More “Official” GOP Primary Endorsements Imminent

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 […]

Smoke ‘Em if You Got ‘Em: Federal Government to Ease Weed Restrictions

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 […]

A Few More Words On Rep. Richard Holtorf’s Tragic Inability To Stop Talking

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 […]

Child Labor, That Classic Republican Blind Spot

Yesterday the Colorado House passed House Bill 24-1095, legislation to increase penalties on employers who violate child labor law. From a House Democratic majority press release: “Over the years, Colorado has made important progress to improve child labor laws – but we must ensure violators are held accountable for their actions,” said Rep. Sheila Lieder, […]

The Republican Field for Congress in CO-08

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

Speaker Johnson Frowns On Dave Williams’ Primary Chicanery

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 […]

Gun “Safety” Statistics Commonly Cited by Republican Lawmakers are Utter Nonsense

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 […]

Trump Hush Money Trial: Day Of The Pecker, Part 2

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 […]

Jerry Sonnenberg Finds His Voice After Boebert Votes Against Israel Aid

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. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to allow votes on these three separate bills, each with its own bipartisan majority coalition available to pass, has outraged the hard right led by Rep. […]

Trump Hush Money Trial: Day Of The Pecker, Part 1

Colorado Republicans Vote Against Veterans AND Sex Abuse Victims in 24 Hours

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 […]

“Child Sexual Abuse Has Never Been A Partisan Issue Before”

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 […]

Inaugural March for Life Attacks Colorado Abortion Policy and Prop 89

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This story originally appeared on the Colorado Times Recorder.

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 Liberty in Laundry Act: Democrats are Sick of Republican Nonsense in Congress

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 […]

Utter Nonsense: Your Guide to Today’s Griswold Impeachment Hearing

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 […]

Trump Rides To Dave Williams’ Rescue As Assembly Outrage Goes National

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 […]

Once Again, Republicans Only Support Mental Health In Theory

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 […]

Donald Trump “Endorsed” by Russia and China

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 […]

Gabe-ish Evans Couldn’t Close The Deal Against Janak “Dr. Nick” Joshi

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 […]

It’s Official: Colorado Republicans Need A New Lawyer

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 […]
