31 days and counting into the shutdown of the federal government that began and continues with a standoff over funding for health insurance premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act that millions of Americans rely on to afford their coverage, the mission for Democrats today is to stay focused on this crucial objective while the […]
(The drama llama strikes the House GOP mini-minority once again — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Colorado state Rep. Stephanie Luck (R-Penrose) will not run for reelection next year. Speaking at the Fremont County GOP monthly meeting last night, Luck cited the need to spend more time with her […]
The federal government shutdown is already the second-longest in U.S. history. It appears almost certain that we will shatter the 2018-19 record of 34 days before Republicans and President Trump finally realize that the majority of Americans blame them for shuttering government services and doubling their health insurance premiums. As The Hill newspaper reports, reality is […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has joined with almost two dozen other states filing suit against what they claim is an arbitrary decision by the Trump administration to up the stakes in the ongoing standoff that has shut down most of the federal government’s day-to-day operations, by halting […]
The sticker shock on 2026 health insurance costs has arrived, and it’s a doozy. As the federal government shutdown enters a full month with no indication of a deal on the horizon, Republicans are starting to see the problems ahead even as they stonewall efforts by Democrats to extend federal subsides for the Affordable Care […]
The Colorado Libertarian Party is dead. Long live the Colorado Libertarian Party. As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post, the CLP’s weird quasi-alliance with the Colorado Republican Party that led to a strange “Libertarian Pledge” is now a thing of the past: Two weeks ago, the leadership of the Libertarian Party of Colorado sued […]
UPDATE: As the Denver Post reports: Premiums will double next year for Coloradans who buy their health insurance on the state’s individual market, with higher-income families facing increases of $10,000 or more, the Colorado Division of Insurance announced Monday. [Pols emphasis] Marketplace customers face a double hit this year. The monthly “sticker price” of health […]

(If Gabe’s lips are moving, he’s probably lying — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder With the government shutdown now in its third week, the point of contention remains Americans’ health care premiums, which are still set to skyrocket next year. Congressman Gabe Evans (R-CO) says he is opposed to […]
As AP’s Josh Funk and Sara Raza report, President Donald Trump’s latest idea to prop up his friend and ideological touchstone President Javier Milei of Argentina, following a $20 billion bailout of Milei’s controversial economic experimentation, is facing hard pushback from Trump’s usual friends in the beef industry–also known as the state of Colorado’s biggest […]
The pain from the ongoing, and seemingly endless, federal government shutdown continues to take a heavy toll on Coloradans. According to a new report from Center for American Progress, only 24 percent of National Park Service staff, 51 percent of U.S. Forest Service staff, and 65 percent of Bureau of Land Management employees remain on […]
The “Gabe Evans Tour of Destruction” continues. If freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) stops by your business/nonprofit for a photo op, it usually means that you are in deep trouble. Evans often shows up at local venues when a policy that he supported in Congress is going to cause major problems for said organization. […]
The first federal government shutdown since 2018 is now in its fourth week. There is still no apparent end in sight. Here’s the latest in our weekly-ish shutdown updates, beginning with some staggering new poll numbers from The Associated Press: About 6 in 10 Americans are “extremely” or “very” concerned about their health costs going […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, a long-rumored Independent candidate in Colorado Springs has jumped into the race for Congress against incumbent Republican Rep. Jeff Crank: Army combat veteran and author Matt Cavanaugh on Tuesday launched an independent bid to challenge first-term Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank in […]
Saturday’s No Kings Day protest in Denver and cities across the state and nation brought out millions of people to, with only limited exceptions, peacefully and responsibly demonstrate their displeasure with the direction of the country under Maximum President Donald Trump. Early estimates of seven million nationwide would make these the biggest protests since the […]
The second big “No Kings Day” protest took place on Saturday and attracted an estimated 7 million people across the country . The vast majority of protestors peacefully demonstrated in a manner that defied the silly Republican talking points that you were a “terrorist” or “hate America“; this sort of public protest is exactly what […]
As the Denver Post’s Lauren Pennington reports, this upcoming Saturday’s reprise of the “No Kings Day” protest from the summer in Denver and across the country is shaping up bigly: Thousands of people are expected to march through downtown Denver this weekend as a second wave of “No Kings” protests sweeps across the country. The […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Federal Government Shutdown enters its second-ish week and Democrats seem to have the upper hand, at least so far. Then, can puppy-killer DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and her masked goons defeat an army of grannies with ukeleles and people in inflatable costumes in war-raveged Portland, Oregon? Even though 2026 […]
Over the summer, America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans developed a routine of holding photo-ops at locations in his district that were directly affected by adverse votes Evans himself took, principally with the passage of the “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill, as well as retaliation by the Trump administration against […]
As the ongoing shutdown of the federal government’s effects are felt across the economy, the Trump administration has responded in part by directing normally non-political government agencies to name and blame Democrats as political retribution that they hope the public will echo–which hasn’t happened so far, with the public overwhelmingly blaming Republicans for the shutdown, […]
Back in June, we took note of an announcement from the Commerce Department reported by Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog that former Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams had been appointed a “senior advisor” at the International Trade Administration–ostensibly due to his experience in importing containerloads of trinkets from China […]
We take you to the streets of Portland, Oregon, where we’re told the once-beautiful City of Roses is burning to the ground as the Antifa domestic terrorist onslaught continues unchecked: Hold on, folks, we must be running the wrong tape, because as KGW-TV in Portland reports, the situation is so bad that local police are…yes, […]
The first federal government shutdown since 2018 will enter double digits by reaching Day 10 tomorrow, with no apparent end in sight. That doesn’t mean there isn’t shutdown-related news to discuss. Here’s the latest in our weekly-ish shutdown updates, starting with the latest polling from Navigator Research: Republicans Getting Hammered for Shutdown…By Republicans We’ve […]
(They don’t call it the “Kirkmeyer Competency Act” for nothing — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder With 19 Republicans running for the 2026 gubernatorial nomination, the candidates, many of whom are true MAGA patriots, will have to compete to set themselves apart from one another. And while GOP candidates like […]
As the federal government shutdown extends into its second week, there are signs that President Trump is beginning to waver on his commitment to this chaos. The Republican lie that Democrats want to fund health care for undocumented immigrants is going nowhere. Democrats, meanwhile, continue to dominate the narrative by keeping Republicans on the defensive […]
