UPDATE: For what it’s worth, a “pardon” signed by President Trump is now available on the Department of Justice website. —– President Trump is really feeling the Holiday season in 2025. A few weeks after symbolically pardoning a couple of turkeys in the annual pre-Thanksgiving event at the White House, Trump did it again on […]
Just days after state Sen. Julie Gonzales of Denver announced her challenge to incumbent Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper while at the same time sort-of renouncing her ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), one of the foremost progressive leaders in the U.S. Senate is jumping in to shore up Hickenlooper’s left flank. Here are […]
As CBS News’ Caitlin Yilek reports, members of Congress on both sides with a conscience or sense of political self-preservation are becoming increasingly vocal about the need to address expiring health insurance premium subsidies before the end of the year, before millions of Americans face premium hikes that could devastate them financially: Republican moderates in […]
President Trump has been on a rampage in recent weeks about his inability to spring former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters from jail in Colorado, where she is currently serving a nine-year sentence for her actions related to breaking into her own election computers in a fruitless attempt to prove 2020 election fraud. […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the State of Colorado lost a giant after State Senator Faith Winter tragically passed in a car accident, leaving a huge orange and blue void in the State Capitol and in so many of our hearts. We remember a state lawmaker who wasn’t one of 100 lawmakers, she was […]

(The “Cool American” takes on Gabe Evans — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last year, Republican Adam Derito supported U.S. Representative Gabe Evans (R-CO) “full force.” “I was so excited to vote for him,” said Derioto. “I volunteered to work on all the veteran issues with him, because I […]
As Chase Woodruff reports for Colorado Newsline, the wait is over as a long-rumored Democratic primary challenge from state Sen. Julie Gonzales against incumbent Democratic Sen.

As FOX 31’s Heather Willard reports, following the refusal over the holiday weekend by Colorado officials to honor the request by the Department of Justice to transfer convicted felon former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters to federal custody, from which she would likely be either released or moved to Ghislaine Maxwell-style accommodations at a “Club […]
President Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff “policies” have been a regular subject in this space, with one example after another demonstrating the significant negative impacts on Colorado businesses. As Judith Kohler reports for The Denver Post, a new state report on tariff impacts shows that things keep getting worse: The overwhelming majority of Colorado businesses surveyed […]

Last night, 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark broke news that will greatly relieve county clerks in both parties who have been begging Gov. Jared Polis to decline the Trump administration’s request to transfer former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters from the state prison, where she is serving as nine year sentence for her scheme to defeat election […]
As we noted over the weekend, Governor Jared Polis is hearing from a bipartisan group of county clerks and prosecutors who want him to refuse requests from the Justice Department to take federal custody of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder serving a 9-year prison sentence for breaking into her own election […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, fresh GOP Rep. Jeff Hurd is working to pass his bipartisan legislation that would extend the health insurance premium subsidies he previously voted to cut off at the end of the year, after refusing to sign on to a discharge petition that would force a vote on doing […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Epstein Files bill passed the House and Senate nearly unanimously and was signed into law by Donald Trump. That means that we get to see everything that was in them, right? Right? Then Trump’s mid-cycle gerrymandering mandate seems to have totally backfired on the GOP with a federal […]
Xcel Energy in Colorado submitted a request for a 10% rate increase on Friday. Xcel was no doubt hoping to avoid too much negative publicity by making the move on the front end of what is a long holiday weekend for many people. As Judith Kohler reports for The Denver Post: Xcel Energy, Colorado’s largest […]
(When you can’t beat ’em the old-fashioned way — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Ostensibly, ballot initiatives are meant as a way for the average citizen to create political change without the Legislature. But over half of the initiatives which could be put to Colorado voters in 2026 have […]
Americans are not happy with President Trump. Trump’s approval ratings in a string of recent polls have fallen precipitously as Americans fret about rising prices; increasing health care costs; the fallout from the federal government shutdown; and headlines about Trump’s connection to deceased gross guy Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s numbers are so bad, in fact, […]
Colorado Republicans are trying so hard to promote their nonsense narrative about unchecked crime in our state that they are refusing to even acknowledge the good work of state and local law enforcement agencies. Officials this week detailed the largest seizure of methamphetamine in state history — including a whopping 733 pounds found in Lakewood […]
(Hurd nothing — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder None of Colorado’s four Republican members of Congress has signed a petition, launched by House Democrats, to force a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, which would prevent tens of thousands of Coloradans from losing their health insurance.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we can finally shut up about the shut down as it has met a rather anticlimactic end right in time for the holiday travel crunch, but, the only thing we care about is…WHO WON, and, hey, what the hell is going on with all those healthcare premiums anyway…and, […]
During President Trump’s first term in office, there was an oft-repeated phrase about his King Midas-esque impact on the world around him that went something like this: Everything Trump touches eventually turns to shit. Trump’s habit of turning things into fake gold was largely forgotten in the first half of 2025 as he rampaged through […]
As we noted last week, soon-to-be-former Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky was casting around for her next elected office after a surprising defeat in her re-election campaign. With more time to ponder her political future, Jurinsky has apparently decided against running for an open seat on the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in District […]
The Colorado Republican Party is nothing if not utterly and hopelessly predictable. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, the state party that POLITICO once said “would rather lose than change” is once again wrapped around its own axle: For the second time in as many years, a group […]
