After everything we’ve been through in the past six weeks, the greater tragedy would be if the sacrifices we’ve made together to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic are undone by a tiny fringe who refuse to accept science and consider the law to be their “personal […]
Colorado Public Radio reports on the event dominating Gov. Jared Polis’ work week, a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Donald Trump in a newly contaminated area of the city known as the White House: “The Governor’s first priority is the health and safety of Coloradans, and the federal government is an important […]

Last Friday, as readers know, there was a plot afoot for an illegal armed protest at the Colorado state capitol that failed to materialize under heavy police presence. Detailed “rules of engagement” instructions were given for participants to arrive with their weapons “hot, locked, and ready to rock,” and criteria outlined for when to open […]

FRIDAY UPDATE: It’s more than a little disconcerting to bring you this update, but the President of the United States has thrown his lot in with the armed protesters who stormed the Michigan state capitol building yesterday. The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, […]
“I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for.” –Thornton Wilder
Democrat Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign is reportedly working to narrow his list of prospective running mates, so we thought it would be a good time to ask Colorado Pols readers to predict the future. As always, we want to know what you think will happen here — not what you want to happen or who you […]

The 2018 election cycle was a huge year for Democrats in Colorado, but also across the country. Democrats won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 but actually lost two seats in the U.S. Senate (more on that in a moment). That may change in 2020. In 2018, Democrats flipped 40 seats in […]
Several local news outlets are collaborating to write a series of what’s known in the business as “human interest stories” about various public and ordinary figures in Colorado during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Such coverage works to avoid political and frankly any sort of controversy, and focus on the “human element” with a more expository […]
Thank you to the people of Colorado for the warm and gracious notes and letters sent to me for all of the Ventilators we got for you. It was my great honor! @SenCoryGardner — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 25, 2020 This morning, President Donald Trump posted the Tweet you can read above, thanking the […]
(God helps those who don’t screw themselves – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Saying “we will not get through this mess without the blessing of God,” U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) told a conservative radio host Thursday that he will apparently defy Gov. Jared Polis’ (D-CO) orders and go to church May 3, one week from […]
UPDATE #2: President Trump made a pretty weak attempt to cover for himself today. From The Washington Post: President Trump claimed Friday that he was speaking sarcastically when he mused during a White House briefing about whether disinfectants that can kill the novel coronavirus on surfaces and in the air might be used inside the human […]
Earlier this week, Sen. Cory Gardner appeared on the Hugh Hewitt conservative AM radio talk show to assail House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democrats for “stalling” the latest round of coronavirus relief legislation–which among its many provisions replenishes the depleted Paycheck Protection Program for forgivable loans to businesses to help cover payroll costs. Gardner […]

This is the headline for today’s editorial in the Colorado Springs Gazette, the leading right-of-center outlet in the state owned by Colorado Republican megadonor Phil Anschutz.

As a team of Denver Post reporters detail for us, yesterday Gov. Jared Polis outlined a process by which the state of Colorado will begin to reopen the mostly-shuttered economy at the end of April after over a month of mandatory stay-at-home orders in place–orders which appear to have definitively turned the tide against the […]
As the old saying goes, it’s not what you don’t know that gets you into trouble–it’s what you know for sure that just isn’t so. Western Slope Republicans are proving it’s still as true as ever. Congressman Scott Tipton, to kick things off, heard a rumor! And on the basis of that rumor made some […]
