Industries with Highest Risk of Asbestos Exposure

For a long time, asbestos was considered to be the perfect substance to be used in material and equipment. It is resistant to fire and heat, along with being incredibly durable and a poor conductor of electricity. It was just about everywhere in the US. It is still used in the present day, but only in limited […]

BREAKING: Did Boebert Lie About Capitol Tours?

UPDATE #2: Rep. Lauren Boebert denies Rep. Steve Cohen’s allegation that he saw Boebert with a “large group” in the tunnels under the Capitol, expanding her previous denials to say flatly “I did not give any tours between Jan 3rd and 6th.” Only one of them is telling the truth, and there is an investigation […]

Forecast Colorado Trump Protests Fizzle, So Far…

Colorado Public Radio’s Megan Verlee reports that despite what you may have been told to expect, the revolution did not begin yesterday either: A smattering of people collected on the steps of Colorado’s Capitol on Sunday, a far cry from the massive, potentially violent protests federal and state authorities had braced for. A woman held […]

2022 Redistricting thoughts:

I’ve actually been thinking a lot about redistricting and have some thoughts. If you go to https://www.census.gov/mycd/ you can actually see the specific populations of various districts including those in Colorado from 2019 estimates. Ideally a congressional district is supposed to have approx. 711,000. Based on this, the Colorado districts with the most population over […]

Ed Perlmutter Has Had Enough of This Election Fraud Crap

Congressman Ed Perlmutter (D-Jefferson County) is making headlines today for challenging Republican Rep. Jim Jordan — an Ohio Republican and close ally of President Trump whom Trump is awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom — during a remote House Rules Committee hearing on a proposed resolution to encourage implementation of the 25th Amendment to remove […]

State Rep. Kevin Van Winkle Considering a Run For Congress?

(Don’t sleep through it – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rumors of a Republican statehouse leader considering a run for Congress have been circulating the Colorado Capitol for weeks now, but they focused on former House Minority Leader Patrick Neville. Now it looks like Neville’s former right-hand man, Rep. Kevin Van Winkle (R-Highland Ranch), is also […]

NBC News Calls Georgia for Ossoff; Democrats Control Senate

As NBC News reports: Jon Ossoff defeated Republican David Perdue and Raphael Warnock won over GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler in Georgia, NBC News projects. The twin wins for Democrats in Tuesday’s election give the party control of the Senate, which will stand at 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, allowing incoming Vice President Kamala Harris to […]

Merrick Garland for Attorney General

As POLITICO reports: Joe Biden has selected Judge Merrick Garland to serve as his attorney general, according to two people with knowledge of the decision. Biden selected Garland over former Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) and former deputy attorney general Sally Yates, choosing to elevate the chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals in […]

2020’s Top Story (Tie): The Pandemic And The Struggle For Justice

If there’s anything we’re sick of in these first days of January 2021, it’s coming up with fresh superlatives to describe the year that just ended. 2020 in the United States and in Colorado was one of the most challenging years in the lifetimes of everyone now living–a true annus horribilis if ever there was […]

Neguse Takes Leading Role Opposing GOP Election Challenge

A group of Republican Members of Congress on Wednesday will object to efforts to finalize the 2020 election of Democrat Joe Biden as the next President of the United States. These efforts are widely expected to fail, as POLITICO explains: The Senate Republicans opposed to certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win are heading toward a hefty […]

Top Ten Stories of 2020 #4: Lunacy Becomes GOP Platform

Republicans have not been very competitive in Colorado elections in recent years, helping to turn what was once a swing state into a solid blue rectangle. Republican ineptitude was not a new story in 2020, but there was a different flavor to the Colorado GOP’s brand of nonsense in the weirdest year any of us […]

Top Stories of 2020 #5: Tipton’s Fall, “Q*Bert’s” Rise

As the old saying goes, “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” And the story of the ascension to Congress by the most unqualified and unabashedly fringe candidate perhaps in Colorado’s entire history began with the very much unexpected defeat of five-term incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton in the 2020 CD-3 Republican primary by […]

Top Ten Stories of 2020 #8: The Trouble With Andrew Romanoff

Now-defeated Sen. Cory Gardner came into 2020 as the nation’s most vulnerable incumbent Republican U.S. Senator up for re-election. Running in a state that has steadily shifted leftward politically since Gardner’s narrow election in 2014, and with Gardner having lashed himself to an unpopular President Donald Trump to preserve his GOP base, Republicans were desperate […]

Deep Thoughts By Lauren Boebert: “Irony”

It’s time to return again to a new feature we call “Deep Thoughts By Lauren Boebert.” When last we caught up with Congresswoman-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, she was busy trying to explain the “algorithms” that done messed up the 2020 election for her man President Trump. Today, Boebert sent out a tweet that wouldn’t even […]
