@DOMA_Misconduct @ryanburge If only they’d plant a parish in my area!

@ryanburge Great insights @ryanburge. We're also starting to see signs of cracks forming at the parish level according to the most recent self-reported data for 2025 from dioceses in the ACNA. x.com/jeffreyhwalton…

There are a couple of groups who are always overrepresented in my mentions. One is folks fishing for information on the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA). There's a narrative out there that they are growing rapidly. According to their own records....that's not true.

The media just isn’t a reliable source for accurate information and full context. The AP is the largest news wire service in the world. The AP’s article on Spirit omits the Biden admin’s effort to block the merger with JetBlue. Their article on the FIFA incident has a false headline, omits that the Israeli participant was an Arab, and omits that the Palestinian rep was a convicted terrorist who threw a grenade. So how can anyone rely on such an organization for accurate information? They can’t. So they seek out other sources. Many of those sources are even worse, but the media’s constant omissions and misinformation caused this environment.

@MichaelBarone @chucktodd I’d name it after … Michael Barone!

@chucktodd Then we'd need a bigger Capitol or at least a chamber with room enough for thousands of seats. I for one wouldn't want Trump's name affixed to it.

There really is only one way to improve representation for all Americans in Congress: UNCAP THE HOUSE! It’s what the founders intended; they did NOT want to see Congressional Districts that were bigger than most major cities. Want to dilute the influence of courts and partisans, UNCAP THE HOUSE!

"And that’s the tragedy of Trump’s vengeance agenda. After surviving the lawfare waged against him and winning the presidency a second time in 2024, Trump had an opportunity to end the cycle and remove the partisan taint from the justice system.

@WASPmexicano @hojihoji71 Good gravy that’s an excellent put-down. Hat’s off to you!

@hojihoji71 Oh please shut up and save the LARPing for whatever bar you curse with your loudmouth presence while hiding from your family obligations

One of the most moving things I’ve ever read was the letter from a former Confederate to a dying former President Grant

I'll probably get clobbered for this, but here goes: Please, can everyone, right or left, MAGA or anti-MAGA, Republican or Democrat, stop catastrophizing and trying to get everyone on your side worked up into a rage? It's not Flight 93. We're not on the verge of fascism. We do not need to take desperate measures. Our fellow citizens with whom we disagree are not devils incarnate or personifications of evil. We need to argue with our political adversaries--passionately perhaps--but with respect for their humanity and dignity. We don't need to destroy them. That mustn't be our aim. We all say we believe in democracy. Good! But democracy is all about persuading, giving reasons, engaging one another as fellow citizens, despite our disagreements. Let's rebuild civic friendship. We can do this. (Thank you for your attention to this matter.)

@PossiblyKPerry @MikeWingerii Do you have a source for this? Asking sincerely.

@MikeWingerii It goes against the universal position of the early church, who understood the New Testament better than any of us.

This is a biblical position. It’s not common and probably the majority of Christians would hesitate over it, or simply disagree, but I believe it is very biblical.

@foster_type …you’re not killing the president of Paraguay….” 😂.

I effing hate the emergence of black nitrile gloves in the culinary world. Worse than the neck tattoos. You're not cleaning a carburetor, you're not killing the president of Paraguay. It's a salad, clean hands are fine.

@JonahDispatch Is Donovan buddies with your In-Box? Been fun watching them grow over the years

Donovan, my rubber band ball could use some TLC but he’s holding up okay.

@charlescwcooke @SeanTrende On a related point: people who can’t distinguish between the two publications (or pretend they can’t) are maddening.

@SeanTrende Precisely.

It seems to me that Bill Kristol has forgotten why he opposes Trump, and simply internalized that he does, such that anything that is done in the name of that opposition is now deemed okay. This is no way to live. x.com/billkristol/st…

@tedfrank @bloatinus @Irrationalbasi5 @bencampo @jbarro @TPCarney The treatment of Estrada was truly disgraceful.

@bloatinus @Irrationalbasi5 @bencampo @jbarro @TPCarney I meant the first (4).

Remove conservative justices and pack the courts! The guy is a radical interested primarily in grabbing power, to wield it against the other side. This is sadly, what partisans on both sides seek.

@jimsciutto He gets the easy questions wrong so often

I’ve met many of these Afghan vets - both in Afghanistan and here in the U.S. - as have many lawmakers from both parties. They risked their lives alongside U.S. forces and believed the U.S. would honor its commitments. This is a stunning blow to this community.

Every moronic left wing nostrum that can only result in failure is given a decade long runway before we acquire enough data to confirm that it was a failure and then meekly retreat until the next moronic nostrum to invest a decade of time and money in pursuing emerges. The urgent necessity that no one knows how to do is to shut down this pipeline before it can inflict a decade of further harm.

The administration has decided that because of the Supreme Court decision, it will now give back more than $166 billion collected in tariffs. In the history of the worst self-inflicted policy debacles, the administration’s tariff policies should be on the short list. There is no redeeming value at all to the whole sordid affair. They were wasteful of government time and money. They harmed the economy and US companies and did nothing to restore US manufacturing. They fleeced consumers who will not get the money back that was paid in higher prices. Since the administration is now reimbursing US companies, it’s admitting by its actions (if not its words) that that the tariff critics were right all along and that Trump was obviously wrong. That is the very definition of failure. They set a terrible legal precedent that thankfully the Supreme Court corrected, but which along with other instances of bending the law, generally undermine the rule of law. Any other money collected from tariffs that still remain in the US Treasury were still taken out of the US private economy and thus is still not available for investment, hiring new employees, paying wages and other things that American companies need to do. They represented a blatant abdication of Congress’s constitutional role in our system of government. Did I leave a behind out?
