Indicted Republican freshman Rep. George Santos of New York faces a motion to be expelled from in the U.S. House of Representatives tomorrow, the third such attempt to remove Santos after Santos’ movie-plot alleged double life as a serial fabulist and canine con artist who turned his congressional campaign into a discretionary spending account for […]
Here’s a headline that most rational Republicans really, really, really don’t want to see in the next year: “Republicans Want to Repeal Affordable Care Act.” Unfortunately for the GOP, they’re careening toward this very problem because Donald Trump is going to keep talking about Obamacare…whether Republicans like it or not. Last weekend, the frontrunner for […]
As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, President Joe Biden’s long-awaited trip to Colorado–more specifically to America’s Most Vulnerable™ GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s district to celebrate renewable energy investments Boebert has steadfastly voted against and then taken credit for–finally kicked off yesterday after his original plan to visit in mid-October was pre-empted by war in […]
Republicans in Colorado have had trouble winning elections for a long time now. There are a lot of reasons for these failures, but perhaps none as persistently problematic as Republican refusals to actually listen to what voters are telling them. To be fair, this isn’t just a problem for Republicans in Colorado. Nationwide, for example, […]
Politico’s Kelly Garrity reports on another appearance by retiring GOP Rep. “KenSNBC” Buck, condemning once again fellow Republicans who are still promulgating the “Big Lie” that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election as has become a regular refrain for Buck–this time on Face the Nation Sunday: “Everybody who thinks that the election was stolen […]

As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reported before the holiday break, the Colorado Republican Party’s Chairman of the Ballot and Election Security Committee, a position originally offered to indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters now held by no-less infamous election denier and January 6th insurrection spectator former state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks, sent a letter to […]
This morning, Colorado’s America’s most vulnerable incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert did something she in her term and a half in Congress has almost never done for local candidates who (at least at one time) could have used her help–an endorsement, not just for a fellow Republican but wading into a safe-seat GOP primary in […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports that the Colorado Supreme Court has accepted the appeals from both sides and will hear the case early next month: NEW: Colorado Supreme Court agrees to hear the Trump ballot access case. Oral argument: Dec. 6. Both sides appealed after a Denver District Judge ruled the 14th Amendment didn't apply […]
The Denver Nuggets are the defending NBA Champions. The Colorado Avalanche are a Stanley Cup contender in 2024. The Denver Broncos may have finally turned things around and are currently riding a 4-game winning streak. The moribund Colorado Rockies, sadly, are still terrible, but they can nevertheless manage to eke out a win every now […]

Colorado’s legislators returned to the Capitol yesterday, answering the Governor’s call for a special session to address skyrocketing property taxes following voters rejection of Prop HH. Progressives criticized the initiative in part for offering insufficient aid to the third of Coloradans who rent rather than own. In the first hearing of the session, House legislators […]
As the Denver Post reports, the Republican minority in the Colorado Senate succeeded in stretching after a lengthy parliamentary controversy the special session of the General Assembly that convened yesterday into at least Monday if not later, thwarting what Democrats had hoped to be a minimum-expense three days in and out to wrap up a […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, the long sordid saga of serial fabulist who somehow managed to become GOP Rep. George Santos may finally be coming to an end after a damning Ethics Committee investigative report basically accused Santos of turning his entire campaign operation into a personal slush fund. Although Santos narrowly survived […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ask many Colorado Republicans about their thoughts on U.S. elections, and you will hear a variety of answers. Some, like failed 2022 gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, refuse to say in public what they told supporters in private. Others raise doubts about specific aspects of past elections, such as mail-in ballots or […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports today, the Republican commissioners por vida in Rep. Lauren Boebert’s longtime residence of Garfield County, Tom Jankovsky, John Martin, and Mike Samson, are all conspicuously staying out of the upcoming GOP primary for Boebert’s congressional seat: None of the three commissioners in the home county of Boebert, […]

As The Washington Post reports, the Senate is expected to vote soon on another “continuing resolution” so that the federal government does not shut down after midnight on Friday
We definitely didn’t see this one coming. Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used his substack page on Tuesday to criticize Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump…
As NPR reports, yet another long-sought goal of the hardliner Freedom Caucus, the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, died yesterday after a deja vu-inducing eight Republicans joined with Democrats to circular file the measure into committee oblivion: The House voted Monday to push off a Republican effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro […]
The Colorado Republican Party today not only announced its censure of state Sen. Larry Liston (R-Colo Springs), but called on him to resign immediately. The censure addresses his filing of a criminal complaint against the husband the El Paso County party chair Vickie Tonkins, following an altercation between them at a county party meeting […]
South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott will not be the GOP nominee for President in 2024. And once again, former Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner will not be a close adviser to the next occupant of the White House. Fresh off another bizarre performance in last week’s Republican Presidential debate, Scott surprised his campaign staff on […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the 2023 Election is over and Democrats notched some big wins across the country (and one glaring loss right here in Colorado). We break down the results and talk about what’s so special about the upcoming irregular legislative session. Of course, we check in again on our […]
UPDATE: NBC News reports that Democrats are warming to Speaker Mike Johnson’s continuing resolution proposal, potentially averting a shutdown at the end of the week and further isolating GOP hardliners like Rep. Lauren Boebert: After trashing the idea of a two-step strategy to fund the government, House Democrats signaled on Monday they are open to […]
