It is Really Hot Outside, and It’s Only Getting Hotter

If you’re still arguing about the validity of Climate Change, you must not get outside all that often. As Kirk Mitchell writes for the Denver Post, this is a good time to be an air conditioning salesman: The Mile High City tied an all-time heat record in June and hovered around 100 degrees, topping out at 98, […]

An Early Look at the Democratic Field for President in 2020

The 2018 election hasn’t even really started to reach a boiling point yet, but with President Trump making an historic ass of himself (and America), it’s never too early to look ahead to the next Presidential election. Writing for CNN, Chris Cillizza and Harry Enten toss out their top 10 early favorites for the Democratic Presidential nomination in […]

Rep. Tim Leonard Compares Women’s Rights Marchers to Nazis

As Marianne Goodland reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, State Rep. Tim Leonard (R-Evergreen) is again making an ass of himself: Republican state Rep.

Wildfire relief and more ways to fight back this week (July 9)

This week, thousands of our fellow Coloradans are dealing with the effects of massive wildfires burning across the state.

Walker Stapleton Just Makes Stuff Up, Again

WEDNESDAY UPDATE #2: Charles Ashby, along with Ernest Luning among the dwindling number of Colorado politics reporters with enough time served on this beat to recognize the problem, reports for the Grand Junction Sentinel: Historically, governor candidates have made such announcements within a week of the primary, sometimes even before.

Walker Stapleton Shakes The Etch-a-Sketch (Badly)

During the Republican gubernatorial primary that concluded this past week, nominee Walker Stapleton worked really hard to establish himself as an ally of President Donald Trump–including his bogus claim to have been the “only state treasurer” to support Trump’s tax cut bill, which came as news for a whole slew of fellow Republican state treasurers.

Crow, a former […]

Donald Who? Stapleton Already Backpedaling on Trump

Republican gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton spent most of the Republican Primary race telling anyone who would listen about how much he embraces President Trump.

Thanks For Nothing, Scott Tipton (Dead Letter Office Edition)
