Colorado Public Radio’s Andrew Kenney reports on the continuing struggle in the Colorado Senate to find one solitary Republican lawmaker willing to complete a supermajority in favor of Senate Concurrent Resolution 001, a.k.a. the Child Sexual Abuse Accountability Amendment, which would refer to the voters a ballot question that if approved would open a “look […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This story originally appeared on the Colorado Times Recorder. Colorado anti-abortion activists spoke out against Colorado’s abortion policy and Proposition 89, the ballot initiative that would enshrine abortion access in Colorado’s Constitution, during the inaugural March for Life event in Denver on Friday. While Colorado anti-abortion groups have held annual marches […]
The Washington Post is tracking developments today in the first criminal trial against ex-President Donald Trump, this being the alleged falsification of business records to conceal a “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels over an extramarital affair, getting underway with jury selection: Donald Trump is in a Manhattan courtroom, where his hush money trial […]
The current session of Congress is well on its way to going down in history as perhaps the single most ineffective two years in American history. Think about that for a moment: This is the 118th session of Congress. None of the previous 117 sessions were as useless as this current version overseen by a […]
As part of their long-running efforts to prove that they are absolutely not serious people interested in useful discussions about anything, House Republicans will today waste a few hours of everyone’s time in a pointless quest to impeach Secretary of State Jena Griswold. What for? Let’s dig in… When and Where Will this Circus […]
The removal Saturday of Colorado Sun veteran political number-cruncher Sandra Fish from the Colorado Republican Party’s state assembly in Pueblo has escalated into a major public-relations disaster for Colorado Republican Party chairman and CO-05 congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, who has found himself under surprisingly intense attack from fellow Colorado Republicans as the […]
(This story was originally published on coloradotimesrecorder.com — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Douglas County election conspiracist, podcast host, and defamation defendant Joe Oltmann had Lydia Brimelow, publisher of the white nationalist website VDARE, on his Conservative Daily podcast yesterday. “At VDARE.com, we’ve called ourselves the voice of the historic American nation,” said Brimelow. “The idea […]
Republican legislators demonstrated for the gazillionth time on Tuesday that they are only interested in “mental health” as an argument against doing anything about gun violence prevention. We’ve seen it time and time again: Republicans say that the real problem with gun violence is mental health and that any attempts to discuss legislation about the guns […]
As we have long known, former President Donald Trump is a YUGE fan of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whether or not Putin shares a fondness for Trump is unclear, but the Russian dictator certainly prefers to deal with the obsequious orange guy when it comes to relations with the United States. Putin knows that Trump […]
Jason Salzman at the Colorado Times Recorder has the first coverage from the surprising outcome Saturday at the Republican assembly for the ultra-competitive CO-08 congressional seat, in which Americans For Prosperity-endorsed state Rep. Gabe-ish Evans failed to eliminate his primary opponent former Rep. Janak Joshi, setting up a race to the right ahead of the […]

As CNN reported late yesterday, the California State Bar Court has ruled that John Eastman, former University of Colorado “conservative scholar” and attorney for the Colorado Republican Party in their unsuccessful attempt to exclude unaffiliated voters from their primaries–and most importantly for today, the architect of ex-President Donald Trump’s failed attempt to overturn the results […]
As the Washington Post’s Philip Bump reports, though the word is spreading excitedly throughout Christendom: On Tuesday, [Donald Trump] announced a promotion that might endear him even further to the central Christian text: a “God Bless the USA” Bible, some of the proceeds of which will flow back to him… The promoted Bible has not […]

The Washington Post’s Toluse Olorunnipa reports today on the sustained new vigor seen from President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign in the weeks since Biden’s fiery and on-point State of the Union address upended the manufactured presumptions about Biden’s fitness for office. After giving the speech of his life, Biden on tour is making the case […]
(Gabe-ish Evans casts his lot — Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Gabe Evans has been running for Colorado’s newest congressional seat since September, but despite being the most prominent Republican in the race, he’s mostly avoided bringing up the name of his party’s standard bearer, former President Donald Trump. That changed Saturday when Adams […]
It was a recurring theme during carpetbagging calamity Rep. Lauren Boebert’s term representing Colorado’s Third Congressional District that, after voting against legislation containing line items beneficial to her district, Boebert would take credit for these benefits with (at least at first) no attempt made to bridge the factual gap between her votes and press releases. […]
As readers know, a state of more or less open war exists today between the Colorado Republican Party and the conservative advocacy group Americans For Prosperity over the latter’s recent Republican primary endorsements: in the Republican presidential primary of the now-vanquished Nikki Haley, but more importantly for local consumption AFP’s endorsement of Jeff Crank in […]
In a remarkably short period of time, former state Rep. Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams has transformed from a sideshow occupying the House seat formerly held by the equally embarrassing ex-Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt, not expected to have any further political upward mobility, into a chaos agent perhaps unparalleled in the history of the […]
The Colorado legislature is discussing several gun violence prevention (GVP) bills this session after passing a handful of important changes in 2023. We could point you toward polling data showing how the issue of gun violence has changed in Colorado since Colorado’s “no compromise” gun rights group, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO), helped lead a […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, yesterday afternoon ex-President Donald Trump repaid with interest–in political capital, not dollars of course–the support of a man his campaign once fired for incompetence, Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, with an endorsement in the CO-05 primary for Williams returning the […]
Friday night, 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger fact-checked an ad from the American Petroleum Institute that has been in heavy rotation in recent days including the local broadcast of the Academy Awards last night. It’s another ad darkly warning that Democrats in the Colorado legislature are “pushing the most extreme anti-energy bills in state history,” echoing the […]
President Biden delivered a passionate State of the Union (SOTU) speech on Thursday that was more political than most but appeared to hit all of the right notes. As The Hill newspaper reported on Sunday, even former Biden detractors were applauding his SOTU remarks: New York Times columnist Ezra Klein walked back his previous demands […]
We know, we know: It totally does seem like Republican Ron Hanks has been around FOR-EV-ER. But his 2024 campaign for Congress in CO-03 is only his third campaign in the last three election cycles (State House in 2020, U.S. Senate in 2022). Hanks has been doing some real thinking since we last saw him […]
UPDATE: Fields responds to this post by effectively saying, In order to prove my original argument, here is more of the same argument! —– Republicans in Colorado and across the country are using immigration reform as one of their top issues as they campaign for public office in 2024. These Republicans know that fear-mongering and fist-shaking […]
