Republicans Misunderstand Leverage in Stupidest Shutdown Threat

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is really not very good at this whole governing thing. Like, historically bad. With less than 50 days to go until the 2024 Election, Johnson on Wednesday tried to ram through a continuing resolution to fund the government tied to a proposal so idiotic that many House Republicans publicly […]

Local GOP Fundraiser Packs Both Heat And Meat

‘Tis the season for fundraisers by party organizations great and small, and without much help expected from the internally riven and cash-starved Colorado Republican Party, the Montezuma County GOP is getting creative with their gimmicks to coax open the wallets of the party faithful. Or maybe you won’t find it creative at all, but at […]

No Pets Were Eaten During the Making of this Episode (feat. Sen. Michael Bennet)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…with less than two months to go until the biggest election of our lives, Kamalamentum is still picking up speed…or is it?  The media, and apparently a decently large slice of the American electorate, are grading Donald Trump on a rollercoaster sized curve; we ask, ‘Why the hell […]

Initiatives 50 and 108 are Officially Dead as Democrats Emerge Victorious

The wicked witch is dead. Both of them. As the Colorado Secretary of State’s office announced via press release this morning: Proponents of Proposed Initiative #50, “Voter Approval to Retain Additional Property Tax Revenue,” and Proposed Initiative #108, “Valuation for Assessments,” have withdrawn those measures from the 2024 General Election ballot. As a result, those […]

Who’s Paying For These Racist Anti-Harris Sign Stunts?

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 […]

Boebert’s Opponent Trisha Calvarese Wants Lots Of Televised Debates

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 […]

Unserious Candidate Requires Unserious Campaign to do Unserious Things

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 […]

RFK Jr.’s Scampaign To Limp On In Colorado To Own The Libs

As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, even though the floundering presidential campaign of Robert F.

Here’s a Smart Idea for Avoiding Another Round of Dumb Hostage-Taking on Policy Issues

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 […]

Rep. Brandi Bradley Desperate To Start Her Very Own Culture War

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 […]

New Financial Woes Add to Colorado Republican Party’s Long List of Problems

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.

Is Tina Peters A Public Safety Risk?
