Tim Arvidson, a fomer GOP state Senate candidate who was arrested yesterday after allegedly shooting and killing a man in CO Springs, boasted on Facebook about taking part in the J6 riot, posting a photo of himself driving there, uploading a video of it, & later processing what he "experienced."

Election deniers across the country celebrated Governor Polis' decision to release Tina Peters from prison next month. They she did nothing wrong and some want her to run for elected office.

Learned some new (to me) #copolitics trivia today from Barb Kirkmeyer's during her interview on Peter Boyles. Twenty years ago, Bob Beauprez's infamous horse ad was filmed at her mom's farm.

Attention grocery shoppers: the firm responsible for the fraud, Victor's Canvassing, is currently working on two ballot initiatives for Advance Colorado: 177 (Right to Natural Gas) & 232 (Income Tax Rate Cap).

This Berthoud Surveyor interview with Congressman Gabe Evans is from Wednesday. The gas price chart is today's. If Evans is to be believed, it would appear he hasn't filled up since sometime in March.

Two Republicans (and one ex-Republican) running for #COGov took the stage in Parker Weds night to pitch mass deportations, jailing the attorney general, and abolishing property taxes. The GOP fundraising leader skipped the forum to do his own livestream, so we reported on that too. #copolitics

If I've ever cornered you with a long-winded rant about how conservatives do #copolitics in blue Colorado and how the Common Sense Institute aims for sound bites over sound research... would you like to hear more? Tuesday at 6:30pm MT, Sign up here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Tensions can be high in the final days of Colorado’s legislative session, and on Tuesday morning they flared on the Senate floor about a bill over, of all things, newspaper carriers: coloradomedia.substack.com/p/a-paper-bo...

Canine credit cards, attempted murder memes, and more news you might have missed this week from the Colorado Times Recorder.

Good afternoon. I’m at Church for All Nations, for a candidate forum moderated be Ken Davis, who also happens to be the El Paso County GOP Chair. “These people are going to wow you,” he promises.

Alfred hasn't made any public comments about his campaign yet. If he wants to stay in the race, it doesn't look like his party can stop him.

Good morning! it is snowing at the capitol, and I am here for my third CO March for Life.

Thank you, Alamosa Valley Courier, for furthering our reporting on ICE holdrooms across the state. Read their coverage of a meeting between Rep. Jeff Hurd and local immigration advocates who called on him to commit to visiting hold rooms and call for oversight:

Is the music good? Yes. Is the money bad? Also yes.

INBOX: Mesa County DA Dan Rubinstein, the Republican who prosecuted Tina Peters, notes that the "jury's verdicts... were affirmed in full" and that the court didn't find the sentence "excessive or inappropriate, but instead identified a narrow issue requiring reconsideration."

The data has been public for months, but @loganmdavis.bsky.social dug into it to pull stories out- weaving endless lines of numbers into paths on a map, searchable by age, country, and other factors. Know of an ICE arrest that made the news? See if you can find it in here.

The Monday after county assemblies was a particularly awkward time for the Colorado Republican Party's longtime website to not work. The party has a new site (colorado.gop), but for the old one not to point to it isn't good. It's now Tuesday and it's still broken.

Last week, Colorado Republican Party Chair Brita Horn announced that she will be resigning from her position. Horn’s announcement comes after months of infighting, lawsuits, the resignation of two vice chairs and two no-confidence votes. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/anot...

ICE locks tens of thousands of detainees nationwide in a network of 170 "hold rooms" spread across 49 states, which are forbidden from containing beds. Today, we are publishing location and detainee information about all 170 facilities. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl...

Recent public reporting indicates that ICE is holding immigrants at secret detention facilities across Colorado. Today, I attempted to conduct oversight at one of the locations in Garfield County. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Utah Republican legislators rushed a bill to potentially split up Salt Lake County at the last second. The last "yes" vote landed five seconds too late. See the video: utahpolitics.news/gops-midnigh...

31 CO lawmakers - led by congressional candidate Manny Rutinel - sent a letter yesterday to immigration officials stating that the "existence of undisclosed detention sites, 'hidden in plain sight' between strip malls and office parks, is unacceptable." coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/afte...

Barefoot and pregnant: the Heritage Foundation's new plan for "saving the family" wants to keep young women out of the workforce so that they can have babies young and often, writes @loganmdavis.bsky.social coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/02/davi...

