UPDATE: We’ve posted a few clips from last night’s Castle Rock town council meeting after the jump. You can watch Castle Rock’s city manager and another town employee warning of the consequences of refusing the CDBG grant money on existing recipients in Castle Rock. Then you can watch Castle Rock’s mayor decry the fact that […]
A press release moments ago from Jeffco United confirms that the Jefferson County Clerk has validated petition signatures to force a recall of the conservative majority on the Jefferson County school board. For each of the three board members targeted, more than double the number of signatures were not just collected, but validated–which indicates a […]
As recorded in Des Moines last night, bad but funny stuff just seems to happen to GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio when the cameras roll: The pass, it should be said, was a fairly clean spiral from Rubio. It just missed the young boy’s hands and instead collided with his face. The kid, the Rubio campaign said, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Update: Colorado Independent reporter Nat Stein’s answer to my question of whether Stapleton’s office gave her a reason for declining comment: “His comms guy pretty much hung up on me, and three emails went unanswered,” tweeted Stein. “I just wanna talk!!” ———- When a public official starts to develop a reputation […]
(Perhaps he brought a shovel? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Sizable crowd for Ben Carson in Durango, as photographed just after 2PM today: The factual basis may be lacking (see below), but you can’t deny it: Carson is grandstanding while the grandstanding is good. Will other Republicans don their Animas River hip waders, metaphorical and/or literal? […]
Governor John Hickenlooper juggles a lot of different responsibilities as Colorado’s top elected official — which includes serving as Colorado’s chief tester of gross-looking water, which he did again last week in chugging a bottle of water from the Animas River in the aftermath of the Gold King mine wastewater spill. Hickenlooper agreed to drink from […]

For nearly two weeks now, local and national headlines have been dominated by a spill of acidic mine wastewater by an Environmental Protection Agency work crew into a tributary of the Animas River near Silverton. Investigating longstanding but recently accelerated minewater pollution into Cement Creek, workers punched through debris blocking an abandoned mine entrance, unleashing a torrent […]
In a press release this morning, former Arvada city councillor and appointed Sen. Rachel Zenzinger announces she will run again for the ultra-swing SD-19 seat she lost in 2014 by a razor-thin margin to Republican Laura Waters Woods: Rachel Zenzinger, a former teacher and former member of the Arvada City Council, today announced her candidacy […]
The Citizens For Responsible Education blog follows up on the contract between the conservative Jefferson County school board majority and Novitas Communications, a Republican-aligned public relations outfit headed by Michelle Balch Lyng, former vice-chair of the Denver Republican Party–a contract that appears to have run significantly over budget in its original five months: An investigation […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Donald Trump sort of clarified some aspects of his immigration position over the weekend, giving local media a chance to educate us about the illusory stance of Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora. Trump released a document outlining a number of ideas, but the headliner was his newly articulated opposition to “birthright […]
We noted it in today’s Get More Smarter, but worth its own mention as the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Billie Stanton reports: Americans for Prosperity says no sales tax increase is needed to fix Colorado Springs roads, but Mayor John Suthers says that contention is based on “an incredibly uninformed analysis.” AFP, a Republican political advocacy group, […]
UPDATE #2: Count the Colorado Senate Majority Office in, it’s a male chauvinist dogpile: #Copolitics Thought Police today issued new guidance on use of the word “shrill.” Repubs and men can qualify as “shrill,” but never women — Colorado Senate GOP (@ColoSenGOP) August 14, 2015 Yes, that’s pretty much right, gentlemen!

There’s an interesting story today in The Hill attempting to predict which of the 17 Republican candidates for President will still have active campaigns by the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucus on Feb. 1, 2016. From The Hill’s perspective, there are 7 Republican Presidential candidates who might not make it to the Iowa caucus: Rick Perry, Rand […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) You’d think if there were anyone who’d understand the need for the Black Lives Matter protests, it would be President George W. Bush’s FEMA Secretary Michael “Heck’ve a Job” Brownie. But, alas, no. Apparently forgetting that he embodies the problem that Black Lives Matter is trying to spotlight, Brownie offered his […]
Back in April, we took note of a photo Tweeted by Rep. Ken Buck from his Washington, D.C. office, proudly holding an AR-15 assault rifle with Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina. This photo struck us as a bit curious, since Washington, D.C. has very strict gun laws that outlaw Buck’s AR-15 rifle and the 30-round […]
