A report from medical industry publication mHealth Intelligence discusses a new monkeywrench being thrown by Republicans into the gears of women’s reproductive rights–a ban on “telemedicine” physician appointments to prescribe abortion medications: A Congressman from Texas is seeking to make telemedicine abortions all but illegal in the US. Rep. Ron Wright’s new bill, HR 4395, […]

Last week we took note of a new poll from Quinnipiac University showing that the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination in Iowa appears to be centering on four candidates: Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg. According to new polling results out today from Quinnipiac, the battle for New Hampshire looks much […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Pols readers might be interested in the post, below, by Kery Murakami, which appeared in the Colorado Times Recorder Friday. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has been talking up Colorado’s new reinsurance plan, which is expected to lower health insurance premiums for individuals next year by almost a fifth. He’s also been taking […]
CBS4 Denver reports, as of this moment we still don’t technically know the winner of the extremely close race to be the next Mayor of the city of Aurora, coming down to just a few hundred votes with lots of procedural finger-pointing–and enough ballots waiting to be “cured” to at least hypothetically swing a race […]
We ran across an interesting story in Politico today detailing a somewhat-unconventional communications strategy being employed by the campaign of Democratic Presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren. In short, Warren’s campaign is making a conscious decision to disengage from the standard practice of returning fire on all fronts: Her surrogates and campaign aides aren’t going on cable TV […]
It was two weeks ago that Republican Members of Congress stormed a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the basement of the Capitol in order to highlight their protest that impeachment investigations were unjust because hearings were held behind closed doors (nevermind that Republican members of these particular House committees were always able to attend […]

WINNERS Mayors Incumbent mayoral candidates won re-election in several cities, including Lakewood, Arvada, Longmont, and Greeley. Voters in Broomfield also welcomed back former Mayor Pat Quinn. Incumbent victories might have more to do […]

(Just tap into that secret stash of gold bars in the Capitol basement! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Throughout their successful campaign to defeat Propostion CC, opponents of the ballot measure argued that the state of Colorado doesn’t need more money. It just needs to change its budget priorities. But how? “I’m not going to […]
Quinnipiac University released a new poll this afternoon on the Democratic race for President in Iowa. It’s gonna be a wild couple of months: …the Democratic race for president in Iowa is wide open, as the top 4 candidates are in a close contest, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll released today. Senator Elizabeth […]
President Trump infamously said that his base was so loyal that he “could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue” in New York City and not lose any support. Last month, one of Trump’s attorneys made an honest-to-goodness real legal argument that Trump could indeed shoot someone and not be prosecuted, but would his supporters really stick with […]

UPDATE: While we wait to hear from Sen. Cory Gardner on the Paris Agreement, here’s a clip from a few years ago of Gardner positively going off at the Steamboat Institute over the liberal “war on coal.” Doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, does it? —– Michael Karlik of the Colorado Springs Gazette: On Monday, […]

UPDATE: The Denver Post’s Saja Hindi: Richard Holzer allegedly met undercover agents Friday at a motel with plans to ignite explosives at Temple Emanuel in the wee hours of the morning. The undercover agents brought two pipe bombs and 14 sticks of dynamite that Holzer intended to use on the synagogue. He brought a knife, […]
(Better have been one hell of a sandwich! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner is set to attend a “Save the Senate Retreat” in Washington D.C. Thursday at the Trump Hotel, featuring the president himself, Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and others. But it looks like Thursday won’t be the first time […]
Activists with the progressive Colorado Consumer Protection Coalition want to wipe away “unfair terms in contracts that remove everyday Coloradans’ ability to hold [corporations] responsible for everything from sexual harassment in the workplace to abuse and neglect in nursing homes.” But how to do this? On Halloween, how about dressing as a roll of toilet […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner joined fellow Republicans Wednesday in voting to maintain a Trump rule that encourages states to allow the sale of so-called “junk” health insurance that wouldn’t cover people with pre-existing conditions. Gardner’s ‘no’ vote on the resolution was expected, in part because he’s already stood multiple times against […]
UPDATE: As they say, a hundred thousand reasons: Update: trump impeachment-focused $ push raised over $100k apiece for Tillis, Gardner, Ernst https://t.co/LXEcCdnObC — Alex Isenstadt (@politicoalex) November 1, 2019 —– Newsweek reports on the fallout from yesterday’s big story covered in this space, fundraising by President Donald Trump on behalf of vulnerable Republican incumbent Senators […]
On Thursday the House of Representatives voted along party lines to formalize the process for impeachment proceedings against President Trump. For weeks Republicans have railed against Democrats for not opening a “formal” impeachment inquiry — it was easier for Republicans to attack the process than to defend Trump on the merits of his actions — […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A new tracking poll shows both an increase in enthusiasm for voting among Coloradan Latinos and a distinct preference for presumed Democratic senate candidate John Hickenlooper over incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner. When Equis Research polled Colorado Latinos over the summer, it was clear Cory Gardner had a lot of work […]
As Politico reports, yesterday was another day of damning testimony against President Donald Trump in the ongoing House impeachment inquiry, with a decorated veteran National Security Council staffer testifying that the transcript Trump dubiously relies on to proclaim his innocence has itself been compromised: A senior White House official told House impeachment investigators on Tuesday […]
UPDATE: Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette: [Sen. Cory] Gardner hasn’t signed on to a bill sponsored by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, both Colorado Democrats, dubbed the Colorado Outdoor Recreation & Economy Act, or the CORE Act — but he hasn’t said he’s opposed to the legislation, either… “Coloradans […]
