WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Joey Bunch at the Colorado Springs Gazette attempts to throw Walker Stapleton a lifeline, in a story today giving Stapleton a wide-open chance to respond to the New York Times report on his family’s history with the Ku Klux Klan–a chance Stapleton notably fails to take: Colorado Politics has sought for months to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As the clock struck midnight last Sunday, Grand Junction night owls saw red–literally. The digital billboard looming over Rimrock Marketplace now displays a massive crimson and yellow “GOP,” but with the “O” replaced by the Russian hammer & sickle icon used by the former Soviet Union. Mesa County progressives purchased the […]

While the New York Times was ruining the current news cycle for Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton nationally, major local news outlets finally caught up to the other line of bad press for Stapleton this week–the ill-explained delay within Stapleton’s office issuing certificates of participation to authorize millions of dollars in funding for capital […]
A story from Marianne Goodland of the Colorado Springs Gazette takes another look at the highly dysfunctional post-divorce personal life of Republican Rep. Tim Leonard–who went to jail for contempt of court in December of 2016 over a conflict with his ex-wife stemming from Leonard’s refusal to cooperate on his kids’ educational matters. The story […]
There is so much breaking news lately on the ever-widening allegations about Russian ties to the Trump campaign that it can be difficult to keep track of everything. With that in mind, we’ve created what we’re calling “The Daily D’oh!” to help you stay up-to-date on President Trump and the rest of the White House staff as more […]
(A bit late for that! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On a conservative radio show over the weekend, former Colorado lawmaker Victor Mitchell had this advice for Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton, who defeated Mitchell in June’s Republican primary for the right to take on Democrat Jared Polis in the Colorado governor’s race. Mitchell: My advice […]
UPDATE #2: House Democrats blast Walker Stapleton for his failure to show up and answer questions today: At a meeting of the CDC last month, nonpartisan staff notified the committee that the Certificates of Participation (COPs) that will launch hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for capital construction and transportation would not to be […]
As multiple media outlets are reporting today, President Trump is staring into the abyss and finding that it looks a lot like his bathroom mirror. From CNN: President Donald Trump is lashing out in all directions as the fallout from his summit with Vladimir Putin becomes ever more toxic, the Russia investigation grinds on with no […]
The Greeley Tribune’s Tyler Silvy follows up today on a story we’ve been tracking for several days now–a growing dispute over the failure of Treasurer Walker Stapleton’s office to issue certificates of participation, a bond-like instrument to finance roads and other capital construction projects across the state, by the original July 1 deadline. A letter […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In 2005, then-Weld County DA Ken Buck declined to prosecute a rape case because, as he told the Greeley Tribune, “a jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer’s remorse.” He repeated the statement in a 2010 debate on Meet the Press. In 2018, Congressman Ken Buck, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Unlike other Republican leaders in Colorado, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) has basically said he doesn’t want to campaign with Trump–though he’s left the door slightly open to it. Back in January, Coffman told Buzzfeed that it “probably wouldn’t be helpful” for him to host Trump in his Aurora district. But […]
We wrote earlier today about the controversy over poorly-explained delays by Treasurer Walker Stapleton’s staff in issuing certificates of participation, bond-like instruments to provide funding for roads and other capital construction projects that were supposed to be issued on July 1 to allow those projects to proceed. Stapleton’s deputy in the treasurer’s office blasted Democrats […]
It’s time for another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” Today, we visit South Dakota and the Rapid City Journal: How did the South Dakota Teen Age Republicans end up hosting a woman at their 2015 camp who was later accused of being an unregistered foreign agent for Russia? Quite […]
If you’re still arguing about the validity of Climate Change, you must not get outside all that often. As Kirk Mitchell writes for the Denver Post, this is a good time to be an air conditioning salesman: The Mile High City tied an all-time heat record in June and hovered around 100 degrees, topping out at 98, […]
We reported yesterday on a letter from Democrats on the legislative Capital Development Committee, calling out Republican Treasurer Walker Stapleton over delays in issuing certificates of participation (COPs) for construction projects across the state–unnecessary delays that could cost real money, not to mention time as important road and other capital construction projects wait for their […]
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Dan Coats was a guest speaker at the Aspen Security Forum today, where he was interviewed on stage by NBC’s Andrea Mitchell. As the Washington Post reports, Coats still has no idea what was discussed during President Trump’s Helsinki meeting: Coats on Thursday acknowledged that he did not know what took place in President Trump’s one-on-one […]
(Asked to clarify, Jensen…could not — Promoted by Colorado Pols) At a campaign stop last month in Wheat Ridge, Colorado State Senate candidate Christine Jensen said “abuses abound” in Colorado’s health insurance program for the poor, which, she said, is a significant cause of Colorado’s budget woes. “There are some that would much rather drive […]
As Erin Prater writes for the Colorado Springs Gazette: U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is prepared to move ahead on moving the Bureau of Land Management headquarters to the West, according to reports. Grand Junction is expected to be a prime possibility for the new national headquarters, partly because of the work of […]
The 2018 election hasn’t even really started to reach a boiling point yet, but with President Trump making an historic ass of himself (and America), it’s never too early to look ahead to the next Presidential election. Writing for CNN, Chris Cillizza and Harry Enten toss out their top 10 early favorites for the Democratic Presidential nomination in […]
A press release from Colorado House Democrats calls out Treasurer Walker Stapleton for delays in funding approved construction projects, with potential negative consequences both economic and on the health and safety of Colorado residents: Today, the Democratic members of the Capital Development Committee (CDC) sent a letter to Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton expressing serious concerns […]
We would be remiss if we failed to note yesterday’s announcement that University of Colorado President Bruce Benson, a former Republican candidate for governor and top-tier GOP financier/kingmaker for many years, will retire at the end of the 2018-19 academic year. Denver7 reports: Benson, 80, has served as president of the university system since March […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you’ve been following the Colorado Times Recorder, you know that we’ve been explaining the Colorado Secretary of State’s (SOS) new rules for enforcing campaign finance laws, which allow everyday citizens to lodge official complaints with the Secretary of State. To clarify the process, we lodged a complaint, alleging that candidate […]
President Trump on Wednesday responded to questions from reporters about his disastrous Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin — a response that has the White House scrambling to explain what the Big Orange Guy really meant to say. As the Washington Post reports: At a White House press briefing, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that President Trump was saying […]
As Marianne Goodland reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, State Rep. Tim Leonard (R-Evergreen) is again making an ass of himself: Republican state Rep. Tim Leonard of Evergreen is under fire for a Facebook post in which he compared women marchers to Hitler’s brownshirts, the Nazi militia members who began the campaigns of violence against […]
