UPDATE #2: Colorado Democrats would be falling down on the job if they did not take maximum advantage of the Colorado Republican Party’s leadership crisis: Another meeting of the Colorado GOP is scheduled for August 31, 2024, to continue the drama, where it’s possible Party leaders may be removed (again) – or maybe not – […]
UPDATE: What in the hell is the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce doing? Take a look at this from CPR’s Andy Kenney: We weren’t aware that the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce was involved in the mess known as Initiatives 50 and 108…so why are they getting involved now? —– Lawmakers today kicked off the […]
After the vote by a substantial faction of Colorado Republican Party Central Committee members this weekend to fire state party chairman Dave “Brandon Has Left The Building” Williams along with a pair of Williams’ executive loyalists, Williams remains defiant in a statement to the New York Times last night, stating as everyone already knew that […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports this Saturday evening, a hard-won meeting of Colorado Republican Party Central Committee members for the purpose of voting out the current executive leadership of the party starting with chairman and twice-failed congressional candidate Dave “Need A New Nickname, Brandon” Williams took place at a church in Brighton today, and those […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…at least one of us is coming to you live-ish from Chicago where Democrats are producing a convention full of joy, hope, optimism, and more than a few Colorado cameos to counter the GOP convention that was about…hell, who knows? We’ve got plenty of non-DNC stuff to discuss, […]
AP reports from the Sunshine State, where the petty culture-war persecution of LGBTQ+ people by the state’s belligerently conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken another small-minded turn, and this time could cost the state millions in tourism revenue: Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors and St. Petersburg are among several Florida cities that have long […]
Vice President Kamala Harris closed out the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday evening with a rousing speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President and kicking off the last two month scramble toward Election Day. Thursday’s speaker lineup also included two Colorado elected officials: Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Aurora). Governor […]
Colorado lawmakers will return to the State Capitol on Monday for (another) special legislative session focused on property tax rates. It may turn out that the most important discussion from this brief return of legislators could be about a Constitutional amendment that would be a smart issue to tackle in the next regular legislative session […]
Colorado state Rep. Brandi Bradley, now doing double culture-war duty as the leader of the brand-new Douglas County chapter of Moms For Liberty (yes, those Moms For Liberty), has been on the clamorous frontlines of every conceivable wedge issue during her relatively short time in office, earning her a spot in the Colorado House Republican […]
As HuffPost’s Kate Nicholson reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled this week a new program allowing foreign citizens fleeing “destructive neoliberal ideals” in Western nations (that’s you, America) to apply for political asylum in Russia and escape once and for all the woke West and all the icky things we let people do with each […]
(Worse than you thought — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder On the campaign trail, congressional candidate Gabe Evans talks a lot about his experience in the military, police force, and Colorado Legislature. But what you don’t hear him discuss in any detail – and what’s completely absent […]
Readers may recall back in 2020 when a Republican candidate for House District 34, Mark Bromley, was effectively disowned by the district Republican party after getting in a public spat with a homeschool parent. Bromley went on to lose this competitive House race to the incumbent Rep. Kyle Mullica, who was in turn succeeded by […]
The Colorado Republican Party has been getting a lot of terrible press coverage lately for sending emails in support of various state legislative candidates that contain flat-out disgusting rhetoric and ridiculous accusations. Those emails have been so bad, in fact, that Republican candidates intended to benefit from them are speaking out in condemnation instead. For […]
As CNN reports, after all the consternation involved in getting minor presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on the ballot in Colorado, first controversially as the Libertarian Party’s nominee and then by his own devices, Kennedy’s campaign may be about to unceremoniously end with an endorsement of Donald Trump in exchange for a promised position […]
As NBC News reports, expelled former Republican Congressman George Santos’ long ride of fraud and theft that peaked with a partial term in the U.S. House came to an end yesterday, as Santos pled guilty to two felony counts in a deal with prosecutors that will include a mandatory minimum prison sentence: Santos, who was […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, state Sen. Mark Baisley (R-Roxborough Park) claimed in a Facebook post that recent images of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign rallies were “AI generated.” Baisley posited that these videos violate Colorado’s Candidate Election Deepfake Disclosures Act, and should be reported to Colorado Secretary of […]
The Democratic National Convention kicks off today in Chicago, with President Biden serving as the featured speaker on opening night — a remarkable turn of events from what would have been expected just two months ago. Instead of Biden closing out the DNC this week with a speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President, it […]
As we noted last week, convicted ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is in what can be best described as a state of wholesale denial after being found guilty one week ago today on 7 of 10 counts related to her plot to allow unauthorized conspirators access to Dominion Voting Systems equipment in a failed attempt […]
CBS News‘ James LaPorte reports on comments from ex-President Donald Trump last Thursday that have outraged veterans and sent Trump’s cable news surrogates scrambling for acceptable explanations–certainly not the first time that Trump has bizarrely disparaged Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the nation, but in clear terms that make […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…Ian went on a little summer break and…the entire world changed completely! We’ll talk more about the vibe shift, the VP’s VP, the Trump campaign, and so much more. Friend of the Pod, Governor Jared Polis, is calling the Colorado Legislature back into a special session, again, to […]
UPDATE: An eagle-eyed reader pointed out that the statue featured prominently in the “Second Amendment Caucus” logo is no longer in that spot in front of the State Capitol. That statue, which depicted a Civil War soldier who was part of the First Colorado Cavalry unit that took part in the infamous “Sand Creek Massacre,” […]
As the Durango Herald’s Reuben Schafir reports, the latest hate-filled email blast from the Colorado Republican Party ostensibly in support of a swing district Senate candidate is being condemned by the would-be beneficiary, Sen. Cleave Simpson, who says flat-out that the state party’s efforts on his behalf are hurting his campaign: State Sen. Cleave Simpson, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Colorado Republican Rep. Brandi Bradley recently announced her plans to lead a new Moms for Liberty chapter in Douglas County. Bradley was elected in 2022 to House District 39, which includes parts of Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, and other rural parts of the county […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s official, Colorado lawmakers are headed back to class along with the kids later this August, with the goal of saving the state’s schools and local governments from the threat of two ill-advised far-right ballot measures: Colorado Public Radio reports Gov. Jared Polis won’t be signing any compromise without confirmation that controversial Initiatives […]
As Hannah Metzger reports for Westword, former Centennial Institute director turned right-wing radio host Jeff Hunt has struck a blow for political expression inside the Colorado Capitol building, forcing a rule change to allow spectators in the House and Senate galleries to wear their viewpoint on their literal sleeves: Seventeen months after Jeff Hunt was […]
