State Rep. Shannon Bird (D-Westminster) announced this week that she is resigning from the state legislature in order to focus on her campaign for Congress in CO-08.

As FOX 31’s Heather Willard reports, following the refusal over the holiday weekend by Colorado officials to honor the request by the Department of Justice to transfer convicted felon former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters to federal custody, from which she would likely be either released or moved to Ghislaine Maxwell-style accommodations at a “Club […]

In the latest newsletter from the Jefferson County Republican Party, presently chaired by convicted felon firearms enthusiast Rich Wyatt, we find a message about candidate recruitment for the upcoming 2o26 midterm elections: We know that who our candidates are truly matters.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Epstein Files bill passed the House and Senate nearly unanimously and was signed into law by Donald Trump.

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Kalen McCain reports first locally, the Trump administration is preparing another boundary-pushing executive order that seeks to pre-empt Colorado law regulating the use of artificial intelligence in decision-making roles that could affect individual rights, opening yet another front in Donald Trump’s relentless expansion of presidential power and in the regulation […]
