Republicans such as Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) — who loves to remind anyone who will listen that he was once a police officer on the hardscrabble streets of Arvada — often go out of their way to scare constituents about the dangers of living in Colorado as a way to promote a shaky narrative […]
With Congress adjourned for the August recess, vulnerable Republicans like Colorado’s Rep. Gabe Evans are holding impromptu photo-ops with various institutions and stakeholders in their districts–since publicly announcing these events in advance would lead to protests–and in Evans’ case, trying to force a script on locals to avoid the hard questions about the policies of […]
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.

As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post: For the third […]
Republicans in Washington have had what can best be described as a fraught relationship with nonpartisan bean-counting authorities like the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) going back many years. Back in 2017, when the then-GOP majority during President Donald Trump’s first term was trying and failing to repeal the Affordable Care Act, then-Sen. Cory Gardner asked […]
The New York Times reports this fine Friday afternoon just in case you’re still paying attention: Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein now serving a 20-year prison sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing teenage girls, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to minimum-security prison camp in Texas, her lawyer said […]
CNBC reports while you nervously check that 401(k): Stocks were under pressure on Friday to kick off August trading as investors weighed stark signs of a weakening economy and President Donald Trump’s modified tariff rates.

After narrowly losing the recent election for Colorado Republican Party vice-chair to former Rep. Richard Holtorf, Douglas County Republican activist and donor of some significance Mark Hampton (no, not the husband of actress Christina Ricci) remains displeased with that result and the general direction of the state party, explaining his loss to the also dissentious […]
Today, Colorado General Assembly leaders met at the Capitol to get reports on the expected impact to Colorado’s budget this year from passage of the Republican federal budget reconciliation bill: a budget that was balanced during this year’s session as required by the state constitution, now coming up short by an estimated billion dollars as […]
Colorado’s leading high-budget Republican astroturf group, the Koch-funded Americans For Prosperity, is running an outreach campaign following the passage of President Donald Trump’s “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget bill–not trying to win over public opinion on this historically unpopular piece of legislation, but demanding that the Colorado legislature not convene a special session […]
The Denver Post’s Seth Klamann updates on an unpleasant story we’ve been following in the Colorado House, after a failed bid by Republican Rep. Ron Weinberg to be the next House Minority Whip exposed longstanding sexual harassment allegations against Weinberg dating to before his service in the House. Fellow Republican Rep.

As 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports from this weekend’s meeting of the National Governors Association (NGA) meeting at the Phil Anschutz-owned Broadmoor international swank zone in Colorado Springs, there’s good news and bad news to report on the matter of millions of dollars in education funds recently frozen by the Trump administration, who questioned whether the […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: The White House is very sad about this, as The Denver Post reports: Though many of Trump’s real-world policies and actions were spotlighted in the show – such as defunding National Public Radio, implementing tariffs on Canadian goods, and expressing displeasure with a portrait of himself in the Colorado State Capitol – the […]
On Tuesday, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ GOP Rep. Gabe Evans was interviewed by veteran Colorado Public Radio reporter Bente Birkeland on a variety of subjects including the Republican budget bill signed into law earlier this month by President Donald Trump–a bill that Evans has struggled to defend with constituents in his closely-divided district, thousands of […]
You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to have concluded after the last few weeks that the name “Donald J. Trump” absolutely appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files — you know, the files that Attorney General Pam Bondi and the rest of the Trump administration have suddenly been claiming don’t even exist. It didn’t require […]

CBS News reports that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has pinballed in recent days between lip service to releasing the list of clients of deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein regardless of who it might implicate and expressing “trust” that the administration will “do the right thing” after Donald Trump tried and spectacularly failed last […]
Freshman GOP Rep.

It has been well documented that the “big, beautiful, bullshit budget bill” that Congressional Republicans passed earlier this month that was signed into law by President Trump will be devastating for millions of Americans who will lose access to health care coverage through Medicaid or food benefits from SNAP.
