Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was a featured speaker recently at the 2019 BBYO International Convention in Denver, where he delivered a brief welcome speech that featured an oddly-timed choice of words. Gardner’s generally milquetoast remarks to the convention of Jewish teenagers wouldn’t be worth a mention if not for the dunderheaded clichés he decided to […]

The Denver Post’s Anna Staver reports on the next steps for House Bill 19-1032, the somewhat-unexpectedly controversial bill clarifying regulations on sex education in public schools, which remains an optional curriculum, to ensure what’s taught is accurate and (oh wait here’s the controversy) unbiased: A 10-hour House committee hearing on the bill stretched late into […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Family Action director Debbie Chaves used a dangerous and false stereotype of LGBT people to oppose a proposed bill banning conversion therapy for minors.

“The road to ruin is always in good repair, and the travelers pay the expense of it.” –Josh Billings
We’ve been keeping track in this space of Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-Yuma) slow waffle on supporting President Trump’s “emergency declaration” so that he can hijack other funds to build his great big wall. Last week, literally hours before Trump declared his great big emergency, Gardner told Colorado Public Radio’s Ryan Warner that he opposed the […]

The Denver Post’s Anna Staver reports on the introduction of a bill today that’s sure to result in some of the most vigorous debate of the 2019 session–a debate that, if history is any guide, will struggle mightily to remain inside the bounds of reality: It’s called a “red flag” or extreme risk protection order […]
