Trump Cancels North Korea Summit

UPDATE: As the Associated Press reports, Sen. Cory Gardner apparently has some odd details on the cancellation of the summit with North Korea: Donald Trump’s letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was dictated by the president to his national security adviser, John Bolton. That’s according to Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, who met with Bolton at the […]

Coffman First Praised Trump for Planning a Summit with North Korea and Then for Canceling It

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) jumped on the radio this morning to say it’s a good thing Trump isn’t “so eager” to hold a summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. But three months ago, when Trump was facing criticism for impulsively pursuing a summit, Coffman said it was “positive” for […]

Walker Stapleton Just Makes Stuff Up (MMJ Edition)

Ed Sealover at the Denver Business Journal released an overall fawning profile of GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Walker Stapleton earlier today. Given Stapleton’s solidifying reputation for making stuff up on the campaign trail, any such profile is likely to contain an item or two in need of correction, whether or not the reporter catches it–and the […]

Half-Baked Recall of La Plata County Commish Finally Fails

As the Durango Herald reports, an attempt mounted by fringe-right usual suspects in La Plata County to recall county commissioner Gwen Lachelt over wild allegations that boiled down to mundane partisan disagreements has, after a process that seemingly gave recall organizers every chance in the world to collect enough signatures, failed at long last to […]

How Ray Scott Beats The High Cost of Denver Living

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports–Sen. Ray Scott of Grand Junction, who regularly appears in the political scandal sheets over such matters as his fraught business dealings and squabbles with local media, is in trouble once again for apparently double-billing both the state and his re-election campaign for a sizable reimbursement of transportation […]

Haters Provoke Outpouring of Love in Broomfield

A happy ending to the unsavory story we noted a couple of days ago, as Jennifer Rios of the Boulder Daily Camera reports: When Broomfield residents learned that Broomfield High School was a possible target of hate speech and protest, more than 600 counter-protesters showed up. A “Community Hug” was created in response to a […]

Federal Judge Orders Trump To Stop Blocking Citizens

The Hill reports on a win for transparency on social media that could have repercussions for politicos at all levels–a federal judge has declared that President Donald Trump cannot legally block critics on the Twitter social media platform: Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, said […]

Little Love For Owen Hill In Poll That’s Great For Lamborn

Ernest Luning at the former Colorado Statesman reports: U.S. Rep.

Lamborn, seeking his seventh term, tops […]

Associated Press, CNN Blocked from EPA Meeting

As CNN reports, you should absolutely be worried about the First Amendment under the Trump administration: The Environmental Protection Agency blocked reporters from several news outlets from a national summit on Tuesday where Scott Pruitt, the agency’s chief, was speaking. Journalists from CNN, the Associated Press and E&E News, a publication that covers energy and […]

Women Could Cook Mike Coffman’s Goose Over Guns

An opinion piece in Roll Call today by longtime political reporter Patricia Murphy asks a question we expect to loom large in the 2018 midterm elections: will the GOP’s unswerving support for the laissez faire interpretation of gun rights favored by the National Rifle Association finally become the liability for Republican candidates that has been forecast […]

Debate Diary: Republican Candidates for Governor

The 2018 Primary election is five weeks from today. Ballots will start arriving in mailboxes in about two weeks. You know what that means… …It’s “Debate Diary” time! On Saturday, May 19, candidates for Governor met at the Garden Pavilion at Penrose House in Colorado Springs for a debate sponsored by the Colorado Springs Gazette, the […]

Davos and the 51st State

Agriculture is one of the largest global industries yet to be disrupted.  Less than a decade ago who would have recognized the names Moderna? General Assembly? Alibaba? Netflix? Grubhub? Square or Venmo? AirBnB? We’re a conservative bunch, prone to the belief that we’re ‘different’; that somehow our way of life is immune to the global […]

Lynne, Lopez, Stapleton Say To Hell With Transparency

A story from the Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins today documents a considerable break with the longstanding practice of Colorado gubernatorial candidates releasing their tax returns for public scrutiny: “I don’t think it’s appropriate. I don’t think it’s relevant,” said Democratic Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne, when asked if she would release the past three years of […]

“Whacktivist” TABOR Diehards Lose Again

AP reports via Denver7: The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld a 20-cent surcharge on grocery bags in the city of Aspen. Monday’s ruling represents the second time in the last month that the court has rejected a constitutional challenge brought under the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights. TABOR requires voter approval for all taxes. The government […]

At Least It’s Not Your Incredibly Racist Primary…Yet

Mother Jones’ Pema Levy reports on the Republican gubernatorial primary in the state of Georgia–a race setting new and unsettling precedent for its open appeals to racism, and even vigilante violence against undocumented immigrants: The Republican gubernatorial primary in Georgia has devolved in recent weeks into a chest-thumping argument over which candidate hates undocumented immigrants […]

Westboro Baptist Douchebags Get Even More Pathetic

Denver7’s Oscar Contreras reports, the teensy-tiny gene pool that is the congregation of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka is headed to Broomfield High School for their next maximum shock-value protest. Why Broomfield received this honor is anybody’s guess: The Westboro Baptist Church, the group infamously known for picketing the funerals of slain U.S. […]

Stapleton Blows Friendliest School Safety Interview Ever

Heads are spinning this morning over an interview of Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton on the Fox News Channel in response to yesterday’s tragic school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas–an interview in which Stapleton showed himself to be painfully unprepared to discuss one of the nation’s most critical issues: .@WalkerStapleton: “There should be.. an armed […]

Walker Stapleton Has a PERA Problem

State Treasurer Walker Stapleton still appears to be the frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination with less than six weeks to go until the June 26th Primary, but the wheels are coming off when it comes to Stapleton’s signature issue of PERA reform. As Blair Miller explains in a detailed story for Denver7, Stapleton has talked himself into […]

As Politico reports, Republicans still can’t figure out what to do with their majority in Congress: The House Freedom Caucus on Friday sank a partisan farm bill over an immigration dispute with GOP leadership, delaying a bill that included President Donald Trump’s push to impose stricter work requirements on food stamp recipients. The bill went down, […]
