We wrote last week in our “Losers” section from the 2025 Colorado legislative session about Colorado Springs freshman Republican Rep. Rebecca Keltie, who appeared on a Libertarian podcast a few days before the end of the session and declared that all of her Democratic colleagues at the State Capitol building were corrupt and that “the […]
Freshman GOP Congressman Gabe Evans of Colorado’s ultra-competitive 8th Congressional District is the center of attention in Colorado politics right now for a very good reason: after winning what he thought was a plum appointment to the prestigious House Energy and Commerce Committee right after taking office, Evans is now one of a select few […]
The 2025 legislative session officially came to a close on Wednesday night, which means it’s time for our annual “Winners and Losers” assessment. We wrote about our “Winners” on Thursday, so now it’s time for the “Losers”: Losers House Republican Communications The press and media operation for House Republicans made a lot of silly […]
With Colorado at a crossroads due to uncertainty looming at the federal level, the 2025 session of the Colorado General Assembly concluded with wins on housing affordability, education, abortion rights, voting rights, and reducing gun violence. Lawmakers responded to new threats to funding and personal freedom from the Trump administration with a strong slate of […]
(Wait, what? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder As the legislative session comes down to its final days, one freshman Republican has harsh words for her Democratic colleagues. State Rep. Rebecca Keltie (R-Colorado Springs) in a Sunday evening interview on a libertarian podcast called her fellow legislators evil, soulless, […]
As Marianne Goodland reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg has been appointed by President Donald Trump to be the next executive director of the state’s Farm Service Agency–a cornerstone of administering agricultural policy responsible for relief, insurance conservation, and crop subsidy programs […]
If you like rain and snow, then boy do we have the day(s) for you! Mountain areas could see 20 inches of snow, while lower elevations might get as much as four inches of rain today. Let’s Get More Smarter! If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below […]
As the Trump administration continues its quest to cut funding for programs that help keep Americans alive, Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen (D-Lakewood) is making a specific request to preserve overdose prevention programs that are on the chopping block. As John Aguilar reports for The Denver Post: Pettersen implored U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy […]
Amid the daily deluge of disheartening news about the effects of mass layoffs of federal workers and the slashing of funding for crucial public safety and health programs across the nation, here’s a particularly unsettling story from AP medical reporter Lauran Neergaard about the abrupt end of a Denver-area study hoping to chip away at persistently […]
Colorado’s long-ousted but still not forgotten Sen. Cory Gardner appeared on the Fox News Channel earlier today to praise President Donald Trump’s agenda and chastise Democrats for “calling half of the country traitors” and “telling people to eff off when they disagree”–the premise being these are things that Democrats do and not, you know, Donald […]
If you’ve been following Colorado politics over the past few years, at one time or another you’ve probably run across information supplied by the conservative Common Sense Institute, an advocacy group with ties to Republican political strategist Josh Penry through his politically connected spouse Kristin Strohm known for pumping out lengthy “studies” invariably leading to […]
Republicans have long used “mental health” as a bogeyman whenever the issue of gun violence prevention enters the discussion. But whenever they have an opportunity to do something to improve mental health resources…they refuse. From The Washington Post: The Education Department this week began cutting about $1 billion in mental health-related grants created in response […]
Former Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo announced earlier this month that she would once again seek the Democratic nomination in CO-08 after narrowly losing to Republican Gabe Evans in 2024. Caraveo’s odds of winning back her seat got a bit more difficult with some new reporting today from The Colorado Sun. We noted Caraveo’s return to the […]
The Department of Veterans Affairs struggled for years to fix problems with long wait times and thick brambles of referrals that made it difficult for veterans to receive the medical care they so desperately needed. Following extensive reforms and overhauls, the VA finally managed to get to a place where it was operating more efficiently […]
We evaluated the pros and cons of supplying any oxygen to this unpleasantness, ultimately concluding it is in the public interest for readers to be aware of a press conference being held today by whack-right pastor, state representative and now candidate for Governor Scott “There Is No” Bottoms, purportedly to address a budding scandal he […]
“When the well is dry, they know the worth of water.” –Benjamin Franklin
Today officially marks the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term in office. In order to celebrate this milestone, the White House and the rest of the Trump administration did what they do best: Make things up. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt opened her press conference today by reading through seven minutes […]
Freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Fort Lupton) has demonstrated in his first three months in Congress that he is a loyal rubber stamp for the policies of House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump — even when those policies seem certain to cripple his 2026 re-election campaign. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known […]
Federal law enforcement officials, led by FBI Director Kash Patel, took a new step today in the Trump administration’s ongoing battle with judges who are not in full agreement with White House policies. As The New York Times explains: F.B.I. agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday on charges of obstructing immigration agents, saying […]
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 […]
When Brita Horn was running to become the next leader of the Colorado Republican Party, she and her allies presented her as a more rational and capable choice for GOP Chair in comparison to outgoing Chairperson Dave Williams. While that was an incredibly low bar for any sentient organism to clear, we’ve seen from Horn’s […]
AP’s Colleen Slevin via the Aurora Sentinel updates on the continuing efforts by former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to get out of prison while she appeals her multiple felony and other misconduct-related convictions, stemming from her failed plot to hack into voting machines and uncover evidence that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from […]
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, […]
