WEDNESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark followed up yesterday evening with Rocky Mountain Gun Owners’ Kevin Lorusso, who stands by his suggestion to exclude young Black males from gun death statistics: Apparently you can contact Mr. Lorusso for an apology on a case-by-case basis, but we’re guessing it will contain the word “snowflake.” In the […]
We’re nearing one month into the 2023 session of the Colorado General Assembly, and I’m very excited about the ambitious slate of bold progressive legislation making its way through the process.

One of the most important priorities in this year’s session of the Colorado General Assembly is bringing down the cost of housing for Colorado’s working families.

With Republicans in narrow control of the U.S. House of Representatives, it’s widely expected that the next two years will feature a variety of retaliatory investigations into President Joe Biden–looking to balance the scales after Donald Trump’s unprecedented scofflaw presidency generated two impeachments, and more recently Trump’s long-concealed income tax returns showing that you probably […]

Although Colorado Republicans don’t have much to be proud of coming out of yet another disastrous election season in 2022, one piece of their political infrastructure Republicans appear to want to save is the so-called Common Sense Institute, an organization created to push conservative messaging with (hopefully) more credibility than the typecast old-school conservative “stink […]

I get these ballots waiting to be cured are important. Aggressively pursuing Voters, being rude, and calling relatives. Voters have the right to cure their ballot; they also have the right to not cure. One young voter told me she will never vote again. @annalynnfrey @johnmrod — Gilbert Ortiz (@Bochefus) November 15, 2022 As Denver7’s […]
The Republican Civil War in Colorado will not pause for elections. While candidates and volunteers were working hard on GOTV efforts this weekend, El Paso County Republicans were busy spending several hours yelling at each other about some other really dumb thing.

As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, a Denver district court judge has thrown a monkeywrench into the gears of the GOP’s revenge recall campaign against Sen. Kevin Priola of Adams County, ruling after weeks of effort that the campaign should have waited until the new district boundaries Sen. Priola is set to represent are […]
We’re several news cycles into Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s latest bout of race-derailing wackiness, determining that the best way to boost her sinking campaign is to open a new front against the peril of “furries”–claiming without any factual basis that a subculture of students “identifying as cats” are disrupting learning for kids across the state. After […]
