Cory Gardner (R-CO) a “Courage to Lead Award” Thursday for his work on immigration legislation last year–not for the senator’s overall record on immigration issues. The decision by the Forum, a national pro-immigrant group, to recognize Gardner surprised immigration experts, who […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In what some are calling yet another utterly-dysfunctional move by the El Paso County Republican Party, which is already in chaos, an outspoken right-wing state legislator was selected last week to serve as a liaison between the Trump Campaign and Republicans in El Paso County, which has the most GOP voters […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports: Facing online and on-air criticisms this week from environmental groups, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner is portraying himself as a steadfast defender of Colorado’s oil and gas industry in an era of unprecedented progressive attacks… Gardner, a Yuma Republican, faces a tough re-election fight next year in an increasingly […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul and Jennifer Brown reported this week on the expanding probe into sexual abuse committed by Roman Catholic priests in Colorado over the course of many decades.

(Very fine people – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Facebook, Google, and Wells Fargo are all prominent sponsors this year’s conference of a Koch-funded network of right-wing think tanks and advocacy groups, several of which promote far-right beliefs, including Islamophobia, homophobia and sexism. Facebook is giving branded travel mugs to attendees of the 2019 State Policy […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With a ballot measure allowing Colorado to use already-collected TABOR taxes for roads and schools expected to be close, five Democratic Colorado governors have joined together in calling on citizens to vote ‘yes’ and get their ballots submitted by mail or at drop-off locations by next Tuesday, Nov. 5. Gov. Jared […]
That’s what the Resist Polis PAC, the organization that just wrapped up the humiliating failure of a recall petition drive against Gov. Jared Polis, allegedly netting less than half the required total and never turning in any signatures to how for sure, is telling supporters on Facebook. Stay tuned! These folks are about to (their […]

Try to follow the bouncing ball as best you can… Last Thursday the White House announced that the 2020 G7 Conference would be held at a Trump-owned and operated hotel and conference center called the Doral International Resort in Miami, Florida. Two days later, President Trump scrapped that idea amid mounting concerns from many Republicans about the obviously […]

Former Colorado political reporter Eli Stokols, now of the Los Angeles Times, reports: President Trump intends to host next year’s G7 conference at his Doral International Resort in Miami in June, the White House confirmed Thursday, a controversial decision certain to raise conflict of interest questions given the financial benefit to Trump’s business… The idea […]

UPDATE #5: AP’s Nick Riccardi reports, Sen. Cory Gardner’s flop sweat is contagious: On Thursday, two Republican senators — Joni Ernst of Iowa and Cory Gardner of Colorado — repeatedly refused to answer reporters’ questions on whether a president should make such a request of a rival power. “I don’t know that we have that […]
(It’s so weird that Brauchler failed at running for both Governor AND Attorney General in 2018 🙄 Promoted by Colorado Pols) “This is the hand on the knee, and if we don’t swat it away, they’re going to come for TABOR with a big, deep, tongue-down-your-throat kiss, here, next year or about a year after […]
