Colorado Public Radio’s Andrew Kenney reports on the continuing struggle in the Colorado Senate to find one solitary Republican lawmaker willing to complete a supermajority in favor of Senate Concurrent Resolution 001, a.k.a. the Child Sexual Abuse Accountability Amendment, which would refer to the voters a ballot question that if approved would open a “look […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This story originally appeared on the Colorado Times Recorder. Colorado anti-abortion activists spoke out against Colorado’s abortion policy and Proposition 89, the ballot initiative that would enshrine abortion access in Colorado’s Constitution, during the inaugural March for Life event in Denver on Friday. While Colorado anti-abortion groups have held annual marches […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME LAUNDRY, or something; Democratic members of Colorado’s congressional delegation fight back against some of the silliest stuff we’ve ever heard of — six or seven months before the most important election of our lives (again) We have a final update from […]
The current session of Congress is well on its way to going down in history as perhaps the single most ineffective two years in American history. Think about that for a moment: This is the 118th session of Congress. None of the previous 117 sessions were as useless as this current version overseen by a […]
The Tennessee legislature has already passed it. Lawmakers in Minnesota are pushing it now. At least five other states are kicking the tires on this policy proposal. The latest Republican legislative craze has to do with banning so-called “chemtrails,” the water vapor trails that emerge from behind airplanes that conspiracy theorists have long believed are […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, CO-04 congressional candidate Rep. Richard Holtorf fired off a statement yesterday calling for the resignation of Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, after the party announced its surprise endorsement of Rep. Lauren Boebert in the CO-04 race via Twitter while castigating […]
As part of their long-running efforts to prove that they are absolutely not serious people interested in useful discussions about anything, House Republicans will today waste a few hours of everyone’s time in a pointless quest to impeach Secretary of State Jena Griswold. What for? Let’s dig in… When and Where Will this Circus […]
Huh. We gotta admit we didn’t see this one coming. As The Colorado Sun reports in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter, 2022 Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor Danny Moore is running for a state legislative seat: Republican Danny Moore, a Navy veteran and entrepreneur who ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 2022 with gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, is […]

Marianne Goodland at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports on debate yesterday in the Colorado Senate over legislation that would–among a few other defined “sensitive spaces”–further prohibit firearms inside the Colorado State Capitol building. Presently, security at the Capitol operates under an unusual status quo that prohibits the public from carrying firearms in the […]
As we have long known, former President Donald Trump is a YUGE fan of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whether or not Putin shares a fondness for Trump is unclear, but the Russian dictator certainly prefers to deal with the obsequious orange guy when it comes to relations with the United States. Putin knows that Trump […]
UPDATE: House Republicans appear to have already deleted the post from ‘X’ that we included below… —– The Colorado legislature is only required by the State Constitution to do one thing in every legislative session: Pass a budget for the state fiscal year that begins on July 1. There is no avoiding this duty for […]
Today in an interview with conservative AM radio host Ross Kaminsky, CO-04 special election Republican nominee Greg Lopez dropped the first bit of news since unexpectedly securing the nomination to serve the remaining months of Rep. Ken Buck’s term last Thursday: KAMINSKY: I’m just about out of time, Greg. So one one kind of logistical […]
Jason Salzman at the Colorado Times Recorder has the first coverage from the surprising outcome Saturday at the Republican assembly for the ultra-competitive CO-08 congressional seat, in which Americans For Prosperity-endorsed state Rep. Gabe-ish Evans failed to eliminate his primary opponent former Rep. Janak Joshi, setting up a race to the right ahead of the […]
Last night’s vote by 98 Republicans in the remote Eastern Colorado town of Hugo selecting a candidate in the June 25th special election for the Fourth Congressional District, the winner of which will serve out the remaining months of retired Rep. Ken Buck’s term, resulted in the selection of a placeholder who is not on […]

(Gabe-ish Evans casts his lot — Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Gabe Evans has been running for Colorado’s newest congressional seat since September, but despite being the most prominent Republican in the race, he’s mostly avoided bringing up the name of his party’s standard bearer, former President Donald Trump. That changed Saturday when Adams […]
We finally have an idea of what the ballot will look like for voters in Colorado’s fourth congressional district who will be selecting a candidate in both a Special Election and a Republican Primary Election. Now former Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) finished his last day on Capitol Hill on Friday after his surprise announcement earlier […]
Late last week, the mailer you see below from the notorious “no compromise” gun rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners landed in mailboxes across Senate District 12, the Colorado Springs-area seat being vacated by GOP CO-05 congressional candidate Sen. Bob Gardner. The mail piece in RMGO’s usual in-your-face style doesn’t mince words or images, with […]
As CNN reports this morning, existential chaos is brewing in the narrowly GOP-controlled U.S. House for a third time in less than a year: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership, according to sources familiar with the matter, amid anger about the government funding bill. The House […]
As CBS4 Denver’s sometimes-unreliable political narrator Shaun Boyd nonetheless gets right his time, Democrats in the Colorado General Assembly appear to have flipped the script on Republicans, who have been cranking up the outrage machine for weeks over the Democratic majority supposedly “protecting” child sex predators–resulting in death threats against lawmakers that Republicans have not […]
Yesterday was the annual Latino/a Advocacy Day at the Colorado State Capitol, an annual event that like so many other routine functions at the Capitol didn’t result in much controversy in the “before times”–that sometimes-mythologized halcyon period before either the global pandemic or Donald Trump where the discourse under the Dome was somewhat less consistently […]
The Colorado legislature is discussing several gun violence prevention (GVP) bills this session after passing a handful of important changes in 2023. We could point you toward polling data showing how the issue of gun violence has changed in Colorado since Colorado’s “no compromise” gun rights group, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO), helped lead a […]
