Late night television host Jimmy Kimmel returns to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” tonight on ABC after parent company Disney reversed course on last week’s “indefinite” suspension amid a flood of protests from activists, celebrities, and production studios. Kimmel marked the occasion by posting a photo on Instagram posing with the late Norman Lear, a longtime television […]
Lawmakers will reconvene next Thursday for a special legislative session in order to figure out how to make another $800 million dollars in cuts to the state budget necessitated by President Trump’s “big beautiful bullshit bill” enacted by Congress in early July. In the meantime, Colorado Republicans have been trying very hard to put their […]
When we last encountered former state Rep. Dan Woog, running again for the Colorado House in Erie’s HD-19, he seemed to be lost deep in somebody’s cornfield with voices manifesting either in his head or in the background in what we think was a parody of the movie Field of Dreams, although Woog never left […]
As readers may know, Donald Trump’s campaign has instructed Republican campaigns across the country to avoid fundraising appeals that invoke Trump’s recent conviction on 34 felony counts in New York related to the cover-up of Trump’s “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Since the conviction, Trump has reportedly enjoyed a massive influx of […]
Colorado’s legislators returned to the Capitol yesterday, answering the Governor’s call for a special session to address skyrocketing property taxes following voters rejection of Prop HH. Progressives criticized the initiative in part for offering insufficient aid to the third of Coloradans who rent rather than own. In the first hearing of the session, House legislators […]
(Why make laws when it’s more fun to break them? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Welcome to For The Record, the Colorado Times Recorder’s new series where you can hear public figures in their own words. We’ll give you the clip and the context, so can listen for yourself. Speaking on a right-wing Christian podcast […]
As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, of the whole pack of minor candidates trying to self-fund and rabblerouse themselves to prominence in the Republican U.S. Senate primary, wealthy businessrando Gino Campana has worked harder than any of them to publicly align himself with Donald Trump—trumpeting the MAGA world luminaries who […]
A press release from the surging Diane Mitsch Bush for Congress campaign marks the next step in her increasingly determined bid to win Colorado’s Third Congressional District: a TV ad buy that should saturate media in this mostly rural and small media market district: Today, candidate for Colorado’s Third Congressional District Diane Mitsch Bush announced […]
As the Colorado Independent’s Robin Bravender reports, vulnerable 2020 Republicans including Colorado’s own Sen. Cory Gardner are banding together in a new “pro-environment” coalition they’re calling Roosevelt Conservation Caucus–named of course after Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, not Teddy’s socialist cousin: The kickoff of the Roosevelt Conservation Caucus comes after President Trump gave a speech this […]
(An unkind cut – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After The Denver Post declared this month that its 2014 endorsement of U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) was a big mistake, former Post owner Dean Singleton got a call from Gardner himself. “After the editorial ran, he called me, just to chat,” Singleton told the Colorado Times […]
As Westword reports today, the oil and gas industry is spending a positively obscene amount of money on the 2018 election in Colorado: More than one in five dollars donated to all campaigns and political groups in state races in 2018 has been a direct contribution from a fossil fuel corporation. [Pols emphasis] And that sum does […]
As the Denver Post’s Jon Murray reports: Democrat Jena Griswold avoided a primary contest last week, and now the secretary of state candidate has found a use for most of the money she saved: a big October TV ad buy that ensures voters will see plenty of her in the election’s final weeks. Griswold on […]
The Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins posts a significant update in the Democratic gubernatorial primary–former Sen. Mike Johnston, whose campaign has been primarily bankrolled by out-of-state interests backing his controversial stands on education, is pulling out of the Democratic state assembly process: Former State Sen. Mike Johnston today let Democratic Party officials know he won’t be […]
Denver7 recaps a big story from last week that no one who follows Colorado politics should be happy about–new layoffs in The Denver Post’s newsroom that are certain to further reduce both the quality and quantity of local political journalism: The news broke Wednesday that the largest newspaper in Colorado would lose about 30 percent […]
Owning a gun is a very big responsibility. Therefore, you must always take is very seriously. It is imperative that you keep your gun in a safe when you are not using it. There are a number of reasons for this. First of all, you want to prevent it from being stolen by a burglar. […]
A carefully-staged photo from Rep. Mike Coffman yesterday could have you believing he might possibly be something other than a “hard yes” on the final version of GOP tax cut legislation released by the conference committee between the U.S. House and Senate late last week: Rep. Coffman reviewing #HR1 this afternoon. If you haven’t yet, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Multiple former and current Republican state lawmakers fell for fake news reports that claimed the shooter who killed 26 people inside a Texas church Sunday was connected to Antifa. Former state Sen. Laura Woods of Arvada initially spread the fake news in a Facebook post, which was then “liked” by state […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Two years ago, anti-abortion activists released undercover videos that showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing their program that provides fetal tissue, donated by women who have an abortion or miscarriage, for use in medical research. In the wake of the release of the highly-edited videos, U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) released documents showing […]
As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports, beleaguered GOP U.S. Senate candidate Jon Keyser is up on the air with an ad attacking Sen. Michael Bennet over the Iranian nuclear weapons agreement–well, sort of on the air: The 30-second spot, which debuts Tuesday, emphasizes Keyser’s service as a “military intelligence officer” who conducted urban “capture and […]
(This post was authored by the Your Choice Colorado campaign. – Promoted by Colorado Pols) I’m Russ Novotny, the Liquor Sales Manager for Safeway. I’ve seen Keep Colorado Local’s signs on liquor stores—the ones that claim the sale of real beer and wine in grocery stores would put Colorado breweries out of business. I’m not […]
The Your Choice Colorado campaign kicked off last month, hoping to bypass the gridlocked Colorado General Assembly and take a question directly to voters next year to overturn one of Colorado’s last remaining Prohibition holdovers–the requirement that all alcoholic beverages over 3.2% alcohol content be sold in standalone liquor stores. As the Denver Post reports: A […]
Five years ago, now-Treasurer Walker Stapleton was locked in a tense primary battle against J.J. Ament, son of longtime Colorado political fixture Don Ament. In 2010, more or less all Republican candidates for office were working hard to prove their “Tea Party” mettle, which in practice meant the enthusiastic embrace of a smorgasbord of really extreme ideas–things that […]
Freshman Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado unveiled his long-awaited proposal to make oral contraceptives available over the counter last week, nominally keeping a major campaign promise but opening himself to new criticism as the details of his plan are unpacked by experts. Last Friday, Lynn Bartels at the Denver Post highlighted the objections of the American Congress […]
When Republican Libby Szabo announced in January that she would resign from the State House in order to fill a vacancy on the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners, she was roundly criticized; the editorial board of the Denver Post said Szabo was “thumbing her nose at voters” by resigning her seat just two months after winning re-election […]
UPDATE: The conservative Daily Caller helps roll out the new female-friendly Ken Buck: Buck promises this video is merely be the first in a series of maybe ten, or so, he will release. And although they’re too long to air on TV in their current format, “at some point in time,” he avers, “parts of these […]
