DMB: Back For Another Run At Scott Tipton

As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper reports: Five months ago, Diane Mitsch Bush lost a bid to defeat U.S. Rep.

Bush, a former state legislator and Routt County commissioner, received […]

Mueller: If the President Did Not Commit a Crime, We Would Have Said So

UPDATE: Rep. Diana DeGette responds: Mueller just said: DOJ rules prohibit him from saying that the president committed a crime – but, if the president HAD NOT COMMITTED A CRIME, HE WOULD SAY SO! He said only Congress can hold the president accountable. That’s why we need to begin our impeachment inquiry NOW. — Rep. […]

Kopel: Dudley Brown is a “Direct Mail Fundraising Scam Artist” (And So Much More)

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) WEDNESDAY POLS UPDATE: Dudley Brown fires back unrepentant: @davekopel decrying fundraising is like a meat eater who hates hunting because he gets his food from the grocery store “where no animals were harmed.” Newsflash: someone raised the $$ (7% of @i2idotorg budget). — DudleyWBrown (@dudleywbrown) May 29, 2019 —– Pro-gun activists […]

Clan Neville Goes Low In Sullivan Recall Ad

Here’s a Facebook ad that started running last Friday from Values First Colorado, the House GOP “independent” message group operated by House Minority Leader Patrick Neville’s family political consulting group Rearden Strategic: Let’s briefly go over the problems with this ad beyond the distasteful fake mug shot–the allegation that Rep. Tom Sullivan supports “spending tax […]

How President Trump Honors Our Fallen Heroes

The email we were forwarded from Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. this morning needs a moment to sink in: It’s Memorial Day in the United States and Team Trump would like to take this time to thank every veteran who has served this great Nation, and to honor those who fell protecting it. Because […]

Words Mean Things, Wayne New Edition

Denverite reports on another race-related faceplant by another conservative figure in always-entertaining Denver politics, this time Councilman Wayne New’s self-proclaimed ignorance of things he…well, calls himself: City Councilman Wayne New said he was once a Dixiecrat, aligning himself with a racist splinter group of the Democratic party that opposed integration, during a District 10 forum […]

Bennet Fights To Make Prez Debate Stage

Politico updates on the fortunes of Colorado’s other Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

Trump to Bypass Congress on $8 Billion Arms Deal

The Real Overreach: Sullivan Breaks GOP Recall Strategy

As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports–as word spreads nationally about the attempt by Colorado Republicans to recall freshman Rep.

Colorado Makes National Headlines for Insulin Caps

As CNN reports today: The skyrocketing prices of insulin are a nationwide issue and Colorado has become the first state to pass legislation that tackles the problem. Colorado Gov.

Gardner Hides While Abortion Goes Under The Spotlight

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, another excellent story covering the local fallout on what’s becoming a flashpoint issue for the upcoming 2020 elections: Cory Gardner, a freshman U.S. senator, is facing a tough re-election fight in 2020, just as then-Sen. Udall did in 2014. And there’s another parallel: Democrats, at least for now, […]

White House, Senate GOP Can’t Square Talking Points

White House officials are still chirping about President Trump’s temper tantrum in lieu of a scheduled meeting with Congressional leaders about legislation to advance much-needed infrastructure improvements.

At Least He’s Not Your HUD Secretary Forever

In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Washington D.C., where HUD Secretary and all-around weirdo Ben Carson might like a cookie.

No Infrastructure For You! Sad Trump Refuses to Negotiate

UPDATE: As Jennifer Rubin writes for the Washington Post, Pelosi sure knows how to push Trump’s buttons: Whether Pelosi intended this result or not, her ability to treat Trump as a spoiled child and provoke even more self-destructive behavior has several positive benefits for Democrats in this context. First, it puts the blame for not […]

DeGette, Neguse Reach Tipping Point on Impeachment

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, two members of Colorado’s Democratic delegation in Congress, Reps.

Rogue Staffer! Rogue Staffer!

The official Twitter account for Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) posted a rather disconcerting message on Saturday mocking women in regards to recent state decisions enacting stringent anti-abortion laws.

Colorado’s Abortion Rights Complacency Finally Getting Real?

The Colorado Sun’s John Frank wrote a story yesterday we’ve been waiting to see from a Colorado politics press corps for some time: an honest look at the stridently anti-abortion agenda of Colorado Republicans, who propose every year legislation as and even more restrictive than the near-total ban on abortions signed into law in Alabama […]

As Democrats Seek Gun Violence Solutions, Republicans Push More Guns

In the wake of the shooting at a STEM school in Highlands Ranch earlier this month, Colorado Democrats are considering legislation to tighten the state’s laws around gun storage and child access, as the Colorado Sun reports: “The end goal is that someone who shouldn’t have access to a firearm can’t access it,” said Senate Majority Leader […]

Gardner: It’s “Up to the States,” like Alabama, to Decide if Abortion Is Legal

(Con Man Cory’s original sin is back – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After initially dodging a question from a reporter about Alabama’s abortion ban, saying he was late to a meeting and had no time to talk, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner has now stated his general support for the controversial measure. That’s consistent with his […]

Colorado GOP Can’t Just Get A Little Bit Pregnant

After the announcement last week of approved recall petitions to circulate against freshman Rep.

Oh No, Pikachu! Rep. Tipton Deletes Tweet Mocking Women

If you weren’t around late last night on the Twitters, you missed it: That’s Rep. Scott Tipton’s official congressional Twitter account, with a meme we have no doubt they thought was terribly clever for a moment–mocking women who appear to be holding #TimesUp movement protest signs, which is the contemporary movement to stamp out sexual […]
