Over the weekend, we promoted to the homepage a reader diary on a protest event we were actually unaware of before it occurred on New Year’s Eve: a trip by a group of activists with disabilities from Atlantis ADAPT, the storied grassroots team who has been fighting since the 1980s in Denver for better accommodations […]

So, this actually happened today: Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news – it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2018 As The Hill notes, there has not been a fatal commercial […]
As the New York Times reports today, the eighth-longest serving Senator in United States history is on his way out the door: Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the longest-serving Senate Republican, plans to announce on Tuesday he will retire at the end of the year, rebuffing the pleas of President Trump to seek an eighth […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) https://www.facebook.com/CarrieAnnLucasPersonal/videos/10213926044001447/ Video from New Years Eve visit to Senator Gardner’s home in Yuma On New Year’s Eve 2017, Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado had some unexpected visitors outside his home in Yuma, Colorado.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The “Hot mess” from California just got owned by Joy Reid. The 12/23/17 AMJoy Show featured Jen Kerns attempting to distract from the Russian collusion scandal by rehashing the Uranium One “scandal”. This was round two – after Jen Kerns U1 talking points were dissected by Reid on October 30. In […]
As reporter Marianne Goodland writes for the former Colorado Statesman: The Independence Institute has named Colorado Senate President Pro tem Jerry Sonnenberg, a Sterling Republican, as its inaugural winner of “Californian of the Year.” The somewhat tongue-in-cheek award was given to Sonnenberg in recognition of his efforts “to turn Colorado into East California,” according to […]
Earlier this week Congressional Republicans rammed through a tax plan that ranks as the most unpopular piece of legislation to pass through Capitol Hill in literally decades. Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) opposed the measure — as did all Senate Democrats — and has not been shy about voicing his concerns. Colorado’s other Senator, Republican Cory Gardner, voted YES […]
If you thought the defense of alleged serial sexual harasser Rep. Steve Lebsock of Adams County couldn’t get any more bizarre after his recent press campaign asserting that a self-administered polygraph examination “proved his innocence,” all we can tell you is you must have forgotten about ex-Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt. In a former Colorado […]
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman is seeking the Republican nomination for Governor in 2018, and as we’ve discussed before in this space, she has thus far proven to be a remarkably-terrible candidate. After more than a year of hinting at the possibility of a run for Governor, Coffman finally announced her campaign the day after the […]
(The award is an invisible trophy — promoted by Colorado Pols) Maybe we can’t stop Trump from promoting fake news, but we can at least try to stop our own leaders from spreading it. That’s the BigMedia Blog’s goal in bestowing Colorado’s first annual Fake News Awards to lawmakers and public figures. Crusader for a […]
One of the loudest complaints over the GOP tax bill from opponents didn’t directly concern the provisions in the bill itself, but what the resulting massive losses in revenue from the tax cuts would mean down the road for essential programs like Social Security and Medicare–intentionally left untouched by Republicans this year as universally-acknowledged political […]
The Washington Post’s Samantha Schmidt via the Denver Post on the recent escalation of rhetoric as investigations targeting the Trump administration get closer to the top, escalation that’s starting to feature terminology unfamiliar to most Americans–very disturbing terminology–to describe the course of events: Conservative commentators on Fox have compared the FBI to the KGB, the […]

A fundraising email sent this week from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Donna Lynne’s campaign manager Ethan Susseles extracted some chuckles from political insiders, but you wouldn’t know why at first glance from the content: I couldn’t wait to get you this really important update on the state of our campaign: The latest PPP poll on the […]
As the Boulder Daily Camera reports, special prosecutor Stan Garnett of Boulder County has decided not to press criminal charges against Rep. Lori Saine, who was caught last week inside a Denver International Airport security checkpoint with a loaded 9mm pistol: The Boulder District Attorney’s Office has decided not to charge Colorado Rep.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t give some mention to Rep. Mike Coffman’s letter the day before yesterday to Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai, requesting a delay in the commission’s vote on new rules that could lead to the end of “net neutrality”–the principle of internet communications that all traffic should be routed equally […]
UPDATE: USA TODAY’s editorial board shows ’em how it’s done: This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt. Donald […]
UPDATE: Watch a CNN panel laugh raucously at Sen. Cory Gardner: —– Denver7’s Blair Miller reports on the response by National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) chairman Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, to last night’s come-from-behind victory by Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Doug Jones of Alabama–a Democratic victory that puts Gardner in a difficult position as […]
UPDATE 9:00PM: Doug Jones wins! —– UPDATE 7:20PM: Roy Moore leads 53-48% with 22% of precincts reporting. ——— Today is Election Day in Alabama, where a special election to fill the Senate seat of now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions has become one of the most-watched races in recent memory. Thanks to a number of factors, from the […]
(Harsh – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Tamra Axworthy formally ended her campaign to fill a vacant seat in the Colorado House of Representatives, stating in an email to media today that she can’t “understand why the [Republican] party would move ahead with seating a candidate who was selected under a cloud of suspicion and who […]

Since the arrest earlier this week of GOP Rep. Lori Saine on allegations she brought a loaded 9mm handgun inside a security checkpoint at Denver International Airport, an unresolved detail, potentially irrelevant but still worth nailing down–where exactly was Rep. Saine traveling to with the gun she is alleged to have “knowingly” transported? Yesterday evening […]
KDVR FOX 31 reports that Rep. Lori Saine of Weld County was released late yesterday from Denver County jail on a personal recognizance bond, while the Denver DA’s office determines what charges to file after Saine walked into a security checkpoint at Denver International Airport carrying a loaded 9mm pistol: Saine “knowingly” brought the weapon […]
