House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given in to the crazies in the Republican caucus and agreed to move forward with an impeachment investigation into President Biden. This impeachment effort will be much different than either of the impeachment investigations into former President Donald Trump in large part because it’s not actually clear what Biden might have […]
As the legal campaign seeking accountability over the attempt by ex-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 presidential election has advanced to the criminal justice phase in the last few months, we’ve spent most of our time in this space discussing two lawyers with local ties involved in the plot who are now facing felony […]
Early in the summer, Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams announced that he had formed an alliance of some sort between the Colorado GOP and the Colorado Libertarian Party (LPCO). Nearly four months later, the results of this alliance have proven to be a bit elusive. The stated goal — from Williams’s point of view, […]
In the twenty years since ProgressNow Colorado was originally organized as the Rocky Mountain Progressive Network, our state has witnessed an historic shift away from the far-right special interests that previously dominated the debate on every issue. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of Colorado’s largest multi-issue progressive advocacy organization, ProgressNow Colorado is […]
President Biden issued a A Proclamation on Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance for today, marking the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Governor Jared Polis ordered all flags to be lowered to half-staff today in memoriam of those who lost their lives that day. Let’s Get More Smarter. If you think we […]
New polling data from CNN/SSRS was released on Thursday that made headlines largely because it showed significant vulnerabilities for President Biden, including a topline finding that Biden and former President Donald Trump are running neck-and-neck in a hypothetical 2024 rematch. Analysis from ABC News, for example, exclaimed that CNN’s new polling was “nothing but bad […]
Earlier this week, GOP Rep. Ken Buck set off a political firestorm when he responded in smackdown-laying detail to a falsehood-ridden letter sent from the Colorado Republican Party urging lawmakers to make the plight of January 6th, 2021 insurrection “political prisoners” a “top priority.” The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain: Buck, a former chair of the […]
(There is no Colorado GOP anymore, it’s the Dave Williams Club now — Promoted by Colorado Pols) If Colorado GOP leaders get their way, the party could campaign against some of its own candidates in next spring’s primary election. The party’s Bylaws Committee is recommending an amendment that would alter the longstanding primary neutrality rule […]

As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, freshman Republican state Rep. Gabe Evans of Fort Lupton is the latest to throw his hat in the ring to challenge incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in Colorado’s ultra-swing CD-8–hoping in the process that his hat doesn’t immediately get shredded by the Colorado Republican Party’s recent lurch to […]
(Updated Tuesday with must-read response from Rep. Ken Buck — Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Congressman Ken Buck has responded to Todd Watkins’ call for Colorado Republicans to support the Jan. 6 prisoners. In a letter of his own dated Sept. 1, Buck points out multiple incorrect assertions and calls on Watkins to […]
Readers will recall a brief but heated dispute in Pueblo last November over a proposed municipal ordinance to ban abortion within city limits, the work product of an itinerant Texas-based anti-abortion pitchman named Mark Lee Dickson. Dickson, a self-professed “36-year-old virgin” who proudly admits to having been present at the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at […]
Democrats have concluded the first step in the necessary seat shifting and vacancy committee requirements set in motion by the early August resignation of Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, who left his job at the state legislature in order to take a position as Deputy Chief of Staff in Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration. At […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, most of Colorado’s congressional delegation representing both parties signed a letter to the Internal Revenue Service this week, asking as they did last year during a similar brief period of uncertainty to not treat refunds to taxpayers under Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights as […]
NBC News reports today that Never Back Down, the SuperPAC working on behalf of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ flagging presidential campaign is, well, backing down from field campaign efforts in several key Super Tuesday primary states: Never Back Down, the super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, has ceased its door-knocking operations in […]
Following up on last weekend’s anti-LGBTQ+ counterprotest both outside and confrontationally within the Douglas County PrideFest, 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark reports that an organization known as Able Shepherd, which bills itself as a “progressive tactical training program,” played a large role in organizing the disruptive protest inside the event. As a result, this organization with surprisingly […]
UPDATE: As Erik Maulbetsch reports for the Colorado Times Recorder, the Colorado Republican Party is pushing its people to sign a pledge in support of the “January 6 prisoners.” Trump’s message has definitely been received. —– [mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“These are incredible Colorado patriots, that’s for sure.” — Donald Trump in a video naming El […]
As former President Donald Trump and his 18 alleged co-conspirators in the plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia turned themselves in for booking last week at Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail, Colorado’s arch-conservative Freedom Caucus member Rep. Ken Buck appeared Thursday on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell to…it’s not a misprint, […]
“When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.” –Henry J. Kaiser
A trip into the fever swamps of conservative conspiracy theorizing can be entertaining as long as you leave a few reality-based breadcrumbs to find your way back. One currently circulating tall tale on conservative social media concerns a “Chinese COVID bioweapons lab” allegedly uncovered in central California. Local media doesn’t appear to have helped the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dan Caplis is a serious lawyer, or so he says. So serious, in fact, that he’s trademarked the phrase, “a serious firm for serious cases.” Jenna Ellis is not a serious lawyer, but she has been charged with serious crimes. She also admitted, in her formal censure by Colorado’s Office of […]
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman used the occasion of a Friday news dump to announce that his politically-disastrous proposal to turn Aurora into a “strong mayor” city was being dropped on account of the fact that it was killing his chances of being re-elected in November. Okay, that’s not what Coffman said exactly, but it’s not […]
Members of Congress are out of Washington for the August recess, but as the Washington Post reported Wednesday, a daunting pile of unfinished business awaits to be worked out when members return next month–and the narrow GOP House majority is divided on whether to govern like grownups, or once again force the nation down the […]
Last night, a group of would-be Republican presidential candidates held a debate in Milwaukee, an event most notable for the absence of the far-and-away frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination ex-President Donald Trump. The eight candidates who appeared are all mired in a single-digit pack after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failure to thrive, with at […]
NBC News reports from Milwaukee, the site of tonight’s Republican vice presidential debate, where Republican dark horse candidate Gov.
