We wrote in this space on Thursday about discussion in the State Senate regarding proposed legislation seeking to regulate unserialized firearms — more commonly known as “ghost guns” — and to establish a process to serialize firearms made at home via a 3D printer or other methods. There have been bipartisan calls for this legislation, […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) is known for a few things, none of which relate to her actual title as a Member of Congress. As we saw from the latest polling via the The Rocky Mountaineer, voters in Boebert’s Congressional district (CO-03) primarily know her for one of two things: 1) Defending Donald Trump, and 2) […]
The conservative Washington Examiner reports from the early stages of the Republican 2024 presidential primary, where former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has joined in the recent collective dunking on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his “anti-business” hostile relationship with one of his state’s largest employers, The Walt Disney Company. If Disney is tired of […]
Everything old is new again. Well, that’s not exactly right. Everything that was old in 2020 is now older, but there will be a newish version in 2024. A darker version, but in a good way. From The New York Times: President Biden formally announced on Tuesday that he would seek a second term, arguing […]
(A telling editorial hill to die on — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Early last week, Wayne Laugesen, editorial page editor for the trio of Anschutz-owned Colorado media properties (the Gazette in Colorado Springs, Denver Gazette and Colorado Politics), sent a one-line email to his staff. “To all who handle Gazette editorial content: Please do not […]

The close business relationship between two of America’s most scandalous far-right members of Congress, Reps. Matt “Giggity” Gaetz of Florabama and Lauren Boebert representing Altamonte Springs Colorado’s Western Slope, continues with yesterday’s announcement that Gaetz and Boebert will co-host the upcoming La Plata County Lincoln Day Dinner in September. The Durango Herald reports: Florida congressman […]
Colorado is the only state in the country that has intentionally handcuffed itself on fiscal policy, which it did in 1992 when voters passed the so-called “Taxpayers Bill of Rights” (better known as TABOR). Two former Republican lawmakers in Colorado are now warning Arizona not to make the same mistake. Former Republican legislators Don Marostica […]
Denver7’s Colette Bordelon reports on the dueling federal court rulings Friday that have put in question the legality of the most common and least invasive method of abortion in the United States today, the drug mifepristone used in the majority of medication abortions: A federal judge in Texas ruled that a hold be put on […]
As The Associated Press reports: A shooting Monday at a bank in downtown Louisville killed at least four people and wounded at least eight others, police said.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Every second Saturday of the month at its headquarters on 17th Avenue, the Independence Institute hosts a “Barter Market,” ostensibly for freedom-loving citizens to exchange goods and avoid sales tax. Items listed as either on offer or requested at the monthly gathering include organic local food items, homemade candles and guitar […]
Tuesday was a huge election night in Colorado, particular in Denver and Colorado Springs. But there were other big races across the country that can tell us more about how things might look in 2024. Let’s start with the big headlines: Denver Mayor and Public Financing It appears that Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough […]
NBC News reported Monday on the rollout by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee–DCCC or “D-Trip” if you want to say it like the cool kids–of their initial slate of 31 Republican-held seats races they’ll be working to flip in 2024. And after coming within 546 votes of losing her on-paper R+9 seat last November, Colorado’s […]

It has been said that hypocrisy is not a bug, but a feature of the modern Republican Party. We saw it in 2022, when Republicans promoted candidates across the country (Herschel Walker in Georgia, Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania, and even Joe O’Dea in Colorado, to name a few) who expressed ideas that were contradictory to […]
Americans take strong consumer protection laws for granted while they protect the public from fraud, defective goods, and bad service. Much like the work week before unions fought for the weekend, life without consumer protection laws would be bad for everyone. Except ripoff artists. Consumer fraud is a huge problem in Colorado. Colorado ranks 12th […]
(Back to the future — Promoted by Colorado Pols) As the newly elected Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Dave Williams is making the obligatory rounds of the state’s numerous conservative talk radio shows. For the past two weeks, he’s been introducing himself to the party faithful, sharing his vision for revamping the state GOP, […]
The race to become Denver’s next Mayor is getting down to its final days. Ballots were mailed out to voters last week; Election Day is April 4, but with 16 candidates on the ballot, there’s no real chance that one candidate will get more than 50% of the vote to avoid a June 6 runoff. […]
In Rep. Doug Lamborn’s case, it’s neither a spring thing nor gilets jaunes protestwear, just safety first touring the aerospace department at Purdue University last Friday: At least Lamborn didn’t make like Mike Pence and lay hands on the panel labeled “DO NOT TOUCH.” In fact, it looks like Lamborn kept his hands in his […]
With your help, great things are starting to happen at the Colorado Capitol this year. I want to start off the week by thanking everyone who contacted your state representative to support House Bill 23-1099, legislation to save Colorado renters money by streamlining the applicant screening process. By allowing renters to provide portable screening reports […]
Don’t take our word for it, find out yourself next Tuesday: Among the many victories of the “whacktivist” right in the recent Colorado Republican Party internal leadership elections, very much in line with Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams’ election to be the next state GOP chairman and Vickie Tonkins’ enduring reign of error in El […]
Who do you think will make it through to the runoff election in the race for Denver Mayor? That’s the hot question right now in Colorado politics, for a couple of reasons: For one thing, the Denver Mayor’s office is only open (without an incumbent seeking re-election) about once a decade; the ultimate winner of […]
(Welcome to the previously unthinkable — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Despite losing the election to lead the Colorado Republican Party last weekend, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters may yet have a role in leading the state GOP.
