On this day in 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to receive a major party’s nomination for President; things kinda went downhill from there. It’s time to Get More Smarter.

In 2015 I was shocked that Corey Gardner (R) was elected as a US Senator for Colorado. Now I’m no political guru but I feel like I pay attention to politics more than most people and it bothered me to be shocked by an election outcome. I must’ve been missing something. I thought maybe I […]
As Erin Prater writes for the Colorado Springs Gazette: U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is prepared to move ahead on moving the Bureau of Land Management headquarters to the West, according to reports. Grand Junction is expected to be a prime possibility for the new national headquarters, partly because of the work of […]

UPDATE: New York Times columnist David Leonhardt takes note of Cory Gardner’s lack of testicular fortitude: A few Republicans, like Senator John McCain, offered strong rebukes to President Trump’s anti-American, pro-Russian ramblings yesterday. More Republicans, unfortunately, offered weak excuses. (My vote for the single weakest statement goes to either Senators Cory Gardner of Colorado or […]
Brett Kavanaugh. Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump. Walker Stapleton. This past weekend, resistance events across Colorado set the stage of the biggest summer of organizing ahead of a major election in at least a decade. Conservatives like Walker Stapleton and Cory Gardner tried to assure the party faithful that all is well and Donald Trump is […]
UPDATE #5: Traitor. —– UPDATE #4: As James Fallows writes for The Atlantic, the moment of truth is at hand for Congressional Republicans: There are exactly two possible explanations for the shameful performance the world witnessed on Monday, from a serving American president. Either Donald Trump is flat-out an agent of Russian interests—maybe witting, maybe unwitting, from fear of […]
As the Colorado Independent’s John Herrick reports, a few members of the Colorado General Assembly convened yesterday as a “Legislative Workplace Interim Study Committee,” to address an issue that dominated the headlines during the 2018 session of the legislature: what has been exposed to be a pervasive and well-entrenched culture of sexual harassment by lawmakers […]

Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado’s statement on the nomination of conservative judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the Supreme Court, Donald Trump’s second such pick after Republicans (including Gardner) prevented a vote on President Barack Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland in 2016 setting in motion an ideological shift on the court that will be felt for […]
UPDATE #4: NARAL Pro Choice Colorado’s Karen Middleton: “President Trump has said he will only nominate Justices who will overturn and gut Roe v. Wade, and we take him at his word. Judge Kavanaugh recently argued that a young immigrant woman, despite meeting all of Texas’ burdensome requirements to get an abortion, should not be […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s the kind of conservative Facebook post you might roll your eyes at and move on, except it was posted just before last week’s murder of five staffers at a Maryland newspaper. “Look at this….!!!” wrote the Montrose County (southern Colorado) Republican Party on its Facebook page, referring to a meme […]
During the Republican gubernatorial primary that concluded this past week, nominee Walker Stapleton worked really hard to establish himself as an ally of President Donald Trump–including his bogus claim to have been the “only state treasurer” to support Trump’s tax cut bill, which came as news for a whole slew of fellow Republican state treasurers.

The 2018 Colorado Primary Election is finally over – even the GOP race for State Treasurer – so it’s time for us to run through our list of Winners and Losers. Let’s get to it… WINNERS Jared Polis This is an obvious takeaway from the Primary, but there’s more to it than just calling […]
UPDATE #3: Statement from NARAL Pro Choice Colorado: This is a crisis and the threat to safe, legal abortion in Colorado and around the country is very real. This is why Colorado must elect a pro-choice Governor, and why our Senators must take action now to stop any anti-choice Supreme Court nominee. President Trump has […]
Walker Stapleton will almost certainly be the Republican nominee for Governor. This is almost certainly not great news for Colorado Republicans. We’re just days away from the June 26 Primary, and the overwhelming favorite for the GOP gubernatorial nomination is running a campaign that has Republican observers positively terrified. “I’m starting to worry that Bill […]
Residents of Fountain, Colorado are being told that they can once again use groundwater that was contaminated by firefighting chemicals two years ago, though the safety of the water from the Widefield Aquifer is still under debate. Congressman Doug Lamborn’s office was promoting a “Safe Drinking Water Ceremony” on Wednesday to mark this event, and we […]

UPDATE: As NBC News reports, it’s getting increasingly difficult for the White House — and Congressional Republicans — to deflect blame for this crisis: The idea of separating migrant children from their mothers was discussed during the earliest days of the Trump administration as a way to deter asylum-seekers, according to notes from a closed-door […]
As I write this message, a humanitarian crisis is unfolding on the nation’s southern border. Thousands of children are being forcibly separated from their parents and housed in facilities that meet the literal and moral definition of internment camps. Taking innocent children from their families and placing them in internment camps is wrong. What is […]
