(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky’s announcement that he’s dumped his bill to replace Obamacare and, instead, will push legislation to repeal the health care law without replacing it for up to two years, a comment by U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) sounds a ton more significant today […]
UPDATE #2: Robert Mueller is very interested in the emails released by Donald Trump Jr. As CNN reports: Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators plan to examine the meeting and email exchanges disclosed by Donald Trump Jr. as part of the broader Russian-meddling investigation, according to a US official briefed on the matter… …The details of the […]
We are winning the fight to protect Obamacare. In the last two weeks, Mitch McConnell and Cory Gardner’s campaign to dismantle health care reform and take away coverage from millions of Americans has begun to implode. Republican Senators are abandoning the effort in droves. Over the 4th of July recess, lawmakers who were brave enough […]
For the third time since Donald Trump took office, Republicans in Washington are preparing for a vote on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take away health coverage from millions of Americans. Once again the progress our nation has made on health coverage is in danger, but something’s different this time around. […]
There is so much breaking news lately on the ever-widening allegations about Russian ties to the Trump campaign that it can be difficult to keep track of everything. With that in mind, we’ve created what we’re calling “The Daily D’oh!” to help you stay up-to-date on President Trump and the rest of the White House staff as more […]
UPDATE #2: Via Talking Points Memo: Rank-and-file Senate Republicans had one thing in common with their Democratic counterparts in the health care debate Tuesday: Most did not know exactly what is going to be in the GOP Obamacare repeal legislation expected to be unveiled Thursday and put up for a vote as soon as next week. […]
The fight to protect the historic gains in health coverage Colorado has enjoyed in recent years is entering the critical phase. After the first attempt by Republicans under President Trump to repeal the Affordable Care Act collapsed in failure, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado has joined a small group of Republican Senators to craft a […]
In Colorado the state of the resistance is strong. On Saturday, hundreds of Coloradans from all walks of life came together at Denver’s Shorter AME Community Church for the Resist Forward Summit. The event brought together some our state’s communities of color, LGBTQ and women’s advocates, immigrant rights supporters, environmentalists, leaders in the faith community, […]
UPDATE: Looks like Team Brauchler fixed the “busy” problem. This is the second time we’ve done troubleshooting for Brauchler’s web presence, and we need to re-evaluate lest we be accused of making an in-kind donation. Lots of competent web talent out there…they just don’t work for George Brauchler. —– If you visit the website of Colorado […]
Last week, Trump announced that our nation will abandon the historic 195-country Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. Trump’s speech justifying this decision has been ridiculed worldwide for having no basis in reality. Then in Colorado, the truth struck back. Gov. John Hickenlooper condemned the decision to abandon […]
The Greeley Tribune’s Sharon Dunn reports from Weld County, Colorado, where a solidly Republican electorate voted for Donald Trump last November–and now face the consequences of their vote: About 73,584 Weld County residents use Medicaid, according to the most recent count by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing. That’s about 24 percent of […]
At the White House, the purge has begun. President Donald Trump returned from a disastrous nine-day trip abroad, in which he embarrassed our nation and alienated some of America’s closest allies, to face the swirling controversies swamping his administration and a domestic agenda the public overwhelmingly rejects in poll after poll. Today, White House Communications […]
If you’ve turned out for any of the major protest events in Denver since Donald Trump took office, you might already know Katie Farnan. Katie is a mother of two young kids who stood up after Trump’s election to start organizing the resistance in her community. Last week, the Associated Press told Katie’s story: Stationing […]
Last week was one of the most bizarre and troubling weeks in American political history. As the investigation into President Donald Trump’s ties to the Russian government and possible collusion to win the 2016 election continues, President Trump’s abrupt firing of FBI Director James Comey is the most brazen attempt to manipulate an investigation into […]
Last week, Republicans in Congress passed a bill that will repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a system that will result in millions of Americans losing their coverage. Among other things, the bill removes protections for Americans with pre-existing medical conditions, treats sexual assault as a pre-existing condition, and is, essentially, a […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”33%”]”I think the difference between what he wants and what we want is that we’re interested in elections and he’s just interested in getting elected.” — Deputy Secretary of State Suzanne Staiert (Denver Post, 5/1/17)[/mantra-pullquote] The Colorado legislative session will come to a close on Wednesday, but things are getting nasty in […]
Colorado is one of the most educated states in America. We are home to some of the most important federal scientific research facilities in the nation—especially critical research into renewable energy and the effects of human-caused global climate change. Our Colorado way of life is dependent on a beautiful natural environment, access to public lands, […]
We’re three months into Donald Trump’s presidency. This is when the pundits predicted that Americans would grow fatigued over protesting against Trump’s agenda, and would “accept” the reality that radical and harmful changes were inevitable to our nation’s most basic institutions. Once again: the pundits were wrong. On Saturday, thousands of Coloradans again gathered in […]
Today, as you probably already know, Neil Gorsuch was sworn in to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Neil Gorsuch is from Colorado, but his record stands in opposition to the values we care about as Coloradans. Gorsuch’s confirmation is a disappointment, and we can only hope that the grave concerns Americans have expressed about […]
Sarah Darville writes for Chalkbeat Colorado: Earlier this month, U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was praising Denver’s efforts to support school choice. Not today. Speaking at the Brookings Institution Wednesday, she called out Denver as an example of a district that appears to be choice-friendly — but actually lacks sufficient options for families. A new […]
(Read Colorado Pols – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Fake news is a giant threat to democracy, yet there’s little grassroots activism combating it. That’s why it’s great, necessary, and essential that Colorado Common Cause is hosting a discussion Thursday, April 6, on “Fighting Fake News in the Digital Age.” The focus is on what we […]
Sunday morning, the faithful gathering at the Islamic Center of Fort Collins were greeted by a terrible sight. During the night, a vandal had attacked the building, smashing the center’s glass entry doors with rocks and desecrating their prayer hall. Since Donald Trump’s victory last November, acts of hate like the attack on the Islamic […]
“The pressure is working.” For almost two months, Coloradans have been turning out by the thousands to hold President Donald Trump and right-wing Sen. Cory Gardner accountable for the steady stream of bad news about what’s happening in Washington. Friday evening, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC recounted in detail the enormous success of the protests in […]
For weeks, concerned citizens across Colorado and the nation have turned out in massive numbers to voice our concerns about the direction of our country under President Trump. This weekend, Trump’s supporters vowed a response. And it was a flop. Pro-Trump rallies failed across America to attract anything close to the crowds who have showed […]
Talking about healthcare reform is easy. Donald Trump says that Obamacare will be repealed and replaced “with something terrific,” though he doesn’t have any idea what that might entail (and if he does, he’s not saying anything specific). Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) sums up Republican healthcare efforts by saying,”On health insurance: lower the cost of care and increase the quality […]
