FOX 31’s Joe St. George walks us through the latest ad from the Republican Governor’s Association targeting Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jared Polis in the now-familiar “hippie-punching” style we’ve side-eyed in this space before. Under the fact-checking microscope, this ad is revealed to have some serious issues with every single one of its claims that viewers […]
An in-depth story in the Vail Daily by freelance reporter David O. Williams could spell big trouble for GOP attorney general candidate George Brauchler: after taking fire from fellow Republicans for supporting “red flag” legislation to get guns out of the hands of dangerous persons with mental illness, Brauchler appears to be backtracking in order […]
A successful campaign is a lot like a popular Disney cartoon (but with fewer original songs): It tells a good story centered around a compelling protagonist, with a narrative that keeps even casual viewers engaged and invested in a favorable outcome for the main character. Usually there is even a moral lesson involved. You know […]

(Stay classy – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Over the weekend, the Jefferson County Republican Party deleted the post, though officials still have yet to comment. The Jefferson County Republican Party referred to Congressman Jared Polis as a “Brown Shirt” in an August 1 Facebook post. “Brown Shirt” is a nickname for a member of […]
Marianne Goodland of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports: Proponents of a ballot measure they claim will strengthen private property rights turned in a record 209,000 petition signatures Friday to the secretary of state. Initiative 108 is a constitutional proposal for the November ballot that its chief sponsor, Colorado Farm Bureau, says will allow private property […]
Since there are some brilliant folks on this site who fit the description below, I thought I’d forward this invitation. V’ger? MJ? MichaelBowman obviously (so obvious, and since we all know his real name, I presumptuously have already submitted his name 🙂 Who are the smartest people you know who are thinking about the future […]
Republican State Rep. Tim Leonard will soon give up the distinction of being the only sitting Colorado legislator in at least 40 years to have served time in jail. That’s because Leonard is dropping his re-election bid in HD-25 (Evergreen) on account of the fact that he’s a “Deadbeat Dad” who was using his job in the […]

Income inequality in the United States is a growing problem. Recent data shows that the top 1% of Americans continue to seize a disproportionate share of wealth compared to the rest of us, and at a rate that is significantly outpacing our counterparts in Western Europe. This chart from the 2018 World Inequality Report explains […]
SUNDAY UPDATE: Even Fox News picks up on the story. —– If you’ve been paying any attention to the news this weekend — anywhere in the world, apparently — you’ve probably heard about a prank at the State Capitol on Thursday involving a portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin that appeared near a space where a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner released videos yesterday of himself gushing over Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Gardner’s embrace of Kavanaugh stands in contrast to the Republican senator’s refusal to even meet with Obama’s Supreme Court selection Merrick Garland. Gardner explained at the time that he wouldn’t meet with Garland because “our […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Summer 2018: Climate Change is Here The horrific and deadly wildfires that have swept through Greece are just one set of data points causing scientists around the world to sound the alarm, that human-driven climate change is “supercharging a hot and dangerous summer,” as the Washington Post reports: In the town […]
We were forwarded a clip of video from this morning’s episode of FOX and Friends, the notoriously pro-Trump propagandist morning show famous for having a direct line to President Donald Trump–who is said to personally watch the show every morning. Today’s guest? Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado. The subject? Trump’s foreign policy. And on FOX […]
On this day in 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to receive a major party’s nomination for President; things kinda went downhill from there. It’s time to Get More Smarter.

The Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) came out this week with its first General Election advertisement for 2018, attacking Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis by saying he “wants to turn Colorado into California.” The ad is…well, it’s not very good, but how about that message? We’ve heard this “turning Colorado into California” narrative from Republicans since at […]
9NEWS reports on the less-then-enthusiastic response from Colorado farmers to emergency relief authorized by President Donald Trump to offset losses caused by new tariffs in place as Trump goes to economic war on major trading partners like China: “To a producer that’s been impacted greatly by the tariff situation it’s really a band-aid,” said Kim […]

While the New York Times was ruining the current news cycle for Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton nationally, major local news outlets finally caught up to the other line of bad press for Stapleton this week–the ill-explained delay within Stapleton’s office issuing certificates of participation to authorize millions of dollars in funding for capital […]
A story from Marianne Goodland of the Colorado Springs Gazette takes another look at the highly dysfunctional post-divorce personal life of Republican Rep. Tim Leonard–who went to jail for contempt of court in December of 2016 over a conflict with his ex-wife stemming from Leonard’s refusal to cooperate on his kids’ educational matters. The story […]
In 2015 I was shocked that Corey Gardner (R) was elected as a US Senator for Colorado. Now I’m no political guru but I feel like I pay attention to politics more than most people and it bothered me to be shocked by an election outcome. I must’ve been missing something. I thought maybe I […]
It’s time for another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” Today, we visit South Dakota and the Rapid City Journal: How did the South Dakota Teen Age Republicans end up hosting a woman at their 2015 camp who was later accused of being an unregistered foreign agent for Russia?
