At least once during the 2019 legislative session, State Rep. Lori Saine (R-Firestone) — who is also the House Minority Caucus Chair — delivered a questionable history lesson during a floor speech in the House of Representatives. In 2019, Saine talked about how Christopher Columbus really wasn’t such a bad guy. On Thursday, Saine delivered […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is rolling out endorsements from fellow Republican Senators and spending a lot of money on Facebook to promote them in an effort to raise more money for his own re-election bid. For obvious reasons, Gardner’s campaign has been less enthusiastic about announcing one particular endorsement. This week Gardner promoted endorsements/fundraising […]
Marketing is an exciting career in a rapidly evolving industry. While traditional marketing still has a place in the world, many companies are going partially or completely digital. Companies that specialize strictly in digital marketing have sprung up and are helping businesses grow in ways that were unheard of a decade ago. SEO Companies that […]
Today, the Colorado Senate gave final passage to Senate Bill 217–a slate of urgent reforms to police procedure and immunity from prosecution intended to prevent killings like the alleged murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police two weeks ago. As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, a dramatic shift by the Republican minority in the […]
State Senator Rob Woodward (R-Loveland) stuck both feet in his mouth on Saturday during a discussion about legislation regarding debt collection practices. Woodward used the analogy of “stepping on necks” and then added the phrase “colored people” for good measure. Here’s the video via Alex Burness of The Denver Post: pic.twitter.com/EAqvYlMyYz — Alex Burness (@alex_burness) […]
I am racist. All my life, as far back as I can remember, I was raised to not be a racist. And I am not a racist, but I am racist. I am racist because I was born a white man in America in 1964. I am racist because I am not dead, even though […]
As a followup to the bizarre debate this week in the Colorado General Assembly over new rules allowing limited remote participation by lawmakers who may be at greater risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to take a moment to discuss the objections of one Republican Senator in particular, Sen. Jim Smallwood of Littleton. As […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: The Colorado General Assembly will not meet today or tomorrow. The Senate will not be in session at the Capitol today or tomorrow in solidarity with those protesting police violence. — Joann Ginal (@joannginal) May 29, 2020 Today Senate Democrats released the following statement in response to last night’s protests for police accountability […]
UPDATE: Rep. Richard Holtorf gets right down to the heart of the matter: Irish people drink! REP. HOLTORF: Okay, we know the Irish legacy. What if I’m not even sober? How would you know? What if I’m not of a sound state in mind? We’re not sure what to say here, except we apologize to […]

The Colorado legislature re-convened today after a two month coronavirus break, with the main item on the agenda the constitutionally-mandated passage of a balanced state budget. We’ve heard a lot about the gut-wrenching decisions being made by Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee, but not much about how Republican lawmakers are planning to operate in these final […]

Under controversially relaxed signature-gathering rules in place to maximize voter participation during the ongoing pandemic, two opposing campaigns are petitioning to get on the November ballot with initiatives that can be credibly called tax cuts–or at least tax cuts for the overwhelming majority of Colorado residents. One measure, Initiative 271 (but don’t memorize that number […]
(“Boy” Neville knows best – Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you follow the Colorado Times Recorder, you know we’ve been trying to figure out if some Republican leaders in Colorado, like Colorado Republican House leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock and U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), believe masks provide any protection whatsoever against getting COVID-19. […]

This week started with lots of news about C&C Breakfast and Korean Kitchen in Castle Rock, which opened up its doors for Sunday brunch and welcomed a swarm of unmasked social distancing deniers encouraged onward by folks such as House Minority Leader Patrick Neville. The Tri-County Health Department and the State of Colorado cracked down […]
As the Greeley Tribune’s Cuyler Meade reports–voting against every coronavirus relief bill, sometimes almost alone, slamming stay-at-home orders to slow the pandemic while deaths from COVID-19 skyrocketed in his home Weld County, mocking basic best practices like wearing masks and avoiding mass gatherings, and plenty more examples of outrageous irresponsibility we didn’t even bother to […]
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 […]
(Pardon his French – Promoted by Colorado Pols) John “TIG” Tiegen, who launched Trump’s re-election in Colorado in November, is organizing an aggressive protest Sunday to defend a restaurant that welcomed throngs of maskless customers last weekend. Tiegen, who submitted petitions in November to place Trump’s name on the Colorado election ballot, identified himself at […]
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 — […]
Here’s what’s known in the business as a “Friday news dump” out of pandemic-stricken Weld County, Colorado, where the arch-conservative county commissioners drilled ahead with their own plan to reopen businesses there early and over the strenuous objection of Gov. Jared Polis and state health department authorities. Dr. Mark Wallace, director of the Weld County […]
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 […]
Late yesterday a new poll on the Colorado Senate race from Montana State University and The University of Denver came out with some pretty stunning numbers.

As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, the forecast fiscal casualties for the state of Colorado as the General Assembly looks to un-pause the 2020 session later this month are piling up, with the massive revenue decline faced by the state putting the obligatory kibosh on a slew of Democratic policy priorities they began the […]
