Blockbuster allegations coming to light today in the New York Times that could shake apart the fragile peace between Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and the fractious crew he’d like to continue leading as Speaker of the House in 2023 if Republicans prevail this November–but more likely not after ex-President Donald Trump and the […]
After multiple rounds of discussion, we have at last reached the end of our quest to crown the WORST major campaign in Colorado in this century. According to our completely non-scientific poll of readers, the championship of this crappy tournament came down to two former campaigns for Governor: Bob Beauprez in 2006 and Dan Maes […]
Following a story that’s been on slow-burn for some weeks now, the Colorado Democratic Party sent out a release today slamming Republican attorney general candidate John Kellner for letting Holly Kluth, a Republican candidate for Douglas County Sheriff and nearly-maxed out campaign donor to Kellner, skate after investigators recommended charges of official misconduct: After troubling […]
Two years ago today, Republican Rep. Scott Tipton was assumed to be cruising to another term in a solidly-Republican district in CO-03. In April 2020, there was little reason to think that unknown upstart Lauren Boebert could pose a serious challenge to the six-term Congressman from Cortez. Two months later, Boebert would go on to […]
Earlier this month, local media outlets took note of a rather odd vote in the House of Representatives: Colorado delegation on resolution supporting NATO: Boebert (R) N Buck (R) N Crow (D) Y DeGette (D) Y Lamborn (R) Y Neguse (D) Y Perlmutter (D) Y#copolitics https://t.co/yyMAn3BDXJ — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) April 5, 2022 To […]
As Colorado Newsline reports, Colorado’s hardest-trying edgelord in the Colorado House of Representatives, Rep. Dave Williams, just pulled the world’s least clever press stunt masquerading as a court case: Williams, a state representative who is running in Colorado’s 5th congressional district to unseat incumbent Rep. Doug Lamborn, wants his name to appear as “Dave ‘Let’s […]
We noted earlier today that you might want to be particularly nice to transportation workers in the near future after a federal mask mandate was overturned by a Florida judge. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of the Middle District of Florida ruled on Monday that a federal mask mandate “exceeds the statutory authority of […]
As AP reports via the Colorado Sun, last night the cantankerous, sometimes openly belligerent, and always just kind of silly opponents of the mandate to wear a protective face mask while riding public transportation to protect against infection from COVID-19 appear to have won the argument at long last with the help of a Donald […]
Quarterly fundraising reports for federal campaigns were due by midnight on Friday. Since many of you had signed off for the weekend long before that time, we’ll break down everything you need to know below… U.S. Senate Incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet maintains his sizable fundraising lead over the rest of the field of Senate […]
As Westword’s Michael Roberts reports, the University of Colorado’s Bruce D. Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization, a hotbed of controversy on the state’s flagship public campus for over a decade culminating in the disastrous appointment of 2020 coup mastermind John Eastman in 2020 as the center’s “Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and […]

As readers know, Republican gubernatorial candidate Danielle Neuschwanger is not taking her narrow elimination from the June 28th primary ballot at last Saturday’s state assembly lying down, promising as-yet unspecified next steps to prove she was the victim of some kind of deliberate shenanigans in the delegating voting. Yesterday, Neuschwanger appeared on (who else) leading […]
Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott is the 2022 Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which means it is his job to ensure that Republicans take majority control of the U.S. Senate in 2022. Scott was in Colorado this week to meet with Republicans and pretend to be excited about GOP Senate candidates Ron […]
Although indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’s campaign for Colorado Secretary of State is getting most of the attention, particularly since Peters won top line on the June 28th primary ballot with 60% of the state assembly delegate vote, fellow Republican and former Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson’s own campaign has stayed relatively quiet through […]
After last weekend’s debacle that was the State Republican Party Assembly, only two GOP candidates remain in the race for U.S. Senate: State Rep. Ron Hanks and businessman Joe O’Dea. Differentiating between the two finalists may be a harder task for Republicans than we might have thought. Hanks is the center of gravity in this […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, yesterday afternoon the Secretary of State’s office announced that state Sen. Don Coram’s petitions were approved and he will appear on the June 28th Republican primary ballot in a two-way showdown against freshman GOP trainwreck that keeps on wrecking Rep. Lauren Boebert: State Sen. Don Coram will face incumbent […]
Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) has absolutely no idea what she is talking about when it comes to the Fentanyl issue being discussed at the state legislature this week. Boebert’s confusion will not likely come as a surprise to anyone reading these words, but it is instructive nonetheless. Boebert is off by about 180 […]
As Colorado Newsline reports, Republican gubernatorial candidate Danielle Neuschwanger, who very narrowly missed a spot on the June 28th Republican primary ballot in voting at the Republican Party state assembly last weekend, is vowing to fight results she insists are fraudulent by any means necessary metaphorical and…well, physical: Neuschwanger, a 34-year-old Colorado native and small […]
Today in the Colorado House, intense negotiations are underway over legislation that would tighten penalties for the distribution of the dangerous synthetic opioid drug fentanyl, which has been responsible for a sharp increase in overdose deaths due to the drug’s potency and frequent substitution for other street drugs. CBS4 Denver’s Shaun Boyd reports: Speaker of […]
We’re not even sure what it was specifically in reference to, another culture-war petrol bomb chucked into the Twitterverse by freshman GOP outrage transshipment agent Rep. Lauren Boebert this weekend because, well, it was Saturday: As our readers and anybody who wants to do the Googling to discover knows, there’s a small problem with Boebert […]
As the Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports today, a power play earlier this year by Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann–now running for the Republican nomination in Colorado’s brand-new Eighth Congressional District–is continuing to cause lots of controversy in that northern Denver suburb. Kulmann likes to say in campaign forums that she’s a mayor “in her spare […]
Colorado Republicans spent the weekend in Colorado Springs finalizing candidate positions for various important races in 2022. In case you haven’t heard, the GOP State Assembly did not go well. Here’s what happened… (1) Colorado Media Outlets All Saw the Same Thing Colorado political reporters came to the same obvious conclusion following Saturday’s circus: […]
Saturday’s Republican State assembly was an absolutely EPIC disaster. In their wildest dreams, Democrats couldn’t have hoped for a bigger mess than the one that occurred at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs. The big stories were State Rep. Ron Hanks (U.S. Senate) and Greg Lopez (Governor) capturing first place in their respective races, […]
UPDATE 6:30PM: In a stunning upset, “Election Truther” U.S. Senate candidate Ron Hanks holds all his assembly rivals below the 30% threshold. Say goodbye to Deborah Flora, Gino Campana, Eli Bremer and everybody else except Joe O’Dea who qualified for the ballot via petition: Ron Hanks: 38.96% Deborah Flora: 28.93% Eli Bremer: 14.7% Gino Campana: […]
