(Moar miles! All the miles! No receipts necessary! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) actually deserves much more than the $22,260 she had initially paid herself for miles-driven during her successful election campaign, says her former campaign manager. “The truth is, Congresswoman Boebert could have claimed even MORE miles!!!!” wrote Sherronna […]
It didn’t get much press–and that’s a thing we need to talk about–but last week, Colorado’s Democratic U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet announced they are signing on as sponsors of the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021: the first legitimate attempt at a comprehensive immigration reform package since 2013’s Gang of Eight negotiations (which […]
Chase Woodruff of Colorado Newsline reports that although long-sought legislation to extend protections to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land in Colorado is moving ahead hopefully in 2021’s narrowly Democratic Congress, freshman Rep.

Still, the campaign defended a large payment to the congresswoman… Boebert […]
Having officially passed the tragic milestone of half a million Americans dead, we can say with certainty today that the COVID-19 pandemic was not a “psyop.” Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams got it wrong: “I’m going to rant just a bit,” wrote Reams on Facebook. “I understand that nobody wants to catch Coronavirus but statistically, […]

This week in the Colorado legislature, far-right Republicans are trying to undo Colorado’s best-in-the-nation election system–a system that became a much-praised example last year for safely and securely holding an election even during a global pandemic.

UPDATE: CD-3 Democratic candidate Kerry Donovan returns service: 48 hours ago, Lauren Boebert flew to Mar-A-Lago for a $5,800-per-plate resort fundraiser. Today, she voted against $1,400 relief checks for Colorado families. That's it.

As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, tomorrow will mark the birth and in all likelihood death of Senate Bill 21-007, “concerning measures to promote public confidence in the validity of elections.” This is a bill we discussed last week from GOP Sen.

Maybe — and we’re just spitballing here — but maybe Colorado Republicans would be more successful at winning elections and advancing policy goals if they didn’t spend so much time being complete assholes. Take State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R-Akron), for example. This morning in the House Chambers, State Rep. Tom Sullivan (D-Centennial) came to the microphone […]
(One election away from disaster – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Every year, Colorado’s most socially conservative lawmakers run an extreme anti-abortion bill that would make abortion illegal under essentially any circumstances. Every year, the bill fails. This year is no different, so far, despite Colorado voters’ recent rejection of an anti-abortion ballot measure and the […]
UPDATE: Congressman Jason Crow (D-Aurora) responds: —– The House Resources Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives met today for its first “organizing meeting” of the 117th Congress. Little in the way of Natural Resources business was discussed during the video conference, however, because Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) initiated a stunt about allowing guns in […]

As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, freshman Rep. Ron Hanks of Penrose, who skipped out on the initial part of this year’s legislative session after showing up on January 13th to be sworn in a week after traveling to Washington, D.C. for the now-infamous January 6th “Stop the Steal” rally, came to work at […]
