On July 26, State Rep. James Coleman (D-Denver) cheerfully touted his 100% rating through the 2018 legislative session from Conservation Colorado, one of the state’s foremost organizations focused on conservation and environmental policies.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “I honestly don’t believe he can win,” said State Rep. Judy Reyher (R-Pueblo) about Pueblo house candidate Don Bendell who acknowledged last week that he failed to pay child support for nearly 17 years. Bendell successfully challenged Reyher in this year’s GOP primary, saying that Reyher had made “a few mistakes…that […]
An interview in the Pueblo Chieftain this weekend tries gamely to pump up GOP attorney general candidate George Brauchler, but seems more likely to leave local readers cold: Brauchler was a GOP candidate for governor last year, but switched after Attorney General Cynthia Coffman signaled she would be leaving the AG’s office to run for […]

Kara Mason at the Aurora Sentinel follows up on a story earlier this week about a list of Republicans in Congress set to receive donations directly from Donald Trump’s campaign–including Rep. Mike Coffman, who has tried mightily to put daylight between himself and Trump despite voting Trump’s way over 95% of the time. Via a […]
One week ago, Sen. Cory Gardner appeared on Fox and Friends, the avowedly pro-Donald Trump morning show famous for being regularly watched by Trump personally. In that appearance, Gardner downplayed the threat posed by Russia in a way that surely pleased the show’s viewers–including that one really special viewer: KILMEADE: Senator when they used to […]
As the Washington Post reports, President Trump is moving ahead with plans to gut fuel-efficiency standards for vehicles: The Trump administration announced plans Thursday to freeze fuel-efficiency requirements for the nation’s cars and trucks through 2026 — a massive regulatory rollback likely to spur a legal battle with California and other states, as well as create potential […]
Elizabeth Hernandez of the Denver Post reports on a disturbing development with a smell anyone who has followed the fraught debate over gun safety in Colorado since the historic 2013 session of the state legislature will recognize: The Converse sneakers extended onto the coffee table and the friendship bracelets bedazzling the arms of the teenage […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton has been running into one problem after another since winning the June 26 Republican Primary, and now he’s going to have to figure out a way to explain some pretty terrible fundraising numbers. Democrat Jared Polis reported raising $1,632,021 in the last month, leaving his campaign with $1,268,081 cash on hand. Most of this […]
We wrote last week about the unusual case of a signature gathering firm who proponents of Initiative 97, the controversial ballot initiative campaign to establish greater setbacks between oil and gas drilling and homes and schools throughout Colorado, alleged had absconded with thousands of petition signatures set to be turned in just a few days’ […]
USA TODAY’s John Fritze via 9NEWS, and you know how you miss yourself some Number 44: Former President Barack Obama announced endorsements Wednesday of 81 Democratic candidates in the November midterm elections, and said he is “eager” to help his party gain seats in a contest widely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump. […]
(This line about the Stapleton’s trying to set a trap for the nanny is amazing: “It didn’t work, however, because Walker Stapleton forgot how much money he left in the book as bait, according to the police report.” — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican candidate for governor Walker Stapleton and wife Jenna Stapleton once filed […]
Republican State Rep. Tim Leonard will soon give up the distinction of being the only sitting Colorado legislator in at least 40 years to have served time in jail. That’s because Leonard is dropping his re-election bid in HD-25 (Evergreen) on account of the fact that he’s a “Deadbeat Dad” who was using his job in the […]

President Trump’s re-election campaign is diverting serious cash to 100 Republican candidates for U.S. Senate and House in an effort to stave off a growing Blue Wave.

Income inequality in the United States is a growing problem.

This chart from the 2018 World Inequality Report explains […]
We wrote earlier this month about the ongoing highly public embarrassment of Republican Rep. Tim Leonard’s should-be-private divorce proceedings, which have deservedly risen onto the media’s radar twice now: once when he went to jail for contempt of court after refusing to follow court orders on his children’s education, and again more recently when he […]
Politico’s Maggie Severns reports from Colorado Springs, where the Koch Brothers are wrapping up their annual retreat of well-heeled Republican donors and the politicians who orbit them–and making decisions about where their precious dollars will be spent in a difficult upcoming midterm election: The powerful Koch political network won’t help the Republican nominee in a […]
