The Republican tax plan has a whole lot of problems.

(It wouldn’t be Christmas without a “War on Christmas”- Promoted by Colorado Pols) Why did State Sen. Laura Woods (R-Arvada) share a recent Facebook post asking, “Remember when Americans could say ‘Merry Christmas’ without getting viciously attacked?” What reality is she in?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I spoke last week with the radio duo of yore, Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman, who were co-hosting Dan Caplis' KNUS show.
