UPDATE #2: I’m no expert in political stategery, but you’d think the Friday afternoon right before the 20th anniversary of 9/11 would be a time for a politician to dump unflattering news, not enter a race for governor. #copolitics https://t.co/f5cGrF5Pj9 — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) September 10, 2021 —– UPDATE: It’s official, at 3:00PM on Friday […]
We have finally reached the point in the battle with COVID-19 in which reality takes precedence over politics.

The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul: President Joe Biden will make a stop in Denver on Monday as he travels to three Western states… On Monday, Biden will also travel to Boise, Idaho, where he will visit the National Interagency Fire Center; Sacramento, California, to survey wildfire damage; and Long Beach, California, to participate in an […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog took note of a Tweet yesterday from Rose Pugliese, the Republican former Mesa County commissioner widely expected to run for Secretary of State against Democratic incumbent Jena Griswold, putting the brakes on that speculation–which as we noted a month ago was getting wobbly: “Despite speculation that […]
When we wrote in this space on Tuesday about the new proposed Congressional maps in Colorado, we noted that for all of Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert’s tough talk about taking on Democratic Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) in 2022, the truth was that Boebert wanted nothing to do with this potential matchup. As we noted at […]
This Saturday will mark 20 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks that took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans.

As the Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports, check out what eighteen months of misinformation and bad faith from one side of the aisle while a global pandemic raged has done for American society! Besides 651,000 dead Americans, of course: The head of Jefferson County Public Health pulled the agency’s three COVID-19 vaccination vans off the […]
If you were paying attention to Colorado politics over the weekend, you might have noticed a lot of people running around like they were on fire.

We took note late last week of Georgia GOP freshman freakshow Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s threat to “shut down” telecommunications companies who comply with records preservation requests from the U.S. House Select Committee investigating violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. The Select Committee issued a request for records to be preserved pertaining to […]
As Denver7’s Stephanie Butzer reports, an important gun safety bill passed in the 2021 session of the Colorado General Assembly takes effect today: the Isabella Joy Thallas Act requiring gun owners whose weapons are lost or stolen to report that loss within 5 days of becoming aware of it: The Isabella Joy Thallas Act, which […]
Former Senator Cory Gardner was spotted this weekend waiting in line at Disney World. The Yuma Republican usually hosts a “fundraising event” every November in Orlando, FL, in which his PAC picks up the check for Gardner and family to go in search of Mickey Mouse. We don’t know if this weekend’s Disney World visit […]
All four of Colorado’s Democratic Members of Congress — Reps.

UPDATE: D’oh! —– From the “nothing is ever really deleted” files, Politiwoops caught another short-lived arrow of flaming untruth from Rep. Lauren Boebert this morning: Although there’s nothing amiss in the caption, Twitter denizens grabbed the offending graphic for posterity: The problem is that the quote “for true patriots to be silent is dangerous” was […]

The one I voted against voted with the majority.” — Manu […]
Reporter Graig Graziosi writes for the UK Independent about one very upset freshman firebreathing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, freely throwing the threats around against telecommunications companies who might be considering cooperation with the Select Committee investigating the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th by retaining phone records of a number of […]
The controversy raging in Mesa County over a breach of election systems security currently the subject of local and federal criminal investigations, as readers know, has its origins in the fervent belief by a substantial percentage of Republican voters across the nation that the 2020 elections were stolen from ex-President Donald Trump. In an attempt […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“And contrary to Udall’s tedious refrain, Gardner’s election would pose no threat to abortion rights.” – The editorial board of The Denver Post (Oct. 10, 2014)[/mantra-pullquote] You can argue, as many politicos have, that Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall lost the 2014 election for U.S. Senate in Colorado because his […]
