As FOX 31’s Jacob Factor reports, now that the government has re-opened without a deal to prevent massive health insurance premium hikes mandated by the Republican “We’re All Going To Die” budget bill passed this summer, House Democrats are loading up a discharge petition to force a House vote on extending the premium subsidies like […]
Colorado Public Radio’s health policy reporter John Daley with the latest way the Trump administration is looking to undo crucial protections you enjoy not only as an American, but as a Coloradan–an example of the convenient flexibility of the Tenth Amendment for Republicans when it stands athwart well-monied special interests: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau […]
As 9NEWS’ Jaleesa Irizarry reports, now that the federal government has re-opened without a deal to extend the health insurance premium tax credits that make coverage affordable for millions of Americans, negotiations over such an extension which in theory has enough bipartisan support to easily pass are getting underway. With Republicans aware they now have […]
Denver7’s Dan Grossman reports on a new proposal from the Trump administration that they claim is intended to alleviate the nationwide housing affordability crisis in which our state is unfortunately a leading indicator. But the solution Trump is proposing sounds like heartbreaking news for everyone except mortgage lenders: The Trump administration is working on a […]
In Donald Trump’s first Presidential administration, he was often mocked for regularly claiming that the White House was two weeks away from unveiling a health care plan that would be cheaper and more effective and better tasting than the Affordable Care Act (ACA). During the 2024 Presidential election, Trump took that idea to a new […]
As the Washington Post reports, and if you’re plugged into political news at all you’ve most likely already formed a strong opinion about: Seven Democrats and an independent senator who caucuses with them split with their party to vote for a deal that would pave the way to ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. […]
As 9NEWS reported last night, President Donald Trump’s refusal to fund SNAP food assistance benefits during the ongoing shutdown of the federal government, despite lower court orders to do so and initial moves the U.S. Department of Agriculture to comply with those rulings, was temporarily upheld by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson through […]
The federal government shutdown is now officially the longest in U.S. history (surpassing the 2018-19 shutdown also under President Trump’s watch). After Tuesday’s massive election victories, Democrats have new reason to stick to their shutdown narrative about holding the line until Affordable Care Act subsidies are renewed. Republicans, meanwhile, have a new set of terrible […]
Whoa. No, seriously: WHOA! It would be hard to overstate how bigly Democrats won on Tuesday, both here in Colorado and throughout the country, but we’re going to try! The 2025 election was a MASSIVE repudiation of all things MAGA and Donald Trump that should send shivers down the spine of every Republican running for […]

31 days and counting into the shutdown of the federal government that began and continues with a standoff over funding for health insurance premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act that millions of Americans rely on to afford their coverage, the mission for Democrats today is to stay focused on this crucial objective while the […]
The federal government shutdown is already the second-longest in U.S. history. It appears almost certain that we will shatter the 2018-19 record of 34 days before Republicans and President Trump finally realize that the majority of Americans blame them for shuttering government services and doubling their health insurance premiums. As The Hill newspaper reports, reality is […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, President Donald Trump has bestowed his blessing on freshman GOP Rep.

The sticker shock on 2026 health insurance costs has arrived, and it’s a doozy.

In honor of President Donald Trump’s controversial teardown of […]
The Colorado Libertarian Party is dead. Long live the Colorado Libertarian Party. As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post, the CLP’s weird quasi-alliance with the Colorado Republican Party that led to a strange “Libertarian Pledge” is now a thing of the past: Two weeks ago, the leadership of the Libertarian Party of Colorado sued […]

As AP’s Josh Funk and Sara Raza report, President Donald Trump’s latest idea to prop up his friend and ideological touchstone President Javier Milei of Argentina, following a $20 billion bailout of Milei’s controversial economic experimentation, is facing hard pushback from Trump’s usual friends in the beef industry–also known as the state of Colorado’s biggest […]
