U.S. Rep. Joe Schwarz’s campaign filed a nine-point grievance . . . with the FEC against Tim Walberg and the conservative Club for Growth. Tim Walberg still has a lock on the 7th District U.S. House seat despite a broad campaign-finance complaint leveled at him this week by his former primary opponent, analysts say. Walberg […]
Democratic Attorney General candidate Fern O’Brien doesn’t have a lot of money, but she sure doesn’t seem to be spending it particularly well, either. O’Brien is running radio spots on 760 AM – Air America radio. We have nothing against Air America, but the people who are listening to 760 are most likely involved Democrats…which […]
Democrat Cary Kennedy, who is running for state treasurer, should be up on television tomorrow with a huge ad buy (we hear it’s in the range of $300,000). Kennedy and Republican Mark Hillman both accepted the spending limits provision, but Kennedy – ironically, considering the office – did a better job of saving her money […]
As John Ingold reports for the Colorado Sun, yesterday in the U.S. Senate, the vote which had been promised to a faction of Senate Democrats when they caved in to Republican demands to reopen the federal government abandoning their demand for an extension to expiring health insurance premium subsidies took place, and as was fully […]
President Trump has been working really hard trying to convince Americans that the economy is rolling and prices are down and you should stop complaining about the cost of goods because you’re wrong. It’s not working, and Republicans are justifiably getting nervous. As The Washington Post reported on Tuesday: “We inherited the highest prices ever, […]
If right-wing news drivel is your thing, then you’ve got plenty to be excited about in Colorado. We’ve been paying close attention to efforts by right-wing media outlet Nexstar Media Group to buy Tegna and take over 9News in Denver. As we noted in August, if Nexstar’s merger is approved, the company would almost certainly […]
Colorado Republicans are trying so hard to promote their nonsense narrative about unchecked crime in our state that they are refusing to even acknowledge the good work of state and local law enforcement agencies. Officials this week detailed the largest seizure of methamphetamine in state history — including a whopping 733 pounds found in Lakewood […]
Denver7’s Dan Grossman reports on a new proposal from the Trump administration that they claim is intended to alleviate the nationwide housing affordability crisis in which our state is unfortunately a leading indicator. But the solution Trump is proposing sounds like heartbreaking news for everyone except mortgage lenders: The Trump administration is working on a […]
As the Washington Post reports, and if you’re plugged into political news at all you’ve most likely already formed a strong opinion about: Seven Democrats and an independent senator who caucuses with them split with their party to vote for a deal that would pave the way to ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. […]
The federal government shutdown is now officially the longest in U.S. history (surpassing the 2018-19 shutdown also under President Trump’s watch). After Tuesday’s massive election victories, Democrats have new reason to stick to their shutdown narrative about holding the line until Affordable Care Act subsidies are renewed. Republicans, meanwhile, have a new set of terrible […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, President Donald Trump has bestowed his blessing on freshman GOP Rep. Jeff Hurd in his primary contest against former Colorado GOP vice-chair and Caucasian cultural ambassador Hope Scheppelman to continue representing the Lauren Boebert-less Third Congressional District: “Colorado’s […]
The sticker shock on 2026 health insurance costs has arrived, and it’s a doozy. As the federal government shutdown enters a full month with no indication of a deal on the horizon, Republicans are starting to see the problems ahead even as they stonewall efforts by Democrats to extend federal subsides for the Affordable Care […]
UPDATE: As the Denver Post reports: Premiums will double next year for Coloradans who buy their health insurance on the state’s individual market, with higher-income families facing increases of $10,000 or more, the Colorado Division of Insurance announced Monday. [Pols emphasis] Marketplace customers face a double hit this year. The monthly “sticker price” of health […]
As AP’s Josh Funk and Sara Raza report, President Donald Trump’s latest idea to prop up his friend and ideological touchstone President Javier Milei of Argentina, following a $20 billion bailout of Milei’s controversial economic experimentation, is facing hard pushback from Trump’s usual friends in the beef industry–also known as the state of Colorado’s biggest […]
Politico reports that despite an ongoing government shutdown and a backlog of pressing business, the U.S. House will not do anything next week: Johnson said at a news conference earlier Friday that “the House will come back into session and do its work as soon as Chuck Schumer allows us to reopen the government,” referring […]
Republicans and President Trump are trying really, really hard to blame Democrats for the government shutdown that began at 12:01 am today. The Trump administration, in fact, is violating the “Hatch Act” in an attempt to sway public opinion. As CBS News reports: Ahead of Wednesday’s government shutdown, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on […]
As the Washington Post reports, we’re twelve hours and counting down to another shutdown of the federal government, and President Donald Trump via Republican congressional leadership is showing no sign of concession to Democrats in the U.S. Senate they need to pass a continuing resolution: Republicans have proposed keeping the government funded at current levels […]

Here’s what parents need to know […]
State Senator Barb Kirkmeyer (R-Brighton), now a Republican candidate for Governor in 2026, has been dubbed “Both Ways Barb” for her tendency to offer conflicting opinions on a variety of subjects. Kirkmeyer showed again recently how a selective memory of her own political and policy positions continues to get her in trouble. In a recent […]
As Nick Coltrain reports for The Denver Post, Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign promises to lower inflation and the cost of goods have been ignored. Instead, Colorado and the rest of the country on the brink of a recession: Colorado state government faces a continuing dim fiscal picture heading into next year as a slowing economy, […]
Back in June, we took note of a series of photo-op stops by America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans to locations in his district who have been or are about to be negatively impacted by policies of the Trump administration, and in particular the “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill for […]
In the aftermath of Wednesday’s killing of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, there has been an endless stream of irresponsible chatter online (and at Fox News) about “political violence” and the United States reaching a “turning point” on the issue — including some disturbing suggestions […]
As NBC News reports, yesterday was a pretty bad day for Republicans wishing along with President Donald Trump that the unrelenting controversy over the case of deceased pedophile billionaire and former close friend of Trump Jeffrey Epstein would have subsided over the long August congressional recess. It didn’t, and it’s getting worse by the minute: […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports–after taking heat last week for his continuing defense of federal Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. while Kennedy plunges the nation’s public health services into chaos and Kennedy’s demonstrably lying about his intentions regarding vaccine policy during his confirmation hearing, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis took […]
As Marianne Goodland reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, yesterday Colorado lawmakers wrapped up a special session of the Colorado General Assembly primarily focused on overcoming the usual GOP minority delay tactics, and closing the billion-dollar hole opened in the state’s formerly balanced budget by the passage of the “We’re All Going To […]
