(How do you ‘figuratively’ disembowel someone, anyway? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A prominent Garfield County Republican told me that he was being “figurative” when he wrote on Facebook this week that “someone should disembowel” Mike Littwin, a columnist for the Colorado Independent, a progressive news outlet. “You Mike Littwin, are such a nefarious, full […]
POLS UPDATE #2: Colorado Democratic Party chair Morgan Carroll: “Today, Republican Senator Cory Gardner decided that tax breaks for millionaires are more important than health care for millions and more important than the survival of Colorado’s rural hospitals. “Just 24 percent of Coloradans approve of the Republican health care repeal, and only 27 percent of […]
As Mark Matthews reports for the Denver Post, James Bond villain Kent Thiry won’t seek the Republican nomination for Governor in 2018: Flamboyant DaVita Inc. CEO Kent Thiry announced on Monday that he would not join Colorado’s crowded race for governor — ending months of speculation about his political ambitions. Instead, Thiry said in a statement that he would […]
Bad ideas die hard. After failing repeatedly to pass legislation to repeal the increasingly popular Affordable Care Act, Republicans in Washington are trying once again this week. This time, they’re trying to repeal health care reform without a replacement—something Sen. Cory Gardner recently said he wouldn’t support, despite the fact that he has voted for […]
The weekend’s main political event in Denver after a big week for local Republicans was the Western Conservative Summit, which played host to a large number of conservative politicos, interest groups, and individual activists–and featured a memorable disruption of Sen. Cory Gardner’s speech by disability-rights activists. But what people are talking about most today is […]

Trumpcare is mostly dead, but Senate Republicans seem intent on trying to prove that they can always come up with another healthcare proposal that is worse than the last. Today there is a new score out from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) on a Senate Republican proposal to repeal — but not replace — Obamacare. […]
The numbers are in for the first big fundraising quarter of the 2018 election cycle, and like any important fundraising period, the results have provided both answers and questions for many campaigns. As we’ve said many times in this space, fundraising numbers are often a good barometer of the relative strength or weakness of a […]
If you missed the breaking news late last evening, Trumpcare is dead. The Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) is kaput. Senate Republicans have failed, again, to even get a healthcare bill to the floor. Even conservative news outlets like RedState are giving eulogies for Trumpcare. As the New York Times examines: Two more Republican senators declared on […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky’s announcement that he’s dumped his bill to replace Obamacare and, instead, will push legislation to repeal the health care law without replacing it for up to two years, a comment by U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) sounds a ton more significant today […]
(We’d guess that Gardner is in no hurry to cast a vote on Trumpcare — promoted by Colorado Pols) Republicans sabotaged Obamacare, in part, by stripping the law of funds to incentivize insurance companies to cover enrollees who were expensive to insure. One of the lead saboteurs was U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO). Back in […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) office says it erred in telling Steamboat Springs Republicans that a planned lunch meeting last Friday with Gardner was canceled due the expected presence of protesters, when, in fact, the actual reason for the cancellation, according to Gardner’s office, was to “accommodate” a meeting with Democratic […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) While our government condemns the brutality in Syria our Republican leaders in Washington D.C. are preparing to inflict a different type of barbarism on Americans. Make no mistake, the “Better Care Reconciliation Act,” a tax cut for the wealthy disguised as a healthcare bill, IS barbaric. It will send our country […]
As KDVR FOX 31 reports, El Paso County’s infamous former “Shirtless Sheriff” Terry Maketa walked out of court yesterday with not guilty verdicts on 3 of the 7 counts against him and a deadlocked jury on the other four–a surprising outcome to a case that has riveted El Paso County for several years: A jury […]

A good update this weekend from the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews as the U.S. Senate gets back to work on repealing the Affordable Care Act–which seems less likely to succeed now than ever after a July 4th recess packed with bad news and public protest. But don’t tell that to Republicans following Sen. Cory Gardner, […]
As Denver7’s Blair Miller reports, anger at Republican Secretary of State Wayne Williams over his praise for a dubious “voter fraud” commission President Donald Trump has established to investigate his equally dubious claims of “millions” of fraudulent votes cast in last year’s elections has teamed up with anger’s friend misinformation–to produce an outcome in a […]
If you’re a progressive, you can criticize the ultra-conservative Centennial Institute for a lot of things, like being homophobic, Islamophobic, and more, but being scared of a open debate is one thing the organization is not. Centennial Institute founder, John Andrews, began the tradition of inviting questions and discussion, and the current director, Jeff Hunt, […]
Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner has been going out of his way to avoid talking about the Senate healthcare bill, even though he was part of the original “Group of 13” Senators charged with drafting the legislation. Gardner doesn’t meet with constituents and won’t provide substantive answers to the media about his position on the […]
The Unicorn rides again! Ernest Luning has the scoop for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, the Republican nominee for Colorado’s U.S. Senate seat last year, notified GOP insiders on Friday that he plans to run for the 5th Congressional District seat held by six-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Doug […]
Last year, I invited my students to go on vacation together. Aside from boosting their knowledge and skill, I did this fun activity to make them happy and free from stress. At that moment, I brought them to visit nation museum, bird park, and sea world in another city. I was very happy when seeing […]
