Newsweek reports on legislation introduced by Pennsylvania state Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, who has come to the conclusion that the COVID-19 pandemic is God’s punishment of…well, America predominately we guess, even though most of the people infected with COVID-19 are not in America? Like most such findings of spiritual as opposed to, you know, reality-based fault […]
In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Michigan, where a Republican State Senator is facing multiple accusations of sexual harassment…including one instance that was particularly ill-timed.

One of our longest-running features here at Colorado Pols is something we like to call, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” This week, we take you to New Jersey, where a local mayor (quite literally) got caught with his pants down. From the New York Post: A New Jersey mayor has apologized after getting so […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Gov. Jared Polis responds: Our nearby states have set a bizarre low bar with their outreach mottos. South Dakota has launched a “Meth-we’re on it” (anti?) drug campaign, and Nebraska has launched a “Nebraska: Honestly, it’s not for everyone” toursim(?) campaign. What should Colorado’s response be? — Jared Polis (@jaredpolis) November 19, 2019 […]
In Colorado politics, one of the seminal faux pas a candidate can commit is using a scenic photo of a mountain range that turns out to not be located in the state of Colorado. Various locations from Alaska’s Denali to the Canadian Rockies, not to mention a Utah canyonscape or two, have embarrassingly stood in […]
As the Raleigh News & Observer reports, North Carolina House Republicans pulled a fast one today while many Democrats were away from the chambers commemorating the 9/11 terrorist attacks–using the absence of most of the Democratic minority to jam through an override of Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the GOP-controlled legislature’s budget. It’s the latest […]
In another edition of our long-running feature, “At Least They’re Not Your Elected Official,” we take you the halls of Congress (via Pennsylvania), where one Republican Congressman is trying out some new talking points on racism in politics. As CNN reports: A white Republican congressman said Tuesday that he isn’t offended by President Donald Trump’s […]
SATURDAY UPDATE: Escalating quickly, as Reuters reports: Oregon’s State Capitol building was shut down on Saturday as a safety precaution, police said, in the wake of a bitter partisan divide that had Republican lawmakers walked out to block a vote on a bill to reduce climate change-causing gases… Some right-wing militia groups have expressed support […]
CBS4 reports on a bizarre care involving longtime local Republican attorney Robert Corry, who played a disputed role in the authoring and passage of 2012’s Amendment 64 legalizing recreational marijuana–but has proven his own worst enemy in terms of self-sabotaging craziness wrecking his attempts to join the political mainstream: The attorney for the truck driver […]
In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Washington D.C., where HUD Secretary and all-around weirdo Ben Carson might like a cookie. Carson appeared Tuesday in front of the House Financial Services Committee and had a bit of trouble with some real estate terminology, as Politico reports: [Rep. Katie […]
Shannon Watts of the gun violence prevention group Moms Demand Action Tweets from a New Hampshire legislative committee hearing today: Male New Hampshire lawmakers on the hearing committee wearing pearls to mock @MomsDemand volunteers and gun safety advocates. #NHPolitics pic.twitter.com/rc1S3Bj9lG — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) March 5, 2019 Don’t you get the joke? Moms (meaning women) clutch […]
In another edition of a long-running series we like to call, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to (of course) Florida. It seems that the Mayor of Port Richey is not only a quack doctor, but a quack doctor with an itchy trigger finger. From ABC Action News in Tampa Bay: Port […]
Former State Senator Laura Waters Woods was always a difficult problem for Republicans. Woods is nuttier than a bag of trail mix, but she played an important role for the GOP in the 2013 recall attempt of Sen. Evie Hudak (D-Arvada) that ultimately resulted in Hudak’s resignation. Woods used that recall organizing effort to get […]
Here’s a really unfortunate photo op featuring Bill Schuette (pronounced Shoot-EE), the Republican candidate for Governor in Michigan: Rep. Tom Cochran, a former chief of the Lansing Fire Department, sent out a statement slamming Bill @SchuetteOnDuty for this photo taken in front of a burning building. “When first responders like firefighters are distracted it puts the […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: As the Denver Post reports, HD-12 GOP nominee David Reid Ross has decided to, as they say, spend more time with his family. A Republican running for the Colorado House has dropped out after his personal alt-right blog became public knowledge… Ross told The Denver Post he submitted his withdrawal paperwork to the Secretary […]
Welcome back to our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” For today’s, uh, episode, we take you to Florida, where Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan is getting hammered for what appears to be an egregious example of a “loan-to-play” agreement. From the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting: U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Sarasota), who sits […]
SATURDAY UPDATE: Denver7 apparently covered the rally live via Facebook on Saturday. It was about as well-attended as you might have guessed. —– We’re not sure why this is news, but we got a kick out of this story from Oscar Contreras at Denver7: A group of northern Colorado residents will take to the streets […]
It’s time for another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” Today, we visit South Dakota and the Rapid City Journal: How did the South Dakota Teen Age Republicans end up hosting a woman at their 2015 camp who was later accused of being an unregistered foreign agent for Russia? Quite […]
Residents of Fountain, Colorado are being told that they can once again use groundwater that was contaminated by firefighting chemicals two years ago, though the safety of the water from the Widefield Aquifer is still under debate. Congressman Doug Lamborn’s office was promoting a “Safe Drinking Water Ceremony” on Wednesday to mark this event, and we […]
In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Virginia…where things are pretty gross.

He is also a pedophile, as he admitted to HuffPost […]
Mother Jones’ Pema Levy reports on the Republican gubernatorial primary in the state of Georgia–a race setting new and unsettling precedent for its open appeals to racism, and even vigilante violence against undocumented immigrants: The Republican gubernatorial primary in Georgia has devolved in recent weeks into a chest-thumping argument over which candidate hates undocumented immigrants […]
Better Wyoming brings us the story of some rather ghoulish legislation proposed in that state’s legislature by one Sen Brian Boner (R-Douglas): The Wyoming State Legislature just can’t resist the urge to barge into doctors’ offices and tell physicians and their female patients what to do during the most private and vulnerable scenarios imaginable. A […]
Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 2018, and he’s apparently willing to say just about anything to gather support for his campaign. As CNN reports: “The sexual revolution has led to exploitation of women on a scale that we would never have imagined,” Josh Hawley said in a […]
Republican Courtland Sykes is running for U.S. Senate in Missouri. As Raw Story reports, Sykes is apparently unconcerned about appealing to female voters in his state: In a statement posted to Facebook on Tuesday, Sykes said that he had been asked if he “supports women’s rights.” “I want to come home to a home cooked dinner every […]
