(Promoted by Colorado Pols) One of the many surprisingly effective qualities of the cardboard cutout of U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO), which was built to highlight the senator’s decision not to hold town-hall meetings for years, is how photogenic it is, especially when it interacts with real humans. When people see the smiling cardboard cutout, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) WEDNESDAY POLS UPDATE: Here is UFCW President Kim Cordova on MSNBC from Monday night confirming that most workers at the JBS Greeley plant were never tested: Obviously, there’s a major factual discrepancy here in Cory Gardner’s taking personal credit for delivering thousands of tests to the JBS Greeley plant versus the […]
UPDATE: As Eli Rosen of the Colorado Democratic Party points out, you can’t cite yourself as an example of a person being critical of a thing: Memo to Team @CoryGardner: you can’t cite *yourself* to dismiss ethics accusations. That is not how this flacking thing works. #cosen #copolitics https://t.co/PfrURvk0gz pic.twitter.com/BOquYxjiQT — Eli Rosen (@EliRosen18) April […]
(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 […]

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…the coronavirus is still a thing; election laws are merely suggestions; and Colorado Republicans are shooting first and aiming later. We also have a long discussion with Congressman Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) who tells us what it’s like in Congress with everyone wearing masks and social distancing, and how […]
Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. There are hopeful signs that the hard six weeks we’ve been through are indeed slowing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks in large part to our in-state leadership, with no thanks to Trump and his political allies in Washington. With that said, it’s up to us now […]
(White House? What White House? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) If there is a limit to Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) willingness to refrain from criticizing President Trump, it seems musing about the benefits of ingesting bleach isn’t the last straw. Asked to evaluate the administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gardner refused, saying it was […]
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 […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby updates a story we’ve been following of Western Slope Republicans led by Rep. Scott Tipton snowballing misinformation into a veritable avalanche of bullshit directed at Gov. Jared Polis, making absurd allegations about the distribution of COVID-19 relief funds that say more about the competence of Polis’ accusers than Polis: […]
One football stadium’s worth of dead Americans. As of today, COVID-19 has killed over 50,000 people, roughly as many as can fit into the football stadium at Air Force Academy. Think about that the next time you drive down I-25. Now imagine that instead of dying of a disease, these 50,000+ people were killed by […]
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 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Calling COVID-19 an “urban disease” and an “old person’s disease,” Trump adviser Stephen Moore praised Colorado’s weekend protest against stay-at-home orders as “effective” in advancing Moore’s goal of reopening the economy quickly. “I saw some of the photos of what happened there in Colorado this week,” Moore told KCOL radio Monday, […]
As Politico’s Maggie Severns reports–the most powerful “astroturf” conservative political group on the ground in Colorado, the nationwide Americans For Prosperity organization funded heavily by the Koch network of right-wing philanthropy, made a decision regarding the recent far-right protests demanding an immediate reopening of the U.S. economy during the COVID-19 pandemic that might surprise our […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has been notoriously difficult to reach for comment recently, particularly when it comes to criticizing President Trump. Gardner’s reluctance to publicly cross his party’s leader has been widely reported, but that didn’t stop him from attacking his likely election opponent, former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, for failing […]
(The stupid burns like a fever – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Twenty-four state lawmakers sent a letter to Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) Monday, calling for a county-by-county approach to re-opening the state and alleging that protesters practicing safe social distancing over the weekend proved that the state can re-open safely. “If Coloradans can protest […]
As The Hill reports, some Republican public figures are a little more…frank in their estimation of the value of the lives of Americans than others in these trying times. That, for the second time in the present emergency, includes Texas Lite Gov. Dan Patrick: Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) called for the reopening of […]

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 […]
