Top brass from every branch of the United States military flew in from all over the world to attend a lecture in Virginia today in which Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, or War (or whatever) called them fat and President Trump rambled about a bizarre proposal to conduct military training in American cities while demanding […]
(Nonpartisan no more — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Municipal elections in Aurora are supposed to be non-partisan, but while Aurora’s elections are many things, non-partisan is not one of them. Last week, Aurora City Councillor Danielle Jurinsky and her slate of Republican-backed candidates held a rally at the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, despite polling showing that Colorado voters have soured on Democrats, they have not sweetened up to Republicans — we explain why in a new segment called “Which is Worser.” Then, Colorado braces for a recession as prices keep rising everywhere, the job market looks like it’s really starting […]
As the Washington Post reports, we’re twelve hours and counting down to another shutdown of the federal government, and President Donald Trump via Republican congressional leadership is showing no sign of concession to Democrats in the U.S. Senate they need to pass a continuing resolution: Republicans have proposed keeping the government funded at current levels […]
As the Greeley Tribune’s Tyler Duncan reports, it’s another case of America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans making an astonishing claim that left us momentarily speechless: “Energy security is national security,” Evans said. “Energy security fuels our economy, which fuels our ability to manufacture and make things. That fuels our position as the global leader […]
As we’ve long documented in this space, the Colorado Republican Party may theoretically exist for the purpose of defeating Democrats, but its members truly love nothing more than a messy internal fight. The latest bout of nonsense (pun intended) took place in Aurora on Saturday. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as […]
(Republished under Creative Commons License by Colorado Pols) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline September 29, 2025 Colorado voters will be asked this fall to weigh in on two ballot measures concerning the state’s free school meals program, the only statewide contests in the 2025 off-year election. Propositions LL and MM were referred to the ballot […]
Back in 2022, GOP Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer was running for Congress in Colorado’s then brand-new and closely divided CO-08 with no apologies about one of the wackier points in her long record in elected office representing deep red Weld County, helping organize in 2013 a proposal for Weld and several other lightly-populated rural Colorado counties […]
As KOAA News5’s Alasyn Zimmerman reported yesterday, while the Trump administration and Republicans in Washington, D.C. were doing their best to distract you with everything but the proverbial kitchen sink: Standing outside Congressman Jeff Crank’s Colorado Springs Office Wednesday afternoon, Sky Roberts and his wife Amanda urged the congressman to support a bill that would […]
As 9NEWS’ Jeremy Jojola reports, there’s been a new development in an ongoing case out of Weld County that, since we discussed the political misuse of this case previously, we are obliged to also update: Two weeks after the release from jail of a man whom law enforcement called dangerous, that man is back in […]
House Republicans in Colorado selected freshman Rep. Jarvis Caldwell (R-Monument) as their new Minority Leader last Saturday, surely hoping that he could do a better job than Rose Pugliese, the previous “Leader” who threw a tantrum and resigned from the legislature 10 days ago. The early returns are not encouraging. Pugliese was an absolute mess […]
As NBC News reports, the White House has introduced a new and troubling potential consideration to the increasingly urgent debate over legislation to keep the government from entering another shutdown on October 1st–a threat to permanently fire employees who would normally only be furloughed in a shutdown and then reinstated with back pay: The White […]
State Senator Barb Kirkmeyer (R-Brighton), now a Republican candidate for Governor in 2026, has been dubbed “Both Ways Barb” for her tendency to offer conflicting opinions on a variety of subjects. Kirkmeyer showed again recently how a selective memory of her own political and policy positions continues to get her in trouble. In a recent […]
On Monday, our friends at the Colorado Times Recorder put out a story detailing some decidedly non-mainstream views held by the Colorado Libertarian Party’s Secretary and 2026 Secretary of State candidate James Wiley regarding the recent assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk–alleging and then apparently standing by under pressure his belief that Kirk was killed […]
Back in January 2019, the satirical publication The Onion targeted then-Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) for a laugh by joking that polling data indicated that Americans blamed Tipton for a government shutdown that lasted more than a month (the true cause was President Trump’s insistence that Congress provide $5.7 billion for a border wall with Mexico […]
Late night television host Jimmy Kimmel returns to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” tonight on ABC after parent company Disney reversed course on last week’s “indefinite” suspension amid a flood of protests from activists, celebrities, and production studios. Kimmel marked the occasion by posting a photo on Instagram posing with the late Norman Lear, a longtime television […]
There isn’t time in the news cycle to take note of every ad that goes up in America’s hottest U.S. House race, Colorado’s ultra-swing CO-08 featuring America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans, but when it’s a timely, hard-hitting, and (most importantly) well-funded ad campaign like this latest offering from the House Majority Forward PAC, […]
As Nick Coltrain reports for The Denver Post, Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign promises to lower inflation and the cost of goods have been ignored. Instead, Colorado and the rest of the country on the brink of a recession: Colorado state government faces a continuing dim fiscal picture heading into next year as a slowing economy, […]
(It’s not the Libertarian Party you remember — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder The Libertarian Party of Colorado’s Executive Director Jim Wiley believes that the Israeli government is responsible for murdering Charlie Kirk. Wiley repeatedly made this claim as well as a series of other antisemitic statements in his public […]

Things are going to be weird for a little while while we complete this process. In the meantime, you may use Disqus with any account option available and those […]
Over the weekend, MSNBC broke the latest problematic news for the “most transparent administration in American history”–a story that in any other administration would have ended in federal bribery charges, but because border czar Tom Homan is tight with Donald Trump, no such legal oversight apparently applies: The federal investigation was launched in western Texas […]
Colorado House Republicans on Saturday selected Rep. Jarvis Caldwell (R-Monument) to be their new Minority Leader following last week’s surprise resignation of Rep. Rose Pugliese (R-Colorado Springs). The House Republican caucus met over Zoom on Saturday morning to choose their new Minority Leader. Caldwell received 12 votes, with fellow Reps. Larry Don Suckla (R-Montezuma County) […]
No matter their political affiliation, most major party nominees for President of the United States generally repeat a similar phrase in which they promise to be a President for all Americans. Most of them probably even mean what they say. Democrat Joe Biden said it when he was elected in 2020. Four years later, Democratic Presidential […]
An eye-opening new poll from AP/NORC should serve as a giant flashing red light for Republicans. As The Associated Press explains: Republicans’ outlook on the direction of the country has soured dramatically, according to a new AP-NORC poll that was conducted shortly after last week’s assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The share of Republicans who […]
This week, as CBS4 Denver’s Republican-friendly political correspondent Shaun Boyd reports, three out of the four Republican members of the state’s congressional delegation sent a letter to Gov. Jared Polis, accompanied by a Zoom press call last night, blasting Colorado Democrats for their supposed “soft on crime” policies, and calling for a second special session […]
