As the Washington Post reported yesterday, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who came to be loved more by Democrats than his own party after turning vociferously against Donald Trump’s supervillain presidency, will not run for re-election in 2024: Romney, elected to the Senate in 2018 with 63 percent of the vote, said he will serve […]

As the legal campaign seeking accountability over the attempt by ex-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 presidential election has advanced to the criminal justice phase in the last few months, we’ve spent most of our time in this space discussing two lawyers with local ties involved in the plot who are now facing felony […]
President Biden issued a A Proclamation on Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance for today, marking the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Governor Jared Polis ordered all flags to be lowered to half-staff today in memoriam of those who lost their lives that day. Let’s Get More Smarter. If you think we […]
New polling data from CNN/SSRS was released on Thursday that made headlines largely because it showed significant vulnerabilities for President Biden, including a topline finding that Biden and former President Donald Trump are running neck-and-neck in a hypothetical 2024 rematch. Analysis from ABC News, for example, exclaimed that CNN’s new polling was “nothing but bad […]
Earlier this week, GOP Rep. Ken Buck set off a political firestorm when he responded in smackdown-laying detail to a falsehood-ridden letter sent from the Colorado Republican Party urging lawmakers to make the plight of January 6th, 2021 insurrection “political prisoners” a “top priority.” The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain: Buck, a former chair of the […]

(Updated Tuesday with must-read response from Rep. Ken Buck — Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Congressman Ken Buck has responded to Todd Watkins’ call for Colorado Republicans to support the Jan. 6 prisoners. In a letter of his own dated Sept. 1, Buck points out multiple incorrect assertions and calls on Watkins to […]
Readers will recall a brief but heated dispute in Pueblo last November over a proposed municipal ordinance to ban abortion within city limits, the work product of an itinerant Texas-based anti-abortion pitchman named Mark Lee Dickson. Dickson, a self-professed “36-year-old virgin” who proudly admits to having been present at the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at […]
UPDATE: As Erik Maulbetsch reports for the Colorado Times Recorder, the Colorado Republican Party is pushing its people to sign a pledge in support of the “January 6 prisoners.” Trump’s message has definitely been received. —– [mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“These are incredible Colorado patriots, that’s for sure.” — Donald Trump in a video naming El […]
As former President Donald Trump and his 18 alleged co-conspirators in the plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia turned themselves in for booking last week at Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail, Colorado’s arch-conservative Freedom Caucus member Rep. Ken Buck appeared Thursday on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell to…it’s not a misprint, […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark with an interesting take on the DougCo PrideFest protesters, noting that they’re meddling in other people’s parenting just like they accuse the government of doing: —– Denver7’s Micah Smith reports on an ugly but predictable episode Saturday afternoon at the scene of conservative exurban Douglas County’s PrideFest celebration–an event that went […]
The Colorado Republican Party has a very specific list of responsibilities for the State Republican Party Chairman, which include things like making a budget and hiring staff members. The bylaws of the State Republican Central Committee don’t explicitly include that the GOP Chair’s primary job is to help Republican candidates win elections, but this is […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dan Caplis is a serious lawyer, or so he says. So serious, in fact, that he’s trademarked the phrase, “a serious firm for serious cases.” Jenna Ellis is not a serious lawyer, but she has been charged with serious crimes. She also admitted, in her formal censure by Colorado’s Office of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In another spectacularly UnAmerican decision, the board of trustees Gov. DeSantis appointed to oversee New College, the small public liberal arts college, in Sarasota, Florida, has decreed that students involved in orientation are prohibited from wearing LGBTQIA lapel pins or other symbols that show support for that community. In other words, […]
Last night, a group of would-be Republican presidential candidates held a debate in Milwaukee, an event most notable for the absence of the far-and-away frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination ex-President Donald Trump. The eight candidates who appeared are all mired in a single-digit pack after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failure to thrive, with at […]
The so-called “alliance” between the Colorado Republican Party and the Colorado Libertarian Party gets more bizarre each week. As we noted earlier this month, the Colorado Libertarian Party (LPCO) now has a questionnaire for both Federal and State level candidates in 2024 who are seeking the group’s support. That support theoretically includes a promise from […]
(Throwing crazy money after bad — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ex-Trump attorney turned far-right radio host Jenna Ellis has raised over $100,000 for her legal defense. Her top donors include fellow election-denying talk show hosts as well as other MAGA Republicans. Charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy related to attempting to overturn the 2020 […]
As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, former University of Colorado visiting conservative scholar and current attorney representing the Colorado Republican Party John Eastman reported to Fulton County Jail today for booking on his range of Georgia felony charges related to the strategy allegedly masterminded by Eastman to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election: […]
(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Sara Wilson, Colorado Newsline The Colorado Medical Board decided Thursday that a so-called abortion reversal method is outside the “generally accepted standard of practice.” The board did not go so far as to declare the method unprofessional conduct, as Democrats in the state Legislature hoped for. […]
Former President Donald Trump already held the record of being the first current or former U.S. President to be indicted for a crime. Trump has probably now put that record forever out of reach after Monday’s big indictment in Georgia marked his FOURTH in just the last four months. Yet as Peter Baker explains for […]
As we noted in this space in June, Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams is trying to build an “alliance” with the Colorado Libertarian Party in an effort to prevent Libertarian candidates becoming “spoilers” in races that Republicans think they might otherwise be able to win. But in creating this alliance, Williams may also be […]
The Durango Herald’s Reuben Schafir reports on far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert’s August recess tour through La Plata County on Wednesday, sitting down with local officials to discuss issues pertinent to Boebert’s constituents in the southwest corner of the state. High on the list was the ever-present issue of wildfire prevention and management, laying heavily on […]
Many high-profile Republicans have publicly defended former President Donald Trump following his third — and perhaps most important — indictment related to his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election. Folks such as Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have made ridiculous arguments, alleging that Trump didn’t do anything […]
Heather Willard at NewsBreak reports: United States Attorney General Merrick Garland visited the Castle Rock Police Department on Aug. 7 after speaking to the American Bar Association in Denver.
