Was President Trump involved in illegal campaign coordination with the Russian government? Did Trump conspire to obstruct justice into investigations about potential coordination with Russia? Set aside, for a moment, your opinions on either of these questions. As Chris Cillizza writes for CNN, there is at least one question about this investigation that cannot be disputed: Trump and the […]
Last week, Republican gubernatorial candidate Victor Mitchell released a television advertisement that hit hard at fellow Republican candidate Walker Stapleton over the latter’s ties to the Bush family and his high-society East Coast roots.

USA TODAY’s David Jackson reports via affiliate 9NEWS and it’s so damn exciting: After a rare meeting with a high-ranking North Korean official, President Trump said Friday he has rescheduled a June 12 summit in Singapore with Kim Jong Un as part of a long-term effort to try and end the latter’s nuclear weapons programs.

It’s time for another one of our world-famous debate diaries. Today we’re taking you through the blow-by-blow of a one-hour debate between Democratic candidates for Governor as part of the “Colorado Decides” series — sponsored by Colorado Public Television, CBS4 Denver, KOA NewsRadio and KUNC. This debate took place on the afternoon of May 30, […]
One of the biggest factors undermining the popularity of the Affordable Care Act ever since its passage in 2010 was the broad prevalence of misinformation about the law’s provisions and effects. This misinformation ranged from the wildly inaccurate–“death panels” and similar baseless nonsense–to much more subtle inaccuracies like bogus 2014 story in the Denver Post […]

Sen. Cory Gardner is in Thailand this week, and here’s photographic proof: We hadn’t seen any announcement of a foreign junket by Sen. Gardner, but his duties on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee frequently send him to Asia–like last year, when he paid a visit to controversial Filipino strongman Rodrigo Duterte and caught flak for […]

UPDATE: Trump also reportedly considering a pardon of Martha Stewart and former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (now a guest at Colorado’s own FCI Englewood).

GOP gubernatorial candidate Victor Mitchell is taking the gloves off in his latest 30-second TV spot, punching squarely at GOP frontrunner Walker Stapleton’s close relations to the Bush family political dynasty. We’re not completely sold on the animation quality, which seems like it might have been made with some kind of online video generator–but the […]
A press release from a coalition of groups who launched a ballot initiative campaign to cap interest rates on so-called “payday loans”–a finance product aimed at struggling consumers that frequently traps borrowers in a cycle of unaffordable debt at interest rates that would blow creditworthy consumers away: A coalition of community, faith, and advocacy organizations […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A leading Republican candidate for governor told a talk radio host Saturday that he voted for a constitutional amendment that, if it hadn’t been overwhelmingly defeated by Colorado voters, would have banned all abortion, even for rape, and possibly some forms of birth control. Asked by KNUS 710-AM host Craig Silverman […]
If you missed this story from the Colorado Independent last week, you almost certainly weren’t alone; publishing a story on a Friday afternoon before a three-day Holiday weekend is the news equivalent of throwing rocks at the sun. But just because the story might have gotten lost doesn’t mean it isn’t important. As Corey Hutchins reports […]
After President Donald Trump announced last week that a high-profile summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was cancelled, Republicans who cheered the initial announcement of the summit–despite their condemnation of President Barack Obama for even considering the same thing–dutifully walked back their accolades in order to support their President’s erratic negotiation style. CBS4 […]
