Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is facing criticism after Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed she spent over $3,300 of her campaign funds on concert tickets and a hotel in Texas on the same weekend her once-rumored boyfriend—MAGA singer Kid Rock—was performing.

Boebert’s campaign reported expenses for a hotel stay in Arlington, Texas, and for event tickets purchased in May. On May 16, Boebert attended the Rock N Rodeo — part of the Professional Bull Riding Championship World Finals at AT&T Stadium — an event hosted by Kid Rock. She even shared a photo of herself with the singer on social media.


Three days after the event, her campaign reported two payments: $2,455.83 to the Arlington hotel Live by Loews and another $925 for “Event Tickets” at AT&T Stadium, the filings show.

These actions violate The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), which bars political candidates from using campaign funds for personal use.

Adding to this, Boebert was linked to Kid Rock earlier this year after they were seen getting "cozy" in a taxi cab at one of President Donald Trump’s inaugural parties.

There is also video footage of the two of them dancing.

The news of Boebert's latest scandal has sparked anger.


This isn't the first time Boebert has run afoul of the FEC.

Federal agents have probed Boebert's apparent personal use of thousands of dollars in campaign funds. Their action came after the FEC sent a letter to the treasurer of Boebert's 2022 reelection campaign informing them of their investigation after four Venmo payments totaling more than $6,000 raised red flags.

The agency noted it would "consider taking further legal action" in the event investigators determine any of the Venmo payments "constitutes the personal use of campaign funds."

Boebert also drew the ire of the feds after she failed to disclose her then-husband's income from an energy firm.

Boebert's former husband, Jayson Boebert, made $478,000 in 2020 working as a consultant for "Terra Energy Productions." No such company exists. However, Terra Energy Partners, a Houston-based firm that claims to be "one of the largest producers of natural gas in Colorado," has a heavy presence in Boebert's former district.

Boebert's campaign finance disclosure lists "Boebert Consulting—spouse," but lists Jayson Boebert's income as "N/A." The Boeberts claimed that their income came from their restaurant, Shooters Grill, which lost $143,000 in 2019 and $226,000 in 2020.

Teacher Blames 'No Child Left Behind' For Current Education Crisis In Mic Drop TikTok Rant

No Child Left Behind was signed in 2002 under the Bush Administration, and many teachers voiced their concerns about how this would impact education, not just for students who were pushed to the next grade level before they were ready, but for their surrounding teachers and peers.

These teachers' concerns were widely dismissed, with many people going so far as to scorn teachers and to accuse them of not wanting to work hard and teach their students. This set the initial tone of too much responsibility being placed on teachers under NCLB.

Robin Williams' Daughter Rips Trolls For Posting AI Videos Of Her Late Dad: 'Leave Him Out Of Your Delusional Bullsh*t'

With an increase in AI-generated content, it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell what is real and what is fake.

But one feature of this shift that's particularly insensitive is the number of deepfake videos that are appearing of late celebrities, often presented as private content that's been leaked, or fake footage that teases the idea of the cause of their death being more nefarious than the tragedy it already was.

Resurfaced Photo Of Erika Kirk's MAGA Sneakers Has Everyone Doing A Double-Take

A year after Charlie Kirk's assassination, Erika Kirk has become one of the more recognizable faces in conservative politics. But apparently, her growing political profile isn't the only thing turning heads—her footwear is getting some attention of its own.

And it's been quite a year for Kirk. Between the ongoing criminal case against her husband's accused killer and a shooting near April's White House Correspondents' Dinner, the Turning Point USA CEO has rarely been out of the headlines.

Trump Dragged After Offering Mind-Numbing Name Change For AI—And It's Peak Trump

In August 1955, computer and cognitive scientist John McCarthy of Dartmouth College and mathematician Marvin Minsky of Harvard University joined industry members Nathaniel Rochester of IBM and Claude Shannon of Bell Telephone Laboratories to submit a proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project on the subject of "artificial intelligence."

Their workshop took place in July and August 1956 and is widely recognized as the official birth of AI as an academic, technical, and scientific discipline. The terms "artificial intelligence" and the acronym "AI," which have gained international recognition and usage since then, were attributed to McCarthy, who chose the phrase to distinguish it as a new field separate from the work of cybernetics pioneer Norbert Wiener.
