We wrote yesterday about a busy final week of the 2019 legislative session, in which Democrats were pushing to complete work on important issues while Republicans continued their strategy of gleeful obstruction. As Nic Garcia reports today for the Denver Post, Senate Democrats finally got fed up with Republicans insisting that bills be read at […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Susan Beckman of Littleton, who lost an election by fewer than 10 votes to lead the Colorado Republican Party, has issued a detailed report calling the GOP voting process “troubling” and marred by “flagrant abuse” of rules and expected election practices. Beckman’s report spotlights seven core “issues,” which include: […]
“If you want something done, ask a busy person.” The originator of this saying might be Benjamin Franklin. It might also be Lucille Ball. More likely, it is one of those proverbs that have been repeated in one form or another for centuries. The progenitor of the wording is less important than the wisdom of […]
The New York Times supplies the context for today’s bit of tough love: The measles outbreak continues to spread in the United States, surpassing 700 cases this year, federal health officials said on Monday. The virus has now been found in 22 states. More than 500 of the 704 cases recorded as of last Friday […]
Late last week, the Colorado political chattering class was taken by surprise when organizers of a ballot initiative to overturn the recently-passed Senate Bill 19-181 reforming oversight of the oil and gas industry announced they were calling off the effort for 2019 in order to assess the effects of the law on the industry. Although […]
UPDATE: The heart-shaking drama goes on: Update: Lawmaking slowed to halt from a snail's pace after a Republican senator asked that a bill be read at length because the rule mandating everyone in the chamber wear a sport/suit coat has not been relaxed. #copolitics #coleg — Jesse Aaron Paul ☀ (@JesseAPaul) April 26, 2019 Finally, […]
As the Loveland Reporter-Herald’s Hans Peter reports, another conservative activist with an axe to grind against Colorado Democrats is the winner of a big First Amendment settlement–this time a Loveland man who was stopped and briefly charged with disorderly conduct over homemade signs he displayed on street corners protesting against now-Gov. Jared Polis’ “perversity” in […]
The Denver Nuggets can advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs by winning Game 7 on Saturday; this would mark the first time that both the Nuggets and the Colorado Avalanche advanced to the second round of the playoffs in the same season. It’s time “Get More Smarter.” If you think we missed […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner is joining Republicans nationally in dismissing concerns, raised in the wake of the release of the Mueller report, that Trump obstructed justice. Pressed by KDMT’s Jimmy Sengenberger this week about the obstruction charges raised by Democrats, Gardner pointedly says the real issue emerging from the special prosecutor’s […]
That’s the word from the AP via FOX 31–there will be no attempt to repeal Senate Bill 19-181 this year, the landmark legislation granting more local control over oil and gas drilling and reforming the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to refocus its mission on public health and safety: Opponents planned to ask voters […]
There are currently 20 incumbent Senate Republicans seeking re-election in 2020. None of them — not one — has a lower approval rating among Republican voters than Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). These are some remarkable numbers, as Morning Consult explains: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) is the least popular Republican with his home base, with […]
The Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter has a good write-up today on the views of Colorado Democrats on impeaching President Donald Trump following the release of a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report–a report that is considerably worse for Trump after digestion than Attorney General William Barr led the nation to believe. Despite this, […]
9NEWS reported Tuesday night about a series of billboards going up in Weld County paid for out of pocket by a Boulder woman, attorney Lindasue Smollen, who has had enough of the misinformation that permeates any debate over gun policy in America today: The new signs are in direct response to [Weld County Sheriff Steve] […]
A long-form Politico story out today gives us some of the first detailed answers from Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado about the now-concluded investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections–an investigation that, despite a vigorous attempt by the White House to spin the final report’s conclusions, revealed deeply […]
The Denver Nuggets are one win away from their first playoff series victory in a decade after Tuesday’s blowout home win against the San Antonio Spurs. It’s time “Get More Smarter.” If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). If you are more of […]
Hot from Sen. Cory Gardner’s tour yesterday of EVRAZ Rocky Mountain Steel in Pueblo, another nonpublic scripted appearance for Gardner in lieu of the public town halls he’s avoided since 2017, comes this fabulously captionable image: And the next logical question: who wore it better? You decide.
(Honey Badger wants YOU – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler never shied from the spotlight while in office, but he’s kept a lower profile since returning to private practice. He recently made the news for his work on behalf of the long shot campaign to recall Gov. Jared Polis […]
Who is it gonna be? It’s time again that we asked Colorado Pols readers to predict the name of the eventual 2020 Democratic nominee for President. When last we asked, you were still rolling with California Sen. Kamala Harris as the most likely nominee. Mike Harden of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman […]
Yesterday, the newly-minted “sole finalist” for the position of President of the University of Colorado, former GOP Rep. Mark Kennedy of Minnesota, began his tour of the CU system’s four campuses–a crucial opportunity for Kennedy to ingratiate himself with students and faculty, and address the many questions about Kennedy’s anti-LGBT, anti-reproductive choice record in Congress […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: The internet is forever, folks–as Constellation Political is learning belatedly: You’re welcome (see below). —– UPDATE: David O. Williams picks up the thread for RealVail.com: Eagle County is indeed a very blue county these days, with Sheriff James van Beek the only elected member of the GOP currently serving. Still, that clearly won’t […]
(Catch him if you can! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) plans to speak Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Colorado Chamber of Commerce in Colorado Springs. Why’s that news? Because Gardner hasn’t held a public town hall meeting in over a year, instead meeting regularly with private groups, like the […]
Gov. Jared Polis Tweeted yesterday in support of victims of the bombings in Sri Lanka against Christians celebrating Easter Sunday: Heartbreaking to learn about the attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka. Colorado stands with the people of Sri Lanka during this very tragic day and we grieve for those affected by these […]
As you probably know from last week’s news coverage, Sen. Cory Gardner is very much ready to “move on” from the investigation into Russian support for Donald Trump in the 2016 elections, after the release this week of a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report that supporters of the President desperately want America […]
A significant development for online political poo-flingers we wanted to be sure got a mention, part of a reckoning that has been occurring across the nation as the implications of effortless social media speech–and the equally effortless censorship thereof–are weighed against constitutional rights taken for granted in every other medium. As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter […]
Justin Wingerter of the Denver Post reports on some good news for Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver): U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s office said Friday that his surgery to remove prostate cancer was successful, seemingly clearing the way for a 2020 presidential run. “Last weekend, Michael underwent surgery and is recovering at his home in Colorado,” said […]
