Back in 2022, GOP Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer was running for Congress in Colorado’s then brand-new and closely divided CO-08 with no apologies about one of the wackier points in her long record in elected office representing deep red Weld County, helping organize in 2013 a proposal for Weld and several other lightly-populated rural Colorado counties […]
On Monday, our friends at the Colorado Times Recorder put out a story detailing some decidedly non-mainstream views held by the Colorado Libertarian Party’s Secretary and 2026 Secretary of State candidate James Wiley regarding the recent assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk–alleging and then apparently standing by under pressure his belief that Kirk was killed […]
Back in January 2019, the satirical publication The Onion targeted then-Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) for a laugh by joking that polling data indicated that Americans blamed Tipton for a government shutdown that lasted more than a month (the true cause was President Trump’s insistence that Congress provide $5.7 billion for a border wall with Mexico […]
Late night television host Jimmy Kimmel returns to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” tonight on ABC after parent company Disney reversed course on last week’s “indefinite” suspension amid a flood of protests from activists, celebrities, and production studios. Kimmel marked the occasion by posting a photo on Instagram posing with the late Norman Lear, a longtime television […]
There isn’t time in the news cycle to take note of every ad that goes up in America’s hottest U.S. House race, Colorado’s ultra-swing CO-08 featuring America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans, but when it’s a timely, hard-hitting, and (most importantly) well-funded ad campaign like this latest offering from the House Majority Forward PAC, […]
As Nick Coltrain reports for The Denver Post, Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign promises to lower inflation and the cost of goods have been ignored. Instead, Colorado and the rest of the country on the brink of a recession: Colorado state government faces a continuing dim fiscal picture heading into next year as a slowing economy, […]
(It’s not the Libertarian Party you remember — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder The Libertarian Party of Colorado’s Executive Director Jim Wiley believes that the Israeli government is responsible for murdering Charlie Kirk. Wiley repeatedly made this claim as well as a series of other antisemitic statements in his public […]
We’re on Day 2 of our migration to the Disqus comment system and some kinks are still being worked out. Existing user accounts are not currently usable for commenting. We are working with Disqus on implementing their single sign-on function, but in the meantime please use one of the many Disqus login options to sign […]
MONDAY UPDATE: The Disqus migration is underway! We are in the process of importing thousands of existing comments into Disqus and syncing comments for display here. Things are going to be weird for a little while while we complete this process. In the meantime, you may use Disqus with any account option available and those […]
Over the weekend, MSNBC broke the latest problematic news for the “most transparent administration in American history”–a story that in any other administration would have ended in federal bribery charges, but because border czar Tom Homan is tight with Donald Trump, no such legal oversight apparently applies: The federal investigation was launched in western Texas […]
No matter their political affiliation, most major party nominees for President of the United States generally repeat a similar phrase in which they promise to be a President for all Americans. Most of them probably even mean what they say. Democrat Joe Biden said it when he was elected in 2020. Four years later, Democratic Presidential […]
As Politico reports, another moment of high manufactured drama from the ever-melodramatic Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina fizzled out yesterday afternoon, as a resolution fast-tracked by Rep. Mace to censure and strip of all committee assignments Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota over Omar’s remarks about deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk failed by a single […]
UPDATE: Rep. Ken DeGraaf responds to your humble hosts: We feel like we’re speaking for everyone when we say…okie dokie then. —– Following the sudden resignation of Republican House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese at the beginning of the week, the jockeying is on among the “Mighty 22” to find a successor willing to take on […]
(The stache is back — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Fremont County Commissioner Kevin Grantham is running for state Treasurer. The longtime public official also served in the Colorado state Senate from 2011 – 2019. During his time in the legislature, Grantham was a member of the Joint Budget […]
Back in June, we took note of a series of photo-op stops by America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans to locations in his district who have been or are about to be negatively impacted by policies of the Trump administration, and in particular the “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill for […]
Apparently without much notice even to her colleages in the Colorado House GOP minority caucus, Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports that Minority Leader Rose Pugliese will resign her El Paso County seat effective immediately, complaining about the “toxic” work environment in the aftermath of the controversy over now ex-Rep. Ryan Armagost’s (and much of […]
In the wake of the shooting death of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk, there was a wave of comments by politicians on both sides of the aisle calling for an end to divisive political rhetoric. Some of those comments were less believable than others — such as President Trump bemoaning the “demonizing” of political opponents […]
In the nearly two days since the assassination on Wednesday of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, mourning from conservatives over Kirk’s death has been channeled into a nationwide campaign to publicly shame and unemploy anyone they can find who failed to express the appropriate level of grief and remorse over the passing […]
In the aftermath of Wednesday’s killing of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, there has been an endless stream of irresponsible chatter online (and at Fox News) about “political violence” and the United States reaching a “turning point” on the issue — including some disturbing suggestions […]
When President Trump announced last week (again) that he was moving Space Command headquarters from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, Colorado’s entire Congressional delegation responded in rare agreement on a joint statement condemning the decision and promising that the HQ location fight wasn’t finished. Here’s what that statement from September […]
As you may have read in today’s news, far-right Republican Barb Kirkmeyer just launched a campaign to be governor of Colorado in 2026. Kirkmeyer’s campaign is widely considered to be a longshot in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in over two decades. Just like countless Colorado Republicans who have come before Barb […]
“Whenever a fellow tells me he’s bipartisan, I know he’s going to vote against me.” –Harry S Truman
“When people conclude that all is futile, then the absurd becomes the norm.” –Stanley Crouch
In less than eight months, President Trump has driven a strong American economy right off of a cliff thanks mostly to his unpredictable, nonsensical, and probably illegal tariff policies. Unemployment numbers are at their highest levels in more than four years — in June, the United States saw its first month of job losses since […]
(Very fine Libertarians — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Leaders of the Colorado Republican and Libertarian parties held a joint public discussion on the Twitter Spaces platform last week. Billed as a “Special Session Recap,” the online event drew a few hundred listeners curious to hear the state chairs […]
