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 […]
(If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance… – Promoted by Colorado Pols) During an online discussion hosted by a conservative talk radio station yesterday, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) refused to acknowledge that the JBS meat-processing plant brazenly broke its promise to test all employees before they went back to work. Seven JBS employees have […]
A story from the Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson is roiling Colorado Republican Party insiders today, with allegations of criminal demands on party officials to ensure an underperforming state senate candidate appeared on the June 30th party primary ballot despite not qualifying–and the finger is being pointed squarely at Colorado GOP chairman Ken Buck: Colorado Republican […]
(Hater radio lovefest! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In advance of his radio station’s online discussion with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), KNUS host Steffan Tubbs warned “not to expect breaking news” from his “virtual town hall” with Gardner tonight at 7 p.m. Still, Tubbs said he’d ask “what I perceive to be tough questions” […]
Here’s a recent Facebook post from the immediate past Republican President of the Colorado Senate, Kevin Grantham, now running for a better paying seat on the Fremont County Board of Commissioners. He’s reportedly a reader, so we’ll open the floor without further commentary and you can answer Grantham’s curious line of questions: Grantham’s a little […]
Last Friday, as readers know, there was a plot afoot for an illegal armed protest at the Colorado state capitol that failed to materialize under heavy police presence. Detailed “rules of engagement” instructions were given for participants to arrive with their weapons “hot, locked, and ready to rock,” and criteria outlined for when to open […]

(Every picture says a thousand stupid words – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Times Recorder reporter Madeleine Schmidt co-authored this post. Approximately 250 people rallied at the capitol today against public health orders aiming to stop the spread of COVID-19, many of them equating such orders to “tyranny” and criticizing Gov. Jared Polis’ leadership. Very […]
UPDATE 12:45PM: The revolution has reportedly started, but the army is nowhere to be found. Reports from the scene tell us there are no guns, and not really even that many pro-COVID protesters at the Colorado state capitol today. Moreover, there appear to be enough Denver Police and Colorado state troopers on hand to comfortably […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: It’s more than a little disconcerting to bring you this update, but the President of the United States has thrown his lot in with the armed protesters who stormed the Michigan state capitol building yesterday. The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Earlier this year, just before the coronavirus pandemic, the Trump administration launched a program allowing states opt out of traditional Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for low-income people, and instead receive a block grant from the federal government. Trump’s block-grant program, widely seen as a back-door way of killing Obamacare, […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports, state lawmakers are starting to consider where to make cuts in the state budget because of a coronavirus-related revenue shortfall of somewhere between $3 billion and $4 billion (out of a total budget of around $34 billion): Since the start of the pandemic, personal income and sales taxes have plummeted. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) WEDNESDAY POLS UPDATE: Here is UFCW President Kim Cordova on MSNBC from Monday night confirming that most workers at the JBS Greeley plant were never tested: Obviously, there’s a major factual discrepancy here in Cory Gardner’s taking personal credit for delivering thousands of tests to the JBS Greeley plant versus the […]
Democrat Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign is reportedly working to narrow his list of prospective running mates, so we thought it would be a good time to ask Colorado Pols readers to predict the future. As always, we want to know what you think will happen here — not what you want to happen or who you […]
Among the many headlines involving the COVID-19 pandemic in Colorado has been the plight of thousands of workers in meat processing plants located in predominately conservative agricultural areas of the state like Weld County. At the JBS beef packing plant in Greeley, over 100 confirmed cases led to a very brief shutdown of the plant […]

There are hopeful signs that the hard six weeks we’ve been through are indeed slowing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks in large part to our in-state leadership, with no thanks to Trump and his political allies in Washington. With that said, it’s up to us now […]
(White House? What White House? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) If there is a limit to Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) willingness to refrain from criticizing President Trump, it seems musing about the benefits of ingesting bleach isn’t the last straw. Asked to evaluate the administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gardner refused, saying it was […]
The 2018 election cycle was a huge year for Democrats in Colorado, but also across the country. Democrats won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 but actually lost two seats in the U.S. Senate (more on that in a moment). That may change in 2020. In 2018, Democrats flipped 40 seats in […]
In another edition of our regular feature “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to California, where one local official has lost his position after a particularly weird appearance during a “virtual” meeting on Zoom. As the Vallejo Times Herald reports: Chris Platzer said in an email to the Vallejo Times-Herald on Saturday […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you’re looking for smoke signals that Colorado Republicans will moderate their views to appeal to Unaffiliated voters who decide Colorado elections these days, stop reading this post now. The Colorado Republican Party just elected a leading Tea Party activist to represent the Colorado GOP on a national Republican National Convention […]
(God helps those who don’t screw themselves – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Saying “we will not get through this mess without the blessing of God,” U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) told a conservative radio host Thursday that he will apparently defy Gov. Jared Polis’ (D-CO) orders and go to church May 3, one week from […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Calling COVID-19 an “urban disease” and an “old person’s disease,” Trump adviser Stephen Moore praised Colorado’s weekend protest against stay-at-home orders as “effective” in advancing Moore’s goal of reopening the economy quickly. “I saw some of the photos of what happened there in Colorado this week,” Moore told KCOL radio Monday, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has been notoriously difficult to reach for comment recently, particularly when it comes to criticizing President Trump. Gardner’s reluctance to publicly cross his party’s leader has been widely reported, but that didn’t stop him from attacking his likely election opponent, former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, for failing […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a political fundraising email sent yesterday, statehouse Minority Leader Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock) underreported the number of Coloradans hospitalized with coronavirus by half. He claims “fewer than 900 people” have had hospital stays, but publicly available state data put the total at over 2,000. The Colorado Department of Public Health […]
