AP reports via CBS4 Denver: Top Colorado Democrats on Tuesday accused the Trump administration of rushing to open public lands to oil and gas drilling without giving the public nearly enough time to comment. In letters to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Sen. Michael Bennet and Gov. John Hickenlooper also asked the government not […]

A story we’ve addressed a few times in this space saw a big update late last week, as outgoing Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman announced the state will indeed sue Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin opioid painkillers linked to a dramatic rise in overdoses and thousands of preventable deaths in the last two decades. […]
The race for Attorney General is one of the more important jobs on the ballot in November, but it has generally been overlooked thanks to the Governor’s race and the meltdown in the White House. We’re here to rectify that…at least a little bit. On Saturday the candidates for AG battled it out in a […]
During last week’s confirmation hearings for Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Americans witnessed another worst-case scenario. The truth about Brett Kavanaugh–that he will solidify a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court, endanger women’s rights, LGBT rights, and the rights of everyone in America–can no longer be denied. Kavanaugh won’t say how he would […]
(Remember, you’re not the only audience – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Political observers were left scratching their heads last week over why Walker Stapleton, who’s Colorado’s Republican candidate for governor, would appear at a fundraising event with former Congressman Tom Tancredo, whose views on undocumented immigrants (kick them out), Mecca (bomb it), abortion (ban it) […]
Denver7’s Blair Miller took a deep dive Friday into one of many controversies being argued out in the Colorado governor’s race. For years since Republican nominee Walker Stapleton was elected Treasurer, it has been persistently rumored that Stapleton’s personal attendance at his office inside the Capitol is very poor. This was long known anecdotally, but […]
If you’ve been alive this week, you are surely aware that Donald Trump’s Presidency is imploding from within while the Big Orange Guy storms around the White House looking for traitors to his one-man cause. Trump’s approval ratings were in the toilet well before this dumpster fire of a week, and as Paul Waldman writes for the Washington Post, that […]
David O. Williams writes for the Vail Daily: Gov. John Hickenlooper this week endorsed the campaign of fellow Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush, as Mitsch Bush, a former state representative and Routt County commissioner, tries to unseat four-term Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, of Cortez, in the Tuesday, Nov. 6, general election. “I’m proud to endorse […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: They fixed it. —– Are you a Jefferson County voter planning to cast your ballot before Election Day on November 6, 2018? Then you might want to let Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Faye Griffin in on a little secret: It’s not 2019. Readers of this site and one of our local spinoffs, […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After months of silence, Colorado Treasurer and Republican candidate for governor Walker Stapleton is finally trying to address the news coverage of his family’s racist Klan legacy. This week Stapleton appeared on KNUS radio’s afternoon talk show, hosted by his friend Stephan Tubbs. The casual interview was a perfect venue to deliver […]
We talk a lot about Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton in this space. In fact, Stapleton was the subject of our first blog post today after his flabbergastingly-disastrous interview with CBS4 last night. It makes perfect sense that we would regularly discuss the GOP nominee for the top job in Colorado — after all, this […]
(Sen. Cory Gardner and President Trump are best buds these days — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Senator Cory Gardner blasted out an urgent fundraising appeal over the weekend, stating: Gardner: Your contribution is vital to the future of President Trump’s America First agenda. With your support, we will strengthen our Senate Majority. Will you […]
As NBC News reports, President Trump got the message — after much chastising from other Republicans — that he should do more to acknowledge the late Senator John McCain (R-Arizona): Following blistering criticism from lawmakers in both parties and veterans groups, President Donald Trump announced Monday he had signed a formal proclamation that would give Sen. […]
Your deliberately oversimplified glance at what happened in Colorado this week. Colorado leaders hope new space port will give aerospace industry one giant leap To end gerrymandering, bipartisan group asks voters to approve reforms A Bear Had a Scary Good Time After Wandering into the Shining Hotel in Colorado How a House speaker’s aide helped […]
We’ve been talking for a couple of days now about some powerful dissent from 2018 GOP gubernatorial runner-up Victor Mitchell, who called for President Donald Trump to either resign or be impeached following the conviction of former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen’s plea deal directly implicating the President in federal crimes. The next day, […]
We wrote on Tuesday about renewed debate in the wake of an horrific triple murder in Frederick, allegedly committed by an Anadarko Petroleum employee who disposed on the bodies on company property including in a crude oil tank, over laws in Colorado pertaining to the unlawful termination of a pregnancy. Colorado has had such a […]

Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) changes his position on immigration reform about as often as most people change their underwear. Back in June, amid the fervor surrounding the Trump administration’s decision to forcibly remove immigrant children from their parents, Coffman issued this statement in opposition to Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy. The final words of Coffman’s statement were […]
That’s Victor Mitchell, the Republican candidate for governor of Colorado who placed second with over 30% of the vote in that party’s four-way primary last June, calling on fellow Republicans today to ask for President Donald Trump’s resignation–and failing that, to move to impeach. Transcript: I’m an American, I’m a Coloradan before I’m a Republican. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The BBC reports that more than 41,000 people in Europe have been infected with measles in the first six months of 2018. There have been 37 deaths caused by this outbreak. Of the 57 states, districts, territories, and commonwealths in the most recent CDC report on kindergartners who had received the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Reproductive rights activists are saying they were the target of a Nazi slur last month at a campaign event for Colorado’s Republican candidate for governor. The activists were protesting at the July 13 Walker Stapleton campaign event to raise awareness about threats to abortion rights following the recent announcement that President Trump would appoint Brett […]
A press release from Colorado Democrats today highlights some tellingly bad answers from Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton on health care in a new Colorado Springs Gazette story, helpfully pulling them out from behind Phil Anschutz’s paywall for public consumption: “Stapleton has been a yes-man for Donald Trump’s crusade to rob Coloradans of their health care, […]
Vox reports on the angry response unfolding to the decision by President Donald Trump to strip former CIA Director John Brennan of his security clearance, anger that shows no signs of slowing: The man who led the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 has a message for President Donald Trump: Revoke my security […]
