When the United States Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v Wade in June 2022, it sparked nationwide outrage that cost Republicans dearly in the 2022 election and has continued to complicate GOP electoral interests in even the reddest of states. In the 18 months since Roe was overturned — thus removing national protections for abortion […]
As Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, add two more Republican elected officials to the growing number publicly refudiating America’s Most Vulnerable™ incumbent GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert in the aftermath of the “Beetlebert” scandal and announcing their support for Boebert’s opponent, Barbora Hurd’s husband: State Sens. Bob Gardner and Larry Liston […]
UPDATE: Colorado Rep. “CNN Ken” Buck, who has never made a decision that he didn’t reconsider several times a day, is now wavering on authorizing an impeachment inquiry. As Raw Story explains, Buck told CNN’s Erin Burnett that he doesn’t think there is any reason to attempt to impeach President Biden…but on the other hand, […]

One of the principal criticisms of Colorado’s Tasmanian devil of controversy Rep. Lauren Boebert is that she spends too much of her time on wedge-issue grandstands and political sideshows like the half-baked impeachment of Joe Biden, and not enough time on issues actually pertinent to the people and economy of the vast expanse of Colorado […]
The Colorado Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments today in the case of whether or not Republican Donald Trump should be barred from the 2024 Presidential ballot in Colorado on account of the fact that he incited an insurrection. Today’s arguments are part of an appeal from a November ruling in which Denver District Court […]
UPDATE: Via Caitlyn Kim of Colorado Public Radio, the National Republican Senatorial Committee needs a proofreader: —– Republicans are in risarray. As The Washington Post reports, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is among a quickly-growing number of Congressional Republicans who are taking their “talents” someplace other than Capitol Hill: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the former […]
The Colorado legislature will reconvene in about a month (January 10, 2024, to be exact), and it will likely kick things off with a different clown in charge of the circus that is the House Republican caucus. The current Chief Clown is House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, but Lynch has been widely expected to run […]
The Colorado GOP’s new point man on election integrity, notorious election denier Ron Hanks, who kicked off his efforts by telling the Republican members of local election boards to refuse to sign off on certifying their county election results, escalated his rhetoric recently by calling Secretary of State Jena Griswold Hitler. He also convinced five […]

We told you this was coming. Early last month, we took note of a story in the conservative-leaning Washington Examiner, a news site owned by Colorado billionaire and major Republican funder Phil Anschutz along with local newspapers including the Colorado Springs Gazette, critically assessing the damage done to vexatiously vulnerable GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert by […]
UPDATE #4: Rep. Lauren Boebert explains her vote, warning darkly of the precedent set by expelling a member of Congress prior to their formal conviction: Expelling an elected official without due process is an extreme measure and sets a dangerous precedent that I could not support. George Santos was elected by New York’s Third Congressional […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The chair of the Colorado Republican Party says he doesn’t want civil war, but he’s sees one in America’s future under two scenarios: one, if courts remove Trump’s name from the ballot or, two, if “they’re successfully able to keep engaging” in blatant election fraud (even though Williams or other Republicans […]
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 […]
Last week, parliamentary elections in the Netherlands resulted in what’s being described as a shocking victory for the far right, with Dutch anti-immigrant demagogue Geert Wilders’ so-called Party of Freedom winning enough seats to (hypothetically) lead a coalition government. AP: He’s been called the Dutch Donald Trump. He’s been threatened with death countless times by […]

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 […]
“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” –Mark Twain
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 […]
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 […]
