As readers know, the U.S. House Select Committee investigating the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th of this year has subpoenaed ex-University of Colorado “visiting conservative scholar” John Eastman to testify about his allegedly central role in the planning of a last-ditch attempt to overturn the results on the 2020 presidential election […]
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eli Bremer was a guest on something called “The Richard Randall Show” earlier this week. We’re noting Bremer’s right-wing radio appearance here only because Colorado Pols and “The Big Line” were an early topic during the discussion.

As The Washington Post reports: The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection issued subpoenas Monday to six top advisers to former president Donald Trump, including two who were active in the Willard hotel “command center” where Trump’s loyal backers oversaw efforts in January to overturn the 2020 election. Those subpoenaed to provide testimony […]
We couldn’t let this week come to a close without making sure to address an incredible post-election story from Charles Ashby of The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. As Ashby reports, with an appropriate amount of skepticism, “embattled” Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters apparently possesses some sort of magical powers bestowed on her by […]
DENVER: The latest edition of the Rocky Mountaineer, an exclusive polling partnership between Global Strategy Group and ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest multi-issue progressive advocacy organization, reveals that Gov.

Voters in Mesa County School District 51 are being asked to foot the bill for a brand new $145 million high school for Grand Junction, raising taxes on homeowners to pay for a new building instead of maintaining and upgrading existing facilities. It’s wrong to inflict this new huge tax burden on taxpayers who are […]
Sunday night, Rolling Stone’s Hunter Walker shook up national political news with a new report alleging many more meetings between organizers of the January 6th protest that devolved into violent insurgency at the U.S. Capitol and far-right members of Congress–including Colorado’s newly sworn-in Rep. Lauren Boebert–than have previously been disclosed: As the House investigation into […]
(O-kay… — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Aurora City Council candidate Danielle Jurinsky claims that I misquoted her a “couple” times in an article posted over the weekend, but she won’t say where the errors are. In the piece, about a conservative slate of candidates that’s campaigning together to take over the Aurora Council, I wrote […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In many ways we’ve come full circle. I still have memories of a great-grandfather who traveled as a child on a covered wagon from Iowa to Wray. He lived to see a man on the moon. My father can share stories of the days of his youth where the farm house […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul unembargoed his story coincident with the announcement Saturday morning on KNUS-AM with former DA-turned radio carnival barker George Brauchler: former Republican Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson has filed to run against Democratic incumbent Secretary of State Jena Griswold in 2022: “I think people need a trusted voice,” Anderson said in an […]

Western Slope blogger Anne Landman reports: among all of the bizarre spectacles playing out in school board meetings across the nation this fall as parents respond to continuing measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic based on their political persuasion, last week’s meeting of the Garfield County RE-2 school board earned a spot on the highlight […]
Last week we noted that Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl was poised to submit a very rough fundraising report for her first quarter as an official candidate. According to Ganahl’s own campaign, the perceived Republican frontrunner had raised just $137,000 — or $13,000 less than little-known U.S. Senate candidate Erik Aadland collected in Q3. Ganahl’s […]
A fundraising email this week from Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eli Bremer raised some eyebrows this week for employing a visual aid that didn’t exactly help convey the intended message: Violent Crime cases have hit a 25-year high in Colorado – and, quite frankly, who’s surprised? What else will it take, Colorado? When will we […]
Full campaign finance numbers for the third quarter of 2021 will be made publicly available on Friday, but some figures are starting to leak out ahead of time.

A press release from Colorado Democrats rebuts yesterday’s campaign event featuring Republican candidate for governor Hiedi Heidi Ganahl and longtime conservative “culture warrior” Dennis Prager–in which, as we’re just catching up with today, Prager had some remarkably divisive things to say: Sunday afternoon, Heidi Ganahl held a campaign event with right wing extremist Dennis Prager, […]
UPDATE: Colorado GOP chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown responds as carefully as she may in today’s Unaffiliated newsletter by the Colorado Sun: “I briefly accepted a role with FEC United where I was never paid and no contract was signed,” Burton Brown said in a statement to The Colorado Sun. “It was my understanding that FEC’s […]
