With apologies to Democrats still hoping that Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert could be ousted in November, the math suggests that there are really only two competitive races among Colorado’s eight congressional districts in 2022: For the “open” seats in CO-07 and CO-08. In each district, the issue of gun violence prevention clearly separates the Democratic […]
Yesterday, we were forwarded an “urgent national petition” sent out by the Centennial Institute, the conservative political activist wing of taxpayer-funded Colorado Christian University, calling for Colorado’s U.S. Senators to oppose legislation protecting marriage equality following the threat made by Justice Clarence Thomas in the recent Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade that other recently-won […]
The election denialism trend that was sparked by former President Donald Trump doesn’t appear to be going away entirely, but at least we might have reached a stage where the election truthers aren’t trying that hard to explain their cockamamie theories. For example, we ran across this story from the right-wing “Gateway Pundit” about alleged […]
While most of the public outrage has been focused on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning the federally guaranteed right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade, another decision by the rightward-skewed Court this session is beginning to reverberate–troublingly for the overwhelming majority of Americans who support tighter restrictions on gun ownership. As the […]
Six years ago, Colorado Republicans nominated little-known El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn to be their nominee for U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet. A few months after winning a competitive Republican Primary, Glenn confidently compared himself to a “unicorn” owing to his self-impressed political beliefs and campaign style. “I am the human equivalent […]
Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the latest wave of a highly infectious subvariant of the Omicron flavor of the virus is surging across the planet–though due to the vaccines and better treatment options available in 2022 compared to two years ago, the rate of hospitalization and death is far below previous waves of the […]
Regular readers of Colorado Pols know that we’ve long been critical of politicians who promise to make big cuts to taxes and/or government spending without offering a logical explanation for how they would balance out budget items for other necessary public functions. The problem is simple: If you remove a significant portion of revenue, what […]
As Bloomberg Government reports, incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet is out with his first television ad of the 2022 election cycle: Bennet’s re-election campaign will start airing its first TV ad of the cycle Thursday morning in the Denver and Colorado Springs media markets. It’s a $600,000 media buy… …In an interview Wednesday on Capitol […]
On Tuesday, the American League defeated the National League 3-2 in the 2022 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium. Viewership was reportedly down from last year’s All-Star Game, which took place at Coors Field in Denver after the event was pulled from Atlanta in protest of the state of Georgia’s new voting restrictions–vote […]
As Caitlyn Kim of Colorado Public Radio reports: The House passed H.R. 8404, which would protect same-sex and interracial marraige, 267-157. More than 40 Rs voted for it, but not any from CO’s congressional delegation. Boebert – No Buck – No Crow – Yes DeGette – Yes Lamborn – No Neguse – Yes Perlmutter – […]
