Senate Republicans Warn Trump On Mexico Tariffs…But Gardner?

Senate Republicans are finally, sorta, pushing back against President Trump amid threats to impose new tariffs on Mexico. As the Washington Post reports: Republican senators warned Trump administration officials Tuesday they were prepared to block the president’s effort to impose tariffs on Mexican imports, promising what would be GOP lawmakers’ most brazen defiance of the […]

Chalk Up One For Pete Kolbenschlag

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports: Gov. Jared Polis on Monday signed a bill slapping back at so-called SLAPP suits, like one a Paonia activist says was filed against him by an energy company… Delta County District Court Judge Steven Schultz has ruled twice in favor of Paonia resident Pete Kolbenschlag in a […]

Colorado GOP Chair Voted ‘NO’ on Disaster Relief Bill

The House of Representatives has approved $19 billion in disaster relief funds for hurricane and flood-ravaged areas such as the Florida panhandle, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico. The legislation advanced by a vote of 354-58, with all ‘NO’ votes coming from Republicans (more on that in a moment). The Senate had already […]

Ending a Saga, Sex Ed Bill Signed into Law Today

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ending a legislative saga filled with lurid misinformation to try to stop a sex-ed bill from gaining traction, Colorado Gov.

Cory Gardner’s Wall Street Problem

If Senator Cory Gardner wants to win his tough re-election fight next year, there’s really no constituency he can ignore–which helps explain why he’s all over the map on so many issues. But over a decade in Congress, and especially since entering the Senate, Gardner has allied himself closely with the one sector of society […]

Gardner Hasn’t Held a Town Hall in a Year and a Half, But Is He Talking to Voters in CO Springs?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner hasn’t held a town hall meeting with constituents in about a year and a half, choosing instead to meet with private groups and telling the public about such meetings after they occur. But he may have held conference calls with constituents, possibly in Colorado Springs, last week […]

Tightening Debate Qualifications Put “Benkenlooper” On Notice

CNN reports, the winnowing’s got to start some time: The Democratic National Committee will double the qualifying thresholds and require that 2020 candidates meet both in order to participate in the third and fourth primary debates, the committee announced Wednesday.

Clan Neville Goes Low In Sullivan Recall Ad

Here’s a Facebook ad that started running last Friday from Values First Colorado, the House GOP “independent” message group operated by House Minority Leader Patrick Neville’s family political consulting group Rearden Strategic: Let’s briefly go over the problems with this ad beyond the distasteful fake mug shot–the allegation that Rep. Tom Sullivan supports “spending tax […]

How President Trump Honors Our Fallen Heroes

The email we were forwarded from Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. this morning needs a moment to sink in: It’s Memorial Day in the United States and Team Trump would like to take this time to thank every veteran who has served this great Nation, and to honor those who fell protecting it. Because […]

Bennet Fights To Make Prez Debate Stage

Politico updates on the fortunes of Colorado’s other Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Michael Bennet, who is working against the clock to register enough support to qualify for presidential debates set to kick off at the end of June: The low-key Colorado Democratic senator has a relatively centrist record that may be out of step with […]

Gardner Hides While Abortion Goes Under The Spotlight

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, another excellent story covering the local fallout on what’s becoming a flashpoint issue for the upcoming 2020 elections: Cory Gardner, a freshman U.S. senator, is facing a tough re-election fight in 2020, just as then-Sen. Udall did in 2014. And there’s another parallel: Democrats, at least for now, […]

Rally For Our Rights: Start The Revolution Without ‘Em

We’ve been accused from time to time of posting photos of protest events that don’t quite capture the size and power of a crowd turning out to rally at the Capitol. Sometimes, like with the Women’s March events whose crowd size could literally be determined from orbit, this isn’t really an issue–but for Republicans hoping […]

“Stand For Colorado” Rallies–The Power Of Dozens

UPDATE: Colorado Public Radio reports from Grand Junction’s sleeper of a “Stand for Colorado” rally: When 89-year-old Tom Foster saw only a few people mulling around, he thought he had the wrong time. “You know, at my age, I’m accused of that every once in a while,” he said with a smile. Foster was intent […]

BREAKING: Rep. Rochelle Galindo Will Resign

UPDATE: Denver Post: [P]olice would not specify the nature of the complaint against Rep.

Kyle Peltz said Sunday night — after Galindo announced her resignation. “It is […]
