In an op-ed published behind the paywall yesterday by the Phil Anschutz-owned Colorado Springs Gazette, Republican House Minority Leader Patrick Neville sounds off in favor of immediately reopening the state’s economy–despite the fact that Gov. Jared Polis won praise last week from none other than President Donald Trump himself for the controversially swift pace of […]
UPDATE #2: Jesse Paul of the Colorado Sun: Masks showcased a partisan divide in the Capitol. All Democratic lawmakers wore masks, but many Republicans did not. State Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, said she didn’t wear a face covering because it inhibits her breathing and she has allergies. She also questioned their efficacy, even though […]
As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the gross incompetence of President Donald Trump and the non-career professional side of his administration into harsh relief, along with the Republican political establishment that enabled and continues to prop up Trump through his daily displays of embarrassing ignorance, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado has taken a terrible […]

During an impromptu press conference on Friday, President Trump threatened to do a thing that he absolutely does not have the authority to do. From NBC News: “The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important, essential places of faith to open right now, for this weekend,” he said. “If they […]
(#COVID4Colorado – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Republicans plan to push for legislation limiting Gov. Jared Polis’ authority to issue public-health orders to 15 days, after which time Polis or a future governor would need to get the green light from the state legislature to extend orders any longer. State House Republican leader Patrick Neville […]
EDITOR’S UPDATE: As of October 11, 2021, Anita Springsteen has not, to Colorado Pols’s knowledge, been charged with any crimes or investigated by the Office of Attorney Regulation.

FRIDAY UPDATE: Cory Gardner’s backside in the breeze is how our Memorial Day Weekend kicks off: Yikes, @SenCoryGardner is getting some rough coverage back home #copolitics pic.twitter.com/0CdnrgGAUH — Chris Moyer (@ChrisRMoyer) May 22, 2020 Politico updates: Gardner and others had clamored for immediate reform to the Paycheck Protection Program, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and […]
The campaign for Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) announced on Wednesday that it had challenged potential Democratic opponents John Hickenlooper and Andrew Romanoff to five debates this fall. But the big news in the announcement was more about who Gardner was dissing. As 9News reports: Incumbent Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R) has declined an invitation […]
Here’s a video we were forwarded of Delta County Commissioner Don Suppes, who readers east of the Divide probably remember better a fierce Republican opponent to now-Sen. Kerry Donovan from her tough SD-5 election in 2014. Suppes, speaking at a “Reopen Colorado” rally Saturday along with Rep. Matt Soper and other local GOP luminaries, railed […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Michael Brown, who became famous after President George W. Bush told him that he was doing a “heck’ve a job” during the Katrina disaster, already knows he isn’t going to take a vaccination against COVID-19, if one becomes available, and, meanwhile, he thinks mask-wearing is in many ways an “utter joke.” “A […]
Under controversially relaxed signature-gathering rules in place to maximize voter participation during the ongoing pandemic, two opposing campaigns are petitioning to get on the November ballot with initiatives that can be credibly called tax cuts–or at least tax cuts for the overwhelming majority of Colorado residents. One measure, Initiative 271 (but don’t memorize that number […]
As the Aurora Sentinel reports, police have arrested a man for repeatedly vandalizing the Tri-County Health Department and making some pretty explicit threats: Investigators believe Daniel Pesch, 36, drew graffiti on the facade of the Tri-County Health office at 15192 E Hampden Ave. and repeatedly threw rocks through the building’s windows between April 15 and […]

(“Boy” Neville knows best – Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you follow the Colorado Times Recorder, you know we’ve been trying to figure out if some Republican leaders in Colorado, like Colorado Republican House leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock and U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), believe masks provide any protection whatsoever against getting COVID-19. […]

Checking in on Republican CD-3 primary candidate Lauren “Yosemite Samantha” Boebert’s short-lived campaign of civil disobedience against the Garfield County Public Health Department, as the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports, we find the situation has changed substantially since last week when we last updated this story with the GarCo sheriff’s refusal to take action […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with Rep. Daneya Esgar (D-Pueblo), the Chairwoman of Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee, about the agonizing decisions involved in setting a state budget with a $3.3 billion hole in revenue. We also ponder the truth in the FreeDumb movement; Ian fights […]
CNN’s Manu Raju reports today on the growing crisis for vulnerable Republican incumbent Senators like Cory Gardner of Colorado as President Donald Trump’s dangerous incompetence during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens to further reduce their chances of their careers surviving the November elections. On the latest looney development from the White House, Trump’s announcement yesterday […]
As CNBC reports, President Trump is actually taking hydroxychloroquine: President Donald Trump said Monday that he has been taking anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for over a week to prevent coronavirus infection even though it is not yet a proven treatment. “I happen to be taking it,” Trump said during a roundtable event at the White House. “A lot […]

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reported Saturday, a new survey of Colorado voters shows solidifying trendlines indicated by previous polls–high marks for Gov. Jared Polis, relatively favorable opinion of the Democratic majority in the Colorado legislature ahead of next week’s “grand reopening,” and positively brutal numbers for Sen. Cory Gardner and President Donald Trump: “This […]
As the Idaho Statesman reports, relations between the governor and lieutenant governor in the Gem State–both allegedly rock-ribbed conservative Republicans in charge of one of America’s reddest state governments–have turned decidedly frosty in recent weeks as the “establishment” and insurgent wings of the Republican Party come into conflict over measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If restrictions imposed to fight COVID-19 are like slavery, then those who defy those orders are like civil rights icons. That seems to be the view of some conservatives nationwide and in Colorado who have heralded those who are keeping their businesses open, protesting, or otherwise eschewing public health rules and recommendations […]
