As Brett Forrest reports for Denver7, Republican Teller County Commissioner Dan Williams is sounding the alarm after getting bad news from U.S. Forest Service officials about massive reductions in force that could result in a disastrous shortage of resources to respond to wildfires across the nation already springing up after another dry winter: Williams, who […]
Former CO-04 Republican candidate Trent Leisy, who bills himself as the “MAGA King” on the strength of a photo he once managed to snap with the real MAGA King, is back after pulling out of the race to replace former Rep. Ken Buck later won by carpetbagging sensation Rep. Lauren Boebert, and throwing in his […]
As KTLA-5 Los Angeles reports, it’s the feel-good local politics story of the week: A Southern California mayor facing a recall effort is coming under fire after his suggestion to ending his city’s homelessness issue was “giving them all the fentanyl they want.” The comments were made by longtime Lancaster Mayor Rex Parris during a […]
Reading today’s Unaffiliated newsletter from the Colorado Sun, we were briefly excited by a teaser promising after some scrolling to reveal “Gabe Evans’ one critique of Trump’s presidency.” Since GOP freshman Rep. Gabe Evans has established himself as Donald Trump’s most unflappable brown-nosing apologist west of Lauren Boebert herself, Evans putting even the slightest criticism […]
As Jason Blevins reports today for The Colorado Sun, Coloradans are growing increasingly concerned about reductions in funding for public lands in our state: Senator John Hickenlooper is hearing a lot of frustration and anger as he tours the state this week. He’s telling people to organize and gather stories that reflect how public lands […]
As Lindsey Toomer reports for Colorado Newsline, the politically fraught years-long struggle over the permanent home of the U.S. Space Command, currently based at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs but threatened with being uprooted and moved to Alabama as a reward for the political loyalty of the state’s elected officials to Donald Trump, […]
(Perhaps not mutually exclusive — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, the United States House of Representatives voted in favor of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a controversial bill requiring all Americans to provide documentation of their citizenship status for both registering and voting. Although it is […]
Axios’ Andrew Solender reports today on major dissent building among U.S. House Republicans with a residual conscience, or failing that at least an instinct for self-preservation, against expected sweeping cuts to Medicaid as part of the “Big Beautiful Bill” being authored to enact President Donald Trump’s bulldozing fiscal agenda: A dozen swing-district and centrist House […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, narrowly defeated former Rep. Yadira Caraveo is coming back for a rematch against vulnerable incumbent Rep. Gabe Evans in Colorado’s ultra-competitive CO-08 race, where hard questions about Caraveo’s record in Congress and, regrettably but inevitably, her personal struggle with mental illness while in office during her first term […]
Republicans have always fancied themselves as the more effective of the two major political parties when it comes to managing economic policies. For whatever reason, voters have largely bought into that narrative. But President Trump’s reckless Tariff War and the economic uncertainty created by his on/off/on/off impulsiveness are doing more than destroying consumer confidence and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Real estate developer and former GOP state Senate candidate Tim Walsh is in line for a new gig: overseeing the clean-up of America’s nuclear bomb waste. Trump nominated Walsh, who has donated over $2.5 million to Republican candidates and conservative causes since 2022, to […]
As FOX 31’s Gabrielle Franklin reports, residents of freshman GOP Rep. Gabe Evans‘ district are preparing more “People’s Town Halls” for the weekend after Easter to lodge their complaints over Evans’ votes in favor of and general canine loyalty to President Donald Trump as Trump’s reign of dictatorial destruction passes the three-month mark. Although these […]
Colorado’s eighth congressional district is the very definition of a toss-up race. In 2024, Republican Gabe Evans defeated Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo by less than one percentage point (49.0 – 48.2). National Democrats almost immediately declared CO-08 as a top pickup opportunity for 2026, when Republicans are expected to be heavy underdogs to maintain majority […]
President Trump underwent the first known physical examination of his second term last week. As you might expect, Trump got a glowing bill of health from the White House “doctor.” As BBC explains without cracking a smile: As a part of Friday’s nearly five-hour medical examination at the Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, Trump […]
Hi there. I’m a mom of two amazing kids. Like any parent, I worry about what they see online, who they’re talking to, and how technology is shaping their world. So, when I first heard about Colorado’s SB25-086—marketed as a way to “protect kids online”—I thought, great! Finally, someone’s taking steps to keep children safe. […]
“All things can corrupt when minds are prone to evil.” –Ovid
Yesterday afternoon, Gov. Jared Polis signed what will go down as one of the most noteworthy pieces of legislation of the 2025 session, a bill that establishes new education requirements for the purchase of certain semiautomatic firearms like the AR-15 class of “assault weapons” used in some of the deadliest mass shootings in recent American […]
Senator Michael Bennet today kicked off his campaign for Governor in 2026, revealing what we have said was the “least-kept secret” in Colorado politics over the last six weeks. As Jesse Paul reports for The Colorado Sun, Bennet launched his 2026 campaign with a slew of big-name endorsements — including Reps. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) and […]
Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) is expected to formally announce on Friday what has been the least-kept secret in Colorado politics for the last month: He is running for Governor in 2026. Bennet’s gubernatorial plans have been widely discussed in political circles for weeks;. We’ve been listing his name atop The Big Line since news […]
There is a remarkable video clip making the rounds on social media today of President Trump asking and answering the question that has been on every American’s mind for months: How could you be THIS STUPID and still end up as President of the United States? Here’s President Trump in his own words on Wednesday, […]
UPDATE: Mystery solved! Former DougCo commissioner Lora Thomas is running for a seat on the Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors. Thomas’ committee registration form was filed with the Secretary of State yesterday. And the knives are already out. —– Few contemporary tales of intra-Republican infighting quite match the last few years in Colorado’s […]
UPDATE: Via David A. Graham of The Atlantic, this is even more confounding than you thought: This afternoon, President Donald Trump announced a partial pivot on social media. On the one hand, he ratcheted up tariffs on China to 125 percent. On the other hand, he announced that he was reducing tariffs on “more than […]
Yesterday, the U.S. House debated but then postponed a vote on a bill known as the No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA), sponsored by California’s Rep. Darrel Issa in response to numerous adversarial judicial rulings since Donald Trump retook office in January that have significantly slowed Trump’s controversial agenda. FOX News touted the measure yesterday: The […]
Republicans control the White House, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives. Here in Colorado, Republicans haven’t won a statewide election since 2014 (unless you count Heidi Ganahl winning a CU Regent race in 2016…which we don’t) and have been exiled to micro minority status in the state legislature. Yet somehow Colorado Republicans […]
As Kathryn Squyres reports for the Durango Herald, Rep. Jeff Hurd of Grand Junction is once again breaking with the Trump administration on a high-profile policy matter, this time joining the growing chorus of Republican resistance to President Donald Trump’s sweeping “Liquidation Day” tariffs which have erased trillions of dollars of value from global markets […]
