Amid calls for change at RNC, chief of staff announces departure ahead of ’24 election

By Julia Johnson | The Gazette The Republican National Committee's chief of staff will be stepping down from his role months ahead of the 2024 presidential election. RNC chief of staff Mike Reed told employees in an email Tuesday, "I write today to let you know that this month will be my last at the RNC." Reed — who noted he spent two decades "working almost exclusively on Republican campaigns, including four years working right alongside President Trump's White House and campaign team" — stated he is leaving the RNC to work in the private sector. He cited several personal reasons for his departure, including his "growing family." "In the chaotic world of D.C. and the RNC, Mike Reed has been a calm and steady hand as our chief of staff," RNC Chairwoman ...

Ken Buck, three other Republicans thwart effort to impeach Homeland Security Sec. Mayorkas

By Anna Giaritelli  | The Gazette House Republicans failed to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a contentious vote Tuesday that will temporarily spare the Cabinet official from facing removal proceedings. Lawmakers voted by a narrow margin of 214-216 to reject the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, who was confirmed by the Senate in February 2023 to lead the department’s 260,000 employees. GOP Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Blake Moore (R-UT), and Ken Buck (R-CO) were the only members to break with the party and vote in defense of Mayorkas. All Democrats voted against the impeachment articles. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE GAZETTE

In April, discounted internet will end for 250,000 low-income households if Congress doesn’t act

The Affordable Connectivity Program will stop accepting newcomers Feb. 7. Advocates hope Congress will extend funding. By Tamara Chuang | Colorado Sun The federal subsidy to reduce internet bills for nearly 250,000 Colorado households is winding down and funding is set to run out by April. But the first deadline is Wednesday at 10 p.m. when local internet providers must stop accepting new customers. “We will take applications to the very end,” said Brieana Reed-Harmel, broadband manager at Loveland Pulse, the city’s municipal internet service. “They are still trickling in little by little every day.” Loveland Pulse currently has about 500 low-income customers enrolled in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program, or ACP, a $14.2 billion program that launched two years ago to ...

Reagan biographer: President hated the ‘Swamp,’ ‘didn’t like what it represented’

By Paul Bedard | Denver Gazette Former President Donald Trump made no secret that he hated Washington, D.C., when he first ran for president. He even nicknamed it the “Swamp.” But no modern president more than Ronald Reagan meant it as much and showed the city his backside as often. Here’s how Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, the author of the forthcoming book The Search for Reagan: The Appealing Intellectual Conservatism of Ronald Reagan, described the Gipper’s disdain. “Reagan left town whenever he could. He was at his California ranch for one year out of his presidency.  He and Nancy went to Camp David almost every weekend. They got out of Dodge whenever they could. He didn't like Washington. He didn't like what it represente...

Voters: Biden is losing it, and the media are covering it up

By Paul Bedard | Denver Gazette There is a growing concern among voters that President Joe Biden is losing his mental edge and that the media are working overtime to hide it. In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 59% of voters said they believe Biden “is getting less and less mentally sharp over time.” White voters at 59% and black voters at 58% are in agreement that Biden is becoming more mentally challenged. Even 36% of Democrats agree, Rasmussen said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Could GOP leader Ronna McDaniel be out? Trump suggests she could be removed

By Conrad Hoyt | The Gazette Former President Donald Trump said there will "probably be some changes made" regarding the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel. Speaking on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures, the Republican presidential front-runner maintained that he has "nothing to do" with the RNC. He then spoke candidly about McDaniel, his longtime ally and a woman he helped secure the post in 2017 after she helped him win Michigan in the 2016 presidential election. Host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump how he thought McDaniel was doing in her current role, to which he paused before answering: "I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK, initially, in the RNC. I would say right now, there'll probably be s...

Republican governors warn of ‘Imminent Danger’ in Biden’s open border policies

Thirteen governors descend upon Eagle Pass along southern border By Sydnie Henry | Texas Scorecard EAGLE PASS—Texas Gov. Greg Abbott gathered with 13 other Republican governors to assert the states’ right to self-defense as President Joe Biden’s border crisis continues. “Joe Biden does not need more legislative authority,” said Abbott, citing the laws already in place that Texas is attempting to follow. “He just needs a backbone to step up and do his job and secure the border.” Abbott held a press conference in Shelby Park Sunday afternoon, the site of an ongoing battle between the federal and state governments after Texas seized Shelby Park last month. Shelby Park has long been a hotspot for illegal crossings, and since the state took it over and fortified it, cro...

‘We’re broke with Biden’: S. Carolina voters explain interest in voting for Trump

By Asher Notheis | The Gazette South Carolina voters explained in a recent interview the reasons they intend to vote for former President Donald Trump this November instead of President Joe Biden. The voters were discussing the presidential election in an interview that aired on Friday, during which they were asked if they knew of anyone who was planning to vote for Trump or considering the possibility of voting for him. Kinard Givens, one of the voters being interviewed, said yes, noting that he has friends who felt more secure financially with Trump as president than Biden. "They’re like, ‘well, we’re broke with Biden. We weren’t with Trump,’" Givens told MSNBC. "And that’s kind of the only thing that I’m hearing over and over again." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE...

Noem accused of using border crisis to boost her chances of becoming VP

By Jenny Goldsberry | Colorado Springs Gazette The Oglala Sioux tribe has banished Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) from its reservation over her comments on the border, claiming she's using the border crisis to "increase her chances" of becoming vice president. The tribe's president, Frank Star Comes Out, sent a letter to the governor Friday following Noem's speech to the legislature on Jan. 31. While he made it clear the Oglala Sioux are neither a Republican tribe nor a Democratic one, he wrote the letter in defense of the "Indian people from such places as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico" that are seeking a better life. "The truth of the matter is that Governor Noem wants the use of the so-called 'invasion' of the southern border as a Republican 'cr...

‘Amnesty’ or border crackdown? What’s in the Senate’s $20 billion immigration deal?

By David Sivak | Colorado Springs Gazette Senate leadership released the text of a bipartisan compromise on the border Sunday evening, the product of four months of painstaking negotiations. Elements of the deal, brokered by a bipartisan working group, had been teased in the days leading up to its release; however, the granular details offered by the text itself will determine how much support the bill receives in the Senate. The package, part of a larger national security supplemental, will be considered as soon as Wednesday. The negotiations have been a lightning rod for controversy ever since they began in earnest, with apparent leaks threatening to derail the legislation before it ever came to light.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORA...
