The ongoing federal government shutdown will take its place as the longest in U.S. history this week, surpassing the 2018-19 shutdown (also under President Trump) that only ended after Trump caved on demands for Congress to fund a wall along the southern border. Americans have largely blamed Republicans for the shutdown since the beginning; those […]
Colorado’s leading high-budget Republican astroturf group, the Koch-funded Americans For Prosperity, is running an outreach campaign following the passage of President Donald Trump’s “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget bill–not trying to win over public opinion on this historically unpopular piece of legislation, but demanding that the Colorado legislature not convene a special session […]
New polling data from KFF makes it clear that President Trump’s “big beautiful bullshit bill” — what we have taken to calling the “We’re All Going to Die Act” — is about as beloved by Americans as genital warts. According to the latest health tracking poll from KFF (formerly the Kaiser Family Foundation): The “One […]
The Washington Post reports on the global news dominating the day today, the election in Vatican City of the first American Pope, Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo the 14th. Pope Leo replaces the recently deceased Pope Francis, whose political engagement on behalf of the poor, migrants, prisoners, and others at the bottom of the social […]
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 […]
As readers know, the marquee question on this year’s statewide election ballot is Proposition HH, a referred measure from the state legislature supported by Gov. Jared Polis to slow the increase on property taxes after an historic runup of home values in Colorado over the last few years. Proposition HH limits the pain for homeowners […]
The San Francisco Chronicle reported last night on a new study released by the University of California at Davis’ Violence Prevention Research Program, looking at the current attitudes of Americans with regard to political violence 18 months after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 that tried and failed to obstruct the […]
We’ve discussed gasoline prices quite a bit this month, either through our own fact checking or by speaking directly with actual experts. The short version of why gasoline is so expensive is this: Because oil and gas companies are making so much money already — and committed to stock buybacks and dividends for shareholders — […]
CBS News’ Kate Gibson reports: while American companies and institutional investors are divesting themselves from Russian holdings as fast as they can–even former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens resigned from the board of a Russian bank after a round of bad press–one big American corporation with an oversized political footprint is making a big deal of […]
New polling data released today by Quinnipiac University crystallizes the problem Republicans face in 2022 (and 2024). From a Quinnipiac press release: As candidates begin to enter races for the 2022 mid-term elections, more than 8 in 10 Republicans (85 percent) say they would prefer to see candidates running for elected office that mostly agree […]
Denver7’s Robert Garrison reports on the resolution passed this week by the all-GOP Douglas County Board of Commissioners, declaring with the combined weight of exactly zero medical or public health experience that “the pandemic is over”–and ordering DougCo to drop its defenses against COVID-19: Declaring that “this pandemic is over,” the Douglas County Board of […]
Having officially passed the tragic milestone of half a million Americans dead, we can say with certainty today that the COVID-19 pandemic was not a “psyop.” Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams got it wrong: “I’m going to rant just a bit,” wrote Reams on Facebook. “I understand that nobody wants to catch Coronavirus but statistically, […]
Politico reports on the latest turmoil over what was a done deal just a day ago, another round of economic relief to keep the sputtering economy going through what everyone hopes is the last winter of the COVID-19 pandemic: President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted the $900 billion coronavirus relief package passed by Congress, calling […]
Ballots in Colorado hit mailboxes last weekend, and while it’s too early to look at ballot return numbers in our state, anecdotally we’re hearing that plenty of people have already submitted their votes for 2020. Colorado has been voting mostly by mail since 2014, so early voting isn’t a new phenomenon. But around the country, […]
Indefatigable journalist Bob Woodward (yes, THAT Bob Woodward) is reporting ahead of the release of a new book that President Trump knew full well — from day one — about the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic BUT INTENTIONALLY DOWNPLAYED THE THREAT TO AMERICANS. As The Washington Post explains (we’re excerpting a bit more than we […]
For the fourth consecutive week, we are discussing on a Friday the failure of Senate Republicans to make any movement whatsoever on another coronavirus stimulus bill. As CNBC reports, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has adjourned the Senate for a month-long recess while the rest of America stares back dumbfounded: The Senate is officially adjourned […]
As The New York Times reports: President Trump is considering new immigration regulations that would allow border officials to temporarily block American citizens and legal permanent residents from returning to the United States from abroad if authorities believe they may be infected with the coronavirus. In recent months, Mr. Trump has imposed sweeping rules that […]
For the third consecutive week, we have a Friday story with the same headline…because it’s the same story. The U.S. Senate has left town — again — despite not coming anywhere close to figuring out a plausible path forward on a new coronavirus relief/stimulus bill. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday that the […]
UPDATE: As The Washington Post and POLITICO report, the White House is trading barbs with Democrats over whose fault it is that nothing is happening…which somehow overlooks the fact that the holdup is in the SENATE, which is controlled by Republicans. From WaPo: “We anticipate that we will have a bill, but we’re not there […]
The U.S. House of Representatives is in session today. The U.S. Senate…is not. The House passed a massive coronavirus relief package in May called the “Heroes Act.” The Senate has not taken up this legislation and has instead tried — and failed — to craft something of its own. Extended unemployment benefits passed by Congress […]
According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump’s strategy for managing the political fallout of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is now pretty rudimentary: The goal is to convince Americans that they can live with the virus — that schools should reopen, professional sports should return, a vaccine is likely to arrive by the end of […]
Political news this Sunday morning is dominated by a statement made by Donald Trump at least night’s re-election rally in Tulsa–a statement that, if true, could be the most damning admission ever made by a sitting American President: In a shocking admission during his Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally on Saturday night, President Donald Trump said he […]
One football stadium’s worth of dead Americans. As of today, COVID-19 has killed over 50,000 people, roughly as many as can fit into the football stadium at Air Force Academy. Think about that the next time you drive down I-25. Now imagine that instead of dying of a disease, these 50,000+ people were killed by […]
As Politico’s Maggie Severns reports–the most powerful “astroturf” conservative political group on the ground in Colorado, the nationwide Americans For Prosperity organization funded heavily by the Koch network of right-wing philanthropy, made a decision regarding the recent far-right protests demanding an immediate reopening of the U.S. economy during the COVID-19 pandemic that might surprise our […]
UPDATE: [Sigh] From CNN: Stocks finished a volatile trading day sharply in the red Friday, after a selloff driven by President Donald Trump’s response to new retaliatory tariffs from China and Fed policy. —– Fans of the classic movie, “The Princess Bride,” are well aware of the warning that you should “never get involved in a […]
