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 […]
NBC News reports, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s vow to stay in the 2024 presidential race indefinitely expired about twelve hours after the last polls closed on Super Tuesday: Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley dropped out of the 2024 presidential race Wednesday after losing every state but Vermont in Super Tuesday’s primary contests, […]
We interrupt our coverage of Colorado political news for this big story from our caddy-corner neighbor to the southwest: Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who disaffiliated from the Democratic Party after emerging as a major roadblock to the Senate majority’s agenda two years ago, will retire instead of running for another term. Washington Post: Sen. Kyrsten […]
Today is Aerospace Day at the Colorado State Capitol, and some of the major defense and space exploration companies with Colorado ties are in the building today handing out cool swag like the United Launch Alliance’s “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” keychains and general goodwill on behalf of the economically significant military-space-industrial complex. Not surprisingly, some left-leaning […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Under questioning from a hard-line abortion opponent this morning, a Colorado congressional candidate said he’d support a national abortion ban, performing a perfect flip-flop from his answer to the exact same question in January. Asked by KNUS radio host Jeff Hunt this morning if he’d support a “national ban on abortions” […]
Colorado Newsline’s Chase Woodruff reports this morning, it’s the outcome overwhelmingly expected after tough oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court last month–with Justices ruling unanimously that the state of Colorado cannot itself enforce the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution barring individuals who have engaged in insurrection from running for federal office. “Because the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Democrats in Washington have introduced legislation that would establish a statutory right to access in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technology services. U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) has co-sponsored the Access to Family Building Act, which he says will ensure no hopeful parent or doctor is punished for trying to […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Sun’s Sandra Fish with initial reactions: “It’s unprecedented,” said Suzanne Taheri, a Republican strategist and Haley supporter who is a former deputy Colorado secretary of state. “It’s certainly unethical … (Wiliams is) targeting his own district to promote himself — using the money from the state fund.” Rich Sokol, a former Arapahoe […]
As The Washington Post reports, House Speaker “MAGA” Mike Johnson once again needed the help of Democrats in order to pass a ONE WEEK EXTENSION for funding critical government services: The House on Thursday approved legislation to extend the expiration date for federal funding later into March, sending the measure to prevent a partial government […]
As Bente Birkeland and Caitlyn Kim reported Wednesday for Colorado Public Radio: Former President Ronald Reagan famously quipped that the Eleventh Commandment was, “thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.” As Colorado GOP chair Dave Williams approaches his one-year anniversary in the job, it’s a commandment he regularly breaches. Under his leadership, Williams is […]

If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). If you […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Paolo Zialcita reports on the latest sordid chapter in transplanted but no less drama-infused GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s “American Life,” though we doubt Boebert’s biography will be updated to include developments since its publication. As readers know, Rep. Boebert’s tagline on her social media profile is that she is “Raising my boys […]
