(Yikes – Promoted by Colorado Pols) At a Republican party meeting in Montrose last night, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert appeared to defend those who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, saying, “We already see in Washington, D.C., you can’t petition your government, you’re an insurrectionist if you do that.” Boebert’s jaw-dropping statement came towards the […]
Last week the House of Representatives gave final approval to The American Rescue Plan (ARP), a $1.9 trillion stimulus package that President Biden promptly signed into law. The ARP contains all kinds of helpful things for Americans of all political backgrounds, including $1,400 direct payments to families; extended unemployment benefits; the expansion of child tax […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports, Rep. Deb Haaland of New Mexico has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the next Secretary of the Interior, elevating a 35th generation Pueblo Native American to the highest authority over the nation’s land use policies short of the President himself. It’s an historic moment. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a GOP chair forum hosted by an election-fraud conspiracy group, former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler bragged about being responsible for a negative news report about the current Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Asked to list his unpaid work on behalf of the Colorado GOP during the last election, […]

It’s another photo of Colorado Republican Party Chairman Rep. Ken Buck with his beloved boltless AR-15 at his Washington, D.C. office, but with a twist: this time wearing a face mask emblazoned with Rep. Lauren Boebert’s famous retort to Beto O’Rourke in September of 2019 in Aurora, arguably the moment that launched Boebert’s unlikely political […]

It is no secret that outside interests and lobbyists often craft legislation that an elected representative ends up carrying on their behalf. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this practice — particularly in a state like Colorado where legislators are not full-time lawmakers and only convene for about four months every year — but it’s been […]
As the Daily Beast reports, far-right militia organizer Ammon Bundy, who led an armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon in 2016 after his father Cliven Bundy’s standoff in 2014 with Bureau of Land Management officials in Nevada over unpaid cattle grazing fees, is on a tour to promote his new so-called […]
UPDATE: Somebody give Rep. Lauren Boebert a shovel, please: Washington Post agrees with me that a man got into a fight and died less than a block from my restaurant. Then assigns three Pinocchios? Jeff Bezos’ “fact checkers” are rapidly becoming tabloids. — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) March 12, 2021 Compare this with Boebert’s detailed and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Gabrielle Bye, Colorado Times Recorder Freshman U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) is receiving praise from unions for his vote Friday to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. It wasn’t clear that the Democrat would vote for a hike to the federal wage, because unlike the rest of […]
Podcaster Armin Thomas of the election analysis website Elections Daily brings us an interview with former Congressman and spectacularly failed 2010 Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis, who now serves as a member of the Mesa County Board of Commissioners after his big-league aspirations collapsed in a plagiarism scandal we covered play-by-play in this space as […]

This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discuss the massive stimulus package that was just passed by Congress and try to figure out what in the hell Rep.

This just in from CNN, after the local group Rural Colorado United launched a campaign this week calling for the House Committee on Ethics to investigate freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert’s actions surrounding the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory: Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington […]
The House of Representatives today gave final approval to the American Rescue Plan (ARP), President Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill passed by the Senate last weekend that poll after poll has shown to be one of the most popular pieces of legislation in modern U.S. history. As expected, Colorado’s Congressional delegation voted along partisan lines. […]
Pat Poblete of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports on an incident yesterday in the Colorado Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee that should be getting more attention: The Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee had wrapped up roughly a half-hour of public testimony on a bill from Senate President Leroy Garcia, D-Pueblo, seeking […]
At 10:07 am this morning in Washington D.C., the House of Representatives held a Roll Call vote on a Motion to Adjourn, which is absolutely as stupid as it sounds. The Motion to Adjourn failed to pass, but not before 149 Republican Members of Congress voted ‘YES’ on ending their day before it even began […]
Somewhere near Leadville, Colorado, on the way to Mount Elbert — Colorado’s highest mountain peak — there is an unmarked road that meanders beneath a towering forest of Aspen trees. If you follow this path and take a left at the beaver dam, you might be lucky enough to come across the spartan home […]

As Colorado Newsline’s Faith Miller reports, debate on the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives went on and on for hours last night over what most people would consider to be a no-brainer bill, House Bill 21-1106, which requires gun owners in households with either children or people prohibited from possessing guns to take […]

Chase Woodruff at Colorado Newsline took it upon himself to research a claim from Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert instead of taking it at face value–and as seems to be so often the case with Colorado’s favorite pistol-packing train wreck in Congress, Boebert’s story isn’t holding up real well under scrutiny: Speaking at a campaign event […]
