Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-Windsor) has been more of a sideshow than a productive Member of Congress in her three terms in the House of Representatives. Boebert’s former constituents in the third congressional district quickly grew tired of her time-wasting antics, which is how Boebert ended up moving across the state to run for an open […]

CBS News reports that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has pinballed in recent days between lip service to releasing the list of clients of deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein regardless of who it might implicate and expressing “trust” that the administration will “do the right thing” after Donald Trump tried and spectacularly failed last […]

Freshman GOP Rep. Gabe Evans campaigned for office last year as a full-throated supporter of Donald Trump’s vow to carry out “the largest deportation campaign in American history,” to the extent of helping spread Trump’s wildly exaggerated claims about the city of Aurora, Colorado being “overrun” by migrant gangs while local officials like Aurora’s Republican […]
Colorado Republicans have long claimed that our state is a playground for criminals, a narrative driven by outrageous claims that Denver is a crime-ridden hellhole. Facts have not generally supported this hysteria, and Colorado voters have tended to ignore the “sky is falling” tales from Republicans. Back in 2014, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez tried […]

As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, the story that broke this week in the Washington Post about Republican political consultant Jeff Small’s rebuffed approaches to Republican county clerks to permit outside access to voting equipment, a la convicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, is taking a turn towards something closer to extortion and […]
A bombshell story in the Wall Street Journal last night has opened a new front in the Beltway-consuming controversy over the Trump administration’s spectacularly failed attempt to bury the investigation into deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein–describing a letter allegedly sent by now-President Donald Trump to Epstein on the occasion of the latter’s 50th birthday that…strongly […]
Politico reports today from the White House press briefing, where press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed calls from a growing number of Republicans for a special prosecutor to investigate the handling of the case of deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday said President Donald Trump would not recommend a […]
The fundraising reports for Q2 are finally available for both state and federal campaigns. We also now have enough people running for various seats that we can actually compare some of those numbers. So, let’s do that… We’ve taken a look already at the races for Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and Secretary of State. […]
(Transparency* — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, Congressman Jeff Crank (R-CO) told a radio show host he wanted to see transparency in the Epstein case. [Tuesday], he, along with the rest of Colorado’s Republican delegation, voted against making those files public. Across the political aisle, there have been […]

As CNBC’s Kevin Breuninger reports, the growing intraparty crisis among MAGA Republicans over the Trump administration’s handling of what was once a central tenet of the movement’s conspiracy canon–evidence allegedly left behind by deceased billionaire child molester Jeffrey Epstein implicating a cross-section of elite society in an international sex trafficking ring–exploded today after President and […]

Apologies gentle readers, the utter preposterousness of what you’re about to read has temporarily overloaded our comms channels: We deserve the truth about the Epstein Files. I'm ready for a Special Counsel to handle this. @MattGaetz, how about it? https://t.co/cEco2orhWl — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) July 15, 2025 For those of you who have been living […]
As Colorado Newsline reports, local officials are currently analyzing the impact of the recently-passed Republican federal budget bill on Colorado’s already strained state budget, looking to determine whether a special session of the legislature will be necessary to reallocate reduced resources to minimize the pain to Medicaid patients, food assistance beneficiairies, and so many others […]
Colorado Republicans like few things more than attacking other Colorado Republicans. This has always been a problem for the GOP in Colorado, but the pastime has only grown as Republicans increasingly find themselves further and further from the levers of power. Republican infighting is particularly intense in the state legislature, where wacko members of the […]
(What about the grandmas, Gabe? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Congressman Gabe Evans says 100% of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) deportations and detentions in Colorado — even of people without any criminal charges or deportation order — are correct and justified. He says he knows this because […]

Republican candidates have been getting creamed in Colorado for more than a decade now. There are a lot of reasons for the GOP’s persistent failure to attract interest from voters — more than we could possibly explain in one sitting — but near the top of that list would be the Colorado Republican habit of […]
Fresh off his victory lap from the passage of the least popular major piece of legislation in our lifetimes, which President Donald Trump naturally calls the most popular legislation in not just American but all of human history, Trump has returned to his previous pet project of wrecking the global economy through the imposition of […]
Now that President Trump has signed his “big, beautiful, bullshit bill” into law, we’re getting a better sense of just how bad things are going to get as a result of cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from social safety net programs so that rich people can finally get a nice tax break. There is […]
Longtime political observers, and readers of Colorado Pols, are probably familiar with what is (sadly) one of the more common dumb mistakes that campaigns can make in Colorado: Highlighting a mountain range in campaign materials that is not actually a landmark found in our state. Using a geographically-incorrect image of a random mountain range is often […]
We took note on Monday of the Colorado House Republican caucus election that resulted in the elevation of Rep. Carlos “Who?” Barron as the new House Minority Whip for the GOP micro-minority. The fact that the House GOP elevated someone who just completed his first legislative session to its #3 leadership position is a curious […]
