(Words, words, words — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Robert Mueller should testify before Congress, Colorado Sen.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A couple years ago, when Trump refused to condemn an attack by white nationalists at a protest in Charlottesville, saying at the time that the violence was caused by “very fine people on both sides,” Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner jumped in the national media spotlight and called on Trump to “lay […]

UPDATE #2: Congressman Joe Neguse, whose district includes CU-Boulder (Neguse is a former CU Regent) joins the chorus: As a former CU Regent, couldn’t agree more with Senator Udall and Governor Polis — am hopeful the Board will listen to the many voices calling for a selection process that unites the university community. https://t.co/AqWzLg3FYI — Joe […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and State Rep. Rochelle Galindo of Greeley should be ousted from office for supporting legislation, now signed into law by Polis, that allows for more local control in regulating the oil-and-gas industry, according to the websites of multiple campaigns launched to recall the two Democrats. But Colorado’s […]
Republican obstructionism at the State Capitol has been a key story in Colorado politics for much of the 2019 legislative session. This topic has only trended more with lawmakers scrambling to finish up work before Sine Die on Friday. Republican obstruction — particularly in the State Senate — is putting a number of bipartisan measures […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The editorial board of the Aurora Sentinel is seeing the same thing as everybody else and suggests that Gov. Jared Polis call a special legislative session to focus on health care bills: All the time-wasting stunts have pushed important bills to the end of the session. These Republican antics will now likely cost […]
CBS4 reported last night on a story that troubles us today for a few different reasons: [Rep. Kyle Mullica] introduced a bill requiring parents who want to opt their kids out of vaccines to get a standardized form from the health department first. He says he knew it would be controversial…But he never dreamed it […]
As posted to Facebook moments ago by the sitting GOP Senator from eastern Colorado Springs: Please blow this specious argument up, gentle readers! Metaphorically speaking of course. And of course, be glad you don’t live in Venezuela…or anywhere near Sen. Owen Hill.
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 […]
