Smashing Gov. Polis In Effigy With Sheriff Reams

Last weekend, as nobody reported because why would they, Republican Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams held a re-election fundraiser “car show” in Fort Lupton–where he was joined by sputtering GOP candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl and a few dozen variably “classic” cars in widely assorted stages of restoration. But of all the cars at Sheriff […]

This week, some of the biggest names from ex-President Donald Trump’s failed legal campaign to overturn the results of the 2020 election are defending themselves in Denver District Court from a defamation lawsuit filed by Eric Coomer–a former employee of Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems baselessly accused by a local election conspiracy theorist of plotting with […]

Ganahl Dumps Campaign Manager As Guv Bid Sputters

9NEWS political reporter Marshall Zelinger with a scoop via Twitter this afternoon that Republicans hoping against hope to retake the Colorado governor’s office in 2022 don’t want to hear: NEW: Tiffany Coolidge, campaign manager for @heidiganahl, will be leaving the campaign at the end of the month.

Anybody Else Want to be a Republican U.S. Senate Candidate?

No, seriously, we’re asking in light of this news from Jesse Paul of The Colorado Sun:   What the hell? Deborah Flora is a talk radio host with 710 KNUS in Denver.

BREAKING: Mesa County Clerk Barred From Election Duties

Three of Colorado Republicans’ 2021 Awardees Are Election Fraud Conspiracists

(The Big Lie litmus test – Promoted by Colorado Pols) At the annual Colorado GOP Awards Banquet, held last month in Pueblo, the state party gave its top awards to Republicans who have fostered debunked conspiracy theories about how the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.

When The Chart Doesn’t Help, Eli Bremer Edition

A fundraising email this week from Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eli Bremer raised some eyebrows this week for employing a visual aid that didn’t exactly help convey the intended message: Violent Crime cases have hit a 25-year high in Colorado – and, quite frankly, who’s surprised? What else will it take, Colorado? When will we […]

Boebert Blows Columbus Day In Pueblo

As the Pueblo Chieftain’s newest political reporter Lacey Latch reports, yesterday was another chance for GOP freshman Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert to win hearts and minds in what’s set to remain the foremost Democratic stronghold in the Third Congressional District–in particular Pueblo’s blue-collar working-class flavor of Democratic politics that a few deft Republicans have been […]

Diary of a Bonkers Press Conference in Mesa County

Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters and right-wing activist person Sheronna Bishop (who was also Lauren Boebert’s 2020 campaign manager) stood in front of the steps of the Mesa County Courthouse on Monday morning for a “press conference” to explain more about why Peters shouldn’t have to worry about being under investigation by four […]

Colorado Dems Slam Ganahl Over Dennis Prager’s Nuttery

A press release from Colorado Democrats rebuts yesterday’s campaign event featuring Republican candidate for governor Hiedi Heidi Ganahl and longtime conservative “culture warrior” Dennis Prager–in which, as we’re just catching up with today, Prager had some remarkably divisive things to say: Sunday afternoon, Heidi Ganahl held a campaign event with right wing extremist Dennis Prager, […]

A Few Dozen Anti-Vaxxers Anti-Vaxx With Themselves

The much-ballyhooed Colorado Freedom of Choice Rally yesterday, a protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates becoming increasingly prevalent throughout society from employers to entertainment venues, attracted a crowd that–sorry to say–will not be sufficient to launch the glorious anti-vaxxer revolution. But even in a state where a solid majority support vaccine mandates for health care and […]

I Before E, Except After C

Unless of course your name is H-E-I-D-I, because that’s an exception too!

“Divisive Questions”–Ganahl Disavows GOP Chair’s Militia Group

UPDATE: Colorado GOP chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown responds as carefully as she may in today’s Unaffiliated newsletter by the Colorado Sun: “I briefly accepted a role with FEC United where I was never paid and no contract was signed,” Burton Brown said in a statement to The Colorado Sun. “It was my understanding that FEC’s […]

Last-Minute Treachery Threatens Redistricting Independence

As Colorado’s Independent Redistricting process nears its conclusion, the “independent” piece might be getting left behind in the final chaotic hours.

That map had its supporters and its detractors, but it seemed to be a […]

Denver Abortion Clinic Sees 500% Increase in Texas Patients

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Texans are flocking to Planned Parenthood clinics in Colorado after an abortion ban went into effect in Texas last month.
