(“Six lives matter, but…” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: “I am in no way saying that I don’t think those lives are worth saving, whether it’s one or six, I just don’t think those lives get saved any more with that proposed law than our existing child abuse law,” Brauchler told the Colorado Times […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: The Denver Post’s Saja Hindi: For Rep. Stephen Humphrey, R-Severance, the legislation is about doing what he says his district expects of him. As a Christian man, that includes preserving what he views as religious freedoms. Humphrey introduced two bills that would affect LGBTQ people: House Bill 1272, which defines marriage as between […]

Last weekend, outgoing Trump administration bound GOP Rep. Susan Beckman in House District 38 was replaced by the mayor of the teensy high-income enclave of Columbine Valley, Richard Champion–though the loser of the appointment Brenda Stokes vows to fight on in a primary–and as the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Michael Karlik reports, the very fine Republicans […]
Following the vote last Wednesday afternoon by the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate to acquit President Donald Trump, Sen. Cory Gardner has been on a tear of press avails both in Washington, D.C. and back home in Colorado–more availability (voluntary availability, that is) than Gardner has seen fit to grant reporters in either location for a very, […]
CBS4 updates on an expanding campaign and bumped-up ad spending for Sen. Bernie Sanders ahead of Colorado’s big date with Super Tuesday, after Sanders raised $25 million in January: In addition to adding new staff in Colorado, Sanders’ campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, said they will be spending $5.5 million on television and digital ads in […]
Remember that old joke about how your (grand)parents had to walk 10 miles a day to school in the snow, and it was uphill both ways? Yeah, well, your kids won’t be able to use that one. It’s time to Get More Smarter. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Democratic Party responds via CBS4: Cory Gardner’s a spineless yes-man who’s sold out Colorado to Donald Trump time and time again. Whether it’s their numerous attacks on Coloradans’ healthcare or raiding millions of dollars from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, it’s no wonder they’re both so profoundly unpopular here in […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“Coloradans deserve better than Cory Gardner.” — The Denver Post (2/6/20)[/mantra-pullquote] Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) did what everyone expected him to do yesterday when the Senate voted on two articles of impeachment against President Trump: He covered up for Trump and voted to acquit the President. What Gardner did not do, […]
Via GOP Rep. Matt Soper, Colorado House Republicans had themselves an extemporaneous party on the floor of the chamber today to celebrate the acquittal yesterday of President Donald Trump: Rep. Soper exults less than eloquently: The rights of the innocence [sic] were upheld. The House Republican caucus celebrated the exoneration of President Trump. Long live […]
During the second term of President Barack Obama’s administration, conservatives accused the Internal Revenue Service of unfairly targeting conservative activist nonprofit groups for heightened scrutiny. Although a detailed report from the Treasury Department Inspector General in 2017 found that the IRS targeted both conservative and liberal groups based on keywords like “Tea Party” and “progressive,” […]
Freshly energized from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday and acquittal in the impeachment trial yesterday, Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs is excited to move on to the next Big Thing he thinks is on the Republican agenda–slashing “entitlement” spending, meaning the Social Security and Medicare benefits millions of Americans and […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) waited to publicly offer his thoughts on impeachment until one hour before the Senate began voting on articles of impeachment against President Trump. After the jump below, you can read the full transcript of Gardner’s remarks from today on the Senate floor…along with a few annotations from Colorado Pols.
UPDATE #5 (2:25 pm): Sen. Cory Gardner has voted to acquit President Donald Trump on both articles of impeachment. The idea that we would turn our back and close our eyes to evidence pounding on the outside of the doors of this Capitol is pitiful. It is disgraceful. And it will be a stain on […]
The Salt Lake Tribune reports on a monumental development moments ago in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump: Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah will vote to convict and remove Trump from office. “I swore an oath before God to apply impartial justice. And, as you know, I’m a very religious person. I take […]
UPDATE: The Senate has adjourned for the day. Gardner did not speak. —– Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) does not like talking about the subject of President Trump’s misconduct. He doesn’t talk to reporters or constituents. If he gets cornered by journalists, he melts into a puddle of pitiful talking points or blabbers out some […]
Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, presently spending more money than you’ll see in a lifetime every couple of days to brute force his way into contention, has an undeniably powerful new ad running this week featuring state Rep. Tom Sullivan of Centennial. Rep. Sullivan’s loyalty to Bloomberg straightforwardly relates to both mens’ advocacy on gun […]
UPDATE: Partial results finally in, with 62% of precincts reporting via smoke signal and Pony Express: Amy Klobuchar is right on Joe Biden's heels for fourth place in the final alignment of the popular vote. Biden was nearly doubled by Sanders. Sanders — 28,220Buttigieg — 27,030Warren — 22,254Biden — 14,176Klobuchar — 13,357 This remains with […]
UPDATE: Note that the GOP Senator who first fielded a similar question, Joni Ernst of Iowa, swiftly walked back her answer: “That was taken entirely out of context. The point is that the Democrats have lowered the bar so far that … regardless of who it is, if you have a different party in the […]
UPDATE: So, uh, Politico reports: The Iowa caucuses spun into disarray late Monday, as reporting inconsistencies delayed results and cast an air of doubt over the first contest of the 2020 primary campaign. The disorder on caucus night threatened to last far deeper into the night, and most of the candidates responded by delivering remarks […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “If 2018 was a Democratic wave, then 2020 is very likely to be a tsunami.” That’s the conclusion of an analysis of Colorado voting trends, released in a blog post last week by Ryan Winger, Director of Data Analysis and Research Projects at Magellan Strategies, a Republican-leaning pollster. Here are three […]

AP and the Denver Post reported Friday, and we wanted to make sure it got a mention: The Trump administration announced Friday that it is curbing legal immigration from six additional countries that officials said did not meet security standards, as part of an election-year push to further restrict immigration. Officials said immigrants from Kyrgyzstan, […]
As the Denver Post’s Sam Tabachnik reports: Presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg unveiled his plan to increase taxes on the rich Saturday in downtown Denver, touting his effectiveness as mayor of New York and his role in passing gun legislation across the country as he made his case to Colorado voters that he is the man […]
