The 2025 legislative session officially came to a close on Wednesday night, which means it’s time for our annual “Winners and Losers” assessment. We’ll start today with our “Winners” list: Tom Sullivan In his sixth year at the State Capitol, Sen. Tom Sullivan (D-Centennial) continues to shepherd smart gun violence prevention measures through the […]
The Colorado Libertarian Party has a long way to go in order to achieve any real political relevance in our state. About 37,000 Coloradans are registered as “Libertarians,” which accounts for about 0.009 percent of the state’s 4.1 million active voters. The recent actions of the CLP’s leadership probably won’t move those numbers any higher. […]
As FOX 31’s Gabrielle Franklin reports, residents of freshman GOP Rep. Gabe Evans‘ district are preparing more “People’s Town Halls” for the weekend after Easter to lodge their complaints over Evans’ votes in favor of and general canine loyalty to President Donald Trump as Trump’s reign of dictatorial destruction passes the three-month mark. Although these […]
Colorado’s eighth congressional district is the very definition of a toss-up race. In 2024, Republican Gabe Evans defeated Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo by less than one percentage point (49.0 – 48.2). National Democrats almost immediately declared CO-08 as a top pickup opportunity for 2026, when Republicans are expected to be heavy underdogs to maintain majority […]
A major development with local and national implications reported by the Colorado Sun’s Jason Blevins this morning, Kathleen Sgamma, the longtime Colorado-based oil and gas booster nominated by President Donald Trump with the support of fellow Coloradan Energy Secretary Chris Wright to lead the Bureau of Land Management, suddenly withdrew from the confirmation process: The […]
UPDATE: Via David A. Graham of The Atlantic, this is even more confounding than you thought: This afternoon, President Donald Trump announced a partial pivot on social media. On the one hand, he ratcheted up tariffs on China to 125 percent. On the other hand, he announced that he was reducing tariffs on “more than […]
CNBC reporting today on a massive market selloff provoked by President Donald Trump’s announcement just after markets closed yesterday of sweeping tariffs taking effect against basically every nation in the world including our closest economic partners and allies. Despite some hope that Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs would be more lenient than the worst fears, […]
The Colorado Republican Party is such a cartoonish disaster that it would need to undergo a deep cleaning just to be able to call itself a “mess.” It’s no wonder that the GOP is having a hard time finding a venue willing to get in the mud along with the rest of the party faithful. […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s Bernie Sanders vs. Lori Saine as the always-cantankerous candidate for Colorado GOP chair organizes counter-protests for each of Sanders’ stops in Greeley and Denver: We hope both sides keep it neighborly. —– Denverite’s Kyle Harris reports on a big upcoming weekend for pressing the political flesh, with perhaps the largest crowd expected […]
As AP’s Lisa Mascaro reports via 9NEWS, an outburst last night from a Democratic member of Congress during President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress could lead to further punishment by the GOP-controlled House against Rep. Al Green of Texas: As Green rose to speak, shaking his walking cane at the president, […]
We wrote earlier today about the day of reckoning coming for Republican Members of Congress in tough districts who supported a Republican budget proposal that seeks to decimate funding for Medicaid — something that one of every five Coloradans relies upon for health coverage and/or nursing home care. As soon as Freshman Rep. Gabe Evans […]
Following the passage last week of the Republican framework budget resolution setting the stage for massive cuts to funding for a broad range of vital government services like Medicaid, Colorado Public Radio’s John Daley took a detailed look at the impact of the expected cuts on individual congressional districts across the state. And as we’ve […]
(Saine is in — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Former Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine plunged into the race to be the next leader of the Colorado Republican Party last night, saying that “America-First policies” will put Republicans back in power here. “I’m Lori Saine and I am running […]
UPDATE: Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper has a warning that Evans and other Republicans would be wise to heed. Via POLITICO: Sen. John Hickenlooper said Tuesday that the Trump administration’s broad cuts to federal programs will come to hurt farmers, veterans and food stamp recipients — and Republicans will come to regret it. “If these cuts […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder National Harbor, MD– Brita Horn, candidate for chair of the Colorado GOP, has led the organizing of volunteers at CPAC for the past four years. “Colorado is really involved here,” Horn said. “They really do like CPAC. They really like the style of it.” […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder Any Colorado voters who feel that Republicans did not spend enough energy attacking transgender people in prior election cycles can rejoice: anti-trans activist Rich Guggenheim has officially filed to run for the state’s 6th Congressional District in 2026. Guggenheim is the Colorado chapter leader […]
As the Summit Daily’s Robert Tann reports, the Colorado Senate passed on final third reading today a contentious but broadly misunderstood piece of gun safety legislation, much modified from its original form of a strict ban on semiautomatic weapons meeting specific criteria in common with the definition of an assault rifle into a new training […]
The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports this morning on the resolution to a human resources problem at the Colorado Capitol created by now-former Democratic state Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis, who was facing an ethics investigation over misuse and general mistreatment of her state-funded legislative staff: Jaquez Lewis, a Longmont Democrat, posted the announcement on her […]

President Donald Trump campaigned heavily in 2024 on promises to lower the cost of groceries (including eggs) and gasoline if given another term in the White House. Voters obliged, and then Trump promptly got started on…not doing a damn thing to lower costs for Americans. As CNBC notes in a detailed chart, the cost of […]
As the new administration ramps up its promised crackdown on undocumented immigrants across the nation, which includes threats to revoke the temporary legal status of thousands of migrants from certain countries, an example of the cognitive dissonance facing swing-district Republicans like Colorado’s freshman Rep. Gabe Evans can be found in a report last week from […]
I’ve seen just as many anti-Elon Musk signs as anti-Trump signs at this protest in Denver. @DenverChannel #copolitics pic.twitter.com/HPBabVWFPT — Brandon Richard (@BrandonLRichard) February 5, 2025 As the Denver Post’s political team Seth Klamann and Nick Coltrain report from the Colorado Capitol today, what’s being described by all accounts as an unexpectedly large crowd of […]
One of the more colorful, and by that we mean unapologetically insane figures in Colorado politics our readers know well is election conspiracy theorist and gun store owner Joe Oltmann, the respondent in a defamation suit stemming from Oltmann’s fictional account of a conversation in which a Dominion Voting Systems executive supposedly made promises to […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Quentin Young reports, there’s a pasty, pudgy virus loose in one of America’s most important systems: Democratic members of Colorado’s congressional delegation reacted with shock Monday to reports that a team led by Trump administration-empowered Elon Musk had infiltrated sensitive data and financial systems overseen by multiple federal government agencies. Several of […]
Progress? Is that what this is? One year ago today, Republicans in the State House of Representatives made complete asses of themselves in their (annual) opposition to what is an (annual) resolution acknowledging Black History Month. The top clown in the House Republican Caucus — Colorado Springs Rep. Ken “Dildo” DeGraaf — even voted against the […]
