As the Durango Herald reports, last night nominal Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd hosted his first public availability since being disowned by Donald Trump last weekend, and Trump threw his support to Hurd’s crackpot challenger Hope Scheppleman. And in Hurd’s now-trademark so understated you barely know he’s there style, Hurd studiously avoided the proverbial elephant in […]
The Trump administration has eliminated another big chunk of the workforce at the former National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden. As Michael Booth reports for The Colorado Sun: The Golden renewable energy lab formerly known as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory laid off an additional 134 employees across both research and operations Monday, further […]
As 9NEWS reports this morning, although precautions taken by Xcel Energy to prevent a repeat of the devastating Marshall Fire of December of 2021 along the Front Range foothills during yesterday’s 100 mile-an-hour-plus windstorm appear to have succeeded, large windswept fires tore through rural Yuma County last night, burning tens of thousands of acres in […]
CNBC is reporting today that negotiations in the U.S. House to allow a vote on legislation to extend the expiring health insurance premium tax credits before the end of the year, after which millions of Americans will face potentially bankrupting premium hikes, have failed: Key tax credits that reduce the cost of Affordable Care Act […]
We’re regularly forwarded photos of Colorado political luminaries in various noteworthy poses and settings, and sometimes they rise to the level of a “caption this photo” post for public consumption. The photo sent to us of perpetually embattled Colorado Republican Party chair Brita Horn with Trump’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security henchman Stephen […]
As FOX 31’s Heather Willard reports, following the refusal over the holiday weekend by Colorado officials to honor the request by the Department of Justice to transfer convicted felon former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters to federal custody, from which she would likely be either released or moved to Ghislaine Maxwell-style accommodations at a “Club […]
As the reckoning following yesterday’s momentous off-year elections in which Democrats triumphed at all levels of the ballot in contests large and small across the country in a broader referendum against the first chaotic months of the second Donald Trump presidency gets underway today, there is perhaps no Republican in the state of Colorado feeling […]
Colorado’s one-woman cacaphony of controversy Rep. Lauren Boebert’s whole schtick, or at least a large percentage of it, is goading into outrage anyone even slightly to her left with as wild a display of offensive tropes as she can muster with the available props. It’s a race to the cultural bottom we try not to […]
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 […]
It’s a maneuver beloved by shifty politicians and others looking for a quick way out of unpleasant interactions with bill collectors, small talk with in-laws, and other such dodgeable moments–and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) this week caught America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans red-handed pulling the “fake phone call” trick to avoid […]
Following last week’s passage in the U.S. House by a single vote of 215-214 of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” to slash funding for Medicaid and SNAP food assistance in order to pay for tax cuts to benefit the wealthiest Americans, GOP freshman Rep. Jeff Hurd of Grand Junction, whose district is home to the […]
UPDATE: Mystery solved! Former DougCo commissioner Lora Thomas is running for a seat on the Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors. Thomas’ committee registration form was filed with the Secretary of State yesterday. And the knives are already out. —– Few contemporary tales of intra-Republican infighting quite match the last few years in Colorado’s […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder The Trump Administration has made sweeping changes to American public policy over its first two months, from shuttering the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to downsizing the Department of Agriculture (USDA), and instigating a trade war with Canada, Mexico, China, and other […]
As the Houston Chronicle’s Michael Garcia reports, Colorado’s carpetbagging controversy-seeking missile Rep. Lauren Boebert couldn’t resist taking one more uniquely hypocritical little swipe at Rep. Al Green, who was censured last week after interrupting President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress–much the same way Boebert herself heckled and hollered all the way […]
As the Washington Post’s Jacob Bogage reported yesterday evening, the Congressional Budget Office has rendered its judgment on the budget resolution narrowly passed by the U.S. House last week–and despite the promise by Republicans from President Donald Trump to Colorado’s most vulnerable Republican Rep. Gabe Evans to protect funding for bedrock social safety nets like […]
After President Donald Trump’s pardon of just about all of the rioters who took part in the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on his behalf, there are only a small number of individuals who are still affected by state sentences for crimes that Trump can’t make go away–including the convictions in Georgia […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Nathan Deal reports, Rep. Matt Soper is once again very sorry: The Daily Sentinel reached out to Soper for comment and received a text from Soper late Tuesday morning, reading: “My only comment will be that my Tweet/X was in poor taste and while I am not a […]
Colorado’s temporary member of Congress Rep. Greg “Please Don’t Google Me” Lopez, elected in June to serve out the remainder of ex-Rep. Ken Buck’s term without posing a primary threat to carpetbagging sensation Rep. Lauren Boebert, is wrapping up his brief foray in office by glomming onto the incipient and much-hyped campaign by billionaire Elon […]
Yesterday, we discussed the conspicuous lack of the usual pre-election organizing operations normally carried out by the Colorado Republican Party this year, the result of gross mismanagement of dwindling resources under state party chairman Dave “Brandon Who?” Williams and a growing division between candidates who remain loyal to the state party and others including some […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Soon after Colorado’s election polling centers closed at 7:00 p.m., onlookers at Congressional candidate Gabe Evans’ primary election watch party erupted in cheers. They’d just watched Kyle Clark of 9News on a big screen TV set up inside Thornton’s Satire Brewing Company in Thornton […]
Just a quick reminder with the June 25th Primary Election a week away: If you still have a ballot at home, today is the last day that you should attempt to return it through the mail. Remember, ballots must be RECEIVED by your county clerk by 7:00 pm on Tuesday. A ballot that is postmarked […]
Yesterday the Colorado House passed House Bill 24-1095, legislation to increase penalties on employers who violate child labor law. From a House Democratic majority press release: “Over the years, Colorado has made important progress to improve child labor laws – but we must ensure violators are held accountable for their actions,” said Rep. Sheila Lieder, […]
Via Raw Story’s Brad Reed, former Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, now a talking head for the Fox News Channel with a reputation for taking the occasional dunk on his former Republican colleagues, speculates about one of the things we’re also pondering–in what could be Rep. Lauren Boebert’s final appearance at a Joe Biden […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Sandra Fish reports, a last-ditch attempt by indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to avoid prosecution on felony charges related to the breach of election system security in her office in 2021 as part of a failed attempt to produce evidence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald […]
Yesterday’s jaw-dropping announcement by GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert that she would abandon the race for re-election to a third term representing Colorado’s Western Slope and instead run for re-election in retiring Rep. Ken Buck’s Fourth Congressional District has scrambled the outlook for the 2024 elections in Colorado as much or even more than the recent […]
