His name is now on some federal buildings, his signature will soon be on the dollar bill, his face will be on coins and national park passes. And now Trump is putting his own picture on US passports. apnews.com/article/passpo…

Yes. My position is that reporters shouldn’t get dressed up in a tux to have some laughs with the terrible president. I also oppose trying to shoot the president (or anyone). These opinions coexist very easily if you don’t have a baby brain.
Megan Basham@megbasham

@Timodc I’m sorry, you and your organization have spent the last week saying that journalists should not even sit down with the president for a pleasant dinner that is an annual tradition. You are absolutely part of the problem.

@DKThomp I agree but who gets to determine what is “right and decent”? I agree that some is self-evident and “shouldn’t” need defining, but I feel as though we are in the minority.

In Mere Christianity, CS Lewis has an awesome opening riff about how most people know the difference between right and wrong, but they justify acting immorally by appealing to "special exception." They know they shouldn't hit a friend, but what if that friend was being so mean? They know they shouldn't steal a seat a bus, but what if that person got up and created a moment's confusion and then the seat was up for grabs? Etc. When I read this section, I thought a lot about contemporary politics and the way that people justify their politics, not by appealing to higher principles, but rather by appealing to "special exception" to argue that their admitted indecency is justifiable in context. A lot of MAGA vice is justified by special exception. Trump's defenders rarely defend his crookedness directly. They don't say "it's wonderful to use trade policy to enrich the Oval Office, it's really awesome." They say: Well, look, it doesn't really matter, because the left is so dangerous, Biden maybe did something similar 3 years ago, Democrats would do the same in power, and so forth. I heard something similar in that NYT conversation everybody's talking about. You even see it in the headline: ‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?’ Why, hello, special exception. When you start arguing that stealing food and French paintings is justifiable in the context of political protest in an age of prevailing distrust, you're similarly not arguing *for* any kind of a universal principle. Nobody actually wants 300 million people stealing fruit from the grocery store. Nobody actually wants every Louvre visitor trying to rip a Manet off the walls. These virtues don't scale. (Because they're not virtuous!) Sap that I am, I want us to get to a place where politics is about fighting for what is right and decent, not about justifying what sort of indecent behavior might be somewhat understandable or technically justifiable given the other side's vice or the prevailing levels of indecency. The point is to build the kind of goodness that scales. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/opi…

These were real neo-Nazis, and someone with their same beliefs murdered Heather Heyer the next day. Stop pretending that one informant made this happen.
Kyle Becker@kylenabecker

You can really see how the modern left stages these fake fights to divide Americans. This is from Charlottesville. It's like these riots are scripted by socialist theater kids. Turns out, many are. Nothing the left believes in, or fights against, is real

A liberal society can’t work if both sides seize every advantage they can. But the latest gerrymander suggests we’ve gone awfully far down that road, writes Charles Lane. thefp.com/p/virginia-fai…

Wouldn't be better if political leaders who profess their faith set an example by actually OBSERVING the Ten Commandents rather than commanding schools to post them?!
