On Monday, our friends at the Colorado Times Recorder put out a story detailing some decidedly non-mainstream views held by the Colorado Libertarian Party’s Secretary and 2026 Secretary of State candidate James Wiley regarding the recent assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk–alleging and then apparently standing by under pressure his belief that Kirk was killed […]
Back in January 2019, the satirical publication The Onion targeted then-Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) for a laugh by joking that polling data indicated that Americans blamed Tipton for a government shutdown that lasted more than a month (the true cause was President Trump’s insistence that Congress provide $5.7 billion for a border wall with Mexico […]
Late night television host Jimmy Kimmel returns to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” tonight on ABC after parent company Disney reversed course on last week’s “indefinite” suspension amid a flood of protests from activists, celebrities, and production studios. Kimmel marked the occasion by posting a photo on Instagram posing with the late Norman Lear, a longtime television […]
No matter their political affiliation, most major party nominees for President of the United States generally repeat a similar phrase in which they promise to be a President for all Americans. Most of them probably even mean what they say. Democrat Joe Biden said it when he was elected in 2020. Four years later, Democratic Presidential […]
UPDATE: As David Sims writes for The Atlantic, Kimmel’s indefinite suspension marks a significant escalation for Trumpland: There have already been signs that President Donald Trump’s administration is intent on punishing perceived critics in the media, no matter what complaints about free speech might arise, but the chain of events that shut down Jimmy Kimmel […]
As Politico reports, another moment of high manufactured drama from the ever-melodramatic Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina fizzled out yesterday afternoon, as a resolution fast-tracked by Rep. Mace to censure and strip of all committee assignments Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota over Omar’s remarks about deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk failed by a single […]
Apparently without much notice even to her colleages in the Colorado House GOP minority caucus, Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports that Minority Leader Rose Pugliese will resign her El Paso County seat effective immediately, complaining about the “toxic” work environment in the aftermath of the controversy over now ex-Rep. Ryan Armagost’s (and much of […]
In the days since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as readers know, his supporters have organized what might be considered a fitting tribute to the divisive and pugilistic Kirk’s life and work: a campaign to document every case of individuals from all walks of life expressing something other than effusive praise for Kirk […]
In the aftermath of Wednesday’s killing of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, there has been an endless stream of irresponsible chatter online (and at Fox News) about “political violence” and the United States reaching a “turning point” on the issue — including some disturbing suggestions […]
UPDATE: Deseret News reporting that conservative activist Charlie Kirk has died after being shot today at Utah Valley University. —– We are monitoring two separate tragic storylines involving gun violence this afternoon, the first out of Orem, Utah, where conservative activist Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA was shot and severely wounded today before thousands […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, HOLY SHIT, it’s Episode 250!!! And we have a great one for you. First up, RFK Jr. gets his ass handed to him in a Senate Finance Committee Hearing and absolutely lied in his confirmation hearings. Relatedly: Governor Polis took quick action to make sure Coloradans still have access to lifesaving vaccines, […]
In less than eight months, President Trump has driven a strong American economy right off of a cliff thanks mostly to his unpredictable, nonsensical, and probably illegal tariff policies. Unemployment numbers are at their highest levels in more than four years — in June, the United States saw its first month of job losses since […]
A press advisory this morning directs interested parties to Historic Fort Lupton tomorrow evening, a notable venue as we’ll explain, for the announcement we’ve been awaiting for months: not so much out of anticipation rather than simply watching the requisite boxes get checked on the way to launching a campaign for governor that even many […]
(Very fine Libertarians — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Leaders of the Colorado Republican and Libertarian parties held a joint public discussion on the Twitter Spaces platform last week. Billed as a “Special Session Recap,” the online event drew a few hundred listeners curious to hear the state chairs […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado State Budget got a billion dollar cut, again, thanks to Gabe Evans, Jeff Hurd, and the rest of the Republicans Colorado sends to Washington. We break down the outcome of the recently concluded Special Session. Then, friend of the pod Governor Jared Polis has some…words for HHS Secretary RFK Junior, […]
As NPR’s Julia Simon reports, while President Donald Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. faces brutal bipartisan questioning in the U.S. Senate after plunging his department into chaos leading to mass calls for his resignation, another of Trump’s Cabinet Secretaries is similarly being called out for breaking with the science that […]
NEW: Gov Jared Polis (D) tells me he won't free President Trump's ally Tina Peters from prison to prevent more retaliation like Trump's removal of Space Command from Colorado. "Justice is not for sale," Polis said. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/y389pDWnwx — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) September 4, 2025 In an interview last night with 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark, Gov. […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports–after taking heat last week for his continuing defense of federal Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. while Kennedy plunges the nation’s public health services into chaos and Kennedy’s demonstrably lying about his intentions regarding vaccine policy during his confirmation hearing, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis took […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post editorial board comes to the same conclusion: Trump isn’t the first president to make a politically motivated decision like this, but he is the first to gloat openly about using his power to punish a state for not supporting his re-election. The message the president is sending is clear — get […]
“Really, what we want now, is not laws against crime, but a law against insanity. That is where the true evil lies.” –Mark Twain
Colorado’s carpetbagging controversy-chasing Rep. Lauren Boebert, now representing Colorado’s Eastern Plains after a moment of manual indiscretion nearly sent Boebert back to the now-shuttered Shooters Grill, keeps her millions of social media followers satiated and her enemies off balance with an unfailing firehose of hot takes on the issues of the day–a torrent that has […]
UPDATE: NBC News reporting, President Donald Trump says Colorado’s mail ballot election system was a “big factor” in his decision to move Space Command to Alabama, because that’s how we do business in America now apparently: “The problem I have with Colorado, one of the big problems, they do mail-in voting, they went to all […]
awesome + uniting 200,000 expected in Colorado Springs for Labor Day Liftoff, a weekend-long hot air balloon festival More than 3.5 million birds migrated over Colorado in 1 night this week. Residents are being asked to turn out their lights to help them Colorado Among Top States to See Significant Drop in Alcohol Use awesome […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-Windsor) has never been interested in “facts” when she has an opportunity to spout right-wing rhetoric, but her latest diatribe about transgender Americans leading a rise in violent attacks is particularly absurd. Boebert posted this on ‘X’ on Wednesday after the alleged attacker from a Minneapolis school shooting was identified by federal […]
The special legislative session called to address a massive budget hole in Colorado caused by President Trump’s big beautiful bullshit bill (OBBB) came to a close on Tuesday, but not before some late fireworks in the House chamber regarding the conduct of one now-former Republican member. In the process of this discussion, House Minority Leader […]
