As ABC News reports, it’s a triumph of loyalty over the rule of law that would have been unthinkable before Donald Trump: President Donald Trump said Friday evening he has signed a commutation releasing scandal-plagued former congressman George Santos from prison “immediately.” Santos, 37, was less than three months into serving a seven-year sentence in […]
Saturday’s No Kings Day protest in Denver and cities across the state and nation brought out millions of people to, with only limited exceptions, peacefully and responsibly demonstrate their displeasure with the direction of the country under Maximum President Donald Trump. Early estimates of seven million nationwide would make these the biggest protests since the […]
The second big “No Kings Day” protest took place on Saturday and attracted an estimated 7 million people across the country . The vast majority of protestors peacefully demonstrated in a manner that defied the silly Republican talking points that you were a “terrorist” or “hate America“; this sort of public protest is exactly what […]
We have been amused by “ministry leader” Victor Marx — the newest entry into the Republican field of candidates hoping to become Colorado’s next Governor — so much so that we were inspired to create a regular new feature on Colorado Pols. Marx has a robust social media following anchored by a podcast and regular speaking appearances on right-wing […]

THURSDAY UPDATE: Wednesday was the deadline for most campaigns to submit Q3 (July – September) fundraising reports. The last fundraising quarter of the year is often much weaker for candidates because of the holiday season, so Q3 numbers can offer the best look at a campaign’s finances until early next year. We’ll run down the […]
An email blast from Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado this morning warns of the approval of the ballot title for a new flavor of the “Personhood” abortion ban ballot measures that Colorado voters have rejected at the polls repeatedly despite nearly 20 years of fruitlessly trying: Yesterday, the Colorado Title Board approved a title for an […]
As the Denver Post’s Lauren Pennington reports, this upcoming Saturday’s reprise of the “No Kings Day” protest from the summer in Denver and across the country is shaping up bigly: Thousands of people are expected to march through downtown Denver this weekend as a second wave of “No Kings” protests sweeps across the country. The […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Federal Government Shutdown enters its second-ish week and Democrats seem to have the upper hand, at least so far. Then, can puppy-killer DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and her masked goons defeat an army of grannies with ukeleles and people in inflatable costumes in war-raveged Portland, Oregon? Even though 2026 […]
Over the summer, America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans developed a routine of holding photo-ops at locations in his district that were directly affected by adverse votes Evans himself took, principally with the passage of the “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill, as well as retaliation by the Trump administration against […]

Every election cycle brings its share of gadfly candidates, from the inexplicable first-timers to those who have run again and again (we’re looking at you, Greg Lopez). Thus far the 2026 election cycle has dozens upon dozens of candidates seeking all manner of political office. If history is any guide, 75% of these candidates will […]
As the ongoing shutdown of the federal government’s effects are felt across the economy, the Trump administration has responded in part by directing normally non-political government agencies to name and blame Democrats as political retribution that they hope the public will echo–which hasn’t happened so far, with the public overwhelmingly blaming Republicans for the shutdown, […]
As FOX 31 Denver’s Alliyah Sims reports, a most unusual spectacle played out yesterday afternoon on the West Steps of the Colorado State Capitol: Loved ones lost, cases dismissed and dangerous criminals walking free. Families and lawmakers across the state are demanding immediate change to a 2024 law they say is putting lives at risk. […]
Back in June, we took note of an announcement from the Commerce Department reported by Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog that former Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams had been appointed a “senior advisor” at the International Trade Administration–ostensibly due to his experience in importing containerloads of trinkets from China […]
We take you to the streets of Portland, Oregon, where we’re told the once-beautiful City of Roses is burning to the ground as the Antifa domestic terrorist onslaught continues unchecked: Hold on, folks, we must be running the wrong tape, because as KGW-TV in Portland reports, the situation is so bad that local police are…yes, […]
The first federal government shutdown since 2018 will enter double digits by reaching Day 10 tomorrow, with no apparent end in sight. That doesn’t mean there isn’t shutdown-related news to discuss. Here’s the latest in our weekly-ish shutdown updates, starting with the latest polling from Navigator Research: Republicans Getting Hammered for Shutdown…By Republicans We’ve […]
(They don’t call it the “Kirkmeyer Competency Act” for nothing — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder With 19 Republicans running for the 2026 gubernatorial nomination, the candidates, many of whom are true MAGA patriots, will have to compete to set themselves apart from one another. And while GOP candidates like […]
(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Lindsey Toomer, Colorado Newsline October 9, 2025 Colorado Democrats in Congress called on Republicans to negotiate a bipartisan funding bill that extends health insurance tax credits to reopen the federal government.

As the Texas Tribune’s Renzo Downey reports, the Texas Republican Party is embarking on a purity purge of their own elected officials that would make former Colorado Republican Party chairman and would-be state purger-in-chief Dave Williams blush: The Republican Party of Texas’ governing board is set to meet in the state Capitol on Saturday to […]
As the federal government shutdown extends into its second week, there are signs that President Trump is beginning to waver on his commitment to this chaos. The Republican lie that Democrats want to fund health care for undocumented immigrants is going nowhere. Democrats, meanwhile, continue to dominate the narrative by keeping Republicans on the defensive […]
As FOX 31’s Ashley Michels reports–while most of Congress is wrestling with the ongoing shutdown of the federal government, and pressing issues from the faltering Trump economy to Schrödinger’s Epstein Files competing for the attention of voters, Colorado’s carpetbagging cornucopia of crazy Rep. Lauren Boebert just dropped another distraction into this most distracted of news […]
