A not-unexpected but notable development in the Colorado Democratic gubernatorial primary, leading backer of Democratic women candidates EMILY’s List is throwing its considerable organizing weight behind former state treasurer Cary Kennedy: Colorado is a true swing state whose Democratic governor is term-limited, leaving an open seat that has already attracted a crowded field of both […]
UPDATE: Looks like Team Brauchler fixed the “busy” problem. This is the second time we’ve done troubleshooting for Brauchler’s web presence, and we need to re-evaluate lest we be accused of making an in-kind donation. Lots of competent web talent out there…they just don’t work for George Brauchler. —– If you visit the website of Colorado […]

UPDATE: ACLU of Colorado urges Gov. John Hickenlooper to sign HB17-1313: The Colorado Legislature came together in 2017 to pass a bill reforming civil asset forfeiture (HB 1313), but Governor Hickenlooper is being pressured by police and sheriffs to veto it.

Last week, Trump announced that our nation will abandon the historic 195-country Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. Trump’s speech justifying this decision has been ridiculed worldwide for having no basis in reality. Then in Colorado, the truth struck back. Gov. John Hickenlooper condemned the decision to abandon […]

UPDATE: Judging from the comments on our YouTube page for this video, some people didn’t seem to understand that this was meant as satire. —– Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) met with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on May 31 in Manila, and the secretive rendezvous did not put Gardner in a very good light.

Dear Senator Scott, You recently sent an email to a Denver scientist who asked you to protect our environment. That email has become the laughing stock of the progressive world. You said, “I respect your ideological idea’s, but the science is clear. You have cleaner water, air and mortality rates brought to you by fossil […]
UPDATE: Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver blasts the decision: “Pulling out of the Paris Agreement won’t happen overnight, but this announcement’s impact will be immediate: It signals that the United States cannot be counted on to stick to its promises and is prepared to cede leadership in yet another area that is crucial to our […]
As the Denver Business Journal’s Neil Westergaard reports, an icon of Colorado political news is being absorbed into Republican billionaire Phil Anschutz’s growing media empire–and the loser is, well, all of us: The Colorado Statesman, a venerable political and public policy weekly newspaper and website that has been in continuous publication since 1898 in Denver, […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper reports, GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs is appealing to the Environmental Protection Agency–that is, the new EPA under President Donald Trump–to drop a lawsuit filed by that agency and joined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and Pueblo County over the city of Colorado […]

From the Washington Post: Jared Kushner and Russia’s ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports. Ambassador Sergey Kislyak […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In what appear to be his most extensive comments on the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate that 23 million Americans would lose health insurance under the House Republicans’ bill to replace Obamacare, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) expressed no alarm over the finding, maintaining instead that Obamacare must be replaced and that […]
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its score of the GOP healthcare legislation (Trumpcare 2.0/American Health Care Act) late Wednesday, and the numbers are absolutely terrible for Congressional Republicans. Thursday’s front page of the Denver Post summed up the bad news in pretty stark terms, as you can see from the image at right. Colorado Republicans took […]
Colorado State Sen. Tim Neville (R-Littleton) has never been shy to broadcast his supposed “pro-life” position. When you look under the hood, however, it seems that he must not care about reducing the abortion rate. How else could you explain his support for policies that would increase abortion rates and make it harder for women to […]
