The Supreme Court of the United States of America has been stuck in an ethical morass that continues to grow more problematic as more information becomes available. No other Supreme Court Justice epitomizes the corruption that is beginning to define SCOTUS more than Clarence Thomas, whose acceptance of lavish gifts and his blatant disregard for […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“I hope the media is not here, because we’re going to look terrible.” — State Rep. Anthony Hartsook (R-Douglas County), speaking at Saturday’s GOP Central Committee meeting.[/mantra-pullquote] Voting members of the Colorado Republican Party’s “central committee” met over the weekend and decided against opting out of a system that allows Unaffiliated […]
Recent polling from Monmouth suggests that roughly 30% of Americans still believe that the 2020 Presidential Election was fraudulent in some manner. You can probably guess the political makeup of that 30% (it’s all MAGA, baby!) On the flip side, almost 60% of Americans believe that Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump fair and square in 2020. […]
As The New York Times reports: Former President Donald J. Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges that he conspired to remain in office despite his 2020 election loss, appearing before a judge in a Washington courthouse in the shadow of the Capitol, where his supporters rampaged in an effort to undermine the peaceful […]
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, a Republican, has served in elected office since basically just after the dinosaurs went extinct. This year, Coffman is running for re-election AND pushing a ballot initiative that would give the next Aurora Mayor — which he hopes will be him — significantly more power. As we discussed in this space […]
We took note yesterday of an interview conducted by far-right pseudonews talking head Grant Stinchfield of Colorado’s foremost MAGA cheerleader Rep. Lauren Boebert following ex-President Donald Trump’s indictment on criminal charges related to the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to disrupt […]
UPDATE: An unrepentant Rep. Lauren Boebert defends the 2020 coup attempt in a new interview yesterday, reciting the same barely-coherent set of disproven talking points she used in the 2022 GOP primary (below)–and hopes the indictment leads to eventual Trumpian triumph: Constitutional scholar Lauren Boebert explains how Trump was legally justified trying to overturn the […]
UPDATE: Donald Trump’s Colorado co-conspirators loom large in today’s indictment: NEW: The Trump indictment’s “Co-Conspirator 2” appears to be John Eastman, the former CU visiting prof and newly-hired attorney for the @cologop. The description of Co-Conspirator 2’s actions mirrors testimony about Eastman’s role in trying to overthrow the election. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/R2IUkPtLbo — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) […]
Following the announcement yesterday afternoon that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will not relocate to Alabama from Colorado Springs after two years of politically-motivated uncertainty manufactured by former President Donald Trump, Trump’s most indefatigable diehard supporter in the state’s congressional delegation Rep. Lauren Boebert praised President Joe Biden’s decision to reverse Trump’s last-minute act of […]
The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake took stock late last week of a recent shift in Colorado’s arch-conservative Rep. Ken Buck’s rhetoric concerning the mounting legal tribulations of former President Donald Trump–less in the way of Buck’s former unquestioning, often contorted defense of Trump, transitioning to something like an acknowledgment that Trump is indeed in hot […]
Last week, Colorado’s nexus of narrow-minded nuttery Rep. Lauren Boebert earned another round of negative press after she brusquely tossed in the trash a pin memorializing one of the victims of the Ulvalde, Texas school shooting given to her by a gun safety activist. Support for gun rights isn’t supposed to automatically translate to hostility […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“Can you imagine how mad we’d be at Shad [Murib, the Chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party] if he were attacking sitting Democrats? I would be furious with Shad. I’d be like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’” — Gov. Jared Polis on State Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams (via the […]
The 2022 Republican nominee for governor of Colorado, Heidi Ganahl, has been working to re-establish her brand after losing to Gov. Jared Polis by almost 20 points last year in what’s generally considered to be one of the worst statewide campaign in the state’s history. Last spring, Ganahl re-launched the podcast she used as a thinly-pretensed […]

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. As Joe Rubino reports for The Denver Post: In his inaugural address, Johnston started by running […]
(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 […]
