(The many, many faces of Heidi Ganahl — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Indicating that she may be pro-choice when it comes to state policy on abortion, even though she is personally pro-life, the leading Republican candidate for governor in Colorado says may not sign an abortion-ban bill if it landed on her desk as governor, […]

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Marc Sallinger documents a rare backpedal from arch-conservative Weld County Commissioners: Commissioner Scott James told 9NEWS that Weld County will continue posting information about vaccines on social media, reversing a stance the commission took during a Nov. 24 meeting. “I had made a comment in a public meeting about how I was […]

Listen to previous episodes of The […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports: State Rep. Dave Williams, a hard-line and sometimes-controversial Republican, launched a primary bid Tuesday to unseat longtime U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn. “Lamborn’s lack of effective leadership and compromised integrity have cost our community dearly over the last 15 years,” Williams said in a written statement announcing his campaign… […]
Once considered a rising star on the Colorado Republican bench, State Rep. Matt Soper of Delta County kicked off his term in office with a residency scandal after winning the election in 2018, then further sullied his reputation by coming out as a Dominion Voting Systems election conspiracy theorist caught red-handed trying to meddle in […]

Assuming it hasn’t already been emailed or shared with you, a must-read new in-depth report from the Denver Post’s Alex Burness this weekend shows how the Colorado Republican Party’s ongoing flirtation with violent extremism and departure from small-d democratic principles in the wake of Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 elections is shaking the party […]
UPDATE: Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson: “I could go into the thousands of phone calls and text messages and emails from people throughout the district that have reached out to me to take a look at it,” Coram said in an interview. “The fact is I have a very solid record as a moderate who is […]
While we’re all still waiting to see what (if anything) Congressional leaders will do to address Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert’s disgusting anti-Muslim rhetoric, we can at least report that an ethics hearing into another Colorado Member of Congress is moving forward. The light will remain shining on accusations facing perhaps the dimmest bulb in Congress, […]
We wrote back in March that Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas was plotting a run for Congress as the Republican candidate in CO-06, where Democratic Rep. Jason Crow has been firmly entrenched since knocking off Mike Coffman in 2018. Thomas was never going to beat Crow, even before the new congressional redistricting maps created a […]
CNN updates as the fallout from Colorado freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s series of falsehood-laden slurs against Rep. Ilhan Omar, which included the completely bogus suggestion that Capitol Police are afraid of Omar as a potential terrorist threat, continues to spread: The House is planning to advance Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s legislation to create a […]
(The new line — Promoted by Colorado Pols) A linguistic pattern has emerged among Colorado GOP candidates who say our state’s 2020 election was legitimate but refuse to denounce the baseless accusation that the presidential election was stolen by Biden. Instead of revealing if they think the presidential election was fair, they simply say they […]
Last weekend, Colorado Newsline’s Chase Woodruff reported on remarks by Joe Oltmann, the founder of leading far-right conservative organizing group FEC United which includes among assets at its disposal the armed militia group known as the United American Defense Force (UADF). On Oltmann’s “Conservative Daily” podcast, Oltmann called out some 19 U.S. Senators by name […]

A holiday photo posted by hard-right Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky has provoked plenty of discussion in recent days: Merry Christmas! 🎄 ps. Santa, please bring ammo. 🎁 pic.twitter.com/NVawULhCNr — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 4, 2021 Rep. Massie himself appears to be holding an M-60 machine gun, which although (believe it or not) not […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: As predicted below, Boebert is is playing the victim in response: —– UPDATE: The publisher of the Montrose Daily Press and the Delta County Independent also recently called for Boebert’s ouster in 2022. —– The Durango Herald today published one of the more scathing editorials about a local politician that we’ve ever seen in our […]
UPDATE: Aurora Sentinel editor Dave Perry laments: If you’ve been envious of the political spectacle that Republican Congressperson Lauren Boebert has inflicted on Colorado’s Western Slope and the U.S. House of Representatives, you’re gonna love the new show at A-Town’s City Hall… I can imagine that if I were a city staffer or lawmaker forced […]
As the Washington Post’s Mariana Alfaro reports, conservative Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas, considered a bridge between the Republican Party’s corporate and far-right ideological wings, lashed out over the weekend against Rep. Lauren Boebert’s House Freedom Caucus in exasperation over, Crenshaw’s words, “Lie after lie after lie.” “Lie after lie after lie, because they […]
Despite any evidence having emerged after a year of counts, recounts, audits, and endless second-guessing both with and without a clue that the 2020 presidential election was not legitimately won by Joe Biden, as readers know a large percentage of Republican Party rank-and-file have now accepted this falsehood as truth–and will most likely go to […]
Colorado will gain a new Congressional seat in 2022. There is no shortage of interested candidates. Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann became the fourth Republican to file paperwork for a CO-08 bid today, joining State Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine, and purple-haired lady Jewels Gray as official candidates in Colorado’s newest congressional district. […]
We’ve been meaning to take note of an interesting bit of Republican consultant recycling taking place in Pennsylvania in the 2022 election cycle. As you may have seen, Mehmet Oz, better known as celebrity television physician “Dr. Oz,” is seeking the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania next year (a state in which […]
Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl got off to a rough start when she launched her campaign for governor in September, repeatedly stumbling over the very simple question of whether or not the 2020 Presidential election was legitimate. Ganahl has since tried different variations of an answer to questions about the “Big Lie,” recently seeming to settle […]
The Washington Post’s Amy Wang updates on the continuing fallout from freshman GOP rhetorical arsonist Rep. Lauren Boebert’s implication that fellow Rep. Ilhan Omar could be a suicide bomber, which included an apparently fictional story suggesting that U.S. Capitol Police themselves view Rep. Omar as a security risk–outrageous enough to force an almost unheard-of apology […]
