Vice President Kamala Harris closed out the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday evening with a rousing speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President and kicking off the last two month scramble toward Election Day. Thursday’s speaker lineup also included two Colorado elected officials: Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Aurora). Governor […]
The campaign of worm-brained Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. continues to run into snags. As Andy Kenney reports for Colorado Public Radio, Worm-F-K, Jr. isn’t likely to be on Colorado’s Presidential ballot as a Libertarian candidate after all: A fight over which candidate will represent the Libertarian Party on Colorado’s presidential ballot may be […]
Republicans have had a hard time winning elections in Colorado in recent years. The way back to political relevance in the state legislature, such that one exists when the GOP only holds 19 of a possible 65 seats, apparently starts with a bonkers candidate in Douglas County named Matt Burcham. The 2022 “Bluenami” in Colorado […]
Nothing quite says, “Happy Birthday, America” like opening the door to turning the United States into a dictatorship. The conservative majority on the United States Supreme Court used the opportunity of the week of America’s birthday to award “Presidential immunity” to whomever occupies the top elected office in the land. The Washington Post explains a […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby updates on the latest legal maneuvers in the long-awaited felony prosecution of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who has tried every frivolous trick in the book to delay her trial on charges brought by Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein, a (important plot point here) fellow Republican: Former […]
As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, and we confess we probably wouldn’t be discussing at all were it not for the contrary result, the Colorado Libertarian Party has made the decision to not endorse their own party’s nominee for President: Colorado’s Libertarian Party doesn’t plan to submit paperwork putting the […]
May 21, 2024. We marked it down for you last week: The day that the Colorado Republican Party died. You’ll recall that day as the one in which the Colorado Republican Party sent out an official email calling on all Colorado Republicans to remove their children from public schools post-haste. “All Colorado parents should be […]
On the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discussed what might be the most impossible paradox in modern American politics: This question is so difficult, in fact, that we decided to put it to a vote among readers of Colorado Pols. By now you’ve probably heard […]
We’ve often joked in this space that some politicians who act particularly crazy — usually those on the far right — have had their brains eaten by social media, or the internet, or whatever. As it turns out, this might actually happen. According to various reports, including from The New York Times, Independent Presidential candidate […]
Yesterday was the annual Latino/a Advocacy Day at the Colorado State Capitol, an annual event that like so many other routine functions at the Capitol didn’t result in much controversy in the “before times”–that sometimes-mythologized halcyon period before either the global pandemic or Donald Trump where the discourse under the Dome was somewhat less consistently […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Lauren Boebert burst into Congress on a wave of loving publicity from right-wing media outlets, including FOX News and Colorado talk-radio shows. Now conservative media are turning against her. Two Trump-backing media figures, Julie Hayden and Chuck Bonniwell, didn’t hide their anger at Boebert on their “Chuck and Julie Show” podcast […]
This year’s roundup of the biggest lies in American politics compiled by FactCheck.org, thicker than ever in 2023 from Hunter Biden to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., features two separate dishonorable mentions for Colorado’s factually antagonistic Rep. Lauren Boebert–the first being the President’s self-confessed failson: Involvement in Hunter Biden’s business deals. Immediately after Hunter Biden’s former […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “I pick up the Bible in one hand, and I pick up the newspaper in the other. And I read almost the same words in the newspaper as I read in the Bible. It’s being fulfilled every day round about us.” – Billy Graham According to the New York Times, Pastor Jared […]

(Just wow — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Even if he loses his law license due to his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, former Trump attorney John Eastman will continue working on Colorado Republican Party’s case to stop unaffiliated voters from participating in primary elections, according to a lead attorney on […]
“Thank God it’s Friday” is one of those mindless phrases that has been so overused that it’s almost embarrassing to utter the words anymore. That doesn’t mean it can’t still be an accurate expression, however – especially if your name is Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Boebert is no doubt relieved to see this week come to […]
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) joined many of her Freedom Caucus colleagues in a full-blown “globalist” conspiracy press conference yesterday. In addition to a dozen or so members of Congress, the “Exit the WHO [World Health Organization]” event at the Capitol featured organizer Frank Gaffney, a notorious Islamophobe whose Center for Security Policy is an anti-Muslim […]
MONDAY UPDATE: Republicans in Jefferson County are having their own set of problems, as this Facebook post explains: —– UPDATE: Going great! The battle for control of the El Paso County GOP in Colorado was back in court Friday, as state Republicans and the county party filed dueling motions over who gets to run next week’s […]
As we’ve discussed at length in this space, Colorado Republicans have a long road ahead of them following the 2022 “Bluenami” that wiped out GOP candidates up and down the ballot. We keep looking for examples that the Colorado GOP understands its predicament and is willing to make the type of changes necessary to become competitive […]

As the New York Times’ Neil Vigdor reports, a Trump-endorsed QAnon-curious January 6th participant Republican congressional candidate’s campaign for Congress is careening out of control, after his self-professed record of military service turned out to be wildly overstated: J.R. Majewski, a Republican House candidate in northern Ohio, has frequently promoted himself as a combat veteran […]
