Special Sessions and Sentient Alien Brain Worms

The Get More Smarter Podcast - A Weekly Show About Colorado Politics

Send us a message! Really!

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s a Special Session Special Episode Special! Again! And this time it’s not even our fault! As the effects of the Big Bullshit Bill come into focus, Colorado has to cut ANOTHER billion dollars from the state budget on top of the billion dollars TABOR forced us to cut earlier in the year. Where will lawmakers find the money?

Then, a Republican state representative leaked screenshots of a secret group chat (hey, weren’t they not supposed to have those anymore?) to a reporter where other members were making sexist and racist comments about a Democratic colleague; is there no depth to the depravity of the Colorado GOP? Then, tariffs are both dumb as shit and super unpopular. That’s it, that’s the segment. And finally, brain worms are eating your vaccines; Gabe Evans is saving Medicaid by kicking everyone off it; and any Republican brave or stupid enough to have a town hall meeting is getting what they deserve.

That’s it for this episode!
