With the 2023 Colorado legislative session now in the books, it’s time for us to hand out some grades. As always, we focus more on the politics than the policy here at Colorado Pols (for a more policy-centric “Winners and Losers” list, check out ProgressNow Colorado or Axios Denver). WINNERS Colorado Families (For […]
UPDATE #2: We promised earlier today to update with local reactions, but from what we can see none of our local Republican talking heads, including “Ultra-MAGA” GOP chairman Dave Williams and Rep. Lauren Boebert, have said a word as of 7:30PM this evening. That too is notable. —– UPDATE: We hit publish too soon! The […]

Among the issues that have come up for discussion lately is the idea of another round of legislation dealing with one of the all-time bullshit arguments in Colorado: Construction […]
UPDATE: Local Proud Boys self-appointed spokesman Louie Huey responds defiantly: We figure it will at least muffle them. Federal prison tends to do that. —– As The Washington Post reports, former President Trump’s sort-of private army failed to convince a jury that the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection was just their patriotic duty: Former Proud Boys […]
Down to the final few days of the 2023 session of the Colorado General Assembly, which has been a story of a small Republican minority doing its utmost to grind the people’s business to a halt, Democrats are once again invoking the parliamentary power at their disposal to limit what the rules call “debate” over […]
