For the first time in 12 years, Denver has a new Mayor today. Mike Johnston took the oath of office today to become the 46th Mayor of the City of Denver, formally ending the 12-year tenure of Michael Hancock.

(The fact that this movie even exists is bizarre enough — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By James O’Rourke, Colorado Times Recorder This month, conservatives have lauded the breakout success of Angel Studios’ new thriller film “Sound of Freedom.” Released on July 3, it has held its own in the box office against major blockbusters, even […]
We wrote on Thursday about Colorado Democrats’ opposition to Congressional Republicans holding military funding hostage for a variety of pet causes. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) has been refusing to approve Department of Defense (DoD) reprogramming requests — which significantly impact many service members in Colorado — as part of an effort […]
As the Washington Post reports, the Food and Drug Administration has approved the first-ever oral contraceptive available without a doctor’s prescription. Making oral contraceptives available over the counter builds on the 2010 Affordable Care Act’s provision that eliminated insurance copays for the medication: Federal regulators Thursday approved the first over-the-counter birth control pill available in […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Mesa County Colorado is officially on the world map these days, thanks to the likes of Tina Peters and Lauren Boebert, but what is causing me a lot of worry these days is the direction of the Mesa County Health Department’s Board. Janet Rowland got herself appointed to that Board as […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Anna Lynn Winfrey reports, Pueblo County Republicans were subjected treated to an appearance Saturday at a fundraising event by none other than Donald Trump, Jr. himself–who was kind enough at the request of Rep. Lauren Boebert to fill in at the last minute for another headliner who had to bail: “At […]
UPDATE: Statement from Rep. Brianna Titone of Arvada: “The decision by the Supreme Court undermines Colorado’s anti-discrimination protections, directly attacks the rights of LGBTQ Americans and allows businesses to deny services based on ‘First Amendment’ grounds to anyone due to their gender, race, religion, or who they love. The US Supreme Court has legalized discrimination […]
As readers know, the Colorado Republican Party is in the midst of what can best be described as an existential crisis under a controversial new chairman, former state Rep. Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, elected in March to replace outgoing chair Kristi Burton Brown after another historic landslide victory for Colorado Democrats in 2022. Since […]
UPDATE #2: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser: “Since the Civil Rights Era, the Supreme Court has consistently held that admission review processes, where race is one of many factors considered in admission decisions, could redress historical discrimination, ensure diverse learning environments, and help to create communities that reflect our highest ideals. Under this decision, the […]
We’re 18 months away from the next big election, which means it’s time again for partisan groups pretending to represent a “third option” for voters to crawl back out of the sewers. The ‘No Labels’ group has been getting a lot of press lately as it works to get a “Unity Ticket” candidate for President […]
Roughly 10 percent of Colorado households DO NOT currently have access to high-speed internet services. Fortunately, help is on the way. According to a press release from the office of Gov. Jared Polis, Colorado will soon be on the receiving end of more than $826 million dollars (and 41 cents) in federal money that will […]
“Thank God it’s Friday” is one of those mindless phrases that has been so overused that it’s almost embarrassing to utter the words anymore. That doesn’t mean it can’t still be an accurate expression, however – especially if your name is Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Boebert is no doubt relieved to see this week come to […]
(Saying the quiet part out loud again — Promoted by Colorado Pols) When it came to choosing which minor parties he wanted to negotiate with, Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams only had one question: would they “adversely affect the Republican nominee?” That criterion led to his much-discussed “deal” with the Libertarian Party, as well as […]
UPDATE #3: Here’s the entirety of the statement made by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who said, “We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone.” Smith said that Trump’s actions “put this country at risk.” Jack Smith: “Today, an indictment was unsealed, charging Donald J. Trump of felony violations of our […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Why is Colorado Politics Editor Luige del Puerto the only journalist featured at a giant gathering of conservatives in Denver? Del Puerto The director of Colorado Christian University’s Centennial Institute, which organizes the annual Western Conservative Summit, won’t say. And no Colorado journalists responded to a public tweet asking if they […]
As part of passing last week’s legislation to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a global economic catastrophe, members of the “House Freedom Caucus” were rolled over by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. We wondered what might be next for the Freedumb Caucus members after McCarthy called their bluff, but we couldn’t have predicted just how […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) continues to deal with the fallout of missing the most important Congressional vote of 2023 despite weeks of grandstanding and partisan rhetoric. In an effort to help figure out what Boebert was doing when she missed the key vote on June 1 and why she chose to change her story about her […]
SUNDAY UPDATE: Like we said, Rep. Lauren Boebert lied. And here’s the video that proves it. —– As the story was originally told, Rep. Lauren Boebert was running at the last minute to cast her promised vote against the debt ceiling increase legislation that was signed by President Joe Biden into law earlier today: Rep. […]
SATURDAY UPDATE: The press takes note of GOP chairman Dave Williams’ assault on his 2022 primary opponent: I’m not entirely sure what the empty “held accountable” threat means here. But it sure seems like new Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams is using his role to go after Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who beat him in […]

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: However the vote plays out later today, we’ll always have this meme-able moment: “It’s just a huge fail on our part.” If the internets are on the job, you’ll be seeing this everywhere. —– Congressperson Lauren Boebert is mad as hell, and she’s not going to take it anymore! Again. As readers of […]
An email we were forwarded by Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams yesterday assails the debt ceiling agreement reached over the holiday weekend between the White House and GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and lavishes praise upon Colorado’s two farthest-right Republicans in Congress, Reps. Lauren Boebert and Ken Buck, who have vowed to vote against the […]
The Colorado Springs Gazette’s O’Dell Isaac reports from Colorado College’s commencement ceremony Sunday, where commencement speaker former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming was met with a protest by a large percentage of graduating students who turned their backs to Cheney during her address: When Cheney was introduced — mostly to applause — about half […]
