private equity newspaper loves a profile of a nepo baby handed the keys to granddaddy's company. at least it's good to know who we need to tax at 99%.

In interviews, state Sen. Julie Gonzales and her consultants described a "pattern of pressure" undertaken by allies of U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper to try to stop her from entering the race.

NEW: How allies of Sen. John Hickenlooper tried to ward off a progressive challenge in the primary by state Sen. Julie Gonzales. It didn't work. Read @sethklamann.bsky.social: www.denverpost.com/2025/12/09/c...

RTD sued over plan to start charging for Access-on-Demand rides for people with disabilities trib.al/8Johc90

I’m running for the U.S. Senate so the people who built Colorado can take back control of our healthcare, our homes, and our futures. Working people built Colorado, we deserve a government that finally works for us. Join our campaign: julieforcolorado.com

Turning RTD into a make-work program for police who cannot and will not solve homelessness or drug addiction is part of the death spiral of ridership. Pretending to solve problems costs money! If RTD spent more money on fast and frequent reliable service they’d maybe stop hemorrhaging riders.

Another day waking up as one of the richest people in the world, among the one-one-hundred-millionth of the luckiest, most empowered, most carefree sentient beings to ever walk the earth: I think today will be calling my lobbyist to make sure there's not a bicyclist getting off too easy somewhere.

Cannot express how unfathomable it is to me that someone could be born into billions of dollars and live in one of those Polo Club mansions and ever so much as have even a passing, idle thought about the number of lanes on a road near your house

can we not do better than another former biglaw attorney?

democratic political consultants are the definition of cringe. just the lamest people on the planet.

BREAKING: The majority of executives and upper management are totally talentless hacks.

Tina Peters should not be in a cage. Nobody deserves the hell she’s enduring, not even racist old white ladies. Her sentence was excessive, ineffective, and absurd, as is the partisan carcerality that prioritizes politics & profit over safety & human decency. Good luck Tina.

Now this is how you get good data on whether or not free transit works, not the one month pilots that the state of CO performatively tested and abandoned. You’ve gotta give people time to adjust!

when I was in law school everyone knew that joining the federalist society was like getting tsa precheck for a clerkship

Bernie Sanders won Colorado twice, his rally in Civic Center is among the largest in state history, neither of you non-socialists could draw crowds like that if your life depended on it.

Jason Crow and Brittany Pettersen signed this shit. Stunningly out of touch.

if you are a student who was banned, or know one who was, reach out. i would be happy to represent you in a civil rights suit. this is outrageous.

Corruption right in front of your eyes: 1) Bennet says he wants universal healthcare. 2) DaVita drops $50K into his Super PAC. 3) Suddenly Bennet claims he “can’t do anything” on healthcare as Governor. This is what bought-and-paid-for politics looks like.

we should not be spending public money to finance the hobbies of billionaires and we should not let them hold us hostage on the false promise that a sports stadium will "revitalize" an area of denver that is already great. good luck with your stadium in centennial. denverite.com/2025/11/17/d...

the man loves a lobbyist who can fund his future political ambitions.

One of my top priorities as Attorney General: taking on the healthcare oligarchs that are bleeding us dry. #copolitics

please stop falling for this. they aren't actually against it. it is all posturing.

"mayor aims to make denver worse for poor people"

Phil Weiser has done more for working-class Coloradans in a day than Michael Bennet has in 16 years in the Senate. This primary should be an easy win for Phil if not for Bennet’s Billionaire backers like Bloomberg and the AI Venture Firms trying to buy the gov's mansion

"area voters" aka business owners who do not live in the neighborhood. i voted against this blank check for criminalizing our houseless neighbors as one of the few homeowners asked to vote.

everyone, except legislators who are actually fighting for their communities like @javiermabrey.bsky.social (my legislator).

it's not surprising that the denver police department trotted out the exact same bullshit claims during the george floyd protests that the trump administration makes here. that's because cops are inherently fascist, whether local or federal. we must not forget that.

me too.

mike johnston really loves lying.

@denverite.bsky.social examines another false/misleading claim from Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. We've explored three on 9NEWS recently. All four claims deal with public safety as the Mayor positions himself as tougher on crime than progressives on City Council. denverite.com/2025/11/04/d...

Denver: if you think Mayor Mike Johnston is [redacted], you should watch Denver District Court and hear how his wife Deputy District Attorney Courtney Johnston talks about us.

i'm glad everyone is learning what a liar this man is.

this is the future mike johnston wants. mainly to ensure that his pockets are lined by his tech bro donors when he runs for higher office. it's honestly despicable.

NEW: Colorado AG and gubernatorial candidate Phil Weiser (D) tells 9NEWS he supports Colorado redrawing House maps to create new Dem seats to offset Republican redistricting in red states. Weiser is the most prominent Colo. Democrat to sign on to the effort. #copolitics

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald by Chicago police

Former state Rep. Joe Salazar contrasts the “courage” of AG Phil Weiser — to whom he narrowly lost in the 2018 AG primary — with the “cowardice” of Sens. Bennet and Hickenlooper for voting for many of Trump’s nominees. (Weiser faces Bennet in the 2026 governor race.)

We will not be silenced.* *Unless you're one of several Griswold staffers who were allegedly forced to sign NDAs to cover up her misbehavior. Then indeed we have a queen I guess.

This is a stunningly pathological lawsuit even by Trumpian standards. It reads as if he was holding a gun to the head of the child of the lawyer drafting it.

He won't answer a simple question: do you support the call that RFK resign? He's craven.

Only one career where you can make $330K/yr to pistol whip children and it doesn’t attract “good apples”

Not really a surprise, given the original pleadings and the language in the ICA But man. Sure feels like an awful lot of our system of government was not architected to account for a malevolent President, a servile Congress, and a corrupted Supreme Court all holding office at the same time

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

Colorado’s Law Enforcement Integrity Act does not permit agencies to charge requesters hundreds or thousands of dollars for body-worn camera footage showing possible misconduct by police officers, three briefs submitted to the Colorado of Appeals this week argue. coloradofoic.org/cfoic-aclu-b...

lol what is this headline

this is obviously very bad, but it's not fundamentally different than the way that state and local democrats have responded to homelessness over the past 20 years (at least).

we could build our entire Denver Moves: Bike Map for the money taxpayers are going to pay for a vanity project for millionaires and billionaires. we need to stop the welfare for the 1%. if they want a stadium, let them pay for it.

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

griswold isn't it, but neither is doshi. we don't need a former biglawyer and cop (ausa) as ag. vote seligman, who has walked the walk for his entire career.
