Colorado Republicans are trying so hard to promote their nonsense narrative about unchecked crime in our state that they are refusing to even acknowledge the good work of state and local law enforcement agencies. Officials this week detailed the largest seizure of methamphetamine in state history — including a whopping 733 pounds found in Lakewood […]
As Brett Forrest reports for KOAA-TV Colorado Springs, the pressure is staying on freshman GOP Rep. Jeff Crank from family members of a victim of deceased billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to join a discharge petition that would force a vote on releasing the files from the investigation and the potentially bombshell names therein to the […]
If Congress were like a poker game, freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) would be in big trouble. That’s because Evans has an unshakable “tell” that gives him away every time. It’s quite simple: If Gabe Evans is talking, then he’s lying. Much like former Republican Sen. Cory Gardner — the last Republican to win […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, the Colorado Republican Party ended the tumultuous era of chairman Dave Williams on Saturday, now a relic of history along with the “Let’s Go Brandon” slur Williams tried to use as his middle name for ballot purposes. Williams’ […]
UPDATE: In a rambling email blast Saturday, Colorado GOP “Ballot and Election Security Chairman” “Raging” Ron Hanks lays the whole wacky theory out: Colorado’s election system was more mismanaged and corrupted in 2024 than ever, and the popular vote trends we saw in every other state strangely did not register in Colorado. We know, of […]
Republican Gabe Evans has been trying hard to present himself as a normal person throughout his campaign for Congress in CO-08. On Tuesday evening, the real Gabe Evans finally slipped out. During a live debate on 9News, Evans was asked THREE TIMES by co-moderator Kyle Clark to state his belief on when it might be […]
The Secretary of State’s office announced this afternoon that Republican CD5 Congressional Candidate and Colorado Springs State Senator Bob Gardner does not have sufficient signatures to qualify for the 2024 GOP Primary Ballot. Sen. Gardner fell short by 175 votes. Right now in the State Senate, Gardner will have the opportunity to do the right thing on SCR01. […]
This is a transcript of a portion of a committee hearing Monday at the Colorado Capitol on a bill, sponsored by state Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-Colorado Springs), outlawing abortion in Colorado, even for rape and incest. In the transcript, Bottoms is questioned by Rep. Jenny Willford (D-Northglenn). Democrats on the committee killed Bottoms’ proposed law […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“Can you imagine how mad we’d be at Shad [Murib, the Chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party] if he were attacking sitting Democrats? I would be furious with Shad. I’d be like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’” — Gov. Jared Polis on State Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams (via the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, what are all these MAGA Republicans doing funding my centrist organization? Our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado is (still) more concerned with what Twitter thinks than doing anything constructive for her district; and the ethically compromised United States Supreme Court wraps up this term by […]
Former El Paso County Clerk and commissioner Wayne Williams‘ career peaked in 2014 when he won election to the statewide office of Secretary of State, losing that post four years later to Jena Griswold as part of the 2018 clean election sweep by Democrats that has persisted to this today. After losing statewide office, Williams […]
Last weekend, Republican State Rep. Matt Soper (R-Delta) posted on Twitter that efforts to enact gun safety measures (presumably by the state legislature) could have ominious consequences. As Soper wrote: “We will NOT bow to tyrants and those who seek to disarms [sic] us need to be prepared for civil war!” On Monday, Soper asked […]
Colorado’s relentlessly crazy Q-uintessential conspiracy theorist Joe Oltmann, who has only in recent years managed to attract the most dubious kind of media attention as the target of a massive defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems and a regular public proponent of political violence, finally found a media outlet with global heft willing to carry […]
Unsafe working environments. Age discrimination. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines levied by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). For too many of Joe O’Dea’s employees, working on “Joe’s Crew” was the worst mistake they ever made. That is Joe O’Dea’s record for taking care of employees at Concrete Express, the business that […]
As readers know, Colorado Republicans are furiously sounding the alarm over ads running ahead of the June 28th primary attacking Republican candidates for U.S. Senate and governor Ron Hanks and Greg Lopez. Republican strategists interpret these ads as an attempt to boost what they consider to be the undesirable candidate in the race–in the process […]
Colorado Republicans looked for a long time for a candidate to run for Attorney General in 2022. They tried to convince 2018 AG loser George Brauchler to run again, but he said no. They tried to convince former Secretary of State Scott Gessler to give it a go, but he declined repeatedly. Ditto for former lawmaker […]
Colorado is one of only a handful of states that still participate in a caucus system for advancing candidates to the Primary Election ballot. The festivities get started this week, with some counties kicking things off tonight (Democrats in Denver and Jefferson counties, for example). Click here for information on caucuses from the Colorado Secretary […]
(Plotting a coup on CU payroll — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Trump lawyer John Eastman was on the payroll of the University of Colorado (CU) when he formally became a Trump lawyer and then wrote a widely discredited memo on how Trump could subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election. Politico revealed this […]
(The new line — Promoted by Colorado Pols) A linguistic pattern has emerged among Colorado GOP candidates who say our state’s 2020 election was legitimate but refuse to denounce the baseless accusation that the presidential election was stolen by Biden. Instead of revealing if they think the presidential election was fair, they simply say they […]
As Colorado’s newly-created independent redistricting commissions charged with drawing new maps for the state’s congressional and legislative districts churned through its meticulously-defined process this year, a process designed to install partisan “balance” to a process crucial to both sides’ partisan aspirations for the coming decade, many Colorado Democrats who won a huge majority in Colorado […]
A fundraising email this week from Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eli Bremer raised some eyebrows this week for employing a visual aid that didn’t exactly help convey the intended message: Violent Crime cases have hit a 25-year high in Colorado – and, quite frankly, who’s surprised? What else will it take, Colorado? When will we […]
The Denver Post’s Spot newsletter updates on what’s become a bit of a running joke in recent weeks, the contrived pre-announcement rollout of Republican CU Regent Heidi Ganahl’s campaign for governor–having now by all accounts decided on a run for governor, after publicly flirting with a run for U.S. Senator or even Treasurer in the […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports from a press conference held this morning by Secretary of State Jena Griswold, in which Griswold disclosed damning new details about the recent security breach in Mesa County election systems that resulted in confidential information being leaked to far-right conspiracy theorists–and ordered all affected elections equipment in Mesa […]
The release over the past week of preliminary draft redistricting maps for Colorado’s congressional, state legislative, and state senate districts ahead of a summer of hearings by the state’s new independent redistricting commissions has produced a huge volume of speculation of…varying quality, which we in this space have tried hard to avoid, recognizing as the […]
The consumption of alcohol and other mind-altering substances yields cognitive impairments that make it difficult for a person to responsibly operate a vehicle. When a person drives while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he or she is at an increased risk of causing a traffic crash. DUI accidents cause significant harm to those […]
