As delivered via Rep. Doug Lamborn’s official email address! Gentle readers, it goes to a real live online poll! By real of course we don’t mean, you know, real, as in a poll containing any even slightly reliable information. But in case you wanted the chance to let Colorado’s least accomplished congressman know how you […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Gov. Jared Polis responds: Our nearby states have set a bizarre low bar with their outreach mottos. South Dakota has launched a “Meth-we’re on it” (anti?) drug campaign, and Nebraska has launched a “Nebraska: Honestly, it’s not for everyone” toursim(?) campaign. What should Colorado’s response be? — Jared Polis (@jaredpolis) November 19, 2019 […]
TUESDAY UPDATE (2:30PM): It’s been more than five days since President Trump decided to sideswipe American allies South Korea and Japan. Senator Cory Gardner, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Asia and calls himself “the leader in the Senate” on North Korea policy, remains silent. —– MONDAY UPDATE (3:10PM): Oh, look, the White House […]
If you were the betting type, you wouldn’t likely put a lot of money on the likelihood that State Senator Angela Williams (D-Denver) will be the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in June 2020. Williams entered the race for U.S. Senate in July with a sketchy announcement video and little fanfare; after four months as […]
CBS News reports on fresh scandal ensnaring the Republican National Committee, a problematic timeline of very large donation requests to a California billionaire hoping to become the next ambassador to the Bahamas: A CBS News investigation has uncovered a possible pay-for-play scheme involving the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump’s nominee for ambassador to […]
Filed earlier this month, and the word we’re hearing is it’s for real: Readers will remember former Rep. Judy Reyher of House District 47, who was appointed to replace Clarice Navarro following Navarro’s patronage Trump administration appointment in return for campaigning as hard for Donald Trump in 2016 as she did for her own re-election. […]
SUNDAY UPDATE #3: The WhiteMaleVengers are combining their right-wing powers! #Team710 assembled! Are you with us? @BackboneRadio, @peterboyles710, @SWTubbs, @randycorporon, @ChuckandJulie1 pic.twitter.com/nUiGotzV0a — Jimmy Sengenberger (@SengCenter) November 18, 2019 According to Chris Vanderveen of 9News, Team KNUS is holding a news conference tonight; all WhiteMaleVengers are expected to be in attendance. —– SUNDAY UPDATE #2: Here’s […]
Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) isn’t a member of the House Intelligence Committee (in any sense of the phrase) that is currently overseeing public impeachment hearings against President Trump, but that doesn’t mean he can’t try to advance his own ridiculous theory on the matter. David Corn of Mother Jones and MSNBC apparently found Lamborn talking […]
The second day of public testimony on impeachment hearings against President Trump took a very Trumpian direction today. As the Associated Press reports: Former U.S. Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch provided chilling detail Friday in Trump impeachment hearings of being suddenly ousted from her post and feeling threatened upon learning President Donald Trump had denounced her […]
(Representing – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A records request reveals that U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) or his staff apparently didn’t correspond with leaders of the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs during the six months prior to the U.S. Military’s decision in September to take $9 million from Peterson’s 2018 construction budget and […]
CNN reports, another worst-case scenario outcome for the Trump administration as longtime conservative political nuisance Roger Stone is found guilty of everything the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections on behalf of Donald Trump accused him of: Stone, a political provocateur, was found guilty of all seven counts brought by the Justice […]
Congressional Republicans are scrambling to figure out how to proceed with their full-throated support of President Trump in the wake of Wednesday’s public impeachment hearings, in which Ambassador William B. Taylor, Jr. and George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary at the State Department, testified for hours in front of members of the House Intelligence Committee. […]

It’s been a big week of political news on the subject of gun control in Colorado, with two related storylines converging into what we expect will be the next big flashpoint in the 2020 session of the Colorado General Assembly–a renewed battle over the state’s 15-round limit on firearm magazine capacity, passed in 2013 in […]
If you read just one summary of Wednesday’s first day of public impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill, make it this piece from Dana Milbank of The Washington Post: Of all the excuses, defenses, distractions and outright non sequiturs President Trump’s defenders deployed at Wednesday’s first public impeachment hearing — the whistleblower is biased! Hunter Biden […]
(Says a guy who claims to have punched a bear — Promoted by Colorado Pols) On Facebook this week, two former Republican state legislators were among a group of conservatives who shared a fake news item with the headline, “NASA admits that climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, and NOT because […]
Continuing our occasional look at content appearing on official Colorado Republican Party social media landing pages, here’s the Chaffee County GOP voicing what appears to be their displeasure over white people not having enough wives, which results through straightforward means in…well, fewer white babies. It’s true that you might be a little confused hearing from […]
In the 24 hours since petitions were submitted in support of Initiative 76, a constitutional amendment to duplicatively restate that voting rights in Colorado are restricted to U.S. citizens only–which the constitution already prescribes and is already followed in practice throughout the state with zero exceptions we are aware of–proponents have faced a barrage of […]
Technically speaking, anyway, from today’s Get More Smarter: Inbox: In the middle of impeachment hearings Senator Cory Gardner sends out a press release….about reevaluating the US Olympic Committee pic.twitter.com/GF0qW5zf04 — Joe St. George (@JoeStGeorge) November 13, 2019 As the nation sits riveted to their televisions and other screens following updates to the impeachment hearings against […]

UPDATE: So, what happens when EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland testifies publicly, which could come as soon as next week? —– William B. Taylor Jr., acting ambassador to Ukraine, opened up the first day of public impeachment hearings in front of the House Intelligence Committee today with a bombshell bit of new information. As The Washington Post […]
AP reported yesterday via the Colorado Sun and a host of other news outlets on a sweetheart deal apparently obtained by Energy Secretary Rick Perry on behalf of American oil speculators including Alex Cranberg, a former Colorado Republican megadonor with a long and dubious history of turning up where fossil fuel and foreign policy intrigue […]
Congressman Jason Crow (D-Aurora) is a former Army Ranger who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq and was awarded a Bronze Star.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The National Immigration Forum, a national advocacy group, gave Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) a “Courage to Lead Award” Thursday for his work on immigration legislation last year–not for the senator’s overall record on immigration issues. The decision by the Forum, a national pro-immigrant group, to recognize Gardner surprised immigration experts, who […]
