House conservatives’ hardball tactics anger moderates and leave McCarthy in middle
https://theatlantavoice.com/house-conservatives-hardball-tactics-anger-moderates-and-leave-mccarthy-in-middle/ 
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a blunt message for House GOP moderates: Impeach President Joe Biden or face a fierce backlash from voters next year. “What’s going to hurt them is not supporting articles of impeachment,” Greene, the Georgia firebrand, told CNN. On the other side: Republicans in swing districts wary of the tactics embraced by Greene and others on the far right as they push their conference in a sharply conservative direction and away from the bread-and-butter issues they sold to voters.

After MTG calls Lauren Boebert ‘a little [expletive],’ long-simmering feud reaches boiling point
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/06/28/nation/heckling-biden-together-publicly-fighting-unpacking-long-simmering-mtg-boebert-feud/ 
Representatives Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene were once seen as kindred spirits, sharing a divisive political style and intense opposition to Democrats. The Republicans protested the certification of Joe Biden as president and heckled him during his first State of the Union address. They often sat beside each other in the House chamber or walked the halls together. Both stalwart Donald Trump supporters, they seemed to maintain the same circle of right-wing colleagues. But over the past year, they have been locked in an increasingly public feud that has made their alliance seem like a distant memory.

Boebert Attacks Democratic Opponent’s Family for Being OB-GYNs Who Perform Abortions
https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/2023/06/boebert-attacks-democratic-opponents-family-for-being-ob-gyns-who-perform-abortions/54448/ 
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) criticized Adam Frisch, her Democratic opponent, running for her seat for the second time, and attacked Melvin and Hope, Frisch’s father and sister, for their history as OB-GYNs. “Abortions paid for Adam’s privileged childhood and private schooling, and abortionists help fund his campaign,” Boebert was quoted as saying in a Fox News article Friday. When Boebert retweeted Fox News’ story, she wrote, “Abortion is the Frisch family business. It’s shameful to see anyone use the killing of innocent babies to line the pockets of their political campaign and fund their family’s Aspen lifestyle.”

Democrats decry — while Republicans welcome — end of affirmative action in college admissions

Colorado Democrats decried and Republicans welcomed Thursday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action, with Democrats saying justices turned their backs on a strategy that has served to “correct for past discrimination” and offer “more opportunities to historically underrepresented communities. Republicans in turn argued that college admissions should only be based on individual merit. Lauding the court’s decision, state House Minority Leader Mike Lynch said no American under the U.S. Constitution should “ever be denied opportunity because of the color of their skin or because of their race.”

House Republicans push off Biden impeachment bid for now as hard-right clamors for action
https://www.denverpost.com/2023/06/22/house-republicans-push-off-biden-impeachment-bid-for-now-as-hard-right-clamors-for-action/ 
Rep. Lauren Boebert, backed by allies, was able to use House rules to force a snap vote on such a grave constitutional matter. The 219-208 party-line vote sent her resolution to committees for possible consideration, like any other bill. They are under no obligation to do anything. Still, Boebert, R-Colo., argued during debate, “The House is taking historic action.” The episode underscores the hold that the House conservative flank exerts over McCarthy, compelling him to accommodate their hard-right priorities if he wants to stay in power.

House Freedom Caucus faces an internal purge push

Compounding that sentiment: an ugly floor fight this week between Greene and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. Greene confirmed a Daily Beast report that she called her Freedom Caucus colleague “a little bitch” on the House floor, telling reporters that the story was “impressively correct.” In an interview following the spat, Boebert demurred when asked where she stands on the Freedom Caucus purge pitch: “If something comes up,” she said, “then we’ll address it.” “It’s really unfortunate that somebody communicated the conversation that took place on the floor” between herself and Greene, Boebert added, “because I was willing to walk away [from] people wanting to stir up unnecessary drama.”

