John,
The least surprising news you've likely seen lately is that Lauren Boebert and her ex-husband were involved in a domestic dispute and physical altercation in a restaurant/bar in Silt, Colorado—a town 60 miles northwest of Aspen.
Initial reports stated that Lauren may have assaulted her ex-husband, Jayson; Jayson recanted this story, and was recently booked into jail in Glenwood Springs, Colorado on charges of assault, harassment, prohibited use of weapons, obstructing a peace officer, disorderly conduct, and obstruction of a police officer, according to USA TODAY.
This is of course part and parcel of the chaos that follows Lauren Boebert. But the more relevant political factor here is not necessarily the dispute and police reports—it's that Boebert isn't even on the ground yet in the new congressional district she intends to run in, and is still conducting her personal affairs and residing in her old district, over 300 miles away.
