As we noted a few months ago, President Trump somehow finally noticed that he has a portrait hanging in the State Capitol — a likeness that does not please his Orangeness — and this non-controversy has generated new questions about why we hang pictures of Presidents in a state capitol in general. As The Colorado […]
It’s a maneuver beloved by shifty politicians and others looking for a quick way out of unpleasant interactions with bill collectors, small talk with in-laws, and other such dodgeable moments–and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) this week caught America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans red-handed pulling the “fake phone call” trick to avoid […]

Just before Memorial Day weekend, we took note of an order from Donald Trump’s new Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, directing national parks and monuments to remove interpretive signage and other materials that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.” This order affects parks and historic sites related to slavery, the Civil War, wars against […]
There are many environmental and public lands decisions made by a particular Congress or a Presidential administration that can be reversed or rolled back by a subsequent change in leadership. One administration may open up oil and gas drilling in a particular area, for example, while the next might decide to change those permissions. That’s […]
Two new polls released this week in the 2026 Democratic primary races for governor and attorney general from Global Strategy Group each show exactly what we would expect: the candidates with the highest name recognition among likely primary voters with strong leads in their respective races. The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports on the gubernatorial […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann and Nick Coltrain report, get ready for a new MyPillow discount code: INEEDTWOMILLIONBUCKS. Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and one of the most prominent conspiracy theorists about the 2020 presidential election, defamed a former Dominion Voting Systems director when he called him “treasonous,” a Colorado jury found Monday.

Democratic Members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation strongly condemned Thursday’s unprecedented action in Los Angeles in which a sitting U.S. Senator (Sen. Alex Padilla) was forcibly removed from a press conference being held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Republicans in Colorado’s delegation were decidedly less concerned. Thanks to Colorado Public Radio and social media, […]
Republicans in Colorado and across the country have long claimed to be strident supporters of the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution. You know the one: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. […]
As Denver7’s Brandon Richard reports, the Trump-addled Justice Department under Pam Bondi has issued a highly unusual and expansive request for elections data from Colorado on the last two presidential elections in 2020 and 2024, reportedly in reponse to a “complaint” made to the Department from (we assume) one of the many kooks and conspiracy […]
UPDATE: Rep. Jason Crow responds: When a U.S. Senator gets thrown to the ground, manhandled, and handcuffed for doing their job, ask yourself—how will they treat you & your family? This type of stuff happens in dictatorships, not democracies. Donald Trump wants total control. But we will not be intimidated. https://t.co/GDVnWfQ3uF — Rep. Jason Crow […]
Freshman Republican Rep. Gabe Evans campaigned for office in full agreement with Donald Trump’s promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the country, subsidizing Trump’s wildly exaggerated claims that the city of Aurora had been “overrun” by migrant gangs and appearing with Trump at his rally last October near Denver International Airport promised that […]

Following the antisemitic terror attack in Boulder just over a week ago that injured 15 people at a march in support of Jewish hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, local Republicans led by freshman Rep. Gabe Evans rushed to lay blame for the attack on Colorado’s so-called “sanctuary state” policies, despite the fact that the […]
Republican Rep. Gabe Evans of Ft. Lupton has gone from State Representative to Member of Congress to a walking punchline over the course of the last 12 months. For all of the career changes Evans has undergone in the last year, he’s going to have a hard time shaking his new clownish reputation. Here’s how […]
After easily the most controversial and internally divisive two-year term as chairman of the Colorado Republican Party in recent history, former state Rep. Dave Williams announced in February that he would not seek a second term, which was widely speculated to indicate a patronage appointment to a federal job in the Trump administration was in […]
While you were watching the immigration protests in Los Angeles that are now spreading to other cities — including Denver — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr was dismantling an important vaccine advisory committee in an unprecedented move. We’ll get to the local angle in a moment, but first here’s The Washington […]
Just over a week ago, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans held a press conference on the West Steps of the Colorado Capitol with lightning rod Rep. Lauren Boebert to tout the virtues of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” which we’ve followed Sen. Joni Ernst’s lead in renaming the “We’re All Going To Die […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Yesterday the Trump administration made being pregnant in America more dangerous, but thanks to a new state law that anticipated this action, Coloradans who need emergency abortion care are still protected. Ia press release the Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell got rich thanks in large part to his big personality and his brash salesmanship — every sale is the “deal of century!” He’s in a Denver courtroom this week, not because he still believes the 2020 election was stolen, but because while hyperbolic claims about pillow […]
News was still trickling out about the firebombing attack in Boulder last weekend when right-wing talking heads and Republican elected officials started screaming about their belief that Colorado’s immigration laws were responsible for a horrific act that injured at least 12 people. In recent days, Aurora City Council person Danielle Jurinsky called out several elected […]
As Nick Coltrain reports for The Denver Post, the field of Democratic candidates hoping to get a shot at incumbent Republican Rep. Gabe Evans in 2026 continues to grow: Colorado Treasurer Dave Young is joining the increasingly crowded Democratic primary for the 8th Congressional District. Young, a Greeley Democrat, is a former member of the […]
After months of pre-trial wrangling as eminent election denier Mike “MyPillow Guy” Lindell tried everything to forestall accountability in court, the defamation case from former Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer against Lindell finally got underway this week, with yesterday seeing the opening testimony from Coomer explaining why he suit against Lindell is necessary for […]
