As Vox.com solemnly reports: In the three months since the first reports of a US Covid-19 death on February 29 in Washington state, the death toll has reached six figures, according to the New York Times’s count. An unprecedented nationwide lockdown, with almost every state issuing a stay-at-home order and all of them placing restrictions on public activities, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Lots of people had theories on why U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner decided not to take part in a debate on 9News prior to November’s election, but House Republican leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock got the inside scoop from Gardner himself. “[Gardner] told me…. He was like, “‘Yeah, I don’t talk […]

When lawmakers adjourned in March to wait out the pandemic, Colorado’s economy was roaring and the revenue picture for our state–never far from crisis even in good times–looked a […]
In an op-ed published behind the paywall yesterday by the Phil Anschutz-owned Colorado Springs Gazette, Republican House Minority Leader Patrick Neville sounds off in favor of immediately reopening the state’s economy–despite the fact that Gov. Jared Polis won praise last week from none other than President Donald Trump himself for the controversially swift pace of […]
UPDATE #2: Jesse Paul of the Colorado Sun: Masks showcased a partisan divide in the Capitol. All Democratic lawmakers wore masks, but many Republicans did not. State Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, said she didn’t wear a face covering because it inhibits her breathing and she has allergies. She also questioned their efficacy, even though […]
During an impromptu press conference on Friday, President Trump threatened to do a thing that he absolutely does not have the authority to do. From NBC News: “The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important, essential places of faith to open right now, for this weekend,” he said. “If they […]
EDITOR’S UPDATE: As of October 11, 2021, Anita Springsteen has not, to Colorado Pols’s knowledge, been charged with any crimes or investigated by the Office of Attorney Regulation.

FRIDAY UPDATE: Cory Gardner’s backside in the breeze is how our Memorial Day Weekend kicks off: Yikes, @SenCoryGardner is getting some rough coverage back home #copolitics pic.twitter.com/0CdnrgGAUH — Chris Moyer (@ChrisRMoyer) May 22, 2020 Politico updates: Gardner and others had clamored for immediate reform to the Paycheck Protection Program, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Michael Brown, who became famous after President George W. Bush told him that he was doing a “heck’ve a job” during the Katrina disaster, already knows he isn’t going to take a vaccination against COVID-19, if one becomes available, and, meanwhile, he thinks mask-wearing is in many ways an “utter joke.” “A […]
As the Aurora Sentinel reports, police have arrested a man for repeatedly vandalizing the Tri-County Health Department and making some pretty explicit threats: Investigators believe Daniel Pesch, 36, drew graffiti on the facade of the Tri-County Health office at 15192 E Hampden Ave. and repeatedly threw rocks through the building’s windows between April 15 and […]

Checking in on Republican CD-3 primary candidate Lauren “Yosemite Samantha” Boebert’s short-lived campaign of civil disobedience against the Garfield County Public Health Department, as the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports, we find the situation has changed substantially since last week when we last updated this story with the GarCo sheriff’s refusal to take action […]

As the Idaho Statesman reports, relations between the governor and lieutenant governor in the Gem State–both allegedly rock-ribbed conservative Republicans in charge of one of America’s reddest state governments–have turned decidedly frosty in recent weeks as the “establishment” and insurgent wings of the Republican Party come into conflict over measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Pushing “energy dominance” now is robbing the future and from taxpayers today. The COVID-19 crisis has a way of focusing priorities. So it is quite troubling that the Trump administration priority is taking advantage of the pandemic to implement a pro-polluter agenda that threatens to make energy development the dominant use […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby updates on the developing scandal over Colorado GOP Chairman Ken Buck’s management of the COVID-addled 2020 assemblies, the apparent fudging of the results of which is threatening to plunge an already beleaguered party facing another round of destruction at the polls in November into even more intraparty chaos: The […]
Brad Bunn and his fellow organizers were hoping for an overwhelming show of force, enough to prevent police from enforcing the law for fear of a massive gun battle. Thanks to the FBI and Larimer County, Colorado, Sheriff’s deputies, neither Bunn nor other openly-armed protesters made it to the Capitol. Bunn had advocated for […]
In recent history, serving as Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party has come with a heaping helping of downside and just a smidge of upside. The current State GOP Chair, who also moonlights as Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley), has largely managed to stub his toe on every available rock in a little more than a […]

This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discuss two polls that spell doom for our second favorite U.S. Senator from Colorado; everything is totally under control with the coronavirus as cases mount well past one million; Republicans still want to kill Obamacare (even though it’s one of the […]
(Fact check: “pants on fire,” basically – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Sen. Cory Gardner continues to claim credit for obtaining 100 ventilators for Colorado, despite the federal government having blocked a state deal for 500 machines. In an online interview with KNUS 710AM radio host Steffan Tubbs, Gardner said he has worked very closely with […]
We wrote a few days ago about the COVID-19 outbreak that seems to be running rampant in the White House. Today, the White House announced a policy change that pretty much sums up the entire Trump administration in general: As The Washington Post reports: Most White House officials will be asked to wear masks or […]
UPDATE #3: Governor Polis does exactly what he should be doing: NEW: @GovofCO Polis says the state will suspend the license of C&C Cafe in Castle Rock for at least 30 days after the viral viral scene over the weekend. Polis says people were putting their “ideological or anti-science views” over public safety. #9NEWS #covid19colorado — […]
The Hill reports today, and for those of us who burned through that $1,200 of stimulus money from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act just beginning to catch up from the personal economic devastation of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it’s bad news: Senate Republicans are pouring cold water on including another round […]
