Watching the impeachment hearings on CNN I just saw Rep. Swalwell ask to have a report from the Daily Beast linking Devin Nunes to indicted conspirator Lev Parnas — be sworn into the public record as part of the Impeachment hearings.

A press release from Secretary of State Jena Griswold this afternoon: Today, twenty-two states signed on to an amicus brief that underlines the urgency in Colorado’s petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review an unprecedented decision issued in August in Baca v.

If you were the betting type, you wouldn’t likely put a lot of money on the likelihood that State Senator Angela Williams (D-Denver) will be the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in June 2020. Williams entered the race for U.S. Senate in July with a sketchy announcement video and little fanfare; after four months as […]

Filed earlier this month, and the word we’re hearing is it’s for real: Readers will remember former Rep.

Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) isn’t a member of the House Intelligence Committee (in any sense of the phrase) that is currently overseeing public impeachment hearings against President Trump, but that doesn’t mean he can’t try to advance his own ridiculous theory on the matter. David Corn of Mother Jones and MSNBC apparently found Lamborn talking […]
(Representing – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A records request reveals that U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) or his staff apparently didn’t correspond with leaders of the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs during the six months prior to the U.S. Military’s decision in September to take $9 million from Peterson’s 2018 construction budget and […]

Taylor, Jr. and George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary at the State Department, testified for hours in front of members of the House Intelligence Committee. […]
It’s been a big week of political news on the subject of gun control in Colorado, with two related storylines converging into what we expect will be the next big flashpoint in the 2020 session of the Colorado General Assembly–a renewed battle over the state’s 15-round limit on firearm magazine capacity, passed in 2013 in […]
(Says a guy who claims to have punched a bear — Promoted by Colorado Pols) On Facebook this week, two former Republican state legislators were among a group of conservatives who shared a fake news item with the headline, “NASA admits that climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, and NOT because […]
In the 24 hours since petitions were submitted in support of Initiative 76, a constitutional amendment to duplicatively restate that voting rights in Colorado are restricted to U.S. citizens only–which the constitution already prescribes and is already followed in practice throughout the state with zero exceptions we are aware of–proponents have faced a barrage of […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The National Immigration Forum, a national advocacy group, gave Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) a “Courage to Lead Award” Thursday for his work on immigration legislation last year–not for the senator’s overall record on immigration issues.
