DAVIS: Bullying Kids is Bad Politics
I want you to imagine for a moment that you’re back in high school. You were a child pretty recently and you’ll be an adult pretty soon, but for now, things are weird.

Extremist Rewind – May 5, 2025
Welcome to the start of another week, and is there a better way to start by taking a look back at recent cases of political extremism? Of course not. As part of the Colorado Times Recorder‘s weekly review of reporting on extremism, we offer Erik Maulbetsch’s recent article looking into a scheduled event where Douglas County Clerk Sheri Davis was slated to speak alongside election conspiracists. Following an inquiry, Davis appears to have backed out. David Flomberg’s latest column examines the similarities between RFK Jr.’s autism database and the registry put together during the German Third Reich, tracking people with similar conditions. Steve Rabey of Baptist News Global gives an update on the defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems against right-wing news outlet Newsmax. Finally, we recommend a commentary from Colorado Newsline’s Quentin Young on the Trump administration’s attempt to target public officials, which it sees as impeding its agenda.
