AP’s James Anderson has the latest must-read dive into the spotty record of Republican CD-3 upstart nominee Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, whose past expressions of support for the debunked “QAnon” conspiracy theory about Donald Trump’s global war against a secret cabal of ruling pedophiles have landed her in a select group of nationally lampooned Republican candidates […]
As FOX 31’s Eli Stokols reported in October of 2013, then-Rep. Cory Gardner wasn’t much concerned back then about protecting patients with pre-existing conditions like he claims to be today, or anything else in the Affordable Care Act, which his single-minded purpose in office up to that time and years since has been to repeal. […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With the tragic passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and her replacement likely confirmed before Election Day, we will soon see a shocking reality: Presidents who lost the popular vote will have appointed a majority of Supreme Court justices. George W. Bush appointed two justices and Donald Trump reportedly has the […]
When we last asked this question in early September, the results indicated again that Democrat John Hickenlooper is headed for a comfortable victory over Republican Cory Gardner in November. Ballots will start going out in a little more than two weeks, so it’s time to ask once more: Who is going to win Colorado’s marquee race? Senator Cory Gardner or […]
Former infamously freak-right state Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt may have missed out on a bid for El Paso County Commissioner in this year’s troubled Republican assemblies, but that hasn’t stopped him from living large–sort of, anyway: Reportedly, Klingenschmitt’s online “ministry” of Youtube sermons and interviews was at least at one point a fairly lucrative […]
The Washington Post’s Greg Miller reports, and we have nothing to add: In unguarded moments with senior aides, President Trump has maintained that Black Americans have mainly themselves to blame in their struggle for equality, hindered more by lack of initiative than societal impediments, according to current and former U.S. officials. After phone calls with […]
UPDATE #2: The Loveland Reporter-Herald updates that Brandon McLaughlin has been released from Larimer County Jail as the investigation continues, over the objections of the family of the victim: “Frustration does not even come close to how the family feels about this decision from the DA,” she said when reached by telephone after the hearing. […]
At this point two years ago, it was becoming clear that the 2018 election in Colorado was going to be very good for Democrats. We wouldn’t find out until much later that the 2018 cycle would be historically good for Democrats, but the signs were there by late September: Democrat Jared Polis was running away […]
(“Very, very loyal” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In an email to supporters this morning, U.S. Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky wrote that Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner will “likely be a key vote that gets [Trump’s Supreme Court] nominee across the finish line when she comes up for a vote.” Then McConnell asked for […]
Hot on the heels of Sen. Cory Gardner’s last negative ad, in which Gardner lovingly hand-washes somebody’s Maserati while reciting various falsehoods about former Gov. John Hickenlooper’s record, Gardner has a new TV spot out today lamenting the fact that Hickenlooper is running negative ads about Gardner: Back in 2010, Hickenlooper ran a particularly well-received […]
As The Hill reports, Democrats in Washington are beginning to engage in whatever resistance they can without the votes to actually stop the Republican majority with steamrolling ahead on a new Supreme Court Justice six weeks before Election Day 2020: Senate Democrats are limiting the ability to hold committee hearings in retaliation for Republicans decision […]
As The Denver Post reports: Most state employees who make more than $50,000 annually will be taking up to four furlough days before the end of the fiscal year, the governor’s office announced Tuesday. The number of furlough days will be dependent on an employee’s salary. Some employees will be exempt, but those taking the […]

Despite the best-laid plans of officials and the fervent hopes by all parties that it wouldn’t be a disaster, Jesse Paul at the Colorado Sun reports the return to class at the University of Colorado’s flagship Boulder campus has not gone well: The University of Colorado Boulder is moving to remote learning for at least […]
Brave as ever, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) waited until the very end of the day to issue a statement about his position on filling the Ruth Bader Ginsberg vacancy before the election. In statement, @SenCoryGardner does not oppose a Supreme Court vote before the election and says he would vote to confirm a “qualified” Trump […]
UPDATE (MONDAY): Gardner’s pre-existing medical conditions ad is so dishonest that even CBS4 Denver political reporter Shaun Boyd didn’t have anything nice to say (Boyd is well-known in Colorado political circles for her eagerness to toss softball after softball toward Gardner). From a CBS4 “Reality Check”: There is maybe no provision of the Affordable Care […]
The news came late on Friday of the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG). Soon afterward, stories began swirling about the political impact of a Supreme Court (SCOTUS) vacancy just six weeks before Election Day. There is a LOT of news to unpack after a weekend flurry of reports and updates, so […]
Here’s President Donald Trump speaking today with his favorite Fox and Friends in a clip eagerly shared by Colorado Democrats, assuring the morning agit-prop faithful that Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado is fully on board with jamming another U.S Supreme Court Justice into Trump’s legacy: TRUMP: I think it’s going to help. I think […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, we talk with Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia about Pueblo politics, CO-3 candidates, and green chiles. Your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii also discuss a new poll showing what lots of other polls are showing: Trump and Gardner are losing by double digits and progressives and […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports: Forty-five days before the fight of his political life, and one day after being thrust into a national spotlight by the death of a Supreme Court justice, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner addressed the high court’s vacancy for the first time Saturday but declined to say whether President Donald […]
UPDATE #3: FOX 31 has local reactions to the day’s heartbreaking news: Gov. Jared Polis: “Today Coloradans and our nation mourn the loss of a titan. We have lost a fearless advocate for women and families and someone who never stopped working toward greater equality for all in the eyes of the law. I am […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby has up today one of the more thorough bio pieces we’ve seen so far on Lauren Boebert, the upstart QAnon-curious Republican nominee for red-leaning CD-3 who shook Republican politics in western Colorado hard by handily defeating longtime incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton in the June 30th Republican primary. Ashby tries […]
Ken Buck has it all figured out. Mostly. The Republican Congressman from Greeley, who also serves as the Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, was a guest this week on the “Brian Kilmeade Show” on Fox News Radio. Buck told the talking muppet from Fox & Friends — whom Fox bills as “America’s receptive voice,” […]
The first bonafide photograph of a place where Colorado voters can sign a petition to recall Gov. Jared Polis–not requiring a time machine back to 2019, mind you, the 2020 Recall Polis campaign–was sent to us today from a street corner in Loveland: That’s the only hard proof we’ve seen of any actual organizing for […]
