As expected, yesterday the Colorado Republican Party in the grip of self-dealing chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams delivered another controversial endorsement in a contested Republican primary, throwing the party’s nameplate support behind former state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks in a race that should be safely off the table in terms of […]
Janak Joshi is having himself a moment. The former state legislator from Colorado Springs is trying to make a political comeback in northern Colorado (CO-08), and he might just have a shot at pulling an upset in June. After just barely making it onto the ballot via the Republican congressional assembly process (literally by one […]

On the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discussed what might be the most impossible paradox in modern American politics: This question is so difficult, in fact, that we decided to put it to a vote among readers of Colorado Pols. By now you’ve probably heard […]
As the Washington Post reports, this week in the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump on charges related to a “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, concealed by allegedly criminal accounting sleight-of-hand, turned to Trump’s former attorney-turned blood enemy Michael Cohen, who orchestrated the payoff and described over the last two days […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Republican Party has officially endorsed former State Rep. Janak Joshi over current State Rep. Gabe-ish Evans ahead of the June 25th Primary Election in CO-08. The announcement includes an extra-dickish swipe at Evans and Americans for Prosperity, the latter of which is spending big money trying to defeat State Party Chairman Dave […]
The United States currently produces more oil than any country at any time in history. Under President Joe Biden. The two largest American oil companies — ExxonMobil and Chevron — recently reported their largest annual profits in more than a decade. But if that’s not enough for the oil and gas industry, and it may not […]
From landmark new renter protections signed into law to the passage of important pieces of Gov. Jared Polis’ agenda for affordable housing, reproductive rights, marriage equality, and gun safety, the 2024 session of the Colorado General Assembly was a major success for stakeholders who persisted and kept organizing despite past legislative setbacks.

That’s the word this morning in a statement from Jefferson County Republican Party chair Nancy Pallozzi, a fundraiser planned for tomorrow at the Denver West Marriott headlined by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been cancelled as the repercussions from Noem’s disclosure in a new memoir that she personally shot and killed a young hunting […]
Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced today that she will demand yet another motion to vacate and remove Republican Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Greene made the announcement even though she has virtually no support among fellow Republicans…and even though Democrats have already promised to put a stop to this nonsense. From […]
We wrote last week about escalating controversy over the Colorado Republican Party’s new policy under chairman and (conveniently) CO-05 congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams of formally endorsing Republican candidates in primary elections, beginning with ex-President Donald Trump in January and now extending to congressional races across the state. What began as an endorsement […]
Colorado and Washington were the first two states to legalize recreational marijuana through successful ballot initiatives in 2012. Since then, 22 more states have followed while 40 states, including the District of Columbia, have legalized medical marijuana. And now we’ve moved another YUGE step closer to legalizing — or at least decriminalizing — the stinky […]
Yesterday the Colorado House debated and eventually gave initial passage to Senate Bill 24-131, a bill that would prohibit firearms in certain “sensitive spaces.” The bill’s original broad scope was pared down considerably in amendments, but one amendment along the way more or less has become the focus of debate over the entire bill: prohibiting […]
Yesterday the Colorado House passed House Bill 24-1095, legislation to increase penalties on employers who violate child labor law.

Sheila Lieder, […]
Colorado will have four major Congressional Primary races in June (CO-03, CO-04, CO-05, and CO-08).

Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports today on the escalating controversy over Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams’ use of party resources to promote his personal political ambitions, which has since the party’s state assembly earlier this month grown into support for a slate of candidates with official backing in the June […]
Republicans in the state legislature continue to obey their idiot masters at the NRA and RMGO in opposing any and all gun violence prevention legislation. It matters not whether these proposals are straightforward and obvious concepts; if Democrats suggest so much as limiting someone’s access to owning a combination machine gun and flamethrower, Colorado Republican […]
The first witness in the trial currently underway over former President Donald Trump’s alleged falsification of business records to conceal a “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, former National Enquirer publisher and longtime Trump business associate David Pecker, only had a few minutes to preview yesterday the full extent of his role in […]
Over the weekend, the U.S. House passed three separate foreign aid bills appropriating billions of dollars to support allies in Taiwan, Ukraine, and Israel.

Republicans in the state legislature are not serious people. They have demonstrated this time and time again during the last two legislative cycles (and well before then). Republicans spend well more than their fair share of time yammering about one thing or another in order to grind legislative happenings to a halt. When that strategy […]
