WEDNESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark got a statement from Heidi Ganahl as local partners of the so-called “Job Creators Network” run away from their lawsuit against Denver: CLARK: Several Colorado organizations are listed as partners on the Job Creators Network website. As you can imagine they did not love getting asked about it today. CU […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) We’re often our own worst enemy. It wasn’t always this way. It was Democratic Socialist policies, rooted in The New Deal, that gave rural America the foundation upon which we built our network of thriving agriculturally-based communities. Rural electrification made possible irrigation across the broad expanse of the Central Great Plains; […]
(“Free helicopter rides!” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) John Birch Society speaker Leah Southwell wants folks to know that Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet wasn’t such a bad guy. Political Science professors and historians disagree. Pinochet took power in a coup and ruled the country for 17 years before stepping aside (though remaining in command of […]
Governor Polis has ordered flags to be flown at half staff in remembrance of eight people killed during yet another mass shooting — this time in San Jose, California.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Right-wing radio host Dan Caplis got to the heart of the matter last week when he asked Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman what happens if homeless people ignore Coffman’s proposed camping ban and don’t relocate to Coffman’s “designated area.” “Where does that end,” asked Caplis on his KHOW show May 19. After […]

Our friends at Right Wing Watch bring us the latest example of freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert doing the thing she does best, which is making stuff up on friendly right-wing media forums who would never think of fact-checking her in real time. Boebert appeared yesterday on the “prime time” streaming channel of far-right personality “Dr.” […]
FOX 31 reports on the passage yesterday in the Colorado House of new gun safety bills introduced in response to the mass shooting at a Boulder supermarket in March, including a bill banning gun purchases for five years for those convicted of a range of violent misdemeanor crimes that might have prevented the Boulder shooter […]
UPDATE MAY 17: Some confusion on Monday as Rep. Lauren Boebert appears to have ditched Saturday’s event without letting anyone know: .@laurenboebert was supposed to speak at this event this afternoon but she’s nowhere to be found. Organizer won’t answer questions about if she’s still speaking and just pulled a candidate from a different congressional […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I share the admiration of Abraham Lincoln with a majority of Americans; in surveys conducted since 1940, he has consistently ranked among the top 3, most often #1. Abe was the only president to hold a patent; he signed the first of the Homestead Acts, allowing poor people to obtain land. […]

As the fully-expected ouster of Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position in the Republican U.S. House minority leadership proceeded as planned this morning, one fellow Republican member of Congress, Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, emerged as one of Cheney’s most visible defenders–leaving fellow Republicans fuming as Buck also publicly refuses to embrace Donald Trump’s […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A bill to provide diapers to families in need is moving through Colorado’s Senate, but it’s not getting the support you might expect from Republican lawmakers who routinely push legislation that they say is aimed at protecting babies. In fact, every vote on the legislation thus far has fallen squarely along […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Gabrielle Bye, for the Colorado Times Recorder. University of Colorado (CU) Regent Heidi Ganahl, the state’s sole remaining statewide-elected Republican, has been busy lately. Besides CU Regent duties, business ventures, and numerous speaking engagements, she’s also recently begun writing a column for the Denver Gazette. And she’s about to launch […]

The bill formerly known as the “Colorado Option” passed out of the House Health and Insurance Committee on a party-line vote on Tuesday.

This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, the United States is the best at mass shootings; there is a giant ice globe sitting on the lawn outside of the State Capitol; opponents of the “Colorado Option” have run out of arguments; State Rep. Ron Hanks has trouble with history; and we check back on […]
From time to time in this space we’ve discussed the, uh, antics of Republican Jim Pfaff, the former Chief of Staff for Colorado House Republicans under former House Minority Leader Patrick Neville who was known mostly for threatening fellow Republicans. When last we mentioned Pfaff in November 2020, he had just sent out a strange press […]
