CNN reporting on a story that will make, amongst others, Colorado stoners happy: President Donald Trump said Wednesday he regretted choosing Jeff Sessions as attorney general, a continuation of the President’s frustrations over Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Quoting Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-South Carolina, who noted on CBS earlier Wednesday that […]
As the Fort Collins Coloradoan’s Nick Coltrain reports, Rep. Jared Polis appears to have gainfully poked the bear: A bill introduced by Fort Collins’ Congressman Jared Polis apparently earned the ire of President Donald Trump on Memorial Day. Trump tweeted that a bill to repeal his administration’s signature Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would be “too […]
Denver7 reports, President Donald Trump’s latest slam on National Football League players–which occurred even after the NFL announced a new highly controversial policy regarding the national anthem at games intended to mollify Trump–is too much for Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall: The NFL decided that players and league personnel on the sideline must stand for […]
UPDATE: As the Associated Press reports, Sen. Cory Gardner apparently has some odd details on the cancellation of the summit with North Korea: Donald Trump’s letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was dictated by the president to his national security adviser, John Bolton. That’s according to Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, who met with Bolton at the […]
Ed Sealover at the Denver Business Journal released an overall fawning profile of GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Walker Stapleton earlier today. Given Stapleton’s solidifying reputation for making stuff up on the campaign trail, any such profile is likely to contain an item or two in need of correction, whether or not the reporter catches it–and the […]

As the Durango Herald reports, an attempt mounted by fringe-right usual suspects in La Plata County to recall county commissioner Gwen Lachelt over wild allegations that boiled down to mundane partisan disagreements has, after a process that seemingly gave recall organizers every chance in the world to collect enough signatures, failed at long last to […]
Ernest Luning at the former Colorado Statesman reports: U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn holds a 10-point lead over Darryl Glenn in the crowded 5th Congressional District’s Republican primary race just two weeks before mail ballots go out, according to a new survey released Wednesday by GOP polling firm Magellan Strategies.

On Saturday, May 19, candidates for Governor met at the Garden Pavilion at Penrose House in Colorado Springs for a debate sponsored by the Colorado Springs Gazette, the […]
Agriculture is one of the largest global industries yet to be disrupted. Less than a decade ago who would have recognized the names Moderna? General Assembly? Alibaba? Netflix? Grubhub? Square or Venmo? AirBnB? We’re a conservative bunch, prone to the belief that we’re ‘different’; that somehow our way of life is immune to the global […]
Heads are spinning this morning over an interview of Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton on the Fox News Channel in response to yesterday’s tragic school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas–an interview in which Stapleton showed himself to be painfully unprepared to discuss one of the nation’s most critical issues: .@WalkerStapleton: “There should be.. an armed […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Bell Policy Center is calling on Colorado’s Republican and Democratic candidates for governor to address the outdated threshold for salaried workers to qualify for overtime pay. Currently, only employees who earn less than $23,660 annually qualify for overtime. That’s a salary level that’s been in place since 1975 and includes […]

UPDATE #2: Kara Mason updating, Levi Tillemann chokes: Tillemann, a tech entrepreneur who worked with the Obama administration, said Friday he would either drop out of the race or call on fellow Democrat Jason Crow, an Army Ranger veteran and lawyer who has backing from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, to drop out of the […]
The 2018 session of the Colorado legislature is finally over. With your help, the progressive coalition of civic engagement groups, lawmakers, and concerned residents of Colorado just like you fought back against the far-right fringe, stopped terrible laws like abortion bans and drastic weakening of our state’s common-sense gun laws, and even made some progress […]
A Tweet from Dan Haley, CEO of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association from that organization’s end-of-session debrief, provoked spit takes from, well, everyone who wasn’t in that energy industry-friendly room: Don’t miss out. Watch it live. Just missed impassioned words by @Rosenthal5280 about what happens when Ds vote their conscience — even once — on […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Advancing Colorado’s May 4 Facebook post, which referenced a comment former First Lady Michelle Obama made in a graduation speech, generated numerous comments, many of which were blatantly racist, sexist or transphobic. The post noted that Obama acknowledged a nickname actor Nick Cannon gave her, calling her his “Forever First Lady.” Advancing […]
