The Aurora Sentinel’s pseudonymous Quidnunc actually has news today that we didn’t already know: QUID HAS HEARD that it’s untrue that the fathomlessly far-right thunk tank in Golden, Ye Olde In Depends Astute, or something like that, does nothing right, or left. Seems that institute chief brainiac Jon Caldara — successor to the likes of […]
(The award is an invisible trophy — promoted by Colorado Pols) Maybe we can’t stop Trump from promoting fake news, but we can at least try to stop our own leaders from spreading it. That’s the BigMedia Blog’s goal in bestowing Colorado’s first annual Fake News Awards to lawmakers and public figures. Crusader for a […]
Colorado is blessed with a host of qualified candidates running for Governor to replace John Hickenlooper. Here is my story to explain why I personally support Jared Polis. Nearly 20 years ago, as a parent of three small children and an early childhood professional, I read an article about Colorado restricting Education students to […]
Colorado has had seven U.S. Senators since 1990. Three have been re-elected at least once: Democrat Republican Ben “Nighthorse” Campbell, Republican Wayne Allard, and Democrat Michael Bennet. As for the other four: Republican Hank Brown retired after one term, Democrat Ken Salazar left early to become Interior Secretary, and Democrat Mark Udall lost his bid for re-election in 2014 to Republican Cory […]

A fundraising email sent this week from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Donna Lynne’s campaign manager Ethan Susseles extracted some chuckles from political insiders, but you wouldn’t know why at first glance from the content: I couldn’t wait to get you this really important update on the state of our campaign: The latest PPP poll on the […]
House Speaker Paul Ryan has apparently had enough of this shit. As Tim Alberta and Rachael Bade report for Politico today, it appears that Ryan is not going to run for re-election in 2018: Despite several landmark legislative wins this year, and a better-than-expected relationship with President Donald Trump, Ryan has made it known to some of his closest […]
(That sounds painful – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has been taking it pretty hard from all Coloradans, judging from his low approval ratings, and his conservative base isn’t giving him a pass when it comes to criticism either. In one recent Facebook post, for example, the North Jeffco Tea Party […]
9NEWS reports on an increasingly hot topic in the affluent northeast Denver neighborhood built over the former Stapleton International Airport: Two community forums were held Tuesday to discuss the use of the name ‘Stapleton’ — in a building with the name ‘Stapleton’ above both entrances. Change The Name Stapleton held two meetings at The Cube […]
As we head into the holidays and the end of a very long year, I wanted to take a moment to say something once again that I’ve said each week as we’ve helped organize the resistance to Trump and the far right here in Colorado. Thank you. We say thanks so often it loses its […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Eddie Mirick was just elected to the at-large seat on Greeley’s City Council. Mirick has a 1978 felony conviction for forgery, which he lied about when he filled out the paperwork to run for City Council. The charter of Greeley, a “home-rule” city, specifically does not allow anyone convicted of a […]
Olympic champion skier Lindsey Vonn of Vail made headlines last week with her comments about who she would, and would not, be representing as an American Olympian at the upcoming Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. An enthusiastic yes to representing Americans, but not so much President Donald Trump as the Vail Daily reported: “Well, […]
Near the end of George W. Bush’s second term of office, a business couple arrived in Buenos Aires to meet with potential clients. Every single client they met was told that they were not supporters of George W. Bush’s policies, but that the future was probably bright for Argentina after he left office. It didn’t […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Personal Attacks and Attempts to Discredit Critics Likely to Backfire on Industry Anyone that follows my work, here at ColoradoPols or IRL, is likely to know I am an environmentalist, activist, and outspoken about my opinions. I’m even being harassed with a SLAPP action by a Texas-based oil and gas company, […]
This weekend, the U.S. Senate voted to hurt millions of Americans. Most likely, you’re one of them. The so-called “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” isn’t about tax cuts or jobs for America’s middle class. Study after study has shown that the benefits of this legislation will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans. Meanwhile, […]
UPDATE: President Trump is now “all in” on supporting Moore, as CNN reports: President Donald Trump fully endorsed Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore on Twitter Monday morning. Trump had hesitated to throw his full support behind the embattled Republican candidate in the wake of explosive accusations against him. His tweet Monday comes as recent […]
Are you a Colorado resident who is new to owning a gun? If so, you may want some help in deciding which gun, and equipment is right for you. You are also going to need some help learning about the firearm laws in Colorado, in order to ensure that you comply with them. Once you […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During her speech Monday to a Republican vacancy committee that selected her to represent House District 47 at the Colorado Capitol, former Otero County GOP chair Judy Reyher slammed public education, saying, “They keep pouring money in, and we keep churning out more idiots.” “All the money that they keep throwing […]
CNN’s Situation Room caught up with Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner today, asking him about the controversy over President Donald Trump’s promotion on Twitter of dubious anti-Muslim videos produced by a fringe British ultra-nationalist group. Gardner’s response to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer will not be remembered as a profile in courage. Sen. Gardner on President Trump’s tweets: I […]
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner sounded like Ronald Reagan himself this morning on KOA radio, when he claimed the Senate’s tax-reform bill would help the poor with trickle-down wage increases. Still, he said, he was uncertain whether he’d ultimately vote for the measure–just as he’s been undecided before voting in favor of all Obamacare-repeal bills this […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As he exited the gubernatorial race this week, Republican attorney general candidate George Brauchler criticized current AG Cynthia Coffman, telling KCOL radio host Jimmy Lakey that Coffman’s last-minute “decision to abandon her position as attorney general” put the AG’s office at risk of falling into Democratic hands–something he did not want […]
UPDATE: The offending Tweet has now been deleted, but thanks to the magic of screenshots (see below) it has the opportunity to live on in infamy. You’re welcome. —– Sean Paige, the communications director of the Colorado Senate Republican Majority Office, doesn’t know what Google’s problem is this morning: Contemporaneous with news this morning out […]
Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb gets serious praise for removing fake news from his Facebook page, which falsely quoted Trump as saying: “If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. […]
