Health Care, Epstein Impasses Shut Down House For Another Week

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 […]

Don’t Look Now But Jeff Crank’s Challenger Raised A Pile Of Cash

Actually, as Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, go ahead and look because it’s objectively newsworthy: Colorado Springs Democrat Jessica Killin, an Army veteran and former chief of staff to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, raised more than $1 million in the initial quarter of her campaign to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. […]

Boebert’s Candidate for Governor Brings New Marxism to Colorado

The Republican field of candidates for a race they can’t possibly win continues to grow. The latest GOP contender to join the race for Governor in 2026 is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s handpicked candidate: A “ministry leader” named Victor Marx who seems to spend most of his time staring off contemplatively into the distance. In addition […]

Gang That Can’t Rule Straight Spoils Wannabe Political Starlet’s Debut

As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, Republicans in Colorado House District 14 got a few days ahead of themselves in convening to appoint a replacement for suddenly resigned House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese, and by breaking the rule requiring ten days’ notice before doing the deed, they’ve imperiled the accession of gun rights advocate […]

Shutdown Bonus for Trump: No (Official) Bad Employment Numbers

The government shutdown does have at least one political benefit for President Trump: At least he won’t have to explain more terrible job numbers. As NBC News reports, employment is heading in the wrong direction: U.S. companies shed 32,000 jobs in September, according to the payroll processing company ADP, a surprising decline that adds to […]

Another Stupid Republican Recall Sputters Out

As Cassandra Ballard reports for the Aurora Sentinel, Aurora’s headline-hoarding far-right city councillor Danielle Jurnisky’s latest cry for attention, a recall campaign she initiated against Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden, will not move forward after Jurinsky and her usual-suspect GOP attorney Suzanne Taheri informed the Secretary of State that they don’t have the signatures: […]

Trump Uses Government Websites to Blame “Radical Left” for Shutdown

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 […]

Aurora City Council Campaign Rally Embraces Right-Wing Rhetoric

(Nonpartisan no more — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Municipal elections in Aurora are supposed to be non-partisan, but while Aurora’s elections are many things, non-partisan is not one of them. Last week, Aurora City Councillor Danielle Jurinsky and her slate of Republican-backed candidates held a rally at the […]

Republicans Play Weakest Ever Shutdown Blame Game

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 […]

Where Is Gabe Evans Pulling These Crazy Numbers?

As the Greeley Tribune’s Tyler Duncan reports, it’s another case of America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans making an astonishing claim that left us momentarily speechless: “Energy security is national security,” Evans said. “Energy security fuels our economy, which fuels our ability to manufacture and make things. That fuels our position as the global leader […]

Ain’t No Party Like a Colorado Republican Party

As we’ve long documented in this space, the Colorado Republican Party may theoretically exist for the purpose of defeating Democrats, but its members truly love nothing more than a messy internal fight. The latest bout of nonsense (pun intended) took place in Aurora on Saturday. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as […]

Colorado election 2025: Voters to decide two ballot measures on free school meals

(Republished under Creative Commons License by Colorado Pols) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline September 29, 2025 Colorado voters will be asked this fall to weigh in on two ballot measures concerning the state’s free school meals program, the only statewide contests in the 2025 off-year election. Propositions LL and MM were referred to the ballot […]

Republican Candidate For Governor Would Secede All Over Again

Back in 2022, GOP Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer was running for Congress in Colorado’s then brand-new and closely divided CO-08 with no apologies about one of the wackier points in her long record in elected office representing deep red Weld County, helping organize in 2013 a proposal for Weld and several other lightly-populated rural Colorado counties […]

A Few More Words About That Bipartisan Criminal Competency Law

As 9NEWS’ Jeremy Jojola reports, there’s been a new development in an ongoing case out of Weld County that, since we discussed the political misuse of this case previously, we are obliged to also update: Two weeks after the release from jail of a man whom law enforcement called dangerous, that man is back in […]

New House Minority Leader Faceplants in First Week

House Republicans in Colorado selected freshman Rep. Jarvis Caldwell (R-Monument) as their new Minority Leader last Saturday, surely hoping that he could do a better job than Rose Pugliese, the previous “Leader” who threw a tantrum and resigned from the legislature 10 days ago. The early returns are not encouraging. Pugliese was an absolute mess […]

“Both Ways Barb” Kirkmeyer Earns Her Nickname Again

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 […]

CO Libertarians Say New House GOP Leader Unconcerned by Their Exec Director’s Belief in Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory About Kirk’s Murder

(It’s not the Libertarian Party you remember — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder The Libertarian Party of Colorado’s Executive Director Jim Wiley believes that the Israeli government is responsible for murdering Charlie Kirk. Wiley repeatedly made this claim as well as a series of other antisemitic statements in his public […]

Busted On The Take, And Don’t Call Tom Homan Safe Yet

Over the weekend, MSNBC broke the latest problematic news for the “most transparent administration in American history”–a story that in any other administration would have ended in federal bribery charges, but because border czar Tom Homan is tight with Donald Trump, no such legal oversight apparently applies: The federal investigation was launched in western Texas […]

House Republicans Select Noob Jarvis Caldwell as New Minority Leader

Colorado House Republicans on Saturday selected Rep. Jarvis Caldwell (R-Monument) to be their new Minority Leader following last week’s surprise resignation of Rep. Rose Pugliese (R-Colorado Springs). The House Republican caucus met over Zoom on Saturday morning to choose their new Minority Leader. Caldwell received 12 votes, with fellow Reps. Larry Don Suckla (R-Montezuma County) […]

Republicans Unleash Friendly Fire While Spinning Latest “Crimenado”

This week, as CBS4 Denver’s Republican-friendly political correspondent Shaun Boyd reports, three out of the four Republican members of the state’s congressional delegation sent a letter to Gov. Jared Polis, accompanied by a Zoom press call last night, blasting Colorado Democrats for their supposed “soft on crime” policies, and calling for a second special session […]

Incumbent Primary Hopes Spring Eternal

As Colorado Newsline’s Lindsey Toomer reports, Democratic CU Regent Wanda James is launching a primary challenge to unseat the “Dean of the Colorado delegation,” nearly 30-year veteran Rep. Diana DeGette of deep navy blue CO-01: “The old politics of caution and careerism cannot meet the moment,” James’ campaign website says. “America needs leaders who see […]

Jimmy Kimmel Shutdown Directly Related to Potential 9News Sale

UPDATE: As David Sims writes for The Atlantic, Kimmel’s indefinite suspension marks a significant escalation for Trumpland: There have already been signs that President Donald Trump’s administration is intent on punishing perceived critics in the media, no matter what complaints about free speech might arise, but the chain of events that shut down Jimmy Kimmel […]

Rep. Jeff Hurd Casts Deciding Vote To Save Ilhan Omar From Censure

As Politico reports, another moment of high manufactured drama from the ever-melodramatic Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina fizzled out yesterday afternoon, as a resolution fast-tracked by Rep. Mace to censure and strip of all committee assignments Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota over Omar’s remarks about deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk failed by a single […]

The Best of the Worst is Still Pretty Bad

One month from tomorrow, a Northern Colorado Republican group will host a candidate forum featuring 15 people seeking the GOP nomination for Governor in 2026. We only recognize about half of the names advertised for the October 18th event, but they all have one thing in common… None of them are going to be the […]

Former State Senate Prez Running for Colorado Treasurer

(The stache is back — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Fremont County Commissioner Kevin Grantham is running for state Treasurer. The longtime public official also served in the Colorado state Senate from 2011 – 2019. During his time in the legislature, Grantham was a member of the Joint Budget […]
