(Catshit crazy? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rumors of furry-identified students using litterboxes in public schools have been thoroughly debunked. But that has not stopped anti-LGBTQ activists in Colorado from repeating the claims in an attempt to stir up outrage. “A lot of children now are identifying as a cat or dog or an animal,” […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, a pledge offered by the Colorado Libertarian Party to Republican candidates as part of a deal brokered by Colorado GOP chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams to spare GOP candidates, or not depending on whether they sign, a Libertarian “spoiler” opponent, has resulted in […]
As expected, yesterday the Colorado Republican Party in the grip of self-dealing chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams delivered another controversial endorsement in a contested Republican primary, throwing the party’s nameplate support behind former state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks in a race that should be safely off the table in terms of […]
Last week, Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation appropriating additional funds for public school districts facing an influx of migrant students. Colorado Public Radio reports: The Colorado Department of Education will distribute approximately $24 million from the state education fund to school districts and charter schools that recently enrolled new immigrant students. A bipartisan group of […]
The big ballot news over the weekend was that Republican State Sen. Bob Gardner failed to collect enough valid petition signatures in CO-05, an outcome that significantly changes the math entering the final two months of the campaign. As Ernest Luning writes for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: State Sen. Bob Gardner […]
UPDATE: House Republicans appear to have already deleted the post from ‘X’ that we included below… —– The Colorado legislature is only required by the State Constitution to do one thing in every legislative session: Pass a budget for the state fiscal year that begins on July 1. There is no avoiding this duty for […]
Late last week, the mailer you see below from the notorious “no compromise” gun rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners landed in mailboxes across Senate District 12, the Colorado Springs-area seat being vacated by GOP CO-05 congressional candidate Sen. Bob Gardner. The mail piece in RMGO’s usual in-your-face style doesn’t mince words or images, with […]
The Colorado legislature is discussing several gun violence prevention (GVP) bills this session after passing a handful of important changes in 2023. We could point you toward polling data showing how the issue of gun violence has changed in Colorado since Colorado’s “no compromise” gun rights group, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO), helped lead a […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, yesterday afternoon ex-President Donald Trump repaid with interest–in political capital, not dollars of course–the support of a man his campaign once fired for incompetence, Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, with an endorsement in the CO-05 primary for Williams returning the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This week, the Colorado Title Board approved two ballot initiatives targeting transgender people in Colorado. “Public Athletic Programs for Minors,” which would require transgender athletes to compete according to their sex assigned at birth in school or intramural athletics, and “Prohibit Certain Medical Procedures for Minors,” which would ban gender-affirming care […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the United States Supreme Court voted unanimously to let Donald Trump appear on the Colorado ballot in 2024; Democrats and Republicans alike weep and rejoice in equal measure. Kevin McCarthy may have been the shortest-termed speaker in modern history, but MAGA Mike Johnson may go down as […]
Today is Aerospace Day at the Colorado State Capitol, and some of the major defense and space exploration companies with Colorado ties are in the building today handing out cool swag like the United Launch Alliance’s “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” keychains and general goodwill on behalf of the economically significant military-space-industrial complex. Not surprisingly, some left-leaning […]
Facing likely defeat in her home district as Rep. Lauren Boebert’s unique combination of headline-snatching personal scandal and professional indifference (at best) to the needs of her constituents, Boebert made the desperate decision in late December to switch from the Western Slope’s CO-03 to the substantially more conservative CO-04 seat being vacated by Rep. Ken […]
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 […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Republicans have managed to break both chambers of Congress as they refuse to not only accomplish their most basic constitutional obligations, but fail to accomplish even their real bad political objectives. Then, Gabe-ish Evans — the half-term state representative running for the GOP nomination to lose to […]
There may not be a wealth of choices on your ballot, but you’ll still get to cast a vote for the March 5 Presidential Primary in Colorado. Election officials began mailing ballots for the March 5 Primary this week. For more information on voter registration and ballot issues, go to GoVoteColorado.com.
(Failed upward by Colorado Pols) Janak Joshi, a former GOP legislator, announced his candidacy for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District late last month. He told Colorado Politics he hopes to stand out as a “conservative leader” — and he seems to have already won over some prominent far-right activists. “Janak Joshi has recently announced that he […]
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 […]
This just in from the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby, just days before her trial on a range of felony and other criminal counts related to the theft of election system data in her charge in a failed attempt to prove the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump, ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS reports on what looks like authentic pushback against the Colorado Republican Party’s support for indicted ex-Clerk Tina Peters, with dozens of Republicans not named Dave Williams slamming the move as an embrace of “alternate facts” too far: “Tina Peters is not a hero,” the open letter reads, in part. “We ask our […]
If you spend enough time following Jefferson County politics you’ll sooner or later run across Jeffco Republican Party chair “Nancy Pallozzi,” whose entire claim to fame appears to rest upon her phonetically similar name to the former Democratic Speaker of the House, and has been involved in a variety of low-level and generally unsuccessful political […]
The American economy is doing really, really, really well. The stock market keeps reaching new heights, with the S&P 500 hitting a new record five days in a row over a period that ended on Friday. We have the strongest GDP growth in the developed world; consumer spending keeps rising; gas prices keep falling; and inflation […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, a coalition of reproductive rights groups kicked off their petition campaign to place an amendment on this November’s ballot to permanently guarantee abortion rights in Colorado’s state constitution, along with removing old language prohibiting public funds being used for abortion care: Colorado already has strong abortion protections in place […]
At this time last year, the 2024 election cycle in Colorado was looking like it might be pretty uneventful. After all, 2024 won’t have a major statewide race on the ballot, and while it is a Presidential Election year, Colorado is such a solid-blue state in that regard that neither Democrats nor Republicans are going […]
Colorado Republicans have had trouble winning elections in Colorado for more than a decade, but the damage has dialed up exponentially in recent election cycles. Republican candidates have been absolutely throttled at the ballot box in every election since 2018, culminating in a 2022 cycle that one ousted lawmaker labeled an “extinction-level event.” You don’t […]
