The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul and Jennifer Brown reported this week on the expanding probe into sexual abuse committed by Roman Catholic priests in Colorado over the course of many decades. Attorney General Phil Weiser released a report in October finding that at least 166 children were abused by at least 19 ordained Catholic priests, […]
We were forwarded this picture today by a Colorado Pols reader. We’re not sure what to make of this, but the bumper sticker for Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) on the bottom right side makes us think it has something to do with RINOs (Republicans In Name Only). Or maybe this person is just really […]
UPDATE: As they say, a hundred thousand reasons: Update: trump impeachment-focused $ push raised over $100k apiece for Tillis, Gardner, Ernst https://t.co/LXEcCdnObC — Alex Isenstadt (@politicoalex) November 1, 2019 —– Newsweek reports on the fallout from yesterday’s big story covered in this space, fundraising by President Donald Trump on behalf of vulnerable Republican incumbent Senators […]
On Thursday the House of Representatives voted along party lines to formalize the process for impeachment proceedings against President Trump. For weeks Republicans have railed against Democrats for not opening a “formal” impeachment inquiry — it was easier for Republicans to attack the process than to defend Trump on the merits of his actions — […]
Spoiler alert: she did.

UPDATE: CNN’s Dana Bash speaks frankly about President Donald Trump’s financial power over Republican Senators today, and how it could be brought to bear against vulnerable incumbents like Sen. Cory Gardner: —– Donald Trump’s “chaos presidency” has given Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado innumerable chances to put daylight between himself and a President deeply unpopular […]
Senate Democrats today tried to pass a resolution opposing President Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. As Jordain Carney explains for The Hill, Republicans weren’t having it: The Senate on Wednesday rejected a Democratic effort to roll back a Trump administration rule that allows states to ignore parts of ObamaCare. Senators voted 43-52 on […]
Proposition DD is a statewide referred ballot measure being voted on by Coloradans in the 2019 general elections wrapping up next Tuesday, November 5. Proposition DD would legalize sports betting in the state as authorized by the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision of Murphy v. NCAA, and direct the revenue from a 10% tax on […]
Proposition CC is a statewide referred ballot measure being voted on by Coloradans in the 2019 general elections wrapping up next Tuesday, November 5. Proposition CC would allow the state to retain revenues in excess of an arbitrary revenue growth cap specified in the 1992 Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), and spend those funds on […]
As Politico reports, yesterday was another day of damning testimony against President Donald Trump in the ongoing House impeachment inquiry, with a decorated veteran National Security Council staffer testifying that the transcript Trump dubiously relies on to proclaim his innocence has itself been compromised: A senior White House official told House impeachment investigators on Tuesday […]
UPDATE: Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette: [Sen. Cory] Gardner hasn’t signed on to a bill sponsored by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, both Colorado Democrats, dubbed the Colorado Outdoor Recreation & Economy Act, or the CORE Act — but he hasn’t said he’s opposed to the legislation, either… “Coloradans […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With a ballot measure allowing Colorado to use already-collected TABOR taxes for roads and schools expected to be close, five Democratic Colorado governors have joined together in calling on citizens to vote ‘yes’ and get their ballots submitted by mail or at drop-off locations by next Tuesday, Nov. 5. Gov. Jared […]

That’s what the Resist Polis PAC, the organization that just wrapped up the humiliating failure of a recall petition drive against Gov. Jared Polis, allegedly netting less than half the required total and never turning in any signatures to how for sure, is telling supporters on Facebook. Stay tuned! These folks are about to (their […]
There are currently eight Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate in Colorado…or nine if you count both versions of Andrew Romanoff. The current iteration of Romanoff more closely resembles the 2010 Senate challenger version (“2010 Andrew”) than the 2014 congressional candidate in CO-6 (“2014 Andrew”) but just like the rest of us, Romanoff doesn’t get to […]
Back in March the Denver Post rescinded their endorsement of Sen. Cory Gardner, after Gardner voted to defend President Donald Trump’s highly controversial declaration of a national emergency to obtain the needed funding for construction of a wall on the southern U.S. border despite congressional refusal to fund the project–not to mention Gardner’s own longstanding […]
This is a mail piece we were forwarded over the weekend from Americans For Prosperity, the national conservative message group with ties to the Koch political empire which has emerged as the principal opponent of Proposition CC on this year’s statewide ballot. We’ve paid quite a bit of attention in the last week or so […]
A week after the spectacular failure of the last of the recall campaigns from Colorado Republicans, launched against several individual Democratic legislators and Gov. Jared Polis over the summer, the Denver Post’s Alex Burness circled back with Republican leaders for a post-mortem look at what went wrong–Republicans who were willing to return his calls, that […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) did not immediately sign-on to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Senate resolution condemning the House of Representatives for impeachment investigations against President Trump, but he didn’t equivocate for too long. Gardner is now officially supporting Graham’s silly Trump defense. On Thursday, Graham introduced his ridiculous resolution in the Senate, criticizing House Democrats […]
As The Washington Post reports: The U.S. government’s budget deficit ballooned to nearly $1 trillion in 2019, a $205 billion increase from a year earlier, as America’s fiscal imbalance widened for a fourth consecutive year despite a sustained run of economic growth. [Pols emphasis] The country’s worsening fiscal picture runs in sharp contrast to President […]

Colorado Public Radio’s Taylor Allen reports from yesterday’s well-deserved “victory lap” press conference by Senate President Leroy Garcia, after the recall campaign against him collapsed in a heap at the end of last week: Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia on Thursday said he’s looking forward to the new legislative session — especially after surviving a […]
The dust has barely settled on yesterday’s bizarre stunt pulled by some two dozen House Republicans, in which members barged into a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the basement of the Capitol and refused to leave–delaying the testimony of a Defense Department official in the continuing impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump for five […]
♦ Soliciting foreign governments to interfere in our elections: ♦ Comparing impeachment investigations to a “lynching“: ♦ Proposing to build a wall around Colorado: ♦ Taking money from Colorado military projects for border wall funding: ♦ Using the White House for personal financial gain: ♦ Pulling U.S. troops out of Syria, all but handing the region to […]
