(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Most Denver area school districts will close buildings for “in-person” education, starting next week on Monday, March 16, in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Jeffco, Aurora, and Cherry Creek public schools will effectively start spring break a week early, from March 16 until March 27, 2020. Denver Public Schools, which has […]
UPDATE: Eli Stokols of the Los Angeles Times (and formerly Fox 31 News in Colorado) summarizes Trump’s truth troubles: One of the areas on which Trump has most conspicuously made statements that don’t square with reality involves testing for the virus. “We’ve done a good job on testing,” he insisted Thursday. Almost simultaneously, Dr. Anthony […]
As readers know, there is an ongoing complaint before the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission targeting former Gov. John Hickenlooper over travel expenses incurred in the course of his duties as well as certain private events which are subject to the state’s ethics laws passed by voters overwhelmingly in 2006. As we wrote a few weeks […]
UPDATE #6: The Colorado Times Recorder has the latest damage control report. —– UPDATE #5: And now they’re blaming reporters.

The Gardner […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you want facts about coronavirus, you can visit the website of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But if you want to believe the threat of coronavirus is a hyperbolic creation of Democrats and the news media, tune to some of Colorado’s leading right-wing talk radio shows. On KNUS’ […]
(Not the ideal messaging from Big Hospital as it prepares to fight the Colorado Option — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s largest hospitals are ramping up a campaign against legislation aimed at lowering health care costs, saying they’re being unfairly targeted and the proposed law would weaken the hospitals. But in various industry news interviews […]
We took note last Friday of a bizarre out-of-the-blue Tweet from Rep. Ken Buck, who also serves as the chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, seemingly threatening violence against Sen. Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke with an AR-15 style rifle Buck keeps in his Washington office. Although we’re sure Buck got […]

Colorado Citizen Press, an anonymous ultra-conservative blog, is sponsoring the Chuck and Julie Show, a right-wing podcast with hosts Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden, who burst into the national media late last year after Bonniwell joked on KNUS radio that a “nice school shooting” was needed to break up the “never-ending” impeachment hearings. The pair’s […]
Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. With concerns over the spread of the COVID-19 virus dominating the headlines, we’re grateful in Colorado to have competent public health administrators and elected officials working day and night to ensure preparedness.

As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports, the Democratic majority in the Colorado General Assembly is moving ahead with two new pieces of gun safety legislation meeting the established criteria for a wild political ride: overwhelming public support and common-sense appeal up against the bunker mentality of today’s embattled gun lobby: Colorado gun owners could […]
One of the big political stories of 2019 in Colorado centered around the completely disastrous attempts by right-wing Republicans to “recall” Democratic lawmakers from office. Angry Facebook groups morphed into angry recall “organizations” that did a decent job of stealing people’s money but had more trouble accomplishing their stated goals; various recall groups tried and failed […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As coronavirus infections rise, supporters of Obamacare in Colorado are calling on politicians, like Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), to stop trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), pointing out that the current health care crisis highlights the benefits of the national health care law, like the fact that 400,000 people […]
As the Denver Post’s political team reports, Colorado Democrats and Republicans held their precinct-level caucuses yesterday afternoon, which traditionally mark the start of full-scale organizing for primary candidates well in advance of the parties’ primary elections–formerly in August, more recently moved up to June to give nominees time to make an unfettered case. And yesterday […]
SUNDAY UPDATE: The mother of Jessica Ghawi, one of the 12 victims of the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, responds with outrage we are in no position to question: My precious daughter was slaughter with the same type of gun in YOUR state. Shot 6 times with those .223s ripping & tearing through her tiny body. […]

Yesterday, Sen. Kerry Donovan and Rep.

This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Alan Franklin spend plenty of time trying to sift through Super Tuesday results; we check in on some more odd behavior by Colorado Republicans; Sen. Cory Gardner’s 2020 campaign narrative confuses us; and House Majority Leader Alec Garnett joins us again for an update […]
(Cue laugh track – Promoted by Colorado Pols) When Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner first ran for Senate in 2014, the phrase “climate change,” “global warming,” or other words describing the destruction of the Earth’s atmosphere, didn’t appear on his campaign website, except in a linked news release slamming his opponent for supporting Obama’s “Overreach on […]