Boebert blasts Dem opponent fundraising off family members performing abortions: ‘Disgusting’
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/boebert-blasts-dem-opponent-fundraising-family-performing-abortions-disgusting 
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., accused her 2024 Democrat opponent of choosing “to fundraise off the killing of innocent babies” after a campaign email touted his family members’ long history in the abortion industry. Adam Frisch, the Democrat vying for the Republican-held Colorado seat next cycle, sent an email blast Saturday, highlighting that members of his family were abortion doctors and labeling Boebert’s pro-life position as “extreme.” Adam’s father, Melvin Frisch, has a decades-long history of work in the abortion industry dating back to the early 1970s, when he served in the Public Health Service on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana.

A liberal super PAC and non-profit is claiming multiple media appearances made by Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in June 2022 constitute defamation. At the time, Boebert was defending accusations that she had two abortions, worked as a paid escort for a period of time, and had previously used methamphetamine; all claims made by the organization now suing her. Those claims were published on a website called fireboebert.com, which has been established and run by the American Muckrakers organization. On June 13, 2022, they published the aforementioned claims that they gleaned from previously unnamed sources. Now, in federal court, they are revealing the names of those sources and taking aim at the Republican Congresswoman once again.

How the Democrat Who Lost to Lauren Boebert by 546 Votes Plans to Oust Her in 2024
https://time.com/6287766/lauren-boebert-frisch-2024-race/ 
Last year, Democrat Adam Frisch launched what most thought was a longshot bid for Congress against one of the nation’s most famous conservative firebrands: Rep. Lauren Boebert. It ended up becoming the closest House race in the country, with the Republican incumbent squeaking through by 546 votes. Now Frisch is running again as less of a longshot and more of a certified contender, arguing the proof of concept he delivered last time will mean swing voters will be even more open to backing him in 2024.

Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has introduced articles of impeachment against Pres. Joe Biden for “his unconstitutional dereliction of duty at the southern border.” Boebert released this statement, “Joe Biden unconstitutionally violated his duty under Article II of the Constitution to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed’ by intentionally disregarding our immigration laws and enabling an invasion along our southern border. Joe Biden is unable and unwilling to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States. To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, it is imperative that the House of Representatives impeach Joe Biden and hold him accountable for his egregious violations of his oath of office.”

“Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said in a Thursday post to Twitter. “It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him.” McCarthy pledged to “stand with President Trump against this grave injustice.” Staunch Trump supporter U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Silt tweeted, “The weaponization of our government is totally out of control and we need to do everything in our power to bring it under control!”

When Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) filed her 2022 financial disclosure in May, it was nearly indistinguishable from her 2021 report—and that could be a problem. That’s because Boebert reported no royalties from the memoir she released last July, My American Life. Congressional guidelines and legal experts said her lack of reported income would violate House ethics rules. A Boebert spokesperson told The Daily Beast that the Colorado conservative and 2020 election denier did not receive any money from her book deal until January 2023.

Citing Video Showing Boebert Running To Vote on Debt Bill, Activists Call On Her To Apologize for Claiming Absence Was a ‘No Show Protest’

Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s desperate race up the U.S. Capitol steps to try to cast her vote on the debt bill, caught in a CNN video over the weekend, has prompted an activist group to call on her to apologize for “failing to do her job by missing the vote on the debt ceiling bill and then lying about her reason for missing the vote.” In a statement that is now part of the Congressional Record, Boebert initially explained that she missed the voted because she was “unavoidably detained.” Later, she claimed she was engaging in a “no show protest.” ProgressNow Colorado — a multi-issue state advocacy organization — launched a petition yesterday urging people to “join our call for Rep. Boebert to apologize for her dishonesty and failure to accomplish the one job voters sent her to Washington to do.”

Lamborn, Boebert Propose ‘Equal Protection’ for Fetuses
https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/2023/06/lamborn-boebert-propose-equal-protection-for-fetuses/53931/ 
U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) introduced House Resolution 464, “Acknowledging that unborn children are legal and constitutional persons who are entitled to the equal protection of the laws,” on Monday. The 20 co-sponsors include Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), among others. Lamborn’s resolution cites the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, claiming that it “situated its equal protection guarantee within a common-law and statutory context that prohibited abortion and treated the unborn human being throughout pregnancy as a ‘person,’ who under ‘common and civil law’ was ‘to all intents and purposes a child, as much as if born.’”

