The other side thinks you’re getting “too much help.” Americans have been waiting for months now for Senate Republicans to take action on another badly needed economic stimulus bill to keep the country going as the battle against the COVID-19 […]
Trigger warning: this video depicts another violent attack in Colorado on Black Lives Matter protesters. UPDATE #2: The Denver Post’s Shelly Bradbury confirms three arrests and one citation issued by police: A video livestreamed on the Facebook page for a far-right Colorado podcast shows members of the pro-law enforcement crowd walking toward counter protesters in […]
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 […]
Today we continue our long-running series, At Least They’re Not Your Legislator, with two tales of troubled elected officials around the country. We’ll start in Leelanau County, Michigan, where Road Commissioner Tom Eckerle is absolutely not apologizing for being a racist kook. As Interlochen Public Radio reports: Eckerle is facing backlash after saying the racial […]
We thought we would know who Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden would choose as a running mate by now, but the process has continued longer than expected. The Democratic National Convention — or whatever takes its place — is 11 days away, so it will probably be before then (probably). Some reports have indicated that […]
We wrote just over two weeks ago about a video clip we were forwarded (above) of an apparent attack by right-wing “counter-protesters” in Teller County on a “car caravan” protest against the county’s controversial agreement with federal immigration authorities to house immigration detainees in their relatively remote county jail. The video you can see above […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) One funny side effect of congressional candidate Lauren Boebert’s rise to fame is that she makes other Republican Party candidates in Colorado look awful–at least in the eyes of conservative hardliners who must vote nonstop if Cory Gardner has a prayer to win in November. Don’t take it from me. Hear […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A Three Percenter militia Facebook page that appears to be run by Libertarian statehouse candidate Nathan Foutch posted threats against retired Army Lt. Colonel John Foley, who is also running for a statehouse seat (as a Democrat) in El Paso County. In a June 18 Facebook post, Foley objected to members […]
Yesterday evening, President Donald Trump sent out an appeal to his email fundraising list, which plenty of Democrats subscribe to just to read the increasingly colorful pitches coming from the embattled President’s campaign–but this time, not requesting funds. This was a request by President Trump for his supporters to wear face masks. You know, that […]

After Cory Gardner promised that unemployment benefits would be extended, today hundreds of thousands of Coloradans still don’t know how they’re going to make ends meet. In Washington, Sen. Cory Gardner and Republicans in Washington can’t even agree among themselves on what to offer Democrats, let alone make […]
CNN reports on what could be rightly considered an inevitable development as we close in on three months before the fateful 2020 presidential election–GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has given the signal that vulnerable Republican Senators up for re-election in November alongside an imploding President Donald Trump can, if they determine it is politically […]
As anyone who has driven through downtown Denver in the last two months knows, the weeks of protests against police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis have resulted in a significant amount of as-yet unrepaired property damage to public buildings and monuments. Statues with connections to atrocity and other […]
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 […]
A press release today from a coalition of local environmental organizations celebrates the failure of a legal challenge by always cantankerous Weld County, against new air quality rules adopted in the wake of 2019’s landmark Senate Bill 19-181 reform of oil and gas drilling to favor public health over drill baby drill: Denver District Court […]
Jake Sherman reports for Politico: Rep. Louie Gohmert — a Texas Republican who has been walking around the Capitol without a mask — has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to multiple sources. Gohmert was scheduled to fly to Texas on Wednesday morning with President Donald Trump and tested positive in a pre-screen at the […]
The initial topic of the interview was Malkin’s headlining of the July 20 “Back the Blue” pro-police rally in Denver’s Civic Center Park, along with statehouse Republican Leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock. Event attendees were met by a much larger group of counter-protesters. Despite a substantial police presence, several small fights broke out. In […]
Senate Republicans finally unveiled some semblance of a plan for coronavirus relief legislation on Monday, 10 weeks after the House of Representatives approved a plan that has been gathering dust while the GOP enjoys a second bowl of crab bisque. The Republican plan appears to be going absolutely nowhere, however, and on Wednesday President Trump […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) 2009 – Obama is inaugurated (to a sizeable live crowd) and had a D Senate and House. D Senate for 15 or 16 months, D house until January 2011. He chose healthcare and passed the ACA. He had other big accomplishments. But ACA was the thing that he did with that […]

The CARES Act unemployment benefits expired because Republicans in the U.S. Senate couldn’t come to an agreement. Sen. Cory Gardner’s failure to break the gridlock in his own party has plunged […]
Democrat Dave Young defeated Republican Brian Watson in 2018 in the race for State Treasurer. What looked initially like a close race ended up with Young defeating Watson by a seven-point margin, so perhaps Colorado was never that close to ending up with Watson in charge of the state’s finances. But we came close enough to […]
This morning, America’s Princess™ Ivanka Trump was joined for a campaign stop in Greenwood Village (yes, that Greenwood Village) by Colorado’s own Sen. Cory Gardner, the most vulnerable Republican U.S. Senator up for re-election in 2020, and a tour of a local day care center. An appearance by Gardner in Colorado for any reason is […]
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 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Monday is the three-year anniversary of perhaps the most famous thumb-down moment in American history. That would be the day that the downward-pointing thumb of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain saved Obamacare from dying at the hands of his fellow Republicans. One of those Republicans who was watching McCain’s thumb […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, the march to passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, which passed the U.S. Senate with wide bipartisan support and Sen. Cory Gardner’s earnest election-year blessing, went a little sideways yesterday after all of Colorado’s Republican members of Congress voted against the bill: Republican Reps. Ken Buck, Doug […]
Trigger warning, this video is violence pretty much from beginning to end. This is video shared with us today of an alleged attack in Teller County last Friday on a protest caravan demonstrating against Teller’s controversial policy of providing active assistance to federal immigration authorities. According to the group Abolish ICE Denver in a Facebook post […]
