Then our neighbors to the north get rightfully pissed at American voters for putting this […]
Economic news continues to darken faster than JD Vance’s eyeliner. As CNN reports today: The Trump administration’s massive federal cuts and swelling feelings of economic uncertainty helped fuel a recession-level spike in layoff plans last month, new data showed Thursday. US-based employers last month announced plans to slash 172,017 jobs, a 103% increase from a […]
President Trump will deliver a joint address to Congress tonight in which he will likely lie his ass off about a whole bunch of topics. One subject he will have trouble avoiding is the increasingly-worrisome state of the economy. From The New York Times: Global stocks tumbled on Tuesday as investors’ concerns over the future […]
To the extent that the capacity for outrage still exists in Washington, D.C. today as Donald Trump’s second term leaves jaws agape on a fatiguingly continuous basis, the historic-in-a-bad-way meeting today between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump with Vice President J.D. Vance riding shotgun has once again left literally everyone in the world […]
Former Colorado State House Speaker Crisanta Duran has decided to seek the Democratic nomination for Attorney General in 2026. But as The Colorado Sun reports, she’s going to need to make a lot of new introductions: Duran hasn’t been in the political spotlight in Colorado for several years. She served as speaker from 2017 to […]
President Trump’s mass deportation promise has thus far not lived up to its fantastical billing, and Trump is reportedly growing upset about the “numbers” being reported back to the White House. As Reuters explains: President Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished U.S. Department of Homeland Security data show, […]
Colorado Democrats scheduled a noon rally today outside of the Northglenn office of Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Adams County), calling on the freshman Congressman to oppose the latest Republican budget proposal that would make at least $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid.

USA TODAY reports on the confirmation today of one of the most controversial of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees, former Democratic Rep.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium today to do the bidding of President Trump and/or Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the war in Ukraine. Hegseth made it clear that the new administration in the White House is not exactly pro-Ukraine. As NBC News reports: Hegseth said Wednesday that it is […]
For years Donald Trump has been ignoring many of the social and political norms that once existed in this country. Trump attacks everyone, spares no-one, spews misinformation at every opportunity, and ignores guardrails put in place to separate politics from government (such as holding his 2020 Presidential nomination speech on the White House lawn). But President […]
Democrats in the State Senate opened their legislative week by bringing to the floor a resolution condemning President Trump’s pardons of criminals involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection (which included 20 Coloradans). The discussion over SJR25-006 was fairly brief, with Sen. Nick Hinrichsen (D-Pueblo) delivering a speech in opposition to the pardons from his […]
I’ve seen just as many anti-Elon Musk signs as anti-Trump signs at this protest in Denver. @DenverChannel #copolitics pic.twitter.com/HPBabVWFPT — Brandon Richard (@BrandonLRichard) February 5, 2025 As the Denver Post’s political team Seth Klamann and Nick Coltrain report from the Colorado Capitol today, what’s being described by all accounts as an unexpectedly large crowd of […]
President Trump is tackling what Americans said was the most important issue of the 2024 election — inflation and the cost of groceries (including eggs) — with a laser focus! From The Associated Press: Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday designed to prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth from participating […]
As FOX 31 reports, if you’re a King Soopers or City Market grocery customer, it’s time to stock up before a two-week strike by the United Food and Commercial Workers bargaining for better pay and staffing levels in their stores kicks off Thursday morning: A letter from UFCW Local 7, a Colorado grocery store union, […]
Progress? Is that what this is? One year ago today, Republicans in the State House of Representatives made complete asses of themselves in their (annual) opposition to what is an (annual) resolution acknowledging Black History Month. The top clown in the House Republican Caucus — Colorado Springs Rep. Ken “Dildo” DeGraaf — even voted against the […]

Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) made headlines on Wednesday by verbally pummeling Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. during a confirmation hearing for the Trump nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Apparently, Bennet was just getting started. This morning Bennet was really riled up during a confirmation hearing for Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick […]
During President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and throughout his first administration, his top political adviser talked openly about what became known as his “flood the zone with shit” strategy.

One of the flurry of executive orders signed by newly sworn-in President Donald Trump yesterday was an order directly challenging the established interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which holds that any person born on American soil is an American citizen.

President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees have been sucking up most of the air out of the political room this week, particularly with the rambling nonsense from a clearly-unqualified Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense. Also making the rounds in the Senate this week is North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, once floated as a […]
If it is true, as former President John F. Kennedy once said, that “victory has a thousand fathers,” it looks like the MAGA movement is in for a long paternity battle. As Aaron Blake explains for The Washington Post: The MAGA movement has always been a loosely stitched-together confederation led by a man with relatively […]
As The New York Times reports: After months of delay, President-elect Donald J.

[…]
