Keeping tabs on what’s become a perennial distraction for Colorado’s more excitable far-right Republican whacktivists, the twice-failed but going for three campaign to qualify a recall question against Gov. Jared Polis for the statewide ballot. Next month, the Recall Polis campaign is back with 400% more…of everything! Starting with punctuation! So, we don’t know who […]
Fresh off his loss to Kristi Burton Brown in the race to be the next Colorado Republican Party chairman, former Secretary of State, “election truther” of record, and red meat slinger extraordinaire Scott Gessler seems much more upfront about how he really feels: By “communists” we don’t think Gessler means you personally. We don’t think. […]
When we last left the Recall Polis 2.0 campaign back in December of 2020, organizers were attempting to explain to their dismayed volunteers how despite all their best efforts, less than one third of the required 600,000+ signatures that would be required to put a recall question against Gov. Jared Polis on a statewide ballot […]

This coming Friday, everyone in Colorado aged 16 and up will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Everyone. As usual, Colorado is ahead of the curve in responding […]
It was right around March 13, 2020, when students across Colorado stopped most in-person learning because of the Coronavirus pandemic. One year later — literally almost to the day — a significant number of students will be returning to classrooms full time. While many Colorado school districts had already been providing in-person classroom instruction […]

After nearly five years at the helm of ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest multi-issue progressive advocacy organization, today I announced I’ll be stepping down in the coming months pending the hire of a new executive director.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After joining a news conference yesterday with Rudolph Giuliani claiming without evidence that widespread fraud undermined November’s presidential election, Trump’s legal advisor Jenna Ellis jumped on a Denver conservative radio show and alleged, again with no evidence, that Colorado-based voting machine firm may have committed fraud to give victories to losing […]
After nearly two weeks of trying, a reporter finally got outgoing Sen. Cory Gardner to utter words in response to the terminal crisis of Donald Trump’s out-of-control presidency–Trump’s refusal to acknowledge the results of an election that no reasonable observer has found any reason to question the results of. Free of the obligation to defend […]
(Bumped into November) It appears likely that Sen. Cory Gardner will not be re-elected to the U.S. Senate next week. If months and years of polling data are accurate, Gardner will be handily defeated by Democrat John Hickenlooper. It will be a loss of his own making. Like many Republicans, Gardner might have been dragged […]
NBC News reports on the wackiest–and ickiest–story in politics today: Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, fell for an embarrassing Sacha Baron Cohen prank in the soon-to-be-released movie sequel to “Borat.” In the film, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News, Giuliani and a fictional young female reporter, who was part of […]
Anyone who reads this website or follows Colorado politics in general is well aware that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) really has only one political superpower: Obfuscation. Gardner has mastered the ability of saying many words in a particular order so that the end result is a completely nonsensical response to your question. It doesn’t matter […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After once saying she hopes QAnon is “real,” Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert now says she doesn’t “follow QAnon,” but she goes on to say, in multiple interviews, that government workers, whom she refers to as the “deep state,” appear to be “actively undermining President Trump.“ She also repeatedly expresses support […]
Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is up with a new re-election ad today that probably won’t do much to alter his seemingly-inevitable path to defeat at the hands of former Gov. John Hickenloooper. Gardner’s latest TV spot, which you can view below, continues on his 2020 theme of commercials that are, frankly, pretty dumb. In this […]
Video of a violent assault against a group of Black Lives Matter counter-protesters who showed up at a large “Back The Blue” rally outside Fort Collins, Colorado police headquarters on Saturday is making national headlines today, with media outlets left and right rushing to impart their desired spin on what appears from a straight examination […]
CNN reports on what could be rightly considered an inevitable development as we close in on three months before the fateful 2020 presidential election–GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has given the signal that vulnerable Republican Senators up for re-election in November alongside an imploding President Donald Trump can, if they determine it is politically […]
As Denver7’s Ryan Osborne reports, the Aurora City Council is holding an emergency meeting this evening to respond to growing controversy over the aggressive response by the Aurora Police Department to a peaceful protest held Saturday afternoon and evening seeking justice for Elijah McClain: Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman called a special city council meeting for […]
Oof. The hits just keep on coming for Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma): Listen to White House Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows mockingly laugh when I ask if Trump plans to carry through on his promise to @CoryGardner to relax federal marijuana laws https://t.co/82yImAR2lI — Matt Laslo (@MattLaslo) June 18, 2020 The White House later tried to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Donald Trump lies all the time, but we know he prizes loyalty over all else. So when he says Cory Gardner has been with him 100%, we believe him.
We touched on this in today’s Get More Smarter update, and the debate goes on over one of the most vitriolic Tweets ever from President Donald Trump–so much so that Twitter again took the exigent step of flagging the Tweet for violating its policy against “glorifying violence.” The original tweet read: “These THUGS are dishonoring […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) jumped on conservative talk radio yesterday to laugh off a letter from Colorado House Speaker KC Becker and others requesting that Gardner pledge not to vote for Mitch McConnell as Republican leader of the U.S. Senate, if Gardner is re-elected in November. Gardner didn’t tell KHOW […]
(Better late than…wait, that’s not how this works – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Now somebody get the word to Vice President Mike Pence: Pray the COVID away? That’s not going to cut it now that even Ken Buck is wearing one. —– When you’ve been writing coronavirus stories and almost nothing else for […]
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 […]
(Read this – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Even in its purest form, political opposition research is by its nature a fishing expedition. Researchers scour public records for evidence of lawbreaking or wrongdoing by their target. Any evidence found can then be used for legal action, media pitches or paid advertising. When a political goal is […]
