There is no such thing as the “rules-based international order” if the biggest kid on the playground isn’t bound by those rules.

Staying tuned for operational details here. As a reminder, when we snatch-and-grabbed Noriega, we also managed to kill 1000+ civilians in the process.

This was a fully illegal operation conducted on the absolute thinnest of pretenses without congressional approval. It should only be discussed as such. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

It’s very difficult to imagine that a Democratic congressional majority would actually defund ICE. They’re not even promising to.

This year, I read 86 books: 37 nonfiction, and 49 novels. I enjoyed some of them quite a lot. If you need any recommendations, here are a few.

The question isn’t one of fandom, friendship, or love but how people are picking up signals about their priority within what is supposed to be their electoral home with the people they’re supposed to work to have representing them.

2025 Review: As our denier-in-chief pushes election fraud conspiracies from the White House, he's created a permission structure for his supporters, including many here in Colorado, to do the same. CTR continues to debunk the disinformation.

This year, we focused a lot of our efforts on one of the biggest problems plaguing American democracy: the presence of dark money in politics -- and how it impacts Colorado, from the top of the ticket all the way down to local races. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/12/2025...

What’s happening with American media, American education, and America’s approach to places like Greenland & Honduras harmonizes with the “network state” movement (backed by Thiel, Lonsdale, Andreessen, etc), which calls for the construction of “parallel institutions” and “parallel societies”. 1/

Some really great local reporting right here.

As Project 2025 has gone into effect over the last 11 months, media coverage of the authoritarian initiative has declined. That's why columnist @loganmdavis.bsky.social took a look at where things stand, 11 months in. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/12/davi...

Maintaining a billionaire class is an economic inefficiency.

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined. ~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending. We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

The inertia-bound denizens of public opinion are genuinely aghast that any of us engage in politics for values-based reasons.

"In refusing to either abandon or tokenize the trans community, Sherrill & Spanberger did the most important thing those in power can do 4 any..targeted community: they refused to let them be separated from the pack." @loganmdavis.bsky.social vis.bsky.social coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/12/davi...

This is the vice chair of the Democrat caucus straight up saying that even if Dems win the midterms, they might not impeach Trump.

The argument that Democrats should abandon support for trans rights was never supported by much evidence. Now, after the 2025 elections, it's directly contradicted by the evidence, writes @loganmdavis.bsky.social. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/12/davi...

Seeing a lot of people posting about this new Manhattan Institute data. As someone who professionally deals with conspiracism on a daily basis, I don’t want to dismiss the findings out of hand, but it’s worth noting that the methodology is horrible and the phrasing is extremely bad. Beware. 1/

Oh boy

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...

“The National AIDS Memorial, through a partnership with the AIDS Quilt Touch team, presents all 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in an interactive experience so people around the world can experience the beauty of the Quilt and witness the love and stories stitched into each panel.”

The U.S. poverty line for a family of four is $32,150. However, investor Michael W. Green argues it should be more than four times higher, a threshold that would classify most American households as living “in poverty” by his measure. wapo.st/4pySw6b

It's not often that "simple morality" and "effective politics" line up so perfectly, but we have to hope DC's Democrats are smart enough to seize the moment with both hands

The research is clear: gratitude can help our health & happiness, strengthen our relationships, and give us strength through adversity – just when we need these things the most, writes columnist @loganmdavis.bsky.social in this year's Thanksgiving column. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/11/davi...

As someone whose name is very much in the FBI file on Peters, I have to confess that I hope she doesn’t turn into any more of a MAGA cause celebre.

Concern continues to grow that former county clerk and convicted felon Tina Peters may be transferred to a federal facility and then released. Because she is jailed on state charges, Trump cannot currently pardon her — but they’re trying anyway. County clerks are speaking to this concern today.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

One of these men is the brutal, megalomaniacal product of generations of incest, and the other is Mohammed bin Salman.

Archivists make the world go round.

A truism which has been continually proven accurate during my 15 years in politics: No one inside the political world believes corruption is as big of a deal as EVERYONE outside of the political world does. Act accordingly.

Only one member of Colorado's congressional delegation was mentioned in the Epstein emails released last week -- and, for some reason, only I have reported it. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/11/davi...

Thinking there’s a difference between “environmentalism” and “material prosperity” is just very, very dumb. Love to prosper with my lead poisoning while the fumes from the burning Cuyahoga and inescapable smog choke my crops and squash the GNP.

deep in the muck with Logan. “that when politics runs on money, the sources of that money are less and less scrutinized, and the recipients of it become more and more willing to avert their eyes. It is an example of how money has spread through our politics like dry rot through structural beams…

We’ve reached the “hebephilia is actually different than pedophilia” stage of the discourse.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation
