Last week we got a peek at the last batch of federal fundraising numbers that will be available before the June 25th Primary Election in Colorado. There is a very obvious theme that emerges when you peruse the numbers: Republican candidates for Congress aren’t raising squat — particularly by comparison to their Democratic counterparts. Take […]
We noted earlier this week that Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) was predicting another big vote on women’s rights issues, and today it happened. As The Washington Post reports: Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked consideration of a bill to protect access to in vitro fertilization, the latest Democratic effort to put the GOP on the […]
(Gabe pro quo? — by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder The Trump Campaign won’t say whether Trump’s endorsement of Colorado congressional candidate Gabe Evans was influenced by Evans’ refusal to say, two days before the endorsement, whether he thinks the 2020 presidential election was legitimate or stolen from Trump. Evans During […]
This Saturday, carpetbagging quasi-incumbent Rep. Lauren Boebert will be holding a campaign event in Castle Rock, which many Denver metro-area liberals might still be surprised to learn is how close Boebert’s would-be new district is to their own abodes. Accompanying Rep. Boebert at her Castle Rock stop is Rep. Thomas Massie, the ever-cantankerous Kentucky Republican […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports today, the crisis within the Colorado Republican Party over the reckless, self-dealing party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams is coming to a head following last week’s over-the-top smearing of LGBTQ+ people in honor of Pride Month blasted out under the state party’s brand, with a growing […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The good news (for Biden) and bad news (for Republicans) keeps on rolling in. The latest: Inflation in May was ZERO. Nada. Nil. From The Washington Post: Fresh data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed slight improvement from April, when prices rose at an annual rate of 3.4 percent. […]
This week, the Senate will vote on a bill to protect access to IVF. I’m voting yes. Relentless attacks by Republicans on reproductive freedom post-Roe threaten the dreams of families like my own. pic.twitter.com/YaCUWG1wF9 — Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) June 9, 2024 Here’s Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado discussing the upcoming vote this week on […]
Republican State Rep. Gabe-ish Evans, who is hoping to defeat former State Rep. Janak Joshi in the Republican Primary Election in CO-08, picked up a boost on Monday from America’s most prominent porn star payoff-maker. That’s right: Evans has received the “Complete and Total Endorsement” from Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. As Ernest Luning explains […]
[NOTE: We’ll update this space to continue discussing Thursday’s historic verdict in New York that made Donald Trump the first former President in American history to become a convicted felon.] The verdict is in, and the whining has begun. —– He’s #1! He’s #1! —– As The Washington Post reports, Trump is getting an outpouring […]
UPDATE #2: Gov. Jared Polis responds: No one is above the law. Coloradans have faith in our justice system and the guilty convictions from a jury of his peers show the former President lacks the moral capacity to lead our country. Rep. Diana DeGette: The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn. No […]
“Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.” If you don’t speak Latin — and there’s really know reason you should — you might not recognize that this is a statement that should seem quite familiar. The English version is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.” […]
Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) was first elected to Congress in 2018 and just turned 40 this month. His resume is already that of someone much older, and national news outlets are increasingly figuring out what Colorado has known for awhile now: Neguse is a rising star. Neguse was just 36-years-old when he served as […]
Political campaigns have always been a fascinating mix of art and science when it comes to figuring out how to both influence and catch the attention of potential voters. Honing a message and finding the right talking points can be a difficult process, though there are some decisions that should be easy (like not placing […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, with six months left to go until the 2024 election, we look at the state of the U.S. House, the Senate, and the Presidential race that will literally determine the course of American and probably global history.

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 […]
This story originally appeared on coloradotimesrecorder.com During the May 4 Colorado House vote for the “Protecting The Freedom to Marry” measure, which asks voters to repeal the ban on same-sex marriage that Colorado currently has in the State Constitution, one Democrat, Rep.

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.

But if that’s not enough for the oil and gas industry, and it may not […]
