backers of a pair of highly irresponsible ballot measures that would have, if passed, posed a serious […]
It’s no secret that the issue of abortion rights has been a primary driver for voters since the June 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade that removed federal protections for reproductive health care for women. In every state that has held a vote on abortion rights since the 2022 SCOTUS decision — red […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports, the faction of the Colorado Republican Party’s Central Committee loyal to embattled chairman Dave “Brandon Who?” Williams met as planned under a bridge in Bayfield a month ago to vote on whether to retain Williams as chairman–and like the vote last week by dissident central committee members to […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark tracked down the maker of the racist signs that popped up on East Colfax yesterday morning, and it’s a well-known far-right “street artist” with a long list of similar campaigns in other cities, including a similar sign posted outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week: A Republican activist […]
A release from Governor Jared Polis this afternoon celebrates the successful conclusion of a special session of the Colorado General Assembly, with the passage of property tax relief legislation that will–as long as all sides keep their word–result in the removal of two considerably more extreme property tax cut measures which have already qualified: “Today […]
Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance continues to campaign across the country for the GOP Presidential ticket while Donald Trump spends most of his time golfing. All of that practice might be making Trump a better golfer, but it is definitely not making Vance a better candidate. Vance hasn’t exactly taken America by storm. He’s […]
After winning the Republican primary to take over Ken Buck’s deep-red conservative congressional seat, Rep. Lauren Boebert has been on carpetbagging cruise control, spending more time helping her friends like Rep. Matt Gaetz keep their seats than campaigning for her own election. Boebert’s Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese, who bested a troubled perennial candidate for the […]
More has been reported on this story — and there’s a new update — since the story first leaked out on Monday. We’ll show you the Tweet first, so you can gauge your own reaction: As USA Today explained further: The Trump campaign bought $48,000 worth of advertising in Florida in the West Palm Beach […]
UPDATE: Identity theft! Hackers! Fraud! Colorado GOP so-called Ballot and Election Security Committee Chairman “Raging” Ron Hanks sends an update to the party faithful blasting the “squatters” who voted last weekend to oust chairman Dave Williams, and asking for Williams’ supporters to show up to the “real” meeting this coming Saturday in Castle Rock: Last […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, even though the floundering presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been suspended and the candidate has endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Kennedy intends to remain on the ballot in states where is presence is not perceived as a spoiler threat to Trump. That includes here in […]
UPDATE #2: Colorado Democrats would be falling down on the job if they did not take maximum advantage of the Colorado Republican Party’s leadership crisis: Another meeting of the Colorado GOP is scheduled for August 31, 2024, to continue the drama, where it’s possible Party leaders may be removed (again) – or maybe not – […]
UPDATE: What in the hell is the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce doing? Take a look at this from CPR’s Andy Kenney: We weren’t aware that the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce was involved in the mess known as Initiatives 50 and 108…so why are they getting involved now? —– Lawmakers today kicked off the […]
After the vote by a substantial faction of Colorado Republican Party Central Committee members this weekend to fire state party chairman Dave “Brandon Has Left The Building” Williams along with a pair of Williams’ executive loyalists, Williams remains defiant in a statement to the New York Times last night, stating as everyone already knew that […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports this Saturday evening, a hard-won meeting of Colorado Republican Party Central Committee members for the purpose of voting out the current executive leadership of the party starting with chairman and twice-failed congressional candidate Dave “Need A New Nickname, Brandon” Williams took place at a church in Brighton today, and those […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…at least one of us is coming to you live-ish from Chicago where Democrats are producing a convention full of joy, hope, optimism, and more than a few Colorado cameos to counter the GOP convention that was about…hell, who knows? We’ve got plenty of non-DNC stuff to discuss, […]
AP reports from the Sunshine State, where the petty culture-war persecution of LGBTQ+ people by the state’s belligerently conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken another small-minded turn, and this time could cost the state millions in tourism revenue: Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors and St. Petersburg are among several Florida cities that have long […]
Vice President Kamala Harris closed out the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday evening with a rousing speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President and kicking off the last two month scramble toward Election Day. Thursday’s speaker lineup also included two Colorado elected officials: Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Aurora). Governor […]
Colorado lawmakers will return to the State Capitol on Monday for (another) special legislative session focused on property tax rates. It may turn out that the most important discussion from this brief return of legislators could be about a Constitutional amendment that would be a smart issue to tackle in the next regular legislative session […]
Colorado state Rep. Brandi Bradley, now doing double culture-war duty as the leader of the brand-new Douglas County chapter of Moms For Liberty (yes, those Moms For Liberty), has been on the clamorous frontlines of every conceivable wedge issue during her relatively short time in office, earning her a spot in the Colorado House Republican […]
As HuffPost’s Kate Nicholson reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled this week a new program allowing foreign citizens fleeing “destructive neoliberal ideals” in Western nations (that’s you, America) to apply for political asylum in Russia and escape once and for all the woke West and all the icky things we let people do with each […]
(Worse than you thought — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder On the campaign trail, congressional candidate Gabe Evans talks a lot about his experience in the military, police force, and Colorado Legislature. But what you don’t hear him discuss in any detail – and what’s completely absent […]
Readers may recall back in 2020 when a Republican candidate for House District 34, Mark Bromley, was effectively disowned by the district Republican party after getting in a public spat with a homeschool parent. Bromley went on to lose this competitive House race to the incumbent Rep. Kyle Mullica, who was in turn succeeded by […]
The Colorado Republican Party has been getting a lot of terrible press coverage lately for sending emails in support of various state legislative candidates that contain flat-out disgusting rhetoric and ridiculous accusations. Those emails have been so bad, in fact, that Republican candidates intended to benefit from them are speaking out in condemnation instead. For […]
