The Silicon Valley Bank meltdown is hitting some Colorado startups
https://www.cpr.org/2023/03/13/silicon-valley-bank-colorado-startups/ 
GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert took to Twitter to accuse regulators of giving the banks a “bailout” that she said is “about protecting the donor base of the Democrats and ensuring if you invest in DEI and ESG you’ll be just fine!” Boebert offered no proof to support those claims. SVB had a high concentration of tech and venture capital clients, while Signature had many cryptocurrency clients. The Western Slope legislator also referenced the Sunday night briefing call, highlighting that a fellow member asked what steps the administration was taking to stop misinformation about the banks on social media. Boebert tweeted “this administration AGAIN just committed the federal government to interfere with free speech. Unacceptable!”

https://www.the-journal.com/articles/rep-lauren-boebert-speaks-with-dolores-students-about-civic-engagement-and-rights-you-are-the-now/ 
School officials and Boebert’s office billed the session in the Dolores Schools gymnasium as a kind of civics discussion, but the congresswoman also spoke of her efforts with the Freedom Caucus – a conservative bloc of Republican representatives – the U.S. response to COVID-19, and in response to students’ questions, about her personal and political development. Boebert, a second-term Republican, represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, which includes 27 counties comprising about 50,000 square miles. The congresswoman spoke to students about her role as a representative and emphasized that she relies on the Constitution and the Founding Fathers’ Federalist Papers as a guide in her work.

“What Lauren Boebert doesn’t know about American history could fill the Library of Congress. So it’s not surprising to see her repeat the myth that California never had slavery,” political historian Dr. Kevin Waite told Newsweek. In addition to being an associate professor of U.S. history at Durham University, Waite is the author of the 2021 book West of Slavery: The Southern Dream of a Transcontinental Empire, which examined slavery in California and the American Southwest.

Defamation lawsuit against Boebert heading to a Colorado courtroom, Muckrakers president says
https://coloradonewsline.com/2023/03/15/defamation-lawsuit-boebert-colorado-muckrakers/ 
A North Carolina political activist is preparing to file a lawsuit against U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Silt in federal court in Colorado, the activist told Newsline. David Wheeler, president of the American Muckrakers PAC, sued Boebert in a North Carolina state court last year for defamation and malicious prosecution. In January, the judge dismissed the case, saying that the proper venue for it was in Colorado. Wheeler said he’s heeding the judge’s advice and is poised to bring a similar lawsuit against Boebert in Colorado, though now he plans to file in federal court.

Sarah Parker, a co-founder of Women’s Voice of Southwest Florida, told the panel the discussion over the bill gave her “Lauren Boebert vibes,” referring to the 36-year-old Colorado Congresswoman who last week announced she will soon be a grandmother. “I’m trying to figure out when we’re going to start celebrating teen pregnancy,” she said. “You know this bill is wildly unpopular. I never thought I would be on the side of Sen. Rick Scott, but here I am. Thank you, again, for imploding yourselves.”
