As Colorado Newsline’s Lindsey Toomer reports, Democratic CU Regent Wanda James is launching a primary challenge to unseat the “Dean of the Colorado delegation,” nearly 30-year veteran Rep. Diana DeGette of deep navy blue CO-01: “The old politics of caution and careerism cannot meet the moment,” James’ campaign website says. “America needs leaders who see […]
UPDATE: As David Sims writes for The Atlantic, Kimmel’s indefinite suspension marks a significant escalation for Trumpland: There have already been signs that President Donald Trump’s administration is intent on punishing perceived critics in the media, no matter what complaints about free speech might arise, but the chain of events that shut down Jimmy Kimmel […]
As Politico reports, another moment of high manufactured drama from the ever-melodramatic Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina fizzled out yesterday afternoon, as a resolution fast-tracked by Rep. Mace to censure and strip of all committee assignments Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota over Omar’s remarks about deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk failed by a single […]
One month from tomorrow, a Northern Colorado Republican group will host a candidate forum featuring 15 people seeking the GOP nomination for Governor in 2026. We only recognize about half of the names advertised for the October 18th event, but they all have one thing in common… None of them are going to be the […]
UPDATE: Rep. Ken DeGraaf responds to your humble hosts: We feel like we’re speaking for everyone when we say…okie dokie then. —– Following the sudden resignation of Republican House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese at the beginning of the week, the jockeying is on among the “Mighty 22” to find a successor willing to take on […]
(The stache is back — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Fremont County Commissioner Kevin Grantham is running for state Treasurer. The longtime public official also served in the Colorado state Senate from 2011 – 2019. During his time in the legislature, Grantham was a member of the Joint Budget […]
Back in June, we took note of a series of photo-op stops by America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans to locations in his district who have been or are about to be negatively impacted by policies of the Trump administration, and in particular the “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill for […]
Apparently without much notice even to her colleages in the Colorado House GOP minority caucus, Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports that Minority Leader Rose Pugliese will resign her El Paso County seat effective immediately, complaining about the “toxic” work environment in the aftermath of the controversy over now ex-Rep. Ryan Armagost’s (and much of […]
In the days since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as readers know, his supporters have organized what might be considered a fitting tribute to the divisive and pugilistic Kirk’s life and work: a campaign to document every case of individuals from all walks of life expressing something other than effusive praise for Kirk […]
UPDATE: CO-08 leading contender Shannon Bird quickly fires off a thank-you to Yadira Caraveo for bowing out: “Yadira and I joined the Colorado House together in 2019, and I’ve always admired her commitment to public service and delivering for our communities. As a pediatrician, state legislator, and Congresswoman, Yadira has always fought to make life […]
In the wake of the shooting death of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk, there was a wave of comments by politicians on both sides of the aisle calling for an end to divisive political rhetoric. Some of those comments were less believable than others — such as President Trump bemoaning the “demonizing” of political opponents […]
In the nearly two days since the assassination on Wednesday of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, mourning from conservatives over Kirk’s death has been channeled into a nationwide campaign to publicly shame and unemploy anyone they can find who failed to express the appropriate level of grief and remorse over the passing […]
In the aftermath of Wednesday’s killing of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, there has been an endless stream of irresponsible chatter online (and at Fox News) about “political violence” and the United States reaching a “turning point” on the issue — including some disturbing suggestions […]

One injured student remains hospitalized in critical condition; another has been moved to Children’s Hospital but has improved. —– UPDATE: Officials say that Evergreen High School has been cleared and there is no longer an active threat. 9News reports that one of the […]

When President Trump announced last week (again) that he was moving Space Command headquarters from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, Colorado’s entire Congressional delegation responded in rare agreement on a joint statement condemning the decision and promising that the HQ location fight wasn’t finished. Here’s what that statement from September […]
A seemingly out-of-the-blue message last night from America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans invited us in for a closer look: This is Evans praising what he calls “innovative technology” and the importance of “investing” your tax dollars in making our military “the strongest in the world.” Making this point about how awesome American military […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, HOLY SHIT, it’s Episode 250!!! And we have a great one for you. First up, RFK Jr. gets his ass handed to him in a Senate Finance Committee Hearing and absolutely lied in his confirmation hearings. Relatedly: Governor Polis took quick action to make sure Coloradans still have access to lifesaving vaccines, […]
As NBC News reports, yesterday was a pretty bad day for Republicans wishing along with President Donald Trump that the unrelenting controversy over the case of deceased pedophile billionaire and former close friend of Trump Jeffrey Epstein would have subsided over the long August congressional recess. It didn’t, and it’s getting worse by the minute: […]
In less than eight months, President Trump has driven a strong American economy right off of a cliff thanks mostly to his unpredictable, nonsensical, and probably illegal tariff policies. Unemployment numbers are at their highest levels in more than four years — in June, the United States saw its first month of job losses since […]
A press advisory this morning directs interested parties to Historic Fort Lupton tomorrow evening, a notable venue as we’ll explain, for the announcement we’ve been awaiting for months: not so much out of anticipation rather than simply watching the requisite boxes get checked on the way to launching a campaign for governor that even many […]
(Very fine Libertarians — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Leaders of the Colorado Republican and Libertarian parties held a joint public discussion on the Twitter Spaces platform last week. Billed as a “Special Session Recap,” the online event drew a few hundred listeners curious to hear the state chairs […]
CNN kicks off your weekend with a fresh dose of troubling economic news: Economists were already expecting an unimpressive set of data for the August jobs report. The actual numbers came in far worse: Just 22,000 jobs were added in August, compared to expectations for 76,500 new roles. June’s job total was negative, shedding 13,000 […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado State Budget got a billion dollar cut, again, thanks to Gabe Evans, Jeff Hurd, and the rest of the Republicans Colorado sends to Washington. We break down the outcome of the recently concluded Special Session. Then, friend of the pod Governor Jared Polis has some…words for HHS Secretary RFK Junior, […]
It would be nearly impossible to list all of the different ways that President Trump has critically damaged the United States — not just now, but for years to come. Assuming that this country still exists in a few years, we may well look back on this week as a tipping point for the Trump […]
