Political news this Sunday morning is dominated by a statement made by Donald Trump at least night’s re-election rally in Tulsa–a statement that, if true, could be the most damning admission ever made by a sitting American President: In a shocking admission during his Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally on Saturday night, President Donald Trump said he […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Sean Price, Colorado Times Recorder. As events protesting police brutality continue across the nation, two Colorado Republicans insinuated on Facebook that the violence — the instances of looting or rioting — at some of these protests did not occur randomly and was not incited by the police presence. They implied, […]
UPDATE #3: And here’s Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver): Right now, Cory Gardner, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Andrew Romanoff are all running attack ads against @Hickenlooper.

There are 12 days to go until the end of the 2020 Primary Election in Colorado. Here’s where things stand this afternoon in the marquee race for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination. Andrew Romanoff’s campaign is touting (touting?) the results of an internal poll showing that it trails former Gov. John Hickenlooper by a 12-point margin. […]
The United States Supreme Court issued its second bombshell decision of the week following Monday’s decision in favor of LGBTQ workplace protections. The Washington Post reports on today’s big ruling to preserve DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which was announced by then-President Obama six years ago this week: The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected […]
Media Matters for America posted a story today that has quickly turned into another major controversy for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign–much like scheduling a rally on Juneteenth in Tulsa, an “error” so outrageous that it calls into question how it could have possibly been in error at all: Since June 3, the Trump campaign […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Patrick Neville’s seat is safe, but is his leadership title? With Colorado’s primary election just two weeks away, statehouse campaigns to be the major party nominees are heating up. The competition is particularly fierce among the Republican races, where so-called dark money groups are spending unprecedented amounts of money. The disputed […]
Two new stories today highlight what former Gov. John Hickenlooper’s supporters hope is the start of a righted narrative for the candidate who has for months been cited as the presumed frontrunner in the Democratic Senate primary to take on Sen.

After Chance Hill, who sits on the University of Colorado’s governing board, wrote a Facebook post that contained multiple clauses taken verbatim from the writing of pundit George Will, a University of Colorado professor thinks Hill is “now very well placed” to take part in a public discussion of how to “face up to our […]

Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign was all about how America was totally the best country ever (or would be, if he were elected). The infamous “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) slogan has since morphed into the logically-inconsistent “Keep America Great” or “Transitioning to Greatness” tagline(s) as Trump’s re-election campaign steams forward. Is America already “great” […]

In today’s The Spot newsletter, Denver Post political reporter Alex Burness offers some useful context as the battle over Senate Bill 163, legislation to improve Colorado’s bottom-in-the-nation childhood immunization rates, comes to a successful conclusion for proponents: [I]t has taken a Democrat-controlled General Assembly two years to muster support to pass a bill that allows […]

Lori Saine (R-Firestone) — who is also the House Minority Caucus Chair — delivered a questionable history lesson during a floor speech in the House of Representatives.
