As Nick Coltrain reports for The Denver Post, lawyers for pillow salesman and 2020 election fraud conspiracy enthusiast Mike Lindell maybe weren’t taking all that seriously his doomed defense in a defamation case brought by a former employee of Dominion Voting Services: A judge fined two attorneys for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell $3,000 apiece Monday for […]
The passage last week of the Republican budget bill they insist on calling the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” while public opinion polls say it should be called something more profane has created a huge electoral liability for that party going into the 2026 midterms. The question is not whether but how much damage Republicans […]
Yesterday, Axios broke the news currently roiling the MAGA world who would rather be celebrating the passage of the “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget bill signed with excessive fanfare by President Donald Trump on July 4th: after months of delay following a teasing non-release by Attorney General Pam Bondi of what was purported […]

As Caitlyn Kim reports for Colorado Public Radio, what may be the greatest act of political self-sabotage of our lifetimes is headed to President Donald Trump’s desk to be signed into law, as the Senate’s even more pernicious version of the Trump reconciliation budget bill given the Orwellian official name “The One Big Beautiful Bill […]

We wrote last week about an appearance by Colorado’s harmonic convergence of carpetbagging controversy Rep. Lauren Boebert on the Glenn Beck TV Prime Time with Alex Stein Show, in which Boebert expressed support for the pardoning of fellow reality TV star Joe “Tiger King” Maldonado, currently serving federal prison time for his murder-for-hire plot against […]
As The Washington Post reports, the big, beautiful, bullshit bill (BBBB) narrowly made it through the U.S. Senate today: The Senate on Tuesday narrowly approved massive tax and immigration legislation that Republicans hope will become the centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s second term, dramatically reorienting the role of the federal government and unwinding many of […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, oh no! The big bullshit bill has hit some serious roadblocks! Wait, sorry, OH YAY! The big bullshit bill had hit some serious roadblocks! And by “some serious roadblocks” we mean “the opinion of the vast majority of voters” How does it play in Paonia? Then, it turns […]
Throughout the debate and especially after voting for what polls say is the most unpopular major legislation in decades, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans has resolutely defended the bill’s cuts to Medicaid funding, which Evans duplicitously insists are not cuts at all–and only aimed at eliminating “wasteful” coverage handed out to undocumented immigrants […]
As an antidote to the overwhelmingly negative press about America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans’ work in Washington, Evans has leaned heavily photo ops at places around the district under the guise of “learning” about nonprofits and businesses who drive the economy in his swing congressional district and meet the basic needs of residents. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder It’s been a rough couple years for food banks and the families they serve, particularly for the Weld Food Bank in Evans’ home county. Demand has been skyrocketing ever since the pandemic’s expanded SNAP benefits ended in March 2023. In the following six months, the […]
From the blurry border between politics and show business where both President Donald Trump and Colorado’s cantankerous carpetbagger Rep. Lauren Boebert do the voodoo that they do, Newsweek reports that Boebert is serving as an intercessor with the Dear Leader in the case of reality TV star Joe Maldonado, immortalized by the 2020 Netflix miniseries […]
The right-wing Alliance Defending Freedom announced in May the lawsuit on behalf of Camp IdRaHaJe near Bailey over new Colorado Department of Early Childhood policy promoting gender equality, with all the fire and fervor of religious freedom endangered by the “woke” agenda to turn John into Jill some afternoon while they’re at school: Alliance Defending […]
Newsweek reports on the latest defining slip-up from former Senate Majority Leader and intermittently reanimated cadaver Mitch McConnell, who gave his most honest if heartless assessment about public opinion on the Republican budget proposal that will deprive millions of Americans of their Medicaid health coverage including one in three residents of McConnell’s native Kentucky: Republican […]
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr is diligently working on making Americans more deader (more MAMD than MAHA), and he continues to pursue his anti-logic policies while completely ignoring requests for more information from Congress. On Tuesday during a hearing of the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, ranking […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Stephanie Wolf reports, a ballot question put before Douglas County voters in a special election yesterday that would have granted the conservative bastion “home rule” status has failed by a lopsided margin that can only be interpreted as a humiliation for the county’s politically activist all-GOP board of commissioners: Voters in […]
“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.” –Ernest Hemingway
Some politicians seem to have an innate gift for making absolute fools of themselves. Congressman Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) appears to be just that kind of politician. Hurd has somehow found a new way to make a complete ass of himself when it comes to the widely-despised “big, beautiful, bullshit bill” currently being […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, Washington is abuzz this morning after a group of Democratic U.S. Senators led by Colorado’s Sen. John Hickenlooper pulled off a protest concert inside the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was taken over by the Trump administration soon after taking power, after Donald Trump personally objected […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the big beautiful bullshit bill is banging around in the US Senate, and the longer it does, the worse it gets for President Trump and the Republicans who voted for it. Then, Remember Stagflation — that thing that is worse than both a stagnating economy and inflation? Well, it’s […]
Ever since the Republican trifecta in Washington, D.C. under President Donald Trump started work on their reconciliation budget package intended to jam though Trump’s agenda without a single Democratic vote, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans has walked a delicate tightrope between the interests of his swing congressional district and the historic cuts to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Via the Colorado Times Recorder “I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America,” President Donald Trump told Congress in March. “It’s back.” He was referring to one of the many executive orders he signed on inauguration day: “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” “The previous administration trampled free […]

As we noted a few months ago, President Trump somehow finally noticed that he has a portrait hanging in the State Capitol — a likeness that does not please his Orangeness — and this non-controversy has generated new questions about why we hang pictures of Presidents in a state capitol in general. As The Colorado […]