Far Right Turns on Marjorie Taylor Greene—and MTG Hits Back in Text to Matt Gaetz
https://www.thedailybeast.com/far-right-turns-on-marjorie-taylor-greeneand-mtg-hits-back-in-text-to-matt-gaetz 
A MAGA soldier from a deep-red district, Greene spent her first few years in office as a thorn in the side of House GOP leadership. Her attention-seeking, Biden-bashing, pro-Trump antics endeared her to the conservative base as much as they alienated her with GOP leaders. And she owned the persona unapologetically. But lately, a different Marjorie Taylor Greene has emerged—one who’s found favor with Speaker Kevin McCarthy and scorn from the conservative allies who once adored her. And according to a text message Greene sent to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Friday, Greene may be even more done with certain MAGA influencers than they are with her.

How Colorado Democrats say they’ll unseat Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 3rd district
https://www.denverpost.com/2023/06/05/lauren-boebert-adam-frisch-democrat-votes/ 
U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s seat in Colorado’s sprawling 3rd Congressional District is vulnerable, Democratic officials say, and they’re launching a 17-month campaign to replace the far-right congresswoman. Colorado Democratic Party Chair Shad Murib announced the organization’s 546 Project Monday morning. The project takes its name from the number of votes that separated Boebert from her Democratic Challenger, Adam Frisch, in the November election. In short, Colorado Democrats will lean on volunteers – they have more than two dozen so far – to knock on doors, call, text and email voters throughout the congressional district and muster support against Boebert, Murib said during a news conference.

A left-leaning Colorado nonprofit launched a six-figure ad campaign this week calling on U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert to support lower prescription drug costs and federal social safety net programs. Rocky Mountain Values announced at a press conference in Pueblo on Thursday that the group plans to spend $300,000 this summer on TV, digital, radio, print and mail ads urging the Rifle Republican to listen to her constituents and stop grandstanding, a spokeswoman for the group told Colorado Politics. “We will no longer allow her antics and her extremism to distract from the fact that her record fails to deliver for Coloradans on the issues that matter most to us,” said Justin Lamorte, the group’s executive director.

Lauren Boebert misses vote on debt ceiling deal, which she vocally opposed
https://www.denverpost.com/2023/06/01/lauren-boebert-debt-ceiling-vote-missed/ 
U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has been an ardent opponent of raising the country’s debt ceiling to avoid default, but she did not cast her vote on the issue Wednesday. The House passed legislation to raise the government’s debt ceiling on Wednesday just days before a critical deadline that would damage the country’s credit rating and, economists warn, spark a recession. The vote came after days of tense negotiations between House Republicans and President Joe Biden’s administration. The Senate must still pass the measure. The bill passed 314-117 in the House with bipartisan support, well over the simple majority needed, so Boebert’s vote wouldn’t have been the deciding factor in the matter. But the far-right congresswoman, whose sprawling district covers Colorado’s Western Slope, repeatedly spoke out against the move.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Garfield County joined the five Democrats in Colorado’s House delegation in requesting earmarks. She was opposed to the earmark process last year, but supports it now after the GOP majority in the House instituted new rules about what the money can be requested for. “As a result of our historic changes, I am now able to fight for important infrastructure projects for the 3rd District of Colorado,” she wrote in an opinion piece. In a competing opinion piece, Hickenlooper pushed back on her claim that earmarks were somehow previously corrupt, citing numerous projects he sponsored in the 3rd Congressional District over the past two years.

The Biden administration announced the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism to protect Jewish communities across the US this week. Biden released a video about the new strategy, saying hate has been “given too much oxygen” in recent years and has fuelled a “record rise in antisemitism.” But Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert denounced the plan in a tweet to her 2.5 million followers: “When they say stuff like this, they mean they want to go after conservatives.”
