There are very real consequences of Donald Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the 2016 election. As the Washington Post reports, a good number of Republicans actually believe the President on this nonsense: Critics of President Trump have repeatedly warned of his potential to undermine American democracy. Among the concerns are his repeated assertions that he would have won the popular […]
“Good satire comes from anger.” –Carl Hiaasen
The Denver Post has a story up today that is worth reading, despite a headline that some of our more aggressively liberal Democrats might find a bit incendiary–“At town hall that focused on health care, [Sen.] Michael Bennet says single-payer system isn’t best option.” In a dialogue this week largely focused on defeating efforts to repeal […]

“The mark of a good action is that it appears inevitable in retrospect.” –Robert Louis Stevenson
(We’re not going to call this a “town hall” meeting — promoted by Colorado Pols) A much anticipated “town hall” meeting with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and other politicians, scheduled to take place in Durango tomorrow, may include just five minutes for questions from constituents, according to one of the event moderators, La Plata County […]
State Treasurer Walker Stapleton is a sure bet to run for Governor in 2018, but he won’t make it official anytime soon. As Mark Matthews writes for the Denver Post, Stapleton is holding off on a formal announcement while he drives a bus through a loophole in our campaign finance laws: The longer Stapleton waits before formally announcing his bid for […]

A press advisory a short while ago announced a bonafide public town hall meeting tomorrow afternoon with the elusive Sen. Cory Gardner–in the city of Durango in the far southwest corner of the state, about six hours’ drive time from Denver. Gardner will appear with Gov. John Hickenlooper, Sen. Michael Bennet, and Rep. Scott Tipton, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Why won’t Cory Gardner do in -person, live town halls? That’s easy – if he did, he would have baffled crowds of people yelling, “What?” “Who?” “When?” and turning to each other, muttering, “What – what did he just say? It sounded great, but what does it mean?” He couldn’t handle […]

Donna Lynne just took a big step toward running for governor, telling The Denver Post that she would file the necessary paperwork Tuesday to campaign and raise money even though she still hasn’t committed 100 percent toward pursuing […]
Representative Buck is a good communicator. His conversational skills were on display in his Sterling Town Hall on July 29, 2017. He does not always tell the truth, and his point of view is limited to what one would expect from one of the ten most conservative members of the House of Representatives, and proud […]
You beat them again. Late last week, the far right’s latest attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed. Three Republican Senators—Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, and Sen. John McCain of Arizona—listened to their constituents, stood up to Donald Trump’s threats, and stopped their colleagues from passing a bill that […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dear Senator Gardner: Now that the “skinny repeal bill” lost on the Senate floor last night, what is your position on health care policy? Before every vote on every repeal bill you have plead ignorance of what is or may be in the bill and therefore you didn’t know if you […]
UPDATE: Here’s a more in-depth summary of today’s press conference via CNN: As of Thursday afternoon, the text of the Republican bill that would scrap Obamacare’s individual and employer mandates remained unseen by senators or the public, but it was discussed during a closed-door lunch and an outline of it has been circulating among lawmakers […]
As Ernest Luning writes for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, two Colorado Congressmen are at the top of EMILY’s “list” in 2018: EMILY’s List, a national group that recruits and helps fund Democratic women candidates, put two Colorado Republicans “on notice” Thursday, naming U.S. Reps. Mike Coffman and Scott Tipton to its list […]
Politico’s Dan Diamond reports on the latest Congressional Budget Office estimate of Republican legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act–this being an estimate of the version known as a “skinny repeal,” which would eliminate specific components of the ACA like the individual and employer mandates while leaving other parts of the law intact.
