Following extensive reforms and overhauls, the VA finally managed to get to a place where it was operating more efficiently […]
Today officially marks the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term in office.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…that constitutional crisis we keep talking about keeps getting worse — at what point do the people who can maybe do something about it start doing something about it, especially as Trump’s poll numbers continue to nosedive?

As the Easter congressional recess wraps up, constituents in Colorado’s most vulnerable Republican Rep. Gabe Evans’ district are holding not one, not two, but three of what we’ve taken to calling “Cardboard Cory Town Halls,” in honor of the years-long campaign that highlighted former Sen. Cory Gardner’s inaccessibility to voters leading up to his ouster […]
Freshman Congressman Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) has been an interesting mixed bag in his first few months in Congress. While Hurd has made some good decisions that speak to a desire to serve his constituents in the third congressional district, he has also demonstrated the all-too-familiar Republican fear of speaking to those same […]
As Marissa Ventrelli reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, a bill to require rideshare driving companies take additional steps to protect the safety of riders is stoking controversy after rideshare giant Uber threatened to completely pull out of the state should the bill be signed into law: House Bill 1291 would require rideshare […]
As Denver7’s Robert Garrison reports, now that Colorado’s bumbling blunderbuss of bluster Rep. Lauren Boebert has successfully carpetbagged her way from the Western Slope to Colorado’s Eastern Plains, she needs local issues to sound off about so as to give the appearance of representing a specific congressional district instead of her vast social media constituency.

State Representative Ken “Dildo” DeGraaf (R-Colorado Springs) on Monday took time out from his regular routine of complaining about every piece of legislation proposed by a Democrat in order to promote an asinine bill that essentially sought to classify children as property in Colorado. HCR25-1003 was killed on Monday in the House Committee on State, […]
We noted last week the increasing concerns of Coloradans worried about Trump administration cutbacks in resources for national parks — federal lands which contribute billions of dollars to the local economy and account for nearly 40,000 jobs statewide.

Reading today’s Unaffiliated newsletter from the Colorado Sun, we were briefly excited by a teaser promising after some scrolling to reveal “Gabe Evans’ one critique of Trump’s presidency.” Since GOP freshman Rep. Gabe Evans has established himself as Donald Trump’s most unflappable brown-nosing apologist west of Lauren Boebert herself, Evans putting even the slightest criticism […]
As Jason Blevins reports today for The Colorado Sun, Coloradans are growing increasingly concerned about reductions in funding for public lands in our state: Senator John Hickenlooper is hearing a lot of frustration and anger as he tours the state this week. He’s telling people to organize and gather stories that reflect how public lands […]
As Lindsey Toomer reports for Colorado Newsline, the politically fraught years-long struggle over the permanent home of the U.S. Space Command, currently based at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs but threatened with being uprooted and moved to Alabama as a reward for the political loyalty of the state’s elected officials to Donald Trump, […]

Axios’ Andrew Solender reports today on major dissent building among U.S. House Republicans with a residual conscience, or failing that at least an instinct for self-preservation, against expected sweeping cuts to Medicaid as part of the “Big Beautiful Bill” being authored to enact President Donald Trump’s bulldozing fiscal agenda: A dozen swing-district and centrist House […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, narrowly defeated former Rep. Yadira Caraveo is coming back for a rematch against vulnerable incumbent Rep. Gabe Evans in Colorado’s ultra-competitive CO-08 race, where hard questions about Caraveo’s record in Congress and, regrettably but inevitably, her personal struggle with mental illness while in office during her first term […]
Republicans have always fancied themselves as the more effective of the two major political parties when it comes to managing economic policies. For whatever reason, voters have largely bought into that narrative. But President Trump’s reckless Tariff War and the economic uncertainty created by his on/off/on/off impulsiveness are doing more than destroying consumer confidence and […]
Colorado Republicans and their emasculated “no compromise” gun rights leaders held a virtual press conference this morning to shake their collective fists over the passage of SB25-003…and to show off some racist pornography. Senate Bill 003 is the new gun safety legislation, signed by Gov. Jared Polis, that requires a permit and safety training to […]

Colorado’s eighth congressional district is the very definition of a toss-up race. In 2024, Republican Gabe Evans defeated Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo by less than one percentage point (49.0 – 48.2). National Democrats almost immediately declared CO-08 as a top pickup opportunity for 2026, when Republicans are expected to be heavy underdogs to maintain majority […]
