Warning: Ron Hanks’ Videos Will Get You Banned From YouTube

Last October, we uploaded to our Youtube account a copy of U.S. Senate candidate Ron Hanks’ campaign kickoff video–the video made famous by its ending in which Hanks detonates an old copy machine labeled “DOMINION VOTING MACHINE” with a rifle shot after laying out his case that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald […]

Election Hardware Tampering: Not Just Mesa County Anymore!

As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, we have a second admitted case now of a Republican Colorado county clerk tampering with election system hardware manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems as part of the never-ending fruitless quest to prove the conclusion they have already reached and are working back from by any means necessary: that […]

The Opening? Williams Hammers Lamborn Over Ethics Complaint

Yesterday, the U.S. House Committee on Ethics released a report on allegations of misconduct against Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado compiled by the similarly-named but operationally distinct Office of Congress Ethics that affirms a number of the charges against Lamborn regarding misuse of office staff and resources, including allegations that Lamborn allowed his son to […]

Ballot Access Fight Kicks Off for GOP Senate Candidates

The Republican candidates for U.S. Senate (most of them, anyway) will gather tonight for a candidate forum at Colorado Christian University. Tonight’s event, moderated by Colorado Republican Party Chair Kristi Burton Brown, could include some interesting fireworks as contenders try to wrestle the spotlight away from State Rep. Ron Hanks (R-Cañon City). As Ernest Luning […]

Would You Like a Shovel, Mister Minority Leader?

The 2022 session of the Colorado General Assembly kicked off earlier this month, and before the opening gavel even sounded the Republican mini-minority in the House signaled that the session was not going to be characterized by bipartisan good will. Hosted by Denver talk radio junior varsity commentator Jimmy Sengenberger for a pre-session interview, House […]

Heidi the Hypocrite: What you can do to fight for progress this week (January 24)

Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. As you may have seen in the news this weekend, right-wing CU Regent Heidi Ganahl announced she’s running for governor of Colorado. But wait, you ask. Didn’t that already happen? And the answer is, yes it did! But Ganahl’s first launch of her campaign last September was such […]

Lamborn Ethics Investigation Moves Forward(er)

Things aren’t looking great for Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs), who is facing an ethics committee investigation and a separate lawsuit related to some pretty serious allegations of creating a toxic workplace environment. That’s the word from Chris Marquette, Congressional ethics and accountability reporter for CQ Roll Call. We’re inclined to take Marquette’s word on […]

Defending The Indefensible (Again) With Wayne Laugesen

As longtime readers know, the editorial section of the arch-conservative Colorado Springs Gazette, which has extended its editorial footprint northward with the launch of the like-minded Denver Gazette, has a reputation for making laughably strained cases in defense of favored Republican politicians, ballot initiative campaigns, and luminaries near and far. During the 2018 governor’s race, […]

Don Coram Isn’t Taking Lauren Boebert’s Crap Lying Down

Ten days ago, freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s campaign launched a wildly negative pre-emptive attack on her newly-filed primary opponent state Sen. Don Coram, broadcasting early her campaign’s well-grounded fear of a qualified Republican opponent. Much to the delight of Boebert’s detractors, Coram has demonstrated in this initial exchange of rhetorical fire that he has […]

Ron Hanks is a Monster of the GOP’s Own Creation

Colorado Republicans are nervous about Ron Hanks. They should be. Hanks, the state representative from Cañon City, has become the center of gravity in the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. That’s not good for Colorado Republicans, and many in the State GOP are well aware of the problem. Again, they should be […]

Anyone Left To Offend? Lauren Boebert Just Can’t Help Herself

Media outlets in Israel overnight picked up on a Buzzfeed story yesterday, documenting an encounter in a U.S. Capitol elevator between freshman GOP controversy vortex Rep. Lauren Boebert and a group of Orthodox Jews on a tour of the building that…well, read it for yourself: Members of the group, which was meeting with Rep. Tom […]

