As we prepare to put the politically exceptional year of 2025 in the history books, KOAA-TV Colorado Springs’ politics broporter Brett Forrest caught up with freshman Rep. Jeff Crank to review the first chaotic year of Donald Trump’s second term in the White House, the effects of legislation Crank had a hand in passing in […]
As we noted over the weekend, Governor Jared Polis is hearing from a bipartisan group of county clerks and prosecutors who want him to refuse requests from the Justice Department to take federal custody of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder serving a 9-year prison sentence for breaking into her own election […]
We wrote yesterday about freshman GOP Rep. Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd’s switch from in-person meetings with constituents to telephone town halls, following an incident last month in which Hurd’s Southwest regional staffer fled the scene of a library town hall after blanching at the size of the gathered crowd. On Tuesday evening, Rep. Hurd conducted […]
UPDATE: President-elect Trump is already claiming the scalp, as The Washington Post reports: Trump said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg “probably” ended the company’s fact-checking program because of the threats Trump had made against the company. Speaking at his news conference in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said the decision was very “impressive.” —– As The New […]
We’re just over a week away from the election in one of the nation’s most competitive congressional districts, where Republican freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans is running a close race against the incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo. Throughout the campaign since winning the Republican primary in June, Evans has struggled with a cagey position on […]
The trial of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters on multiple felony counts stemming from the illegal access and theft of data from Dominion Voting Machines equipment in her care back in 2021 heard testimony yesterday from Peters’ former chief deputy clerk Belinda Knisley, who accepted a plea agreement almost two years ago in this […]
As Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports–after botching their attempt at revenge against GOP-flipped-Democratic Sen. Kevin Priola in a recall that never got off the ground, Republicans have a candidate to try again for this swing seat the old-fashioned way: Platteville Republican Scott Bright, the owner of a chain of child […]
MONDAY UPDATE: As Nick Riccardi and David Klepper report for The Associated Press, Peters embodies a problem that the entire Republican Party will be dealing with in 2024: During his conference, Lindell prefaced the video by saying “it isn’t about evidence” and meant to evoke the atmosphere of December 2020, as Trump was challenging the […]
(promoted by Colorado Pols) by Sean Price, Colorado Times Recorder This year in the lead-up to November’s midterm elections, prominent oil and gas and pharmaceutical companies mostly donated to Republican politicians and conservative-leaning groups, according to an analysis of state and federal campaign finance records by the Colorado Times Recorder. In Colorado, the Democratic party has […]
The latest fundraising figures for state races were released earlier this week, and most of the news for Republicans was pretty grim. Take a look at the cash-on-hand (COH) numbers for Republicans in the top four state races in 2018 compared to 2022: These are not good numbers, but perhaps Colorado Republicans can feel […]
Colorado Newsline’s Laura Olson reports: In the next phase of President Joe Biden’s sales pitch for his $2 trillion infrastructure package, his administration is framing its argument around the mounting, unmet needs in states as it seeks to build public support for another massive spending bill. Democrats are also hitting back at criticisms from congressional […]
A nascent campaign in conservative Weld County to secede from the state of Colorado and join our northern neighbor of Wyoming–which would result in an interesting new shape for that formerly square state–is reportedly set to kick off next week: Here is the petition. We will have the signatures pages printed next week and can […]
It’s been a year most of us would have rather slept through, but 2020 is finally coming to a close. The events of this past year have tested the fundamentals of what holds our society together like nothing we’ve experienced in our lifetimes. Today, with the end of the COVID-19 pandemic finally in sight with […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Earlier this year, just before the coronavirus pandemic, the Trump administration launched a program allowing states opt out of traditional Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for low-income people, and instead receive a block grant from the federal government. Trump’s block-grant program, widely seen as a back-door way of killing Obamacare, […]
CNN reports on the what appears to be the final disposition of Michael Bloomberg’s failed presidential campaign–a big check to the Democratic National Committee to help take out Donald Trump in November irrespective of the nominee: Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign transferred $18 million to the Democratic National Committee on Friday, turning to the committee to […]
Right-wing agit-prop site Breitbart News ran a notable short piece today, celebrating Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado’s earlier appearance this morning on Fox News to explain his opposition to any measure to restrict President Donald Trump’s war powers concerning action against Iran: In an interview with Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Gardner called on his […]
.@SenCoryGardner has done a fantastic job representing the people of Colorado. He really knows how to win. Strong on Crime, Borders & the 2nd A, Cory fights hard for our Military & Vets. John Hickenlooper is badly damaged after his horrible run for President. Big Primary trouble! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 23, 2019 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Governing Magazine give an initial review of Governors elected in 2018 and their performance so far in office. They rate Polis as among those who are “Thriving”, specifically citing his full-day kindergarten, gun control measures, oil and gas reforms, and health care cost reduction measures. https://www.governing.com/topics/politics/gov-rookie-governors-elected-2018-thriving.html Collaborating with a friendly legislature, […]
No one can say that Senator Cory Gardner isn’t showing up in western Colorado. In fact, reporting is that he’ll be there today, standing side-by-side with the Trump administration’s #2 (excluding princelings, nepotistic anointments, and miscellaneous favorites and family, of course). And all a curious Coloradan need to do to see our senator up close […]
CBS4 reported last night on a story that troubles us today for a few different reasons: [Rep. Kyle Mullica] introduced a bill requiring parents who want to opt their kids out of vaccines to get a standardized form from the health department first. He says he knew it would be controversial…But he never dreamed it […]
Late last week, the Colorado political chattering class was taken by surprise when organizers of a ballot initiative to overturn the recently-passed Senate Bill 19-181 reforming oversight of the oil and gas industry announced they were calling off the effort for 2019 in order to assess the effects of the law on the industry. Although […]
(promoted by Colorado Pols) CIA Director Gina Haspel will brief U.S. Senate “committee leaders” Tuesday, likely giving U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) the chance to confirm his doubts about the CIA’s reported conclusion that Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman knew about the plot to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Last week, appearing on conservative talk radio, […]
NBC News reports, it appears to be over: Sen. Susan Collins, who had been the last undecided Republican vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, announced Friday she will vote in favor of President Donald Trump’s pick, virtually ensuring his confirmation when the full Senate holds its final vote on Saturday. In a speech on […]
There’s been quite a bit of discussion among Colorado journalists lately regarding a new website called “The Energy Accountability Project” (EAP), which appears to be little more than a media bashing tool that is half-heartedly disguised as a “fact checking” resource. We’ll have more discussion on the EAP site a bit later in this space, […]
Having taken note of the original story of a Denver grand jury investigating alleged official misconduct by GOP Secretary of State Wayne Williams, we’re honor-bound to report the conclusion of that case–Denver DA Beth McCann is dropping the matter, as the Denver Post’s Jesse Paul reports: Denver District Attorney Beth McCann’s office has dropped its […]
