As 9NEWS’ Marissa Solomon reports, the defamation case against sometimes-local election conspiracy theorist Joe “America’s Hangman” Oltmann brought by Eric Coomer formerly with Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems is grinding closer to the day when it finally appears Oltmann will have to admit, after years of blowharding to the contrary, that he fabricated the story of […]
It started with a rally in late July by Venezuelan metro area residents protesting against the fraudulent re-election of that country’s Nicholas Maduro, an event that was impulsively and wrongly condemned by Republicans on the Aurora City Council who should have been on the same side of opposing a socialist dictator but instead gave in […]

The wicked witch is dead. Both of them. As the Colorado Secretary of State’s office announced via press release this morning: Proponents of Proposed Initiative #50, “Voter Approval to Retain Additional Property Tax Revenue,” and Proposed Initiative #108, “Valuation for Assessments,” have withdrawn those measures from the 2024 General Election ballot. As a result, those […]
Yesterday, quasi-incumbent carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert faced off against her Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese in a debate hosted by the Douglas County Economic Development Corporation and the conservative-leaning Colorado Springs Gazette. As we discussed last week, this debate was not broadcast on television and was not open to the public, severely limiting its value to […]
Jesse Paul and Brian Eason of the Colorado Sun report today on the aftermath of last week’s special session of the Colorado General Assembly, called by Gov. Jared Polis to pass legislation on property taxes intended to mollify backers of a pair of highly irresponsible ballot measures that would have, if passed, posed a serious […]
It’s no secret that the issue of abortion rights has been a primary driver for voters since the June 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade that removed federal protections for reproductive health care for women. In every state that has held a vote on abortion rights since the 2022 SCOTUS decision — red […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark tracked down the maker of the racist signs that popped up on East Colfax yesterday morning, and it’s a well-known far-right “street artist” with a long list of similar campaigns in other cities, including a similar sign posted outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week: A Republican activist […]
After winning the Republican primary to take over Ken Buck’s deep-red conservative congressional seat, Rep. Lauren Boebert has been on carpetbagging cruise control, spending more time helping her friends like Rep. Matt Gaetz keep their seats than campaigning for her own election. Boebert’s Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese, who bested a troubled perennial candidate for the […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports this Saturday evening, a hard-won meeting of Colorado Republican Party Central Committee members for the purpose of voting out the current executive leadership of the party starting with chairman and twice-failed congressional candidate Dave “Need A New Nickname, Brandon” Williams took place at a church in Brighton today, and those […]
AP reports from the Sunshine State, where the petty culture-war persecution of LGBTQ+ people by the state’s belligerently conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken another small-minded turn, and this time could cost the state millions in tourism revenue: Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors and St. Petersburg are among several Florida cities that have long […]
Vice President Kamala Harris closed out the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday evening with a rousing speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President and kicking off the last two month scramble toward Election Day. Thursday’s speaker lineup also included two Colorado elected officials: Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Aurora). Governor […]
Colorado state Rep. Brandi Bradley, now doing double culture-war duty as the leader of the brand-new Douglas County chapter of Moms For Liberty (yes, those Moms For Liberty), has been on the clamorous frontlines of every conceivable wedge issue during her relatively short time in office, earning her a spot in the Colorado House Republican […]
(Worse than you thought — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder On the campaign trail, congressional candidate Gabe Evans talks a lot about his experience in the military, police force, and Colorado Legislature. But what you don’t hear him discuss in any detail – and what’s completely absent […]
Readers may recall back in 2020 when a Republican candidate for House District 34, Mark Bromley, was effectively disowned by the district Republican party after getting in a public spat with a homeschool parent. Bromley went on to lose this competitive House race to the incumbent Rep. Kyle Mullica, who was in turn succeeded by […]
The Colorado Republican Party has been getting a lot of terrible press coverage lately for sending emails in support of various state legislative candidates that contain flat-out disgusting rhetoric and ridiculous accusations. Those emails have been so bad, in fact, that Republican candidates intended to benefit from them are speaking out in condemnation instead. For […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, state Sen. Mark Baisley (R-Roxborough Park) claimed in a Facebook post that recent images of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign rallies were “AI generated.” Baisley posited that these videos violate Colorado’s Candidate Election Deepfake Disclosures Act, and should be reported to Colorado Secretary of […]
As we noted last week, convicted ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is in what can be best described as a state of wholesale denial after being found guilty one week ago today on 7 of 10 counts related to her plot to allow unauthorized conspirators access to Dominion Voting Systems equipment in a failed attempt […]
CBS News‘ James LaPorte reports on comments from ex-President Donald Trump last Thursday that have outraged veterans and sent Trump’s cable news surrogates scrambling for acceptable explanations–certainly not the first time that Trump has bizarrely disparaged Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the nation, but in clear terms that make […]
UPDATE: An eagle-eyed reader pointed out that the statue featured prominently in the “Second Amendment Caucus” logo is no longer in that spot in front of the State Capitol. That statue, which depicted a Civil War soldier who was part of the First Colorado Cavalry unit that took part in the infamous “Sand Creek Massacre,” […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s official, Colorado lawmakers are headed back to class along with the kids later this August, with the goal of saving the state’s schools and local governments from the threat of two ill-advised far-right ballot measures: Colorado Public Radio reports Gov. Jared Polis won’t be signing any compromise without confirmation that controversial Initiatives […]
As Hannah Metzger reports for Westword, former Centennial Institute director turned right-wing radio host Jeff Hunt has struck a blow for political expression inside the Colorado Capitol building, forcing a rule change to allow spectators in the House and Senate galleries to wear their viewpoint on their literal sleeves: Seventeen months after Jeff Hunt was […]
We’ve been discussing in this space what it means when Republican politicians try to couch their positions on abortion rights by saying that such decisions should be left “up to the states.” For Republicans such as Presidential nominee Donald Trump and Gabe-ish Evans [pictured], a candidate for Congress in CO-08, this is a way of […]
Sometimes, to paraphrase the old saying, the content writes itself–like this announcement for a “garden party pot luck meet and greet” event for Rep. Lauren Boebert coming up early next month at the no-doubt lovely home of Evelyn Zur at Parker’s swank Pinery Country Club: It looks to us like this could be a photo […]
