UPDATE: Jonathan Chait at the Daily Intelligencer: Kavanaugh’s friends gathered testimony attempting to refute Ramirez’s allegations weeks before The New Yorker’s story was published. Some of the witnesses were contacted by people working on Kavanaugh’s behalf as early as July, according to text messages one witness has shared with the FBI. This demonstrates to a […]
The Denver Post reports on the first publicly-available poll this fall in the race to become the next Governor of Colorado, which shows Democrat Jared Polis with a seven-point lead over Republican Walker Stapleton. This figure is pretty consistent with what we’ve heard about internal polls from both sides in recent weeks, but the breakdown of […]
(#MeToo madness? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) “And so if your listeners don’t like what’s going on and they don’t like the Democrat behavior at the U.S. Senate, then they shouldn’t like it at the state Senate, either. And if we don’t get out the vote — and if we don’t turn in our ballots […]
It’s a familiar sight after almost two years of Trump: crowds of protesters in front of Sen. Cory Gardner’s office. It’s happening almost every day now, as the battle over the nomination of accused rapist Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court grinds on. The message is simple: we’re watching, Sen. Gardner. And we won’t […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Sen. Randy Baumgardner (R-Hot Sulphur Springs) shared a fake news article on his Facebook page this week titled, “BREAKING: Broncos VP John Elway Storms Field, Fires 3 Kneeling Players on the Spot.” You’d think that little or no depth of thought would be required to question the veracity of this […]
UPDATE: USA TODAY: Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley disputed accusations from Democrats that he and his staff have tried to brush away allegations against Brett Kavanaugh from a second accuser, Deborah Ramirez. During Friday’s committee meeting, the Iowa Republican said he “acted immediately” to investigate her charges and that his staff “repeatedly” tried to […]
The news today will be dominated by two things: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s planned meeting with President Trump at the White House, which may end with Rosenstein out of a job (postponed), and the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The Kavanaugh hearings got underway at 8:00 this morning, with Dr. Christine […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Compact Call Talk was heard this summer in water circles, of a scary scenario coming to pass should the rivers keep shrinking: A call under the 1922 Colorado River Compact, which parcels up the Colorado River (and its tributaries) among seven thirsty states, and divides its flows between “upper” and […]
Once again, Colorado is ground zero in a U.S. Supreme Court confirmation battle. Yesterday, an explosive new story from investigative journalist Ronan Farrow documents a second allegation of severe sexual misconduct committed by U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. [1] This latest allegation was leveled by a Colorado woman, Deborah Ramirez, who attended Yale University […]
As a new allegation of sexual assault from a Colorado resident makes nationwide headlines, hundreds of Coloradans gathered Monday outside the downtown Denver offices of Sen. Cory Gardner to call for Brett Kavanaugh’s withdrawal from consideration to the U.S. Supreme Court, and for Sen. Gardner to apologize for failing to take credible allegations of sexual […]
UPDATE #3: Denver7’s Blair Miller with more local support for Deborah Ramirez: Lisa Calderon, who currently teaches at Denver’s Regis University and was Ramirez’s supervisor while the two worked together at Safehouse Progressive for Nonviolence (SPAN), said the attacks on Ramirez were unfair. Ramirez has been working for Boulder County as a volunteer since 2013, […]
MONDAY UPDATE: .@Marshall9News captures this pic of Debbie Ramirez’ trash can, which could be the best “no comment” in the history of news. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/03BvfLA0dP — Vic Vela (@VicVela1) September 24, 2018 —– Investigative journalist Ronan Farrow, whose exposure of ex-Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s chronic sexual harassment, alleged sexual assault, and acknowledged stomach-churning exploitation of women […]
After several days of ugly press for Republican leadership in the Colorado General Assembly, caught making highly regrettable jokes minimizing the sexual assault allegations against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that invited basic questions about their respect either for women and laws protecting them, last night we saw a belated retaliatory strategy take shape. […]
RIP, restraint. President Trump may have pulled a muscle this week from patting himself on the back so hard over his out-of-character silence about Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were both in high school. On Friday, Trump predictably abandoned that approach […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Senate GOP is responding to Bente Birkeland’s story, and it’s a disaster: Colorado Senate Republicans today raised objections to a Colorado Public Radio report, appearing Tuesday, that falsely suggested Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert and other lawmakers made jokes on social media about allegations of sexual misconduct that have emerged in the […]
UPDATE #2: President Trump voices his support for another hearing. From the Washington Post: “We want to go through a full process,” Trump told reporters at an event on workforce development. He added that the Senate will “go through a process and hear everybody out.” —– UPDATE: Chris Cillizza of CNN explains how everything changed this […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Its still too early to tell how damaging Hurricane Florence is going to be, and those aiding in the rescue under way and the recovery to come deserve our, and the government’s, full support. But there is one thing we can almost certainly be sure of. Whether the storm lives up […]

Democrat @JaredPolis doesn’t want #Colorado voters to know that he avoided paying taxes with an offshore Cayman Island account. Watch the TV ad that Polis is desperate for you not to see. #COpolitics pic.twitter.com/nqMn6k97pe — The RGA (@The_RGA) September 12, 2018 A new-ish ad running from the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) (above) attacks Democratic gubernatorial […]
UPDATE: From NARAL Pro Choice Colorado: “On behalf of our 56,000 members statewide, NARAL thanks Senator Bennet for reflecting Colorado voters and values with a no vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. Senator Bennet is absolutely correct – Judge Kavanaugh is a threat to our reproductive rights and represents a direct threat to gut and overturn […]
(Gross — promoted by Colorado Pols) Every year, Republican lawmakers gather at Tom Ready’s Steak Fry fundraiser. Ready is an unapologetic racist and anti-government conspiracy theorist whose annual backyard BBQ nevertheless continues to draw GOP candidates and elected officials of all levels, including Congressman Scott Tipton. Ready’s history of overt racism, homophobia and Islamophobia has […]
During last week’s confirmation hearings for Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Americans witnessed another worst-case scenario. The truth about Brett Kavanaugh–that he will solidify a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court, endanger women’s rights, LGBT rights, and the rights of everyone in America–can no longer be denied. Kavanaugh won’t say how he would […]
