Tony Sanchez is like the Winter Olympics of Colorado politics: He re-appears every four years to a lukewarm reception, and most everything he does is fairly confusing. This snapshot from Sanchez’s Twitter feed tells you everything you need to know about his return to Colorado politics: Colorado political observers will recall that Sanchez emerged out of nowhere […]
(Fox News scandal comes home? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s conservative pundits are not a monolith when it comes to discussing recent allegations of a corporate culture at Fox News which allegedly enabled years of sexual harassment by high-profile leaders and personalities at the network. Take Colorado Springs’ syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin and KNUS […]
Denver7 reporting from the aftermath of a massive explosion last week in Firestone that completely destroyed a new home, killing two people and severely injuring two others–an explosion that occurred less than 200 feet from a 20-year-old oil well owned by Anadarko Petroleum: A Houston-based company announced just over a week after a fatal home […]
The U.S. Senate took a field trip to the White House on Wednesday for a “policy briefing” on North Korea that was really just a poorly-disguised photo op for President Trump to convince Americans — on the eve of his first 100 days in office — that he really does do Presidential stuff from time to time. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This is yet another story about Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) making a head-spinning change on a serious issue, acting as if no shift had occurred, and sliding by reporters who barely noticed or ignored it. This time it’s the evolution of Coffman’s stance on Russian meddling in the 2016 election. In […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Prescient from the Denver Post’s Megan Schrader earlier this month–and keep in mind that Schrader is a former Colorado Springs Gazette employee: Caught in the middle — and asked to testify — are two former employees of [Beauprez’s] nonprofit: Dede Laugesen, the wife of Colorado Springs Gazette editorial page editor Wayne Laugesen, and newly […]
With a new Affordable Care Act repeal proposal making the rounds in Washington, D.C., all eyes in Colorado are on Rep. Mike Coffman–who made what is universally regarded as a major unforced error by announcing his support for the original “Trumpcare” bill just before it was killed by GOP leadership for lack of support. A […]

Earlier today in the Colorado Senate, Sen. Tim Neville (R-MGO) spoke in support of SJR17-042, a resolution honoring victims of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Turkish government during World War I. But simply honoring the victims of genocide wasn’t enough for Sen. Neville, who turned the discussion into an argument against “gun control.” As […]
As you may have heard, Saturday will mark 100 days in office for President Trump. We’re not sure when Trump will celebrate his 100th day in the White House — he’s spent about a quarter of his time visiting his Mar-a-lago resort in Florida — but Trump has nearly been the actual President of the United States for 100 whole […]
As John Frank reports for the Denver Post: A bipartisan measure backed by Colorado’s top lawmakers to seek a sales tax hike for transportation reached the end of the road Tuesday. A state Senate panel defeated the proposal to pump $3.5 billion into improving the state’s highways along party-lines with the three Republican members citing ideological opposition to […]
We wrote yesterday about the advancement of HB17-1088, otherwise known as “Keyser’s Law,” because the bill seeks to correct a rather large loophole in the signature-gathering process for candidates — a loophole that former Republican Senate candidate Jon Keyser infamously exploited in his 2016 Senate bid. “Keyser’s Law” is headed to the desk of Gov. John Hickenlooper […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Sen. Cory Gardner’s tele-town hall yesterday featured as much excitement as was possible with the ability to mute whatever he didn’t like: In the video clip above, you can see several of Gardner’s extremely evasive answers to questions about investigating President Donald Trump, Trump’s tax returns, and excessive costs of the President’s travel.

Peter Marcus’ interview last weekend with Rep. Jared Polis, in which Polis muses about the possibility of running for governor, is not itself newsbreaking–but renewed speculation about Polis making a run for governor in 2018 is nonetheless provoking a fair amount of discussion this week and deserves a mention in this space: “I’m going to […]
Republicans have a new candidate for Governor in 2018: This guy! “This guy” is Doug Robinson, a nephew of former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Aside from the fact that one of Robinson’s parents is a sibling of Romney — and that Robinson was a co-chair of Romney’s finance committee in Colorado — we can’t tell you […]

AP reporting on the unanimous final passage of House Bill 17-1088, legislation to require the Colorado Secretary of State’s office to apply the same standards for checking signatures on candidate petitions as is already done for ballot measure petitions and mail ballots: Colorado is tightening requirements for the petitions gathered by would-be political candidates. A […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a major change since last year, state Republicans are now proposing specific cuts to Medicaid, Colorado’s health care program for the elderly, disabled, and other poor people. In 2016, local Republican leaders repeatedly blamed Medicaid, including its expansion under Obamacare, for Colorado’s budget woes, but they didn’t explain how they’d cut Medicaid or […]
Again via the Colorado Independent’s Kelsey Ray, we’re obliged to give the treatment Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper received at yesterday’s March for Science in Denver a mention–navigate to 13:00 in the video above to watch what happened: As soon as the Governor took to the stage in Civic Center to address a crowd of thousands, a […]
Denver Post reporting, but you were probably there from the look of it: Thousands of scientists and science supporters joined the March For Science through downtown Denver Saturday in the city’s largest rally since the Women’s March in January. In cities across the globe — as close as Boulder and as far away as Washington […]
You’re probably aware that yesterday was April 20, a day that has become something of a quirky holiday around the world because of the popularity of marijuana (click here for more about how 4/20 became associated with marijuana use). For many Colorado residents, however, April 20 is a somber reminder of a different sort: The […]
A triumphant lowbrow culture-on-the-skids moment in the Oval Office yesterday, as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined rock stars Ted Nugent and Kid Rock for a field trip to see their hero President Donald Trump: No word yet on whether the White House was graced with a performance of Nugent’s hit song Jailbait or the […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper reports: [Rep. Scott] Tipton, the Republican who represents Pueblo and the 3rd Congressional District, faced a town-hall meeting crowd of more than 100 people at Pueblo West High School– many of whom were clearly Democrats — but he took questions for 45 minutes and stayed after to talk informally […]
