The Colorado Times Recorder will host an online panel and fundraiser on Tuesday, May 12, to discuss its recent investigation (and new website) that illuminates how wealthy conservative donors, like GOP billionaire Phil Anschutz, have poured millions of dollars into a network of dark-money groups -- centered around Advance Colorado -- focused on public relations and ballot measures. CTR Deputy Editor Erik Maulbetsch and investigative columnist Logan Davis will explain how Advance Colorado's network operates -- and why it's had some success in blue Colorado. The Zoom event is free. The sign-up link is in the article below. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/04/fighti… #copolitics #coleg

After years of sifting through thousands of tax documents, hundreds of news stories, and countless other sources in an effort to help Coloradans understand Advance Colorado and its conservative network, we've put all our reporting in one place. #copolitics coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/04/who-is…

Between a liberal media ecosystem she claims is biased against Republicans, Democrats’ fundraising machine, and rising anti-Trump sentiment, Heidi Ganahl says Colorado’s GOP needs a “small miracle” to win even one statewide race this year. #copolitics coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/04/ganahl…

Joey Bunch is a great writer. His evocative prose turned me green with envy. To wit: coloradopolitics.com/columnists/ins…

Joey Bunch ain’t dead yet, and he’s modeling a Colorado Times Recorder t-shirt. He says, “I donated all my suits, so it’s the nicest article of clothing I own.” #copolitics #coleg @colo_politics

My Latest: AP is laying off journalists, and a stealth conservative news service wants to take its place -- especially in the swing states -- with the help of some of the richest right-wing donors in America coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/04/how-a-… #localnewsday #copolitics

Earlier this month, we published statistics about the detainees held in ICE's Colorado "hold rooms." Today, we are looking beyond the datapoint and sharing the individual stories of the people behind them -- 2,800 of them. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/exclus…

These ICE 'hold rooms' increasingly serve as unofficial, undisclosed long-term detention facilities across America. #copolitics

BREAKING: ICE has been holding children and seniors in inhumane and secretive holding rooms in Colorado. Today, I led colleagues in calling for immediate oversight. The Trump administration's brutality will not go unchecked.

NEW: At least nine secretive ICE detention facilities are scattered around the state, tucked into strip malls and industrial parks. More than 3,000 people were held in them last year, including a 1-year-old girl. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/exclus…

"Like pounding a square peg into a round hole." UPDATE: Campaign finance judge fines GOP's Douglas County Victory Fund $11k+ for violations related to fundraiser for Boebert, Brauchler, and other Republican candidates. #copolitics #coleg coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/hearin…

NEW: Michael Bennet's campaign says it won't seek primary ballot access in the gubernatorial race through the caucus and assembly process and instead will rely solely on the voter signatures they turned in today #copolitics

Here's the Colorado Times Recorder's weekly round-up of protests and political events for the week of Feb. 27 - March 4. #fyp #foryoupage #colorado #politics #Ice #midterms #protest #events #denver #boulder #aurora

My latest: Pope Leo replaces right-wing Archbishop Samuel Aquila. When it came to political issues like abortion and LGBTQ rights, Aquila's hateful words rose above his statements of compassion. His replacement may chart a different course coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/02/colora… #copolitics

A campaign to put anti-trans initiatives on Colorado's 2026 ballot has become a crusade for right-wing religious groups who use their faith to justify pushing trans people out of public life. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/02/as-chr…

my latest: Did Pressure From Journalists Prompt an Anschutz-Owned Newspaper To Publish a Disclosure, Albeit a Weak One? coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/did-pr… #copolitics

My latest. A CO congressman — like JD Vance — blamed the victim of the last ICE shooting for her. We will see what happens this time? coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/simply… #ice #copolitics
