As CNN reports–for a party that considers itself the defenders of American sovereignty against evil foreign influences on all sides, the Republican Party sure seems to wind up doing the bidding of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service an awful lot. We’re not talking today about the 2016 presidential elections, in which Russian intelligence played a […]

On Tuesday, The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby broke the news that indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ trial set to begin Friday would be delayed until this summer after Peters abruptly fired her second set of attorneys. Since Peters’ indictment on a range of felony and misconduct charges stemming from her failed attempt […]
If you had spent any time at all trying to think up something that would make the 2024 election cycle for Colorado Republicans even more bizarre, this is probably what you would have come up with… As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: Doug Bruce, the author of Colorado’s […]
Nine Republican candidates seeking the open seat in CO-04 being vacated by the retirement of Rep. Ken Buck participated in a candidate forum on Thursday evening sponsored by the “Women of Weld” (WOW). You can watch the entire 90-minute debate on Facebook, or keep reading for one of our infamous “Debate Diaries.” In the […]
When House Minority Leader Mike Lynch announced earlier this month that he would be running for Congress in CO-04 but would NOT be stepping down from his leadership role in the GOP caucus, we thought this was a pretty poor decision. When Lynch previewed the 2024 legislative session by promising to continue the Republican strategy […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports today, the Republican commissioners por vida in Rep. Lauren Boebert’s longtime residence of Garfield County, Tom Jankovsky, John Martin, and Mike Samson, are all conspicuously staying out of the upcoming GOP primary for Boebert’s congressional seat: None of the three commissioners in the home county of Boebert, […]

The Colorado Republican Party today not only announced its censure of state Sen. Larry Liston (R-Colo Springs), but called on him to resign immediately. The censure addresses his filing of a criminal complaint against the husband the El Paso County party chair Vickie Tonkins, following an altercation between them at a county party meeting […]
What do you need to know about new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson? Well, we’ll tell you in a moment. But there’s a shorter version of this answer: Congressperson Lauren Boebert is a YUGE fan of the four-term Republican from Louisiana. Boebert, in fact, stood literally right next to Johnson during his first press […]
We’re taking a break from wondering if Congress will ever again function normally in order to point you to some absolutely breathtaking corruption currently taking place in one Colorado Springs school district. We haven’t seen any other reporting on this story, but we absolutely should; this is one of those tales that needs to be […]
Jeff Hurd is not Lauren Boebert. That’s been the crux of the Grand Junction Republican’s campaign for Congress in CO-03 thus far, and it’s not an ineffective message given Boebert’s uncanny ability to do and say the wrong thing at virtually every opportunity. The August #Beetlebert scandal, in which Boebert was kicked out of a […]
“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.” — Ian Fleming in Goldfinger As we noted on Friday, Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) had a really tough week that ended with news that Mesa County Commissioner Bobbie Daniel was joining fellow Commissioner Cody Davis in publicly endorsing […]
As CNN reports today, the jockeying to succeed ousted Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy intensified over the weekend, and although two hard-right conservative Republican Reps. Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan are formally competing there’s no guarantee that either one will be able to win a majority vote: House Republicans remain badly divided over […]
UPDATE #2: The Denver Post’s Megan Schrader tracked down one of the theatergoers affected by Rep. Lauren Boebert’s bad behavior leading to Boebert getting escorted out of the Buell Theater in Denver Sunday night. You’ve got to read this to believe it: “These people in front of us were outrageous. I’ve never seen anyone act […]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, September 12, 2023 CONTACT: Sara Loflin, Executive Director at sara@progressnowcolorado.org DENVER: Responding to plans by far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert to bring Rep.

(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 […]
(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.

(A must-read — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Vince Bzdek, the editor of the Colorado Springs Gazette, had already forced Megan Schrader to lower her ethical bar — as a journalist — well below her comfort level. Her months-long investigation of Republican Senate candidate Robert Blaha had been, as she tells it, gutted by Bzdek at […]

(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 […]
(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Quentin Young, Colorado Newsline July 13, 2023 The Colorado secretary of state declined to say whether she will grant ballot access to former President Donald Trump, who is running for president in 2024. “We are going to officially decline to comment at this time,” Annie Orloff, […]
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 […]
(Always. The. Republican. — Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Shannon Tyler, Colorado Newsline June 21, 2023 Six individuals are accused of forging voter signatures in an attempt to get a congressional candidate on the Republican primary ballot in Colorado’s 7th District last year.
