This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s a Special Session Special Episode Special! Again! And this time it’s not even our fault! As the effects of the Big Bullshit Bill come into focus, Colorado has to cut ANOTHER billion dollars from the state budget on top of the billion dollars TABOR forced us to […]
If Congress were like a poker game, freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) would be in big trouble. That’s because Evans has an unshakable “tell” that gives him away every time. It’s quite simple: If Gabe Evans is talking, then he’s lying. Much like former Republican Sen. Cory Gardner — the last Republican to win […]
As state lawmakers prepare to reconvene for a special session later this month to address the budget shortfall created by the federal reconciliation budget bill that every Republican member of Congress from Colorado voted for and President Donald Trump signed into law, Colorado Republicans are fighting an uphill battle to shift the blame for the […]
Republicans such as Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) — who loves to remind anyone who will listen that he was once a police officer on the hardscrabble streets of Arvada — often go out of their way to scare constituents about the dangers of living in Colorado as a way to promote a shaky narrative […]
UPDATE: Rep. Jason Crow posts this update from outside the Aurora ICE detention center, where he and colleagues were apparently allowed in unlike previous visits: Today, I led a Congressional oversight visit to Aurora’s ICE facility. We will not be deterred from doing our jobs, and that’s exactly why we made this visit today. Ensuring […]
The creators of South Park (and owners of the famous Casa Bonita restaurant in Lakewood) returned this week with their second episode of the season, which continued skewering the Trump administration. The latest episode included an ICE raid at a “Dora the Explorer” concert at Ball Arena in Denver. The storyline centers largely on Homeland […]
Rolling Stone reports today on a new resolution introduced in the U.S. House by a trio of vulnerable Republicans including America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans that takes the denial and doublespeak following the passage of the historically unpopular “We’re All Going To Die Act” Republican budget bill to a credulity breaking point: Last […]
With Congress adjourned for the August recess, vulnerable Republicans like Colorado’s Rep. Gabe Evans are holding impromptu photo-ops with various institutions and stakeholders in their districts–since publicly announcing these events in advance would lead to protests–and in Evans’ case, trying to force a script on locals to avoid the hard questions about the policies of […]
Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) continues to claim — despite ludicrous amounts of evidence to the contrary — that 100% of immigrant detentions and deportations conducted by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are justified because of the risks to public safety. Evans keeps going back to the same talking point: That the goal of new […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark sums up the common problem with X and the Colorado House GOP: —– Longtime state house reporter Bente Birkeland at Colorado Public Radio brings us a story we’ve heard the periphery of but hadn’t yet been privy to the full nauseating details. If you think the state of interparty relations in […]
UPDATE: Jesse Paul of The Colorado Sun makes the same point about unserious Republicans in the legislature: —– We knew it was coming after Congressional Republicans passed President Trump’s “big, beautiful, bullshit budget bill” last month, and here it is: Another special legislative session. As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post: For the third […]
Rolling Stone kicked off the week with new polling numbers that will sour even President Donald Trump’s Diet Coke-leathered innards: Americans are overwhelmingly skeptical of Donald Trump‘s handling of information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. In a new UMass Amherst national poll, 70 percent of respondents said Trump is not handling the Epstein case […]

The New York Times reports this fine Friday afternoon just in case you’re still paying attention: Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein now serving a 20-year prison sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing teenage girls, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to minimum-security prison camp in Texas, her lawyer said […]
CNBC reports while you nervously check that 401(k): Stocks were under pressure on Friday to kick off August trading as investors weighed stark signs of a weakening economy and President Donald Trump’s modified tariff rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 607 points, or 1.3%. The S&P 500 shed 1.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped […]
(Follow-up to last week’s gaslighting — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder A spokesman for the Weld Food Bank says they made it clear to Congressman Gabe Evans (R-CO) that the Medicaid and SNAP food aid cuts in the budget he supported will make their lines longer, not shorter. Evans […]
After narrowly losing the recent election for Colorado Republican Party vice-chair to former Rep. Richard Holtorf, Douglas County Republican activist and donor of some significance Mark Hampton (no, not the husband of actress Christina Ricci) remains displeased with that result and the general direction of the state party, explaining his loss to the also dissentious […]

Kennedy Jr. expounded on his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative in a […]
As 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports from this weekend’s meeting of the National Governors Association (NGA) meeting at the Phil Anschutz-owned Broadmoor international swank zone in Colorado Springs, there’s good news and bad news to report on the matter of millions of dollars in education funds recently frozen by the Trump administration, who questioned whether the […]
Embed from Getty Images A major story that broke last week in the Washington Post and then significantly expanded upon by the Denver Post last Friday has gone mostly quiet this week, but that could just be temporary as questions continue to swirl about Jeff Small, a principal with the Republican consultant firm 76 Group […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: The White House is very sad about this, as The Denver Post reports: Though many of Trump’s real-world policies and actions were spotlighted in the show – such as defunding National Public Radio, implementing tariffs on Canadian goods, and expressing displeasure with a portrait of himself in the Colorado State Capitol – the […]
Today is “Colorado Day,” which we admittedly didn’t know was a thing for the other 148 instances in which it has occurred. According to a press release from the office of Gov. Jared Polis: Today, Governor Polis announced the return of Celebrate Colorado, a week-long, statewide celebration of everything Colorado. August 1st marks the 149th anniversary […]
On Tuesday, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ GOP Rep. Gabe Evans was interviewed by veteran Colorado Public Radio reporter Bente Birkeland on a variety of subjects including the Republican budget bill signed into law earlier this month by President Donald Trump–a bill that Evans has struggled to defend with constituents in his closely-divided district, thousands of […]
President Trump has been trying really hard to stop Republicans from talking about Jeffrey Epstein and his now-confirmed appearance in the Epstein files that his administration recently tried to claim don’t actually exist. But Trump’s demands that House Speaker Mike Johnson basically shut down Congress a week early were not completely successful. As The Washington Post […]
As NBC News reports, in addition to Donald Trump ordering the MAGA faithful to forget that a man named Jeffrey Epstein ever existed, the administration has opened a new diversionary front in their increasingly desperate attempts to change the subject–wild-eyed allegations of “treason” from Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, former quasi-Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, against […]
