DAVIS: 27% of Colorado Lawmakers are Currently Breaking the Law
Twenty-seven members of the Colorado General Assembly are currently committing a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of between $1,000 and $5,000, though it’s unlikely any of them will be charged for it.

Anti-abortion activists have been making annual pilgrimages to D.C. since 1974, demanding an end to what they see as the great evil of our time, amidst a multitude of lesser evils, a daily stream of man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.

As Fellow Republicans Defend Americans’ Speech and Gun Rights, Colorado’s Conceal-Carry Instructor Congressman Won’t Comment
In the six days since federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed a second Minneapolis resident, VA nurse Alex Pretti, Congressman Gabe Evans (R-CO) has made 12 Facebook posts, 15 posts to Instagram and X, and published a newsletter with 10 news blurbs.
