Well, That Was Awkward

President Trump was in Colorado Springs on Thursday for a political rally focused mostly on himself and his various grievances (including the media and The Academy Awards), but also to help out Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) who demonstrated his allegiance earlier this month when he voted to acquit Trump on impeachment charges. Trump has been […]

Trump Squashes Intel That Russia is Trying to Get Him Re-Elected

With President Trump’s Colorado Springs visit getting so much attention on Thursday, you may have missed a bombshell story about Russia’s continuing efforts to meddle in American elections.

Dems Eye Acting Federal Lands Chief Over Possible Misconduct

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Gabriella Novello for the Colorado Times Recorder WASHINGTON, D.C William Perry Pendley is still leading the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the federal agency in charge of most public lands, and has spent the past few weeks rotating between Washington, DC, and the agency’s new headquarters in Grand Junction, Colo. […]

The Donald and Cory Show Open Thread

UPDATE: Colorado Public Radio reports, together forever: Between sweeping tributes to American greatness, sinister warnings and teases about the Space Command — along with complaints about fake news and the Oscars — the president showered praise on Sen. Cory Gardner, the Yuma Republican. “We are going to win Colorado in a landslide. And you’re going […]

A U.S. Senator Held a Town Hall Meeting; Guess Which One?

The answer to the question in the headline is not very difficult to ascertain, so we’ll just skip to this story from The Denver Post: On Tuesday evening, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet fielded concerns about the upcoming election during a town hall to a crowd of around 120 at the Peak Community and Wellness Center […]

New Polling Loaded With More Bad News For Colorado GOP

Global Strategy Group, a nationwide public relations and comms firm, released new polling data via local liberal activist group ProgressNow Colorado reinforcing what a host of recent polls in Colorado have already corroborated: enduring Democratic majority “generic ballot” support from Colorado voters, the continuing deep unpopularity of President Donald Trump, and vulnerable incumbent GOP Sen.

In Advance of Trump Rally, Alleged Orchestrator of Trump’s Racist Rally Tactics Teaches CO Workshop

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) President Trump comes to Colorado Thursday for a rally along with Colorado GOP Sen. Cory Gardner. Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, is in Aurora for a “Keep America Great” rally tomorrow. And, in late-breaking news, John Pence, Vice President Mike Pence’s nephew, will be in Pueblo tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 […]

What you can do to fight back this week (February 18)

Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. In a state that has rejected Donald Trump at the ballot box twice already in 2016 and again indirectly in 2018, Cory Gardner seems self-destructively determined to stick with Trump to the bitter end. On Thursday, Trump and Cory Gardner are holding a rally in Colorado Springs to […]

Colorado Voters Agree on #CoverUpCory

When Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) voted to acquit President Trump on impeachment charges, he barely bothered to come up with an explanation for how he made that decision. Gardner’s post-impeachment media tour was heavy on his absurd talking point that impeachment was actually a “policy question.” Colorado media outlets were not impressed with Gardner’s […]

Trump Springs Colorado’s Most Infamous Political Inmate

NBC News reports: President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he’d commuted the prison sentence of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was impeached and removed from office in 2009 on corruption charges, and pardoned former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik… “He served eight years in jail, a long time,” Trump told reporters at Andrews Air […]

Happy Anniversary: The Stimulus Did Not “Fail”

UPDATE: Who else pushed the fictional “failed stimulus” while running for Congress in the “Tea Party” wave year of 2010? Why that would be Sen. Cory Gardner, of course! Years before Cory Gardner was making stuff up about the Affordable Care Act, the “failed stimulus” was a go-to subject for Gardner on the campaign trail […]

Wow Man That Was A Huge Bernie Rally

As the Denver Post’s Alex Burness reports, but from the look of it plenty of our readers were there: Sen. Bernie Sanders took the stage in Denver on Sunday evening to a deafening roar from a crowd of many thousands of people who rarely let up… Sanders spent only a fraction of his roughly 35-minute […]

Pollster: ‘Striking’ Trends Favor Democrats in Arvada Senate District

Magellan Strategies launched a series of deepish dives into competitive legislative districts yesterday, with a close look a Westminster/Arvada district that had the distinction of being the closest Senate race in 2016. Magellan’s conclusion: “Long story short, whether you’re looking at the percentage of registration or simply just raw number of voters, there is a […]

Ethics Complaint Against Hickenlooper Falls Apart

We’ve been following the silly saga of an ethics complaint filed against former Gov. John Hickenlooper by a partisan “watchdog” organization ever since allegations against the now-U.S. Senate candidate first appeared in late 2018. These charges always looked flimsy, and they are now completely dissolving as we get closer to a conclusive hearing by the Colorado […]

“Law and Order,” Colorado Republican Style

[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”50%”]“We probably won’t see any relief in these kinds of robberies until these businesses aren’t forced to deal only in cash”[/mantra-pullquote]As Westword’s Thomas Mitchell reports, two Republican members of Congress from Colorado, Reps. Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn, have signed on to a letter to the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee […]

Trump Unleashed: Acquittal Has “Emboldened” President

When Senate Republicans acquitted President Trump on two impeachment charges on February 5, some foolhardy souls — like Maine Sen. Susan Collins — tried to argue that the impeachment process itself would make Trump more introspective and less authoritarian. That message remained digestible about as long as a container of cottage cheese left out on […]

Another State Senate Seat May be Off the Board for Republicans

In 2014, voters in Senate District 19 (Arvada/Westminster) elected Republican Laura Woods by a margin of fewer than 700 votes. Woods replaced Democrat Rachel Zenzinger, who had been appointed to the seat vacated by Sen. Evie Hudak in the wake of the 2013 Republican recall efforts. Woods instantly became one of the most hard-right members […]

The Time is Now to Protect the North Fork

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The writing was on the wall, and so it is likely not a surprise to many of us in the North Fork Valley. Still, it was a disappointment when the current administration in Washington DC ripped up a decade of community involvement and local input to dictate an entirely new management […]

Lamborn Super Excited To Gut Social Security, Medicare!

Freshly energized from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday and acquittal in the impeachment trial yesterday, Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs is excited to move on to the next Big Thing he thinks is on the Republican agenda–slashing “entitlement” spending, meaning the Social Security and Medicare benefits millions of Americans and […]