Workers Claim Victory as King Soopers Strike Ends

UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark: Both UFCW's Kim Cordova and King Soopers President Joe Kelley told me that the strike was having an impact on contract negotiations. That's an undeniable victory for UFCW Local 7, which didn't have to stay out for all the originally-announced three weeks. https://t.co/KTfgZBG3Ix — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) January 21, 2022 —– […]

Cool Story, But YOU VOTED AGAINST THAT

UPDATE: It looks like Boebert already did it, taking credit for $77.5 million in federal grants “benefiting CO-03”.   —– Last summer we wrote about federal funding “earmarks,” also known as “Member Designated Projects” and “Community Project Funding Requests,” that included an oft-quoted graphic showing how Republicans in Colorado’s congressional delegation were responsible for all […]

Deadly Insurrection: It’s All One Big Joke To Jenna Ellis

As Colorado Newsline’s Julia Fennell reported yesterday, former Colorado Christian University “constitutional law professor” Jenna Ellis, who gained nationwide fame as one of the principal faces of ex-President Donald Trump’s legal team challenging the results in dozens of failed lawsuits across the country, has been subpoenaed by the Select Committee investigating the January 6th, 2021 […]

Dahlkemper Won’t Run in CO-07; Path Clear for Pettersen

The dominoes continue to fall in the wake of Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s surprise retirement announcement earlier this month — and they keep falling in favor of State Sen. Brittany Pettersen (D-Lakewood). As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: Jefferson County Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper has decided against running for the […]

MAGA Candidates Drop Craziest Anti-Abortion Bill Yet

Against the backdrop of the 6-3 conservative U.S. Supreme Court hearing arguments in cases that could well mean the overturning of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision guaranteeing abortion rights for all Americans, Republicans in the Colorado General Assembly are back in 2022 with an assortment of anti-abortion bills. Former House Minority Leader Patrick Neville […]

CD-8 Contender Kirkmeyer Jumps On Anti-Abortion Bill

For the second year in a row, GOP Rep. Stephanie Luck representing Otero along with portions of Fremont, and Pee-ebla Counties is the prime sponsor of legislation just introduced into the Colorado House that would require doctors to supply data on every abortion in Colorado to a new database set up by the state. Failure […]

Time To Pull Clerk Tina Peters’ Card

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, facing multiple criminal investigations into potential state and federal law violations related to the theft and distribution of proprietary voting machine data, may soon be permanently relieved of the job of overseeing elections in Mesa County: About the same time the Mesa […]

Republicans Have Some “Different Facts” on Wearing Masks

As The Colorado Sun explains in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter, Republicans are back to arguing about the definition of a “fact” as they continue their incessant whining about mean people making them wear something over their nose and mouth during a global pandemic: Republicans in the House on Friday, the third day of this year’s lawmaking […]

Down The Rabbit Hole With Rep. Ron Hanks

UPDATE: Ron Hanks is the center of gravity in the Republican race for U.S. Senate, and it’s not just our opinion: Hanks ran away with the only straw poll so far taken at a primary forum, he’s the only GOP #cosen candidate to appear on national cable this month, and as demonstrated today he’s the […]

Yet Another Sad Trombone for Heidi Ganahl

As readers of this blog are well aware, we have regularly labeled the gubernatorial campaign of Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl as the worst campaign for governor in the entire country. For her part, Ganahl has been very helpful in cementing that argument through her own campaign #FAILs. Ganahl’s gubernatorial campaign quietly filed its Q4 2021 […]

Top Ten Stories of 2021 #2: Colorado’s Disproportionate Role In The Coup

Ex-President Donald Trump promised repeatedly on the campaign trail in 2020 that he would only accept the results of an election he won. That was just one of many clear signals sent by Trump and his movement in 2020 that the only acceptable outcome of the election would be a Trump victory, which as readers […]
