As readers know, this weekend’s annual Colorado Republican Party fundraising gala will feature as its keynote speaker infamous serial election denier and Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, one of the most ardent supporters of ex-President Donald Trump who argues to this day that both Trump’s re-election in 2020 and her own loss in last […]
Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) announced today that he would not seek a sixth term in 2024, which is something that we predicted both on Colorado Pols and the Get More Smarter Podcast in early August. Buck had apparently grown weary of complaining about things, taking multiple positions on every issue, and then contributing absolutely nothing […]
The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports from the trial playing out this week in Denver District Court, seeking to force Secretary of State Jena Griswold to remove ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot under the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause barring people who try to overthrow the government from running to lead it. […]
Denver7’s Óscar Contreras reports on the sentence handed down yesterday to Jacob Travis Clark of Colorado Springs, once proud to have been one of the first to make his way into the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 with the intent of taking control of the building and thus preventing the certification by Congress of […]
Back on September 15, when the #Beetlebert scandal was growing in size quicker than Rep. Lauren Boebert’s date at the Buell Theater in Denver, we wrote in this space that the vaping and the groping and the carrying on could be the thing that finally ended Boebert’s career in Congress: #Beetlebert might well mark the […]
Proposition HH, one of the two statewide measures on the ballot in 2023, has been generating a lot of media coverage lately — in no small part because there’s not much else to really talk about in this election cycle that affects everyone in the state. If you’re unfamiliar with Prop. HH or just need […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) had a nice time on Capitol Hill this week celebrating the election of her pal Mike “No T” Johnson as the new Speaker of the House. Unfortunately for Boebert these days, good news is often followed by bad news. In this case, another big endorsement for her main Republican Primary Election […]
(McPlagiarist musings — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis acknowledges that Congresswoman Lauren Boebert messed up in the Buell Theater, where she vaped near a pregnant woman, flipped off staff, and carried on with her date to the pleasure of comedians worldwide. But McInnis, whose demise in the 2010 Colorado Republican […]
What do you need to know about new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson? Well, we’ll tell you in a moment. But there’s a shorter version of this answer: Congressperson Lauren Boebert is a YUGE fan of the four-term Republican from Louisiana. Boebert, in fact, stood literally right next to Johnson during his first press […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “I pick up the Bible in one hand, and I pick up the newspaper in the other. And I read almost the same words in the newspaper as I read in the Bible. It’s being fulfilled every day round about us.” – Billy Graham According to the New York Times, Pastor Jared […]
UPDATE #3: Colorado Congressman Ken Buck did what Buck does — he Buckpedaled. After pretending for weeks to be really concerned about whether the next House Speaker nominee embraced The Big Lie from the 2020 Presidential election, Buck just…stopped caring: .@RepKenBuck makes a distinction between Jordan & Johnson’s j6 involvement; however, he didn’t ask him his […]
UPDATE #7: Hello, “Square One.” Emmer already dropped out of the running to become House Speaker. Via The Washington Post: Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the House majority whip, and the third Republican speaker pick since the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), had been elected as the GOP nominee on an internal ballot earlier Tuesday. However, […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, as U.S. House Republican aspirations of selecting a new speaker and thus getting back to the pressing business of running the country collapsed in yet another heap of chaos and despair last Friday, one of the prime movers in the political destabilization that has resulted in the longest-running […]
A budding controversy in a Fort Collins City Council race, as reported by the Fort Collins “It’s How They Used To Spell It Damn You All” Coloradoan, first raises alarms about the deeply troubling avowed white nationalist former politics of District 6 candidate Alexander Adams, a registered Republican, and then asks us all to consider […]
The House of Representatives will end its third week without a Speaker of the House after Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan failed (again) to receive enough support from Republicans to put his angry mug in the Speaker’s office. Republicans have reportedly decided not to give Jordan a fourth opportunity to fail, so at least we’re […]
UPDATE 12:00PM: “Gym” Jordan withdraws from the race for speaker after losing a secret ballot among the Republican conference to try a fourth time. What comes next is anybody’s guess. —– UPDATE 9:20AM: And it’s already over: —– Here we go again, as the Washington Post reports: The House is scheduled Friday to vote for […]
“When there is unhealthy competition everybody is a loser.” –Tanushree Dutta
We’re taking a break from wondering if Congress will ever again function normally in order to point you to some absolutely breathtaking corruption currently taking place in one Colorado Springs school district. We haven’t seen any other reporting on this story, but we absolutely should; this is one of those tales that needs to be […]
Big news out of Georgia this morning in, where one of the key early members of ex-President Donald Trump’s “elite strike force” legal team, attorney Sidney Powell, has agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges of election interference in a deal that avoids conviction for felony racketeering in the plot to overturn the 2020 presidential […]
Jeff Hurd is not Lauren Boebert. That’s been the crux of the Grand Junction Republican’s campaign for Congress in CO-03 thus far, and it’s not an ineffective message given Boebert’s uncanny ability to do and say the wrong thing at virtually every opportunity. The August #Beetlebert scandal, in which Boebert was kicked out of a […]
UPDATE #3: Rep. Jason Crow checks in with a plea for the chaos to end, on account of the world desperately needing American leadership in a time of crisis and all that sundry stuff: Checking in: just took my 17th vote for Speaker this Congress. The vote failed. Again. The House still has no Speaker. […]
(Never forget — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Mike Coffman wants to be elected mayor of Aurora again, but for most of his 34-year political career, Coffman was a warrior for issues that had little to do with city government and everything to do with spreading a right-wing agenda across Colorado and the country. Immigration […]
Because sometimes you really DON’T need anything else but the artist formerly known as Twitter… We have so many questions for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-ifle)… ♦ To whom did you submit legislation? There’s literally nobody in charge right now. ♦ How are the “UN Women” impacting water supply on the Western Slope of […]
UPDATE #2: Rep. Joe Neguse of Boulder channels the mood as “Gym” Jordan loses on his first ballot: No word on when that next vote will take place. In short, it’s January all over again. —– UPDATE: Rep. Ken Buck votes for Rep. Tom Emmer after missing the first roll call. Ken Buck planting the […]
Last Friday, the controversy over newly-appointed Rep. Tim Hernandez’s initial refusal to condemn the unprecedented violence perpetrated by Hamas against Israeli civilians a week ago changed course after Hernandez about-faced and issued an unequivocal, point-by-point apology. The Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports: A Colorado legislator apologized Friday for not explicitly condemning the deadly terror attacks […]
