“Ghost Gun” Ban Caps Off Big Year For Gun Safety

Last Friday, Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 23-279, legislation to outlaw the sale and manufacture of so-called “ghost guns”–weapons made in part from 3D-printed and other home-based fabrication methods with no traceable serial number or background checks required. This legislation, the fifth major gun safety bill from the 2023 legislative session signed into law, […]

Buck Says Trump’s Nonstop Legal Trouble Is Actually Great

GOP Rep. Ken Buck has a well-earned reputation for making what he thinks is the greatest argument ever on a given issue, oblivious to the fact that everyone in the room including most of his allies are cringing in dismay. 2023 so far has borne this reputation out with several high-profile cable news gaffes, claiming […]

One More Poll: Who Will Be The Next Mayor of Denver?

Tomorrow is the big day in Denver’s runoff election for Mayor and three contested city council races. In the totally unscientific reader polls we’ve conducted before and since the first round of voting in April, former state Sen. Michael Johnston has enjoyed a consistent edge over business lobbyist Kelly Brough. Here’s one more chance for […]

Boebert Changes Story Over Missed Debt Ceiling Vote

SUNDAY UPDATE: Like we said, Rep. Lauren Boebert lied. And here’s the video that proves it. —– As the story was originally told, Rep. Lauren Boebert was running at the last minute to cast her promised vote against the debt ceiling increase legislation that was signed by President Joe Biden into law earlier today: Rep. […]

Vendetta: GOP Chairman Broadsides 2022 Primary Opponent

SATURDAY UPDATE: The press takes note of GOP chairman Dave Williams’ assault on his 2022 primary opponent: I’m not entirely sure what the empty “held accountable” threat means here. But it sure seems like new Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams is using his role to go after Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who beat him in […]

All Bark, No Bite: Boebert, Buck, and the Freedumb Caucus

While you were watching the Denver Nuggets dismantle the Miami Heat on Thursday in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the U.S. Senate approved a measure to raise the debt ceiling and avoid economic catastrophe. President Biden is expected to sign the bill today and deliver remarks from the White House at 5:00 pm (Mountain […]

Anti-Wokesters Come For Chick-Fil-A

As the New York Times reported this week, the culture war backlash from the far right against all things “woke,” which seems to mean every inclusionary policy put in place since the civil rights era half a century ago, has come full circle to claim one of its earliest allies: Chick-fil-A drew fierce criticism this […]

Ken Buck Weakly Sort Of Calls For Kevin McCarthy’s Head

As the New York Times’ Carl Hulse reports, yesterday’s passage of legislation to raise the nation’s debt limit until beyond the next presidential election by the GOP-controlled U.S. House, over the objections of the far-right Republicans who pushed hardest to exploit what should have been a routine vote for maximum political damage, has prompted calls […]

And After All of That…Lauren Boebert Didn’t Even Bother to Vote

THURSDAY UPDATE: You can count Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) among those who are not pleased with Boebert’s performative failures: We were elected to bring people together and get stuff done, not play hooky when our economy is on the line. https://t.co/tRfRRKJ6tg — Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) June 1, 2023 —– We wrote on Tuesday that Congressperson […]
