CNN Chris Cillizza reports and it’s not a good look for President Donald Trump’s controversial all-things-finance czar Mick Mulvaney, whose fox-in-henhouse management of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is once again in the spotlight after this amazing moment of on-camera truthfulness Tuesday: Donald Trump famously pledged to “drain the swamp” of Washington if elected president, getting […]
The Denver Post’s Mark Matthews offers a revealing look at the backstory behind what appears to be a serious effort to do away with Colorado’s least inspiring member of Congress–Rep. Doug Lamborn, who has plodded along as conservative Colorado Springs’ undistinguished representative for over a decade mostly by dividing his opposition into manageable factions: If […]
Senate President Kevin Grantham and Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert have steadfastly refused to discipline Sen. Randy “Boob Grabber” Baumgardner over multiple claims of sexual harassment that occurred over a period of several years. Grantham and Holbert’s inexplicable protection of Baumgardner is certainly not a new story, but this now-familiar tale may be turning the corner into a […]

Senate President Kevin Grantham is never going to be included in anybody’s definition of “courage,” but he’s running out of excuses in his steadfast refusal to do anything about even more claims of sexual harassment against Sen. Randy “Boob Grabber” Baumgardner. As Bente Birkeland reports for KUNC, there are a lot more fingers pointing at Baumgardner…as well as Grantham and Senate […]
Bruce Finley of the Denver Post reports on some positively-terrifying news about an oil refinery in North Denver: Suncor Energy’s oil refinery is spewing 8.5 tons a year of invisible hydrogen cyanide gas over low-income north Denver neighborhoods, state records show. Community groups in Globeville, Swansea and Elyria this week petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to […]
Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is getting beaten up on social media today because of his penchant for answering one question with two answers…and probably for good reason. Taking multiple sides of a single issue is not a new trick for Hick, but as John Frank of the Denver Post points out, the Governor’s wordplay is getting a little […]
Corey Hutchins of the Colorado Independent reported yesterday on the latest news from the Colorado Secretary of State’s (SOS) office regarding the validity of petitions for access to the June Primary ballot. The key points in the story are buried a bit by a broader headline and lede about the April 27th deadline for the SOS to […]
There was an interesting vote in the State House today that broke down along party lines. The outcome of that vote speaks loudly as to why a culture of sexual harassment at the State Capitol remains largely unchecked. House Bill 18-1391 passed out of the lower chamber on Wednesday despite opposition from the entire Republican […]

UPDATE: Blair Miller of Denver7 catches up with Yuma County Sheriff Chad Day and asks for some clarifications that never come: In an interview Monday, Day didn’t deny using the LEEF grants or having a volunteer program like the “sheriff’s posse.” But on multiple occasions, he declined to say who worked as volunteers, though he denied having […]

A remarkable act of desperate rebellion is unfolding at the state’s newspaper of record, as the Huffington Post reports: In a move described as both extraordinary and brave, the editorial board of the Denver Post publicly skewered its hedge-fund owner in a searing article published Friday.

The Colorado Senate GOP is celebrating passage of this year’s budget in an almost schizophrenic way: …but it’s taken quite some time to get to this point. Until 10:42 PM last night, we were debating over 80 amendments to the “Long Bill,” including over $600 million in new spending proposed by the Democrats. — Colorado […]
