UPDATE #2: Former President Donald Trump confirms via TruthSocial that he has been “indicated.” Remember, Trump doesn’t fix typos, he “covfefes” them! We have to call being indicted “getting indicated” now. We don’t make these rules. —– UPDATE: Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver is understandably stoked: BREAKING: Trump just became the first former U.S. President […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As the Colorado Democrats’ “Safe Access to Protected Health Care” package of legislation moves to House for consideration, Republicans have taken to talk radio to share their views on the proposed bills that target the marketing practices of anti-abortion centers and their use of an unproven pill to reverse an abortion, expand legal […]
Yesterday afternoon, senior White House correspondent for CNN Phil Mattingly recorded a segment with Colorado’s Rep. Ken Buck on the subject of gun control laws generally and the AR-15 rifle in particular–the latter being the overwhelming weapon of choice in American mass shootings, and also a personal trophy hanging on the wall of Rep. […]
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” –Albert Einstein
This evening, Colorado’s premiere election conspiracy theorist and would-be mass political hangman Joe Oltmann is hosting a panel of nether-right election denialists, pastor Matthew Trewhella famous for calling violence against abortion providers “justifiable homicide,” and Colorado Springs mayoral candidate John “Tig” Tiegen to talk about being big bad tough guys who “stand in the gap” against… […]
It has been said that hypocrisy is not a bug, but a feature of the modern Republican Party. We saw it in 2022, when Republicans promoted candidates across the country (Herschel Walker in Georgia, Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania, and even Joe O’Dea in Colorado, to name a few) who expressed ideas that were contradictory to […]
The biggest political news of the last week in Colorado has been the end after weeks of increasing obstruction by the Republican micro-minority in the Colorado House of the Democratic supermajority’s patience–leading to the invoking this past weekend of the body’s longstanding Rule 14 to limit debate on an individual piece of legislation, thus […]
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” –Upton Sinclair
Americans take strong consumer protection laws for granted while they protect the public from fraud, defective goods, and bad service. Much like the work week before unions fought for the weekend, life without consumer protection laws would be bad for everyone. Except ripoff artists. Consumer fraud is a huge problem in Colorado. Colorado ranks 12th […]
Colorado Republicans are apoplectic after Democrats finally got tired of the GOP’s pointless stall tactics over common sense gun safety legislation – just a week after another school shooting in Colorado – and enacted a rule to limit discussion so that the process of legislating could resume. This was the second House Republican “filibluster” of […]
As NBC News reported, not that you can call it a surprise: Members of the House Oversight Committee on Friday toured a Washington, D.C., jail where some Jan. 6 defendants are being held and offered contrasting descriptions of conditions inside the facility. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spearheaded the visit, painted a picture of constitutional […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, there have been two shootings in or near East High School in Denver in less than 40 days, and Colorado Republicans are just flat-out saying that they really don’t care about your feelings on the subject. This is what happens when the people who think more guns […]
As the Denver Post’s Capitol reports Nick Coltrain and Seth Klamann reported yesterday evening, for the second time this legislative session, the students of nearby East High School marched to the Colorado state capitol building to demand in the wake of gun violence on and near their campus that lawmakers pass stronger gun safety measures: […]
(Back to the future — Promoted by Colorado Pols) As the newly elected Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Dave Williams is making the obligatory rounds of the state’s numerous conservative talk radio shows. For the past two weeks, he’s been introducing himself to the party faithful, sharing his vision for revamping the state GOP, […]
The race for Denver Mayor is coming down to its final week, but voters are still holding onto their ballots like a lottery ticket that they aren’t totally sure isn’t a winner. Election Day is April 4, which means the last day to safely drop a completed ballot in the mail is Wednesday of next […]
There was a lot of buzz earlier this week that former President Donald Trump would be indicted within days on charges related to using campaign funds to make a hush money payment to a porn star with whom he allegedly had an affair years earlier. As The New York Times reports, that indictment probably won’t […]
UPDATE: According to CBS4 Denver, the Denver School Board is discussing trying to place more armed police officers in schools: Denver school board member Tay Anderson, who led the movement to remove Denver police officers from Denver Public Schools in 2020 is now calling for reinstating DPD officers in schools according to Mayor Michael Hancock’s […]
Today, the Colorado Senate Democratic majority passed three important pro-choice bills over the fervent objections of the shrunken GOP minority. These three bills, to protect abortion rights in Colorado from out-of-state legal pursuits, limit “surprise billing” for abortion care, and regulate so-called “crisis pregnancy centers” set up to steer patients away from abortion for religious […]
Republican lawmakers in Colorado have spent the majority of their minority’s time in 2023 objecting to pretty much any legislation proposed by Democrats. It matters not whether the legislation is significantly objectionable or only moderately disagreeable — the response is the same on every issue of consequence. In the State Senate on Tuesday, Republican Barbara […]
The race to become Denver’s next Mayor is getting down to its final days. Ballots were mailed out to voters last week; Election Day is April 4, but with 16 candidates on the ballot, there’s no real chance that one candidate will get more than 50% of the vote to avoid a June 6 runoff. […]
Denver ballots are out and it’s time to just name it. The Denver Mayoral race has become a shining example of double standards, racism and how white men/people take credit for the hard work of others. I’m a woman of color, and this is what I see. I live in the Denver metro, and I […]
With your help, great things are starting to happen at the Colorado Capitol this year. I want to start off the week by thanking everyone who contacted your state representative to support House Bill 23-1099, legislation to save Colorado renters money by streamlining the applicant screening process. By allowing renters to provide portable screening reports […]
When he’s not threatening a civil war or to hang an undetermined but presumably large number of American politicians he doesn’t like, Colorado Springs-based election conspiracy theorist and gun store owner Joe Oltmann is supporting his close friend and commander of the United American Defense Force militia group John Tiegen in Tiegen’s longshot bid to […]
Politico is reporting that the long, long wait for ex-President Donald Trump to finally face criminal charges in one of the many investigations proceeding against him may end today–or at least this week: Law enforcement officials are meeting at NYPD headquarters in lower Manhattan on Monday afternoon to plan for a possible indictment of former […]
Controversy arose this week in the normally sleepy Western Slope town of Dolores, when a surprise appearance at Dolores High School by Rep. Lauren Boebert divided parents and raised both political and safety concerns. Reporter Bailey Duran at the Cortez Journal: Many parents opted to keep their children home amid concerns for their children’s safety […]
