(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner hasn’t held a town hall meeting with constituents in about a year and a half, choosing instead to meet with private groups and telling the public about such meetings after they occur. But he may have held conference calls with constituents, possibly in Colorado Springs, last week […]
A press release today from the Colorado Secretary of State’s office celebrates the signing by Gov. Jared Polis of a package of bills that builds on Colorado’s already proud record of extremely high voter participation: Today, Governor Jared Polis signed into law a package of legislation aimed at increasing access to and representation in our […]
(Molecules of freedom! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a bizarre literary crime, an official Department of Energy news release is touting exports of liquefied fracked gas (LNG) as “molecules of freedom.” This super-cooled fossil fuel is one of several last ditch hopes for an over-leveraged fracked gas industry deep in over-supply, debt, and declining […]
One of the more notable Democratic accomplishments of the 2019 legislative session came in the form of several bills packaged together to help Colorado combat Climate Change and reduce our carbon footprint. Earlier this month, the editorial board of the Denver Post added themselves to the list of those who appreciated the legislature’s work on Climate Change: […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper reports: Five months ago, Diane Mitsch Bush lost a bid to defeat U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Colo., but the Steamboat Springs Democrat is already announcing her intention to take on Tipton again next year in the 3rd Congressional District. Bush, a former state legislator and Routt County commissioner, received […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) WEDNESDAY POLS UPDATE: Dudley Brown fires back unrepentant: @davekopel decrying fundraising is like a meat eater who hates hunting because he gets his food from the grocery store “where no animals were harmed.” Newsflash: someone raised the $$ (7% of @i2idotorg budget). — DudleyWBrown (@dudleywbrown) May 29, 2019 —– Pro-gun activists […]
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was named first team All-NBA on Thursday — only the second player in Nuggets history to accomplish such a feat.

UPDATE: As Jennifer Rubin writes for the Washington Post, Pelosi sure knows how to push Trump’s buttons: Whether Pelosi intended this result or not, her ability to treat Trump as a spoiled child and provoke even more self-destructive behavior has several positive benefits for Democrats in this context. First, it puts the blame for not […]

The Colorado Sun’s John Frank wrote a story yesterday we’ve been waiting to see from a Colorado politics press corps for some time: an honest look at the stridently anti-abortion agenda of Colorado Republicans, who propose every year legislation as and even more restrictive than the near-total ban on abortions signed into law in Alabama […]
In the wake of the shooting at a STEM school in Highlands Ranch earlier this month, Colorado Democrats are considering legislation to tighten the state’s laws around gun storage and child access, as the Colorado Sun reports: “The end goal is that someone who shouldn’t have access to a firearm can’t access it,” said Senate Majority Leader […]
If you weren’t around late last night on the Twitters, you missed it: That’s Rep. Scott Tipton’s official congressional Twitter account, with a meme we have no doubt they thought was terribly clever for a moment–mocking women who appear to be holding #TimesUp movement protest signs, which is the contemporary movement to stamp out sexual […]
(Wang Dang Sweet Poontang! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A few years ago Rocker Ted Nugent was on Colorado radio saying the Republican Party has “no balls” and “someone extracted their scrotum with a rusty siv.” Now he’s saying Trump is his “hero,” and Nugent is doing a fundraiser for a Republican sheriff in norther […]

We wrote last week about the most recent “Lincoln Day” dinner hosted by the Pueblo County Republicans, featuring newly-minted “CEO” of the Colorado Republican Party Steve House saying too much about the real purpose of threatened recalls against Democratic state lawmakers–a fresh angle from which to combat the GOP’s trend of losses in Colorado elections, […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: This headline in the Denver Post sums up an awful week for Giellis: Elsewhere, this interview with Kyle Clark of 9News demonstrates that Giellis still has no idea how to deal with her own blunders: —– This week started out pretty good for Denver Mayoral candidate, streetcar enthusiast, and occasional voter Jamie Giellis, who is campaigning […]
(All class – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado Special Assistant Attorney General Mike Davis was busted by national media last week for tweeting an inflammatory fake photo. Davis shared the fake photo, originally created by the Onion, showing a bloody U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky holding up the severed head of […]
(It’s war. For Colorado Republicans, it’s always war. – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican leaders expressed what appeared to be cathartic disagreement yesterday over whether to support a move by Colorado’s Republican Party to recall a state lawmaker for backing a gun-control bill, after the lawmaker, whose his son died in the Aurora theater massacre, […]

Bob Seay Recalls of Democratic lawmakers in Colorado are not about making sure lawmakers faithfully represent their communities. Quite the opposite. These strategic recalls are designed by Colorado Republicans to nullify the results of the 2018 election and to gather information for the 2020 election. They are voter suppression after the fact. Republican attacks on […]
“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.” –Samuel Johnson
A press release from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee calls out Sen. Cory Gardner along with several other 2020 GOP vulnerables for a provision in the 2017 Trump tax cut legislation that’s being panned on both sides of the aisle for its “unintended” effects on military survivors: The reckless Republican tax law passed in 2017 […]
This morning, the Colorado Senate Republican minority comms office put out a video attacking Democrats for their supposed “overreach” in the 2019 session. We’re embedding it below, but we’ll warn you in advance that we got more than a little nauseous watching it–not due to its unpersuasive arguments, but the weird overexposed shaky-cam effect they […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A dispute has emerged among Colorado Republicans about how much to rely on a giant database of voter information developed over many years with billions of dollars by the Koch brothers, the GOP’s mega donors. The Koch database, called i360, is heralded by many Republicans as a beautiful tool to target […]
