Scott Miller at the Vail Daily reports on a renewed effort by Colorado Democrats in support of legislation to protect 400,000 acres of public land in Colorado–legislation presently getting the brush-off from Sen. Cory Gardner as he tries to focus attention on the Great American Outdoors Act that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has allowed […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is rolling out endorsements from fellow Republican Senators and spending a lot of money on Facebook to promote them in an effort to raise more money for his own re-election bid. For obvious reasons, Gardner’s campaign has been less enthusiastic about announcing one particular endorsement. This week Gardner promoted endorsements/fundraising […]
The Denver Post’s Bruce Finley reported yesterday on a green light from GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to allow passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, legislation to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund and provide cash to chip away at the huge backlog of maintenance and other projects on public lands: […]
UPDATE: Via CNN’s Chris Cillizza: So, to say — as so many elected Republicans do — that they don’t have pay attention to what the President tweets is, on its face, deeply irresponsible. Monitoring what the President says, even if it’s as frequent and as frequently erratic as Trump’s tweets, has always been part of […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports today on the push from Democratic members of Congress from Colorado and Secretary of State Jena Griswold to encourage other states to adopt our state’s highly successful–and much safer from a social distancing perspective–mail ballot election system: “If we do not act as a nation very quickly, Americans who […]
People are still buzzing about the eye-opening letter written by former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis earlier this week in which he said that President Trump is actively trying to divide Americans. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try,” wrote Mattis. […]
As the Denver Post’s Jon Murray reports: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said Tuesday that violence during recent nightly protests in Denver overshadowed demonstrators’ “righteous” message, but he rebuked calls by President Donald Trump and others to activate the military to put down civil unrest in cities across the country. “This is not China. This is […]
We touched on this in today’s Get More Smarter update, and the debate goes on over one of the most vitriolic Tweets ever from President Donald Trump–so much so that Twitter again took the exigent step of flagging the Tweet for violating its policy against “glorifying violence.” The original tweet read: “These THUGS are dishonoring […]
Conservation Colorado released new polling data today showing that Colorado voters overwhelmingly support three legislative proposals aimed at improving air and water quality in the state. These are interesting numbers, but what caught our attention was the favorable/unfavorable breakdown of Colorado politicians. Pay particular attention to the results for Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma): Gah! Earlier […]
Readers of Colorado Pols are well aware of the Faustian bargain that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) made when he fell in line firmly behind President Trump shortly after the 2016 election and tied his fortunes to the Big Orange Guy ahead of the 2018 election cycle. Any last hope that Gardner had for creating a […]
