As anyone who has driven through downtown Denver in the last two months knows, the weeks of protests against police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis have resulted in a significant amount of as-yet unrepaired property damage to public buildings and monuments. Statues with connections to atrocity and other […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “Cardboard Cory: the Documentary” tells the incredible story about the life and times of a cardboard cutout of Republican Sen. Cory Gardner and the political activists behind the cardboard. There’s a perception out there of activists as lonely, angry people who you try to slide away from at parties. This film […]
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote??? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 30, 2020 CNN reports–does President Donald Trump mean […]
As The Washington Post and others are reporting, President Trump says flat-out that he didn’t even MENTION reports about Russia offering bounties on U.S. troops in a recent call with Russian President Vladimir Putin: President Trump said in an interview broadcast Wednesday that he has not spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin about U.S. intelligence reports […]
The initial topic of the interview was Malkin’s headlining of the July 20 “Back the Blue” pro-police rally in Denver’s Civic Center Park, along with statehouse Republican Leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock. Event attendees were met by a much larger group of counter-protesters. Despite a substantial police presence, several small fights broke out. In […]

The Denver Post’s Shelly Bradbury followed up the story originally broke by Kara Mason at the Aurora Sentinel over the weekend, former Republican Congressman now Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s now-deleted outburst on social media following more protests over the killing of Elijah McClain calling a faction of the protesters who smashed windows at the Aurora […]

Democrat Dave Young defeated Republican Brian Watson in 2018 in the race for State Treasurer. What looked initially like a close race ended up with Young defeating Watson by a seven-point margin, so perhaps Colorado was never that close to ending up with Watson in charge of the state’s finances. But we came close enough to […]
Colorado Public Radio reported Friday on an agreement brokered by Gov. Jared Polis to keep another round of confrontational oil and gas ballot measures off the 2020 ballot, in order to give one of the biggest achievements of Polis’ term in office so far, Senate Bill 19-181 reforming oil and gas permitting in the state […]
Kara Mason of the Aurora Sentinel relays a shocking outburst from former GOP Congressman now Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman this morning, following a day and night of continuing protest yesterday over the police killing of Elijah McClain. We’ve added a paragraph break because, well, it’s an angry rant without any paragraph breaks: This morning I […]
I never once voted for John Hickenlooper. In fact, I spent a considerable amount of my life opposing the former governor. 2020 has shown us that not only can circumstances change rapidly, so can our perspective. The twenty-first century was first dominated with overseas wars for oil and morphed into a public health crisis the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Monday is the three-year anniversary of perhaps the most famous thumb-down moment in American history. That would be the day that the downward-pointing thumb of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain saved Obamacare from dying at the hands of his fellow Republicans. One of those Republicans who was watching McCain’s thumb […]
This morning, freak-right GOP Rep. Dave Williams of Colorado Springs released a letter he sent to President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr, “formally” requesting the deployment of federal riot control police to Denver–where Mayor Michael Hancock this week joined with over a dozen mayors of major U.S. cities in demanding federal forces stand […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, the march to passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, which passed the U.S. Senate with wide bipartisan support and Sen. Cory Gardner’s earnest election-year blessing, went a little sideways yesterday after all of Colorado’s Republican members of Congress voted against the bill: Republican Reps. Ken Buck, Doug […]

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has been an unapologetic supporter of Donald Trump since the Big Orange Guy was elected President in 2016. Trump famously confirmed Gardner’s loyalty at a Colorado Springs rally in February when he told the crowd that Gardner “has been with us 100%” before adding, “There was no waver with Cory and […]

It’s a story that’s been out of the headlines for some time now with the crush of other news, but we wanted to briefly touch on a lawsuit filed by big oil and gas producing rural counties led by the oh-so politically high profile Republican threesome on the Garfield County Board of Commissioners, Mike Samson, […]
As you’ve probably heard by now, after the passage by the City of Greenwood Village of Resolution 40-20, an ordinance to shield Greenwood Village Police officers from civil liability for misconduct in protest of a new police accountability law in Colorado, nationally prominent artists with ties to Colorado have called on the city to overturn […]

As we we discussed last week and Colorado Public Radio reported, Republican House Minority Leader Patrick Neville threatened a lawsuit on Thursday in response to the statewide face mask executive order issued by Gov. Jared Polis, which came after weeks of pleading by public health authorities to take this additional step as COVID-19 cases grow […]
If you believe in that kind of stuff, now’s the time to bestow some metaphysical goodwill on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday she is undergoing chemotherapy to treat a recurrence of cancer. The treatment is yielding “positive results,” the 87-year-old liberal justice said in a statement, adding […]
Yesterday, as readers know, Gov. Jared Polis announced a statewide order requiring everyone to wear face masks in public–an order that came after a controversially lengthy delay, in which Gov. Polis hesitated to mandate masks like many other states including politically conservative strongholds like Texas and Alabama have already done in response to renewed growth […]
According to my calculations @kanyewest’s presidential aspirations lasted one full Scaramucci — Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) July 15, 2020 The word today from FOX News is that Kanye West, the rapper turned Donald Trump supporter who announced less than two weeks ago that he would himself run for President in 2020, has changed his mind just […]
