The Crippling Indecisiveness of Cynthia Coffman

Nobody trolls Colorado Republicans quite like Cynthia Coffman. Hardly a week goes by that we don’t hear a new rumor about the Republican Attorney General’s interest in joining the crowded field of candidates running for Governor in 2018. For more than a year, Coffman’s name has been bandied about for the top job in the state. Sure, it’s […]

Speaking With One Voice

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) What is important, in my mind, about the #metoo phenomenon is that women are finally speaking out, and as one voice. For years, we might have told our best friends about sexual harassment, but rarely told anybody else. I have many stories of harassment in the work-place, but I only shared one with […]

Jeff Flake Burns Donald Trump (And Coffman, And Gardner)

In the aftermath of yesterday’s apparent terrorist attack by a Uzbeki immigrant to the United States in New York City, President Donald Trump is doing what he does best in moments of national crisis–pointing the finger at his political enemies: The terrorist came into our country through what is called the “Diversity Visa Lottery Program,” […]

Vicki Marble’s Cub Scout Fiasco Lurches Into Week 3

This weekend, the New York Times put the capstone on one of the worst weeks of nationwide press for a Colorado state senator that anyone can remember–Sen. Vicki Marble’s grilling by 11-year-old Cub Scout Ames Mayfield that blew up into massive controversy after the kid was booted from his den by the adult pack leader: […]

What you can do to fight back this week (October 23)

So much for the “party of fiscal responsibility.” Last week, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate began the process of jamming through a massive tax cut that overwhelmingly benefits the richest people in this country at the expense of middle-class families. After spending months unsuccessfully trying to rob millions of Americans of health care, the GOP has […]

Rep. Phil Covarrubias Has Himself a Facebook Meltdown

You might remember freshman GOP Rep. Phil Covarrubias of Adams County from unfortunate remarks he made on the floor of the Colorado House this past March–which, though they were a little confusing in the delivery, very much appeared to excuse the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Rep. Covarrubias’ comments went national, and as […]

So Many Want To See Mike Pence, It’s Half Price! Wait, What?

UPDATE #2: Denverite’s Erica Meltzer updates as the Colorado GOP weaves all over the road: However, later in the afternoon, GOP Executive Director Shana Banberger, said that tickets sold have already exceeded expectations of 400 attendees. She described the initial information as “inaccurate” without clarifying what, specifically, was wrong. (I’ve asked for that clarification, and […]

Colorado Springs Refuses To Drop Gardner Protester Charges

The Colorado Springs Independent’s Nat Stein follows up on one of the lingering trespassing cases left over from the spate of protests this past summer over health care at Sen. Cory Gardner’s offices–most of which have been dismissed at Gardner’s request, but not in conservative Colorado Springs: While the debate roiled on in Washington, D.C., […]

Gardner on Bannon Insurgency: This is Fine!

Bloomberg News tracks the growing Republican unease over Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist now masterminding what appears to be a nationwide insurgency against the “establishment” GOP–after toppling appointed GOP incumbent Sen. Luther Strange of Alabama in favor of freak-right icon Roy Moore, and at least some manner of contact with prospective Colorado […]

Just How Safe Is Colorado’s Most Worthless Congressman?

As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports–Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs, who has weathered numerous primary challenges ever since winning his own cut-throat Republican contest to succeed now-long retired (and fondly remembered) Rep. Joel Hefley, has stepped into scandal just as he prepares to face a whole pack of fresh Republican faces in 2018: […]

The Progressive Jobs Board and more you can do to fight back this week (October 16)

On Friday, Donald Trump abandoned the last pretense that his administration isn’t deliberately trying to hurt people and break our institutions. Trump’s unilateral decision to cut off billions of dollars in cost-sharing subsidies is nothing less than a deliberate attempt to destabilize the health insurance market and threaten the health coverage of millions of Americans. […]

Q3 Fundraising Reports Available Today

Fundraising reports for the third quarter of 2017 are due to be filed today (both state and federal races). There are still a few candidates in big races, such as GOP gubernatorial hopeful Walker Stapleton, who won’t have much to report because they only recently became formal candidates, but otherwise Q3 numbers provide our best look […]

Me Too

It has been both comforting and chilling to see so many women sharing the status “Me too” on Twitter and Facebook. Here is my story. As a woman who climbed the corporate ladder in banking in Denver, I know a little about sexual harassment and how some men use it to gain power over people. […]

Hey ColoradoPolitics, you’ll lose the war against fake news if you put your credibility at risk

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Journalists hate fake news, right? And they hate it when they’re accused of being purveyors of fake news. So why would a newspaper put its most valuable asset, its credibility, at risk by publishing fake-news advertisements that look almost exactly like news? And then not answer questions about it? Don’t ask […]

Gardner’s Push for Trump to Unilaterally Dismantle Obamacare Is Coming to Fruition

(Like we said – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has yet to comment on Trump’s latest effort to deliver a body blow to Obamacare by eliminating insurance assistance for low-income people. But in March, Gardner said he hoped Trump would use his presidential authority, ASAP, to dismantle Obamacare. “We also, I […]

People Should Exercise Their Right to Vote

One of the best things about living in America and having legal citizenship is that you are entitled to make your voice heard through the voting process. People are allowed to actively participate in deciding which politicians will govern the United States. They can also vote on other key issues like the legalization or marijuana […]

Hello, I’m Claudette Konola, and I’m a Democrat

I spent this evening with a lot of Democrats in a winery in Orchard Mesa. In the beginning it felt a little like an AA meeting, or how I imagine they work, “Hi, I’m Larry, and I’m a Democrat.” People coming out of the closet!   While it was fun for me to connect with […]

North Fork Valley: Too Wild To Drill

Monday Update: The recent decision to proceed with large-scale oil and gas development in the upper headwaters of the North Fork of the Gunnison river, at Bull Mountain, is gaining national attention, with coverage by AP and an article in the Denver Post. BLM Approves Master Plan for Drilling in North Fork Valley The Bureau […]

BREAKING: GOP Kills Pot Tax Funding Fix, Special Session Fails

UPDATE: Colorado House Democrats aren’t happy with this outcome: “We presented a constitutionally sound measure to fix a mistake that will impact Coloradans across the state,” said Majority Leader KC Becker, House sponsor of HB17B-1001. “Unfortunately, after we assembled for the special session, the other party chose to waste this opportunity to get this right.