Last week Evans made a big show of concern with ICE entering homes w/o a judicial warrant. His "grilling" of the ICE Director lasted 23 seconds and consisted of asking him to agree to talk more about it... in private... sometime later.

These guys say a lot of crazy things. Our reporter @suziereports.bsky.social was there to hear them. Oh, and also to see Joe Oltmann sashay across the stage while showing off a little gun under his jacket.

The racist video posted by the President is perhaps the most egregiously racist thing shown in the White House since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915. Here's an article from Denver's Black newspaper in 1915 calling for Americans to denounce such racist imagery.

LIVE in Elbert County, CO: Question for 3 Republican gubernatorial candidates: "The average Islamic man has 4 wives, each have 8 children. So one man produces 32 children... there will be a shift in the population. What will you do to prevent this in CO?" Spoiler alert- they all answer seriously.

Skywriting, a new ICE facility in Colorado, and other news you might have missed over the weekend ⬇️

Just learned the CBS News app has local affiliates, like Minneapolis, which led me to see a great piece on the businesses on the block where ICE murdered Alex Pretti. Also- the Twin Cities weather guy does his forecasts using Viking QB numbers- "today's high is JJ McCarthy."

National group @moveon.org hired the plane.

Check out CTR's Sean Beedle reporting live from D.C.

During a $500 a plate breakfast at Washington D.C.’s Capitol Hill Club, March for Life Action donors heard from 22 Republican U.S. Representatives. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/we-s...

Seems worth noting that "report" author Dustin Zvonek, whom the CBS Denver anchor interviewed, is a partner at 76 Group, the GOP firm that *created* Common Sense Inst as a way to get headlines to help Republicans win elections. Read more about it here: coloradotimesrecorder.com/2024/02/most...

Kepler vs. Frosty, a one- act play with a surprise ending.

In the trial for a man accused of following a nonwhite Colorado TV reporter and then tackling and choking him outside the station after yelling "This is Trump's America now," the defense is arguing he experienced “medical hysteria" from a Benadryl prescription: www.kkco11news.com/2026/01/06/t...

Attention holiday shoppers: if a petition gatherer asks you for your signature to "limit ICE," be sure to read the fine print. The initiative from right-wing Advance Colorado actually would override state/local laws that protect immigrants.

For the second time in a month, Congressman Evans has made a misleading claim about an alleged electricity malfunction at Denver International Airport. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/12/denv...

Spoiler alert: the "third-largest city" is Aurora, where election commissioners' duties include appointing election judges.

Via @highcountrynews.org "Our analysis found that in 2024 alone, the federal government poured at least $2.5 billion into subsidy programs that public-lands ranchers can access, not including the steep discount on forage. ... Benefits flow largely to a select few like Kroenke.

Not that you need a reason to support the @coloradotimesrecorder.com, but if want one, It's Colorado Gives Day. To be clear, said giving can take place remotely. And even if you don't send cash, we always appreciate your eyeballs.* *metaphorically speaking.

Columnist @loganmdavis.bsky.social obtained secretly recorded audio (again) from a gathering of GOP elected officials, strategists, and advocates. What he found on the audio was a plan to take a local school district all the way to the Supreme Court. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/12/davi...

A whole lotta familiar Republicans spoke in favor of their fellow GOP commissioners doing a favor for Sterling Ranch developers the Smethills, and taking power from the newly elected school board that was just chosen by R-leaning Dougco voters.

This was a hell of a claim to make anytime, much less two weeks before Thanksgiving. After I asked DIA about it, Evans sent a "clarification" to the podcast on which he said it, but wouldn't answer my questions.

RISE picks up where Dr. Warren Hern, the founder of the Boulder Abortion Clinic who retired after fifty years of practice in April, left off — as one of the few clinics in the nation offering abortions later in pregnancy. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/11/anti...

Where else you gonna find Denver DSA and Turning Point USA events in one place?

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman has apparently called the race, even if it's not official yet- He just congratulated the winners on Facebook. #copolitics

Fremont County Republican Stephanie Luck says she won't run for reelection to the statehouse, but hinted at a possible run for a different, perhaps bigger office. She also called one declared candidate a liar, while endorsing a new one.

Hey Colorado public school supporters- read this.

Tonight: Colorado Republicans gather in Aurora to hear Lara Logan, a former 60 Minutes journalist whose descent into QAnon led to her getting fired from Newsmax for saying that the world’s elites “want us eating ... cockroaches” while they “dine on the blood of children.” #copolitics
