As AP’s Lisa Mascaro reports via the Colorado Sun, GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson appears to have succeeded in his quest to keep the U.S. House as unaccomodating for babies and their companion adults in office as possible, shutting down the discharge petition from Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida to force a vote […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder When Steve Bannon took the stage to raucous applause at last Friday’s fundraising gala for the Colorado Republican Party, he wasn’t just the keynote speaker, he was also the third convicted felon to address the crowd. The lineup began with a jailhouse call from […]
When we heard that Trump was unhappy with his portrait at the Colorado Capitol, we knew exactly what to do. Following the removal last week on President Donald Trump’s demand of his portrait in the Colorado Capitol’s presidential portrait gallery, ProgressNow Colorado has once again risen to the occasion with a replacement we believe Trump […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports, a red-on-red “personality conflict” originating with one of the Colorado House Republican minority’s biggest…personalities is hampering the work of a key House committee, as a freshman Republican who is supposed to be serving on the House Health and Human Services Committee has been repeatedly substituted to appease the […]
As the Salt Lake Tribune reports, this week our conservative western neighbors led by the Beehive State’s congenial Republican Gov. Spencer Cox quietly made a big change to their election system, against the overwhelming popular support for mail ballots but in keeping with the desire of President Donald Trump to do away with a form […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is turning up the heat on Speaker Mike Johnson over alleged bribes and threats to persuade her to abandon her discharge petition on proxy voting. NPR reports: Florida Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is accusing leaders from her own party of threatening and bribing other lawmakers to block […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) questioned the affordability and reliability of different types of energy in a congressional hearing on Tuesday. Evans “Can you just speak to the complexities of managing the grid and understanding that not all power is created […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Over 300 people packed into an Adams County church Saturday afternoon for a town hall meeting for residents from the 8th Congressional District. Attendees were largely local, though some came from Weld and Larimer counties as well; a few even drove down from Greeley. […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post reports that the five-year-old portrait of President Donald Trump at the Colorado Capitol is coming down after Trump expressed displeasure over his soft, pasty, flat-combover appearance: The General Assembly’s executive committee — composed of legislative leadership from both parties — signed a joint directive to legislative staff Monday afternoon to remove […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder The Trump Administration has made sweeping changes to American public policy over its first two months, from shuttering the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to downsizing the Department of Agriculture (USDA), and instigating a trade war with Canada, Mexico, China, and other […]
UPDATE: Colorado’s other U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper sounds more conciliatory about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s future, via Axios: “I think it’s time for Democrats to stop pointing fingers at each other and doing the circular firing squad,” Hickenlooper told us when pressed about whether he would support a leadership change. This too is a […]
The Colorado Republican Party is such a cartoonish disaster that it would need to undergo a deep cleaning just to be able to call itself a “mess.” It’s no wonder that the GOP is having a hard time finding a venue willing to get in the mud along with the rest of the party faithful. […]

THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s Bernie Sanders vs. Lori Saine as the always-cantankerous candidate for Colorado GOP chair organizes counter-protests for each of Sanders’ stops in Greeley and Denver: We hope both sides keep it neighborly. —– Denverite’s Kyle Harris reports on a big upcoming weekend for pressing the political flesh, with perhaps the largest crowd expected […]
When the 2026 General Election comes around, it will mark 12 years since the last time that a Colorado Republican was elected to a major statewide office (Republican Heidi Ganahl won a statewide race for CU Regent in 2016, but that doesn’t fit under our definition of “major”). That drought is not likely to end […]
Longtime political reporter Shaun Boyd at Denver’s CBS affiliate KCNC Channel 4 has a well-earned reputation as the go-to correspondent for Republicans looking for sympathetic, or failing that at least what they consider to be “fair” coverage, compared to other local news outlets that they (like Donald Trump) consider to be “enemies of the people.” […]
We woke up this morning to news that a well-known local immigrant rights activist, named by TIME Magazine as one of America’s 100 most influential figures when she first made headlines early in Donald Trump’s first administration, has been arrested by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Aurora–reportedly acting without a deportation order. […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Nathan Deal reports, Colorado Mesa University, which in addition to being Grand Junction’s finest institution of higher learning has also long served as a job placement service for Republican operatives including the school’s president John Marshall, is hosting in the interest of the 2025 definition of “diversity” one of America’s […]

We wrote yesterday about freshman GOP Rep. Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd’s switch from in-person meetings with constituents to telephone town halls, following an incident last month in which Hurd’s Southwest regional staffer fled the scene of a library town hall after blanching at the size of the gathered crowd. On Tuesday evening, Rep. Hurd conducted […]
Since winning the congressional seat vacated by exited-stage-left Rep. Lauren Boebert last November, freshman Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd has been a little more difficult to pin down politically than his predecessor, thoughtfully dissenting over President Donald Trump’s pardoning of January 6th insurrectionists and more recently co-sponsoring legislation intended to offer some measure of protection for […]
The names may change, but the votes stay the same. In year after year, on one piece of legislation after another, Colorado Republicans have gone out of their way to oppose legislation that would benefit Colorado families. Fortunately, a Democratic trifecta in state government has ensured that these pro-family proposals eventually make it into law […]
Way back in June 2017, then-Sen. Cory Gardner made an unannounced tour of several Asian countries as part of an effort to boost his international relations bonafides so that he could eventually be a candidate for Secretary of State or President of the United States. That tour included a boneheaded photograph with murderous dictator Rodrigo […]
Colorado Republicans will choose a new State Party Chair on March 29 when they meet in Castle Rock. While current Chair Dave Williams isn’t seeking another term (as Colorado Pols first reported earlier this year, Williams is waiting on a job in the Trump administration), the Williams banner is still being carried by the GOP’s […]
Reuters reports via USA TODAY that massive job reductions at the Department of Veterans Affairs as part of the Trump 2.0/Musk administration’s gutting-in-force of the federal workforce, far beyond the elimination of some 1,000 probationary VA employees and other examples of what human resource bean-counters call “low-hanging fruit” that already took place last month, will […]
