In Rep. Gabe Evans’ official non-campaign “franked” newsletter to constituents this week, he left a bit of a puzzle for recipients to solve: I recently toured a new PMI facility in Aurora that is expected to bring significant job opportunities to our state. This facility alone is projected to create around 500 direct jobs and […]
As Jesse Paul reports for the Colorado Sun, yesterday all four Republican members of Colorado’s congressional delegation filed a motion to intervene in the Colorado Republican Party’s emergency request to exclude unaffiliated voters from the rapidly-approaching June 30th primary election…and not in support: U.S. Reps. Lauren Boebert of Windsor, Jeff Crank of Colorado Springs, Jeff […]
Republican State Reps. Ryan Gonzalez and Carlos Barron discussed a meaningless resolution on Monday honoring the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR) in Colorado. The resolution (HR26-1008) was killed in the House State, Civic, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee, but not before Gonzalez demonstrated that he actually has very little understanding of how TABOR actually works. […]
Readers of Colorado Pols are well aware that certain Republican lawmakers are the political gift that keeps on taking from the GOP. The leaders of this stupid clubhouse, Colorado Springs Representatives Scott “Rock” Bottoms and Ken “Dildo” DeGraaf, delight in making absurd comments that absolutely cause more harm than good for Colorado Republicans. That trend […]
What a difference a few months can make. In November, Aurora voters resoundingly tossed out a bunch of needlessly-vicious Republican city council members, ending six years of “conservative” control of Colorado’s third-largest city. Led by right-wing blowhard Danielle Jurinsky — who quickly overshadowed GOP Mayor and former Congressman Mike Coffman — Aurora’s city business was […]
As Jesse Paul reports for the Colorado Sun, lawyers for the Colorado Republican Party who prevailed in federal court at the beginning of the month in their legal challenge against Colorado’s Proposition 108, the measure passed by voters allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in either party’s primary elections, are now seeking an emergency injunction to […]
President Trump’s approval ratings reach a new low seemingly every week. Democrats are widely expected to take back control of the House of Representatives in November. In races large and small, Democrats have flipped every single competitive election in the country since Trump was re-elected in 2024, often by eyebrow-raising margins. And yet…even the most […]
(Stopped clock and so forth — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Between a liberal media ecosystem she claims is biased against Republicans, Democrats’ fundraising machine, and rising anti-Trump sentiment nationwide, Heidi Ganahl says Colorado’s GOP needs a “small miracle” to win even one statewide race this year. “I’m going […]
We’ve been sounding the alarm since last August about a proposal by conservative television giant Nexstar Media Group to purchase Tegna, which would imperil the very existence of the Denver Metro area’s most popular news station for the last 50 years. Tegna owns 64 local news stations across the United States, including 9News in Colorado. […]
Back in February, Rep. Gabe Evans was in the mood to celebrate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics had just reported that year-over-year inflation came in at 2.4%, its lowest level in five years. Republicans in Congress rushed to take a victory lap, and Evans was among them. On Twitter, Evans crowed that thanks to House […]
We’ve talked at length in this space about the danger to rural hospitals resulting from President Trump’s “big beautiful bullshit bill” last July. The bill is coming due, and it’s bad news for Coloradans and politicians such as Rep. Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) who made a lot of half-assed promises about protecting rural […]
UPDATE: From the “You can’t make this up” department, we were reminded that the Independent Institute is one of the main drivers of a 2026 ballot measure designed to…increase transparency in government. —– After much nonsense and time-wasting from House Republicans, the lower chamber in the state legislature is finished with its part of the […]
The 2022 Republican state assembly was an epic disaster for the Colorado GOP, producing a slate of bonkers candidates that presaged a General Election in which Republicans lost EVERY statewide race by double-digit margins. On Saturday, Colorado Republicans convened in Pueblo and said “Hold my beer,” somehow producing a candidate slate that might actually be […]
Veteran Colorado reporter Susan Greene, now working for the UK Daily Mail who recently reported on Rep. Lauren Boebert following the Kid Rock tour with the tab paid by campaign cash, has an update on the wild and rapid public deconstruction of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary, South Dakota governor, and puppy slayer Kristi […]
As The New York Times (and every other news outlet) reports today, inflation is rocketing upward at levels we haven’t seen in four years: The Consumer Price Index report showed that inflation jumped to 3.3 percent compared with the same time last year, almost a full percentage point increase from February’s annual pace. Overall prices […]
There has been a lot of ink spilled (er, digitized) in the last day about new polling numbers from the Colorado Polling Institute showing that Colorado voters are feeling pretty glum about whatever subject that comes up. As Nick Coltrain explains for The Denver Post: Coloradans’ opinions on the state’s political leaders and on the economy […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Democrats are UP and Pam Bondi is out as the “America Last” President fires yet another member of his cabinet — one that friend of the pod Joe Neguse also took to task, earning him the new nickname, THE CABINETSLAYER. Then Donald Trump, the peace president who was going to eliminate the […]
Today is (special) Election Day in Lakewood, Colorado’s fifth-largest city, and the results could have a significant impact on affordable housing efforts throughout the state. But before we get into that sort of speculation, let’s back up to examine what’s at stake in Lakewood. As Marshall Zelinger reports for 9News: Lakewood voters have a special election […]
As the Washington Post reports, and if you’re not reading it there you can check with any news outlet literally in the world: Twelve hours before his deadline for Iran to accept his deal or face destruction, President Donald Trump issued the country a grave warning, saying “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to […]
March 31 was the final day of the first fundraising quarter of 2026. Campaigns aren’t required to disclose their fundraising numbers until April 15, but some are already making their quarterly haul public. Until the official numbers are reported, we’ll keep a running list here that we’ll update as we see new totals announced. The […]
As Huffpost reports, she might not be the most effective lawmaker in Colorado history, but tempestuous teapot of texting Rep. Lauren Boebert knows how to snark: Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) appeared to mock Pam Bondi in the aftermath of President Donald Trump firing her as attorney general. Boebert has long been a critic of the […]
In case you missed it during your Easter celebration, President Trump on Sunday escalated his rhetoric on the Iran War to include profanity and threats of war crimes: As The New York Times reports, Trump’s unhinged ranting is unprecedented — and likely to backfire on the United States: No other recent American president has talked […]
It has been more than a year since the Trump administration began its widespread immigration crackdown, promising the largest deportation campaign in American history. Trump’s deportation push was billed as a necessary action in order to remove undocumented immigrant criminals who were causing some sort of invented havoc across the country — with Aurora, Colorado […]
President Trump on Wednesday delivered a rambling prime time address about the Iran War that left more questions than answers about everything from the purpose of the conflict to when American attacks might conclude. Tom Nichols of The Atlantic later assessed Trump’s confounding remarks in a commentary titled, “Maybe Trump Should Not Have Given This […]
As Sean Beedle reported for the Colorado Times Recorder on Monday, America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans’ blame game over the record-setting shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security was fully derailed by events that left Republicans holding the political bag, and Evans seething at his Republican colleagues in the Senate for “caving” to […]
