Republican Judy Reyher, the unabashed racist who was briefly a state legislator in HD-47 until voters decided, “no, thanks,” has removed herself from consideration for a State House seat in 2020. We noted last November that Reyher and her technicolor dreamcoat were hoping to make a comeback in the state legislature, but that campaign was […]
Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade reports while anyone paying attention picks their jaw up off the floor: President Trump said he’s happy with the way the impeachment trial is going thus far because his administration has not released “materials” that would hurt his cause. “When we released that conversation all hell broke out with the Democrats,” […]
Over the weekend, the New York Times published a long, comprehensive story about the curious inaccessibility and general invisibility of Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). They keep expecting to see Senator Cory Gardner everywhere — on the local Fox affiliates in Colorado, on Facebook, on literature crammed inside their mailboxes. They are voters who wear […]
“Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We noted last summer that Weld County voters were in for a wild game of musical chairs in 2020. It looks like the fun is going to get started a bit earlier than anticipated. Term-limited Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway is resigning his position effective Jan. 31, which means a short-term replacement must be selected […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This article, which originally appeared in the Colorado Times Recorder, was written by Noah Zucker. After Tuesday’s vaccine-oriented rally in front of the Colorado State Capitol, a few parents and some of their school-age children filled a committee room in the ornate building’s basement for a town-hall meeting, organized by state […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Hayley Sanchez reports from the Colorado Capitol yesterday, where thousands of newly-energized religious conservative voters turned out to support ending abortion rights in Colorado–and freely acknowledging that a 22-week abortion ban headed for the ballot this year is a step toward their goal of completely banning abortion: Thousands of abortion opponents rallied […]

Governor Jared Polis (D-Boulder) today delivered his second “State of the State” address to an audience of Colorado lawmakers and elected officials. Polis’ speech focused largely on health care issues and providing financial relief for Colorado families dealing with the high cost of health coverage and prescription drugs. Most of today’s “State of the State” […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, upstart CD-3 Republican primary challenger Lauren Boebert broadsided GOP incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton over his recent vote with “Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and 224 other Democrats” in favor of a new farm worker visa program bill: Rifle restaurant owner Lauren Boebert, who announced last month that she […]

Here’s our definitive recap of the wild wooly year in Colorado politics that was 2019.
As the Wall Street Journal reports: New state population totals released Monday offer fresh signs of how southern and western states will gain political power after the 2020 census. The figures from the Census Bureau measure changes to state populations for the year ended July 1. Because they come less than a year before the […]
The Denver Post’s Saja Hindi published before Chirstmas a very good long-form story on the changing politics of reproductive choice in Colorado, an issue long disparaged by local political reporters as irrelevant given the state’s solid Democratic control of the levers of power, but no longer as the rightward lurch of the federal judiciary up […]
Bloomberg News reports on the continuing impasse in the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate over passage of the SAFE Banking Act, legislation to allow state-legal marijuana businesses to access banking services currently denied them under federal law: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said he’s hoping the Trump administration and other lawmakers can help him salvage a plan to […]
Last night, the management of local hard-right AM talk radio station 710 KNUS took another step in what may become by the end the biggest housecleaning in local broadcast history: following the abrupt termination of the Chuck and Julie Show after host Chuck Bonniwell said Tuesday on the air that a “nice school shooting” would […]

“The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.” –Saint Augustine
UPDATE: And then there’s Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs), the dope of the Colorado delegation: Rep. Lamborn twice suggests that Obama sought help from the Russians in the 2012 election. But Obama’s remarks — “After my election I have more flexibility” — never requested help from Russia. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/LCGgcXtbyq — Justin Wingerter (@JustinWingerter) December 18, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In what appears to be another sign that KNUS 710-AM is unconcerned about allegations that a staffer is a Nazi, the station’s afternoon-drive show conducted an on-air film review Friday of a classic anti-Nazi movie, Inglourious Basterds. “Who doesn’t hate Nazis? We all do,” said KNUS host Steffan Tubbs on air, […]
