Impeachment, Cory Gardner running away from accountability, the failed Republican recalls here in Colorado–and there’s an election a week […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Opponents of Proposition CC are saying the ballot measure would “take away” a property tax exemption for seniors and veterans when, in fact, it would not. Prop CC allows Colorado’s state government to keep already-collected taxes that otherwise would have been refunded under TABOR–and to spend the money on schools and […]
A week after the spectacular failure of the last of the recall campaigns from Colorado Republicans, launched against several individual Democratic legislators and Gov. Jared Polis over the summer, the Denver Post’s Alex Burness circled back with Republican leaders for a post-mortem look at what went wrong–Republicans who were willing to return his calls, that […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Taylor Allen reports from yesterday’s well-deserved “victory lap” press conference by Senate President Leroy Garcia, after the recall campaign against him collapsed in a heap at the end of last week: Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia on Thursday said he’s looking forward to the new legislative session — especially after surviving a […]
(“The high road?” — Promoted by Colorado Pols) At a political moment when even the most somnolent people are wondering why more Republicans aren’t ripping Trump, Colorado Congressman Ken Buck was repeatedly attacked by KNUS host Randy Corporon yesterday for not supporting Trump sufficiently because, among other things, he didn’t cosponsor the resolution censoring Rep. […]
The dust has barely settled on yesterday’s bizarre stunt pulled by some two dozen House Republicans, in which members barged into a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the basement of the Capitol and refused to leave–delaying the testimony of a Defense Department official in the continuing impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump for five […]
♦ Soliciting foreign governments to interfere in our elections: ♦ Comparing impeachment investigations to a “lynching“: ♦ Proposing to build a wall around Colorado: ♦ Taking money from Colorado military projects for border wall funding: ♦ Using the White House for personal financial gain: ♦ Pulling U.S. troops out of Syria, all but handing the region to […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: President Trump insists that his statement about “building a wall in Colorado” was just part of some hilarious joke that everybody else is too stupid to understand. Kids, it’s OK to say, “I misspoke. I made a mistake.” https://t.co/Y5pgaOgI4t — Marshall Zelinger (@Marshall9News) October 24, 2019 —– UPDATE: Governor Jared Polis, for the win: […]
UPDATE #4: This publicity stunt has apparently been on the GOP calendar for at least a week, per CNN. —– UPDATE #3: You knew this was coming: 17 pizzas arrived to serve the GOP mbrs still holed up in the House Intel Cmte, essentially blocking the deposition of Pentagon official Laura Cooper. GOP CO Rep Lamborn […]

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” –Mark Twain
(Like we said, please tell your friends – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, 9News anchor Kyle Clark answered questions from viewers about his station’s story about Proposition CC, which would allow Colorado to keep already-collected taxes that otherwise would have been refunded under TABOR. 9News viewers wanted to know if it were true that, […]

President Trump spent a good chunk of his morning raging about impeachment investigations underway in the House of Representatives, turning the rhetoric up to full “WTF” levels of victimhood: So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due […]

Try to follow the bouncing ball as best you can… Last Thursday the White House announced that the 2020 G7 Conference would be held at a Trump-owned and operated hotel and conference center called the Doral International Resort in Miami, Florida. Two days later, President Trump scrapped that idea amid mounting concerns from many Republicans about the obviously […]
Sen. Cory Gardner is very excited to let you know that he’s dead set against Proposition CC, so much that he wrote a column in the Phil Anschutz-owned Colorado Springs Gazette to tell us all about it: If you oppose more taxes & believe you should have control over your hard-earned dollars then join me […]
Here’s a mail piece that arrived over the weekend urging a “no” vote on Proposition CC, the statewide measure to allow the state to retain taxes collected in excess of the 1992 Taxpayer Bill of Rights’ (TABOR) arbitrary limit on revenue growth–a provision that has made it counterintuitively more difficult for the state to provide […]
(Look at that face – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Over the past week, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has received an avalanche of bad press for his refusal to criticize President Trump over Ukraine. Wednesday afternoon, as Gardner chaired a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations’ East Asia subcommittee, the issue came up again, but this […]
Today is the deadline for Republicans to submit petition signatures to the Secretary of State’s office in their efforts to recall Senate President Leroy Garcia. Organizers of the Garcia recall have hinted that they may actually submit signatures today, rather than just letting the deadline pass with a sheepish admission of failure; given the 2019 […]
If you are like most people, the upcoming election buzz has done nothing but spin your head around as if you were starring in a horror movie of epic proportions. While you may hear from one source that a certain candidate is sure to win, another source may emphatically assure you that someone else is […]

Former Colorado political reporter Eli Stokols, now of the Los Angeles Times, reports: President Trump intends to host next year’s G7 conference at his Doral International Resort in Miami in June, the White House confirmed Thursday, a controversial decision certain to raise conflict of interest questions given the financial benefit to Trump’s business… The idea […]

Colorado Public Radio’s Allison Sherry: State Attorney General Phil Weiser told gun control advocates Tuesday that despite some sheriffs threatening not to enforce the state’s new “red flag” law, he believes they will rethink that decision when faced with the realities of an armed and potentially dangerous person. “It won’t be an abstraction,” Weiser said, […]
