(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Lauren Boebert burst into Congress on a wave of loving publicity from right-wing media outlets, including FOX News and Colorado talk-radio shows. Now conservative media are turning against her. Two Trump-backing media figures, Julie Hayden and Chuck Bonniwell, didn’t hide their anger at Boebert on their “Chuck and Julie Show” podcast […]
As Sudiksha Kochi at USA TODAY reports, Colorado’s pinballing portrait of perturbation Rep. Lauren Boebert, fresh from last week’s gobsmacking switcheroo from CD-3 to the on-paper friendlier confines of Colorado’s crimson-red CD-4, is trying to explain away her most likely career-ending move by blaming Hollywood celebrities who have donated to the campaign of Boebert’s erstwhile […]
The stunning news Wednesday that America’s Most Vulnerable™ Rep. Lauren Boebert was transplanting her reality TV show re-election campaign from Colorado’s R+9 Third Congressional District to the R+∞ Fourth District currently represented by retiring Rep. Ken Buck, thus sidestepping the much-anticipated rematch between Boebert and Democratic challenger Adam Frisch, left Boebert’s Republican primary challenger Jeff […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…we almost made it through 2023 with another podcast episode, but then Lauren Boebert announced late on December 27th when LITERALLY NOBODY WAS TRYING TO THINK ABOUT HER that she was going to carpetbag her broken campaign down to the 4th congressional district. So, in this special episode […]
Republican Congressperson Lauren Boebert has been on a downward trajectory ever since she barely won re-election in 2022 by a razor-thin 546 votes in CO-03. Her odds of winning a third term in 2024 began plummeting after her infamous Beetlebert scandal and the subsequent campaign of Republican Jeff Hurd, whom establishment Republicans have been rushing […]
This year’s roundup of the biggest lies in American politics compiled by FactCheck.org, thicker than ever in 2023 from Hunter Biden to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., features two separate dishonorable mentions for Colorado’s factually antagonistic Rep. Lauren Boebert–the first being the President’s self-confessed failson: Involvement in Hunter Biden’s business deals. Immediately after Hunter Biden’s former […]
Tuesday’s decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to prevent Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 Presidential ballot is a massive decision that will (likely) ultimately lead to the United States Supreme Court making a national ruling about Trump’s ability to appear on the ballot for President in other states. Regardless of your opinion on […]
(What me, democracy? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado GOP’s leadership will hold a vote in January to formally endorse former President Donald Trump. This decision takes place despite a number of obstacles, including a longstanding tradition of party neutrality in primaries and the fact that the state’s Supreme Court just ruled Trump is […]
As The Colorado Sun reports in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter: If voters casting ballots in Colorado’s Democratic presidential primary next year don’t like any of the candidates on their ballot, they’ll be able to choose what’s effectively a “none of the above” option. The Colorado Democratic Party added a “noncommitted delegate” choice to the March 5 […]
(Behind the scenes of #Beetlebert — Promoted by Colorado Pols) One of Colorado’s biggest political stories of the year, if not the biggest, is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s wild behavior in September during a performance of Beetlejuice at the Buell Theater in Denver. We know the details — and can see them for ourselves — thanks […]
We wrote last week about efforts from Colorado House Speaker Julie McCluskie to help make the workplace culture at the State Capitol a little less acrimonious by changing some House Committee assignments — notably the removal of Reps. Elisabeth Epps and Bob Marshall from the coveted House Judiciary Committee. Despite McCluskie’s efforts, another freshman Democrat […]
If you haven’t seen the business headlines lately, the U.S. economy is so bad that the stock market hit a record high this week. Twice. As Reuters reports: U.S. stocks ended firmer on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average notching its second straight record high close, lifted by optimism that borrowing rates will decrease […]
Notable news this afternoon from the U.S. Supreme Court, which has declined to halt the implementation of new laws in the state of Illinois to ban firearms meeting the criteria of an “assault weapons” as well as (Colorado readers take note) the state’s new limit on gun magazine capacity. NBC News Chicago: The Supreme Court […]
It’s the news we’ve been anticipating ever since word first broke of Monument-based conservative whacktivist Darcy Shoening’s campaign to make Colorado’s the second state Republican Party to formally endorse Donald Trump, well in advance of the Super Tuesday primary. Unless you’ve been purposefully blocking it out, you already know Trump is leading the Republican primary […]
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 […]
