PM UPDATE: The Greeley Tribune’s Tyler Silvy updates, as the story of Rep. Lori Saine’s whitewash-y revisionist history goes to hell with a disturbing quickness: Following media reports from across the state and beyond which focused largely on Saine’s lynching comments, Saine argued with constituents on Facebook and Tuesday morning appeared on right-wing radio host […]
The shutdown crisis raging in Washington. The Colorado legislature getting down to business in Denver. A huge backlog of progressive priority legislation to pass after years of divided government in Colorado, and accountability for Republicans in Washington like Cory Gardner as they continue to enable President Trump’s destructive agenda. This isn’t just an opportunity to […]

UPDATE: The Greeley Tribune’s Tyler Silvy: A Colorado representative said black people and white people were lynched in nearly equal numbers for being Republican in the post-Reconstruction era. Rep.

2019’s long MLK Day weekend kicked off with the third annual Womxn’s March in Denver and cities across the nation, and in that spirit Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland takes stock today of the growing legislative power of women in our state–an historic majority comprised of women in the Colorado House, and continued gains in […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s morning news watchers got a dose of politics with their coffee earlier today. A new ad campaign launched today is calling Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) to account for his role in the now month-long government shutdown. Noting the unprecedented length of the shutdown, the ad lists several serious consequences, including […]
President Trump reportedly “remains resolute” in his determination to keep the federal government closed for as long as it takes to build his big ol’ border wall. So…explain this one, would you? As the Associated Press reports, the U.S. State Department somehow has money to pay people to return to work: The State Department on Thursday […]
First off, Democrats were across the board more popular in 2018. However, the size of their wins down ballot depended on better turn out. While there are still fewer people voting for the down ballot races those gaps all narrowed in 2018 when compared with the turn out in the Governor’s race. 2014 Down Ballot […]
UPDATE: As the New York Times reports, Trump is feeling the pressure: President Trump has insisted that he is not going to compromise with Democrats to end the government shutdown, and that he is comfortable in his unbendable position. But privately, it’s sometimes a different story. “We are getting crushed!” Mr. Trump told his acting […]
AP reporting–House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who if you weren’t aware is third in line of succession to the Presidency after Donald Trump and Mike Pence, just slammed home a presidential-grade power play that reminded all of Washington how Congress is a separate and (key word here) equal branch of government: The partial government shutdown threw […]
The Denver Nuggets were in first place in the Western Conference entering last night’s highly-anticipated home game against the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors…and then they promptly lost by 31 points.

Ken Buck (R-CO) took shots at one of his opponents in the race to be leader of the state Republican Party. “I understand that Susan Beckman wants this job. It pays […]
(Anthropomorphism gone rather awry – Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s been nearly a century since The Little Engine That Could first charmed children with its cheerful smile and can-do attitude. These days, kids love characters such as Thomas the Tank Engine and the cast of “Toy Story,” all of whom continue the tradition of entertaining […]
Today in Washington, the Senate Judiciary Committee questioned William Barr, Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General. With new revelations being uncovered by the special counsel practically every day, the prospect of Trump successfully hand-picking the next man to preside over the investigations into Trump’s campaign is deeply troubling. It doesn’t matter what Barr tells the […]
(Charitable hate? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Every year, Colorado state employees have the opportunity to make charitable donations through the Colorado Combined Campaign (CCC).

Iowa Congressman Steve King, who […]
The federal government shutdown is now the longest in U.S. history. New reports over the weekend indicate an increasing (yes, ever-increasing) level of concern about the possibility that President Trump is or has been actively working to advance the interests of Russia to the detriment of the United States. At the very least, it is […]
The 2019 session of the Colorado legislature is underway, and the calendar is rapidly filling up with important upcoming events and opportunities for you to have an immediate impact. After last year’s historic victory for progressives in Colorado, now comes the work to make the vision articulated by our new legislative majority and Gov. Polis […]
UPDATE #4: Gov. Jared Polis weighs in, and everyone seems to be on the same page: While I’m disappointed by today’s ruling, it only highlights the need to work with the Legislature and the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission to more safely develop our state’s natural resources and protect our citizens from harm. I’ve […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Much of the attention has been about the 41 seats out of 65 that Democrats captured in the house or the double digit margin of victory for Jared Polis in the governor’s race. A margin of 10.62% is nothing to disparage, but the Democratic victory in the Colorado House of Representatives […]
