UPDATE: Jesse Paul of The Colorado Sun makes the same point about unserious Republicans in the legislature: —– We knew it was coming after Congressional Republicans passed President Trump’s “big, beautiful, bullshit budget bill” last month, and here it is: Another special legislative session. As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post: For the third […]
Democrats continue to push for more information about the “Epstein files” that the Trump administration is desperate to ignore. According to a press release from the office of Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver): U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet along with 21 of their Senate Democratic colleagues introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act to direct the Department […]
There’s a famous quote that is often used in discussing water issues in Colorado: “Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting.” Colorado’s water laws are uniquely complicated, owing in large part to the fact that some 40 million people in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California rely on water from the Colorado River to […]
We don’t normally find much credible to cite over at the conservative website Complete Colorado, once colloquially known as Colorado Drudge before the world forgot who Matt Drudge ever was, but a story from the weekend by right-wing paid poison pen Sherrie Peif did catch our attention–a piece ostensibly reporting on, but without much subtlety […]
Republicans in Washington have had what can best be described as a fraught relationship with nonpartisan bean-counting authorities like the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) going back many years. Back in 2017, when the then-GOP majority during President Donald Trump’s first term was trying and failing to repeal the Affordable Care Act, then-Sen. Cory Gardner asked […]
Rolling Stone kicked off the week with new polling numbers that will sour even President Donald Trump’s Diet Coke-leathered innards: Americans are overwhelmingly skeptical of Donald Trump‘s handling of information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. In a new UMass Amherst national poll, 70 percent of respondents said Trump is not handling the Epstein case […]
The New York Times reports this fine Friday afternoon just in case you’re still paying attention: Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein now serving a 20-year prison sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing teenage girls, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to minimum-security prison camp in Texas, her lawyer said […]
CNBC reports while you nervously check that 401(k): Stocks were under pressure on Friday to kick off August trading as investors weighed stark signs of a weakening economy and President Donald Trump’s modified tariff rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 607 points, or 1.3%. The S&P 500 shed 1.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped […]
(Follow-up to last week’s gaslighting — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder A spokesman for the Weld Food Bank says they made it clear to Congressman Gabe Evans (R-CO) that the Medicaid and SNAP food aid cuts in the budget he supported will make their lines longer, not shorter. Evans […]
After narrowly losing the recent election for Colorado Republican Party vice-chair to former Rep. Richard Holtorf, Douglas County Republican activist and donor of some significance Mark Hampton (no, not the husband of actress Christina Ricci) remains displeased with that result and the general direction of the state party, explaining his loss to the also dissentious […]
Today, Colorado General Assembly leaders met at the Capitol to get reports on the expected impact to Colorado’s budget this year from passage of the Republican federal budget reconciliation bill: a budget that was balanced during this year’s session as required by the state constitution, now coming up short by an estimated billion dollars as […]
With the state of Texas diving into a mid-decade redistricting exercise intended to boost Republicans in Congress by as many as five seats or more during a special session ostensibly convening to address devastating floods in the state, Democrats with a mind to stop bringing knives to gun fights are considering retaliatory redistricting efforts of […]
Colorado’s leading high-budget Republican astroturf group, the Koch-funded Americans For Prosperity, is running an outreach campaign following the passage of President Donald Trump’s “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget bill–not trying to win over public opinion on this historically unpopular piece of legislation, but demanding that the Colorado legislature not convene a special session […]
The Denver Post’s Seth Klamann updates on an unpleasant story we’ve been following in the Colorado House, after a failed bid by Republican Rep. Ron Weinberg to be the next House Minority Whip exposed longstanding sexual harassment allegations against Weinberg dating to before his service in the House. Fellow Republican Rep. Brandi Bradley further alleged […]
(Republished by Colorado Pols under Creative Commons license) by Andrew Fraieli, Colorado Newsline July 26, 2025 Governors from across the country played host to a variety of health conspiracy theories in Colorado Springs on Saturday, as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expounded on his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative in a […]
As 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports from this weekend’s meeting of the National Governors Association (NGA) meeting at the Phil Anschutz-owned Broadmoor international swank zone in Colorado Springs, there’s good news and bad news to report on the matter of millions of dollars in education funds recently frozen by the Trump administration, who questioned whether the […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reported Friday on new National Journal rankings of the top 2026 U.S. House races, and with the exception of Rep. Don Bacon’s opening swing seat in Nebraska the hottest race in America is expected to be Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District, where MAGA faithful freshman Rep. Gabe […]
Embed from Getty Images A major story that broke last week in the Washington Post and then significantly expanded upon by the Denver Post last Friday has gone mostly quiet this week, but that could just be temporary as questions continue to swirl about Jeff Small, a principal with the Republican consultant firm 76 Group […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: The White House is very sad about this, as The Denver Post reports: Though many of Trump’s real-world policies and actions were spotlighted in the show – such as defunding National Public Radio, implementing tariffs on Canadian goods, and expressing displeasure with a portrait of himself in the Colorado State Capitol – the […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, one of the state’s well-funded conservative advocacy groups has teamed up with a presumptive Republican candidate for governor to jam Colorado’s Democratic-controlled majority in their attempt to reduce the harm from the recently-passed “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill: A conservative advocacy group and a […]
Today is “Colorado Day,” which we admittedly didn’t know was a thing for the other 148 instances in which it has occurred. According to a press release from the office of Gov. Jared Polis: Today, Governor Polis announced the return of Celebrate Colorado, a week-long, statewide celebration of everything Colorado. August 1st marks the 149th anniversary […]
On Tuesday, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ GOP Rep. Gabe Evans was interviewed by veteran Colorado Public Radio reporter Bente Birkeland on a variety of subjects including the Republican budget bill signed into law earlier this month by President Donald Trump–a bill that Evans has struggled to defend with constituents in his closely-divided district, thousands of […]
President Trump has been trying really hard to stop Republicans from talking about Jeffrey Epstein and his now-confirmed appearance in the Epstein files that his administration recently tried to claim don’t actually exist. But Trump’s demands that House Speaker Mike Johnson basically shut down Congress a week early were not completely successful. As The Washington Post […]
As NBC News reports, in addition to Donald Trump ordering the MAGA faithful to forget that a man named Jeffrey Epstein ever existed, the administration has opened a new diversionary front in their increasingly desperate attempts to change the subject–wild-eyed allegations of “treason” from Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, former quasi-Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, against […]
You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to have concluded after the last few weeks that the name “Donald J. Trump” absolutely appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files — you know, the files that Attorney General Pam Bondi and the rest of the Trump administration have suddenly been claiming don’t even exist. It didn’t require […]
