UPDATE: The U.S. Senate quickly followed suit and approved the Epstein Files Transparency Act, sending the bill to the desk of President Trump. —– House Speaker Mike Johnson kept the entire lower chamber away from Washington D.C. for 54 days in order to stall action on directing the Department of Justice to release the “Epstein […]
During President Trump’s first term in office, there was an oft-repeated phrase about his King Midas-esque impact on the world around him that went something like this: Everything Trump touches eventually turns to shit. Trump’s habit of turning things into fake gold was largely forgotten in the first half of 2025 as he rampaged through […]
As we noted last week, soon-to-be-former Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky was casting around for her next elected office after a surprising defeat in her re-election campaign. With more time to ponder her political future, Jurinsky has apparently decided against running for an open seat on the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in District […]
The Colorado Republican Party is nothing if not utterly and hopelessly predictable. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, the state party that POLITICO once said “would rather lose than change” is once again wrapped around its own axle: For the second time in as many years, a group […]
It’s the economy, stupid. That infamous line from Bill Clinton’s 1992 Presidential campaign is as relevant today as it was more than 30 years ago. As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post, the economy and affordability remain the most important issues for Colorado’s Latino community — even in the midst of unprecedented immigration raids […]
As 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark reported on Friday, the Trump administration’s goal of freeing the last incarcerated co-conspirator in once-and-again President Donald Trump’s failed quest to prove the 2020 presidential election he lost was decided unfairly shifted gears, with a formal request from the Justice Department for ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to be transferred to […]

Buried at the bottom of yesterday’s Unaffiliated newsletter from the Colorado Sun is an item Democratic insiders have been anticipating for some weeks, rumblings of an impending primary campaign challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper: Annie Orloff, managing partner at the Democratic political consulting firm the MAC Group, posted job descriptions on LinkedIn over the […]
As 9NEWS’ Jaleesa Irizarry reports, now that the federal government has re-opened without a deal to extend the health insurance premium tax credits that make coverage affordable for millions of Americans, negotiations over such an extension which in theory has enough bipartisan support to easily pass are getting underway. With Republicans aware they now have […]
Republicans lost damn near every race they contested in the 2025 election. Some in the GOP aren’t wasting time looking for somewhere else to fail in 2026. Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky was one of the more notable losers from the 2025 election cycle. The nutball MAGA incumbent needed to be one of the […]
President Trump is totally not worried about the release of more information related to the Epstein files, so he and the White House are doing what totally not-worried people do in this situation… They’re freaking the fuck out. As we noted earlier today, Democrats released new information related to deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s 2017 all over again, but bigger, better, and BLUE-YER as Democrats from all sides of the spectrum ride an anti-Trump wave to huge win margins across the country that are sending Republicans into the long, dark teatime of the soul. We unpack the results of the 2025 […]
Denver7’s Dan Grossman reports on a new proposal from the Trump administration that they claim is intended to alleviate the nationwide housing affordability crisis in which our state is unfortunately a leading indicator. But the solution Trump is proposing sounds like heartbreaking news for everyone except mortgage lenders: The Trump administration is working on a […]
In Donald Trump’s first Presidential administration, he was often mocked for regularly claiming that the White House was two weeks away from unveiling a health care plan that would be cheaper and more effective and better tasting than the Affordable Care Act (ACA). During the 2024 Presidential election, Trump took that idea to a new […]

As 9NEWS reported last night, President Donald Trump’s refusal to fund SNAP food assistance benefits during the ongoing shutdown of the federal government, despite lower court orders to do so and initial moves the U.S. Department of Agriculture to comply with those rulings, was temporarily upheld by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson through […]
For the past ten days, a significant controversy has been brewing in the southwest Colorado town of Durango over an arrest by federal immigration agents of a father and his two school-age children on their way to class, an incident that provoked large protests and reported instances of violence against demonstrators, as well as allegations […]
As The Washington Post reports, Republicans across the country are still trying to understand how the 2025 elections went so horribly wrong for the party in control of Congress and the White House: Republicans are reeling after Democrats swept off-year races in several blue and purple states across the country on Tuesday, blaring a warning […]
The federal government shutdown is now officially the longest in U.S. history (surpassing the 2018-19 shutdown also under President Trump’s watch). After Tuesday’s massive election victories, Democrats have new reason to stick to their shutdown narrative about holding the line until Affordable Care Act subsidies are renewed. Republicans, meanwhile, have a new set of terrible […]
Whoa. No, seriously: WHOA! It would be hard to overstate how bigly Democrats won on Tuesday, both here in Colorado and throughout the country, but we’re going to try! The 2025 election was a MASSIVE repudiation of all things MAGA and Donald Trump that should send shivers down the spine of every Republican running for […]
As the reckoning following yesterday’s momentous off-year elections in which Democrats triumphed at all levels of the ballot in contests large and small across the country in a broader referendum against the first chaotic months of the second Donald Trump presidency gets underway today, there is perhaps no Republican in the state of Colorado feeling […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the money is pouring into primary elections in Colorado, but, really just for one party, can you guess which one? Best friend of the pod Christy Powell is back to break down the third quarter fundraising results in Colorado. Also, the shutdown shitshow continues into its sixth week, and […]
The ongoing federal government shutdown will take its place as the longest in U.S. history this week, surpassing the 2018-19 shutdown (also under President Trump) that only ended after Trump caved on demands for Congress to fund a wall along the southern border. Americans have largely blamed Republicans for the shutdown since the beginning; those […]
There’s no avoiding polling data in politics. Not all data is the same, however, and some is more accurately predictive than others. One question that has been asked regularly for decades is much more indicative of election outcomes than others: The Generic Congressional Ballot. The GCB asks respondents, If the election for U.S. House of Representatives […]
The field of candidates seeking the Democratic nomination in CO-08 is starting to thin. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: Calling the political system “rigged against working-class people,” Democrat Amie Baca-Oehlert, a former president of Colorado’s largest teachers union, on Friday ended her bid to challenge Republican U.S. […]
