As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, Republicans in Colorado House District 14 got a few days ahead of themselves in convening to appoint a replacement for suddenly resigned House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese, and by breaking the rule requiring ten days’ notice before doing the deed, they’ve imperiled the accession of gun rights advocate […]
As Politico reports, another moment of high manufactured drama from the ever-melodramatic Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina fizzled out yesterday afternoon, as a resolution fast-tracked by Rep. Mace to censure and strip of all committee assignments Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota over Omar’s remarks about deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk failed by a single […]
In the days since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as readers know, his supporters have organized what might be considered a fitting tribute to the divisive and pugilistic Kirk’s life and work: a campaign to document every case of individuals from all walks of life expressing something other than effusive praise for Kirk […]
In less than eight months, President Trump has driven a strong American economy right off of a cliff thanks mostly to his unpredictable, nonsensical, and probably illegal tariff policies. Unemployment numbers are at their highest levels in more than four years — in June, the United States saw its first month of job losses since […]
The special legislative session called to address a massive budget hole in Colorado caused by President Trump’s big beautiful bullshit bill (OBBB) came to a close on Tuesday, but not before some late fireworks in the House chamber regarding the conduct of one now-former Republican member. In the process of this discussion, House Minority Leader […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: The stupid…it burns… Here’s Rep. Ken “Dildo” DeGraaf (R-Colorado Springs) arguing that the State of Colorado should begin doing genetic identification of post-abortion remains in order to identify the responsible male so that he can repay the state somehow: Or, if you prefer, here’s Rep. Larry Don Suckla (R-Montezuma County) telling a […]
Brian Eason of The Colorado Sun has expanded on a story in last week’s “Unaffiliated” newsletter that we mentioned previously about the folly of cutting taxes as an effort to boost the economy and employment — particularly with Colorado’s unusual TABOR budgetary restrictions. This issue is popping up again ahead of Thursday’s special legislative session […]
Lawmakers will reconvene next Thursday for a special legislative session in order to figure out how to make another $800 million dollars in cuts to the state budget necessitated by President Trump’s “big beautiful bullshit bill” enacted by Congress in early July. In the meantime, Colorado Republicans have been trying very hard to put their […]
Rolling Stone reports today on a new resolution introduced in the U.S. House by a trio of vulnerable Republicans including America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans that takes the denial and doublespeak following the passage of the historically unpopular “We’re All Going To Die Act” Republican budget bill to a credulity breaking point: Last […]
Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) continues to claim — despite ludicrous amounts of evidence to the contrary — that 100% of immigrant detentions and deportations conducted by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are justified because of the risks to public safety. Evans keeps going back to the same talking point: That the goal of new […]
(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 […]
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 […]

(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 […]
In case you missed the big news on Saturday evening (North American time), President Trump backtracked on years of anti-war claims by ordering the bombing of three sites believed to be key to Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. As Michael Burnbaum and Natalie Allison report for The Washington Post: Trump’s decision to strike Iran marked an […]

Freshman Republican Rep. Gabe Evans campaigned for office in full agreement with Donald Trump’s promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the country, subsidizing Trump’s wildly exaggerated claims that the city of Aurora had been “overrun” by migrant gangs and appearing with Trump at his rally last October near Denver International Airport promised that […]
Republican Rep. Gabe Evans of Ft. Lupton has gone from State Representative to Member of Congress to a walking punchline over the course of the last 12 months. For all of the career changes Evans has undergone in the last year, he’s going to have a hard time shaking his new clownish reputation. Here’s how […]
With millions of Americans getting ready to hop on planes to travel for the long holiday weekend, Denver7’s investigative team, who was first to report on an alarming two-minute blackout of communications between air traffic controllers at the Denver ATC center in Longmont and almost two dozen planes in and around Denver International Airport, spoke […]
As Politico’s Grace Yarrow reports, while Colorado’s Rep. Gabe Evans and the House Energy and Commerce Committee put the finishing touches on their bill to throw almost 9 million Americans off of Medicaid coverage over the next decade, the Republican-controlled House Agriculture Committee is working on squeezing hundreds of billions of dollars out of food […]
The 2025 Colorado legislative session comes to a close today. If a speech on Tuesday from Republican Rep. Don Suckla of Montezuma County is any indication of how things have been going at the State Capitol, it’s definitely time for everyone to head home. Suckla went to the well on Tuesday to argue against SB25-288 […]
(Perhaps not mutually exclusive — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, the United States House of Representatives voted in favor of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a controversial bill requiring all Americans to provide documentation of their citizenship status for both registering and voting. Although it is […]
Hi there. I’m a mom of two amazing kids. Like any parent, I worry about what they see online, who they’re talking to, and how technology is shaping their world. So, when I first heard about Colorado’s SB25-086—marketed as a way to “protect kids online”—I thought, great! Finally, someone’s taking steps to keep children safe. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder When Steve Bannon took the stage to raucous applause at last Friday’s fundraising gala for the Colorado Republican Party, he wasn’t just the keynote speaker, he was also the third convicted felon to address the crowd. The lineup began with a jailhouse call from […]
