@mckaycoppins @bobsmietana @JeffreyGoldberg Terrific essay, and excellent writing. Thank you — I hope the mixer proves more reliable than your parlays!

I didn’t win any money gambling but Annie got her KitchenAid mixer in the end, along with a thank-you note from @JeffreyGoldberg. (He says he’ll buy her a Viking stove after I complete my next assignment, “My Summer of Drunk Skydiving.”) theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Watching postliberal protestants fight with postliberal Catholics over whose sectarian vision of postliberal America will win out feels very... like the exact problem liberalism was designed to avoid.
William Wolfe 🇺🇸@WilliamWolfe
You do realize the only reason Trump won—both times—is because evangelicals (Protestants) voted for him at higher rates than any other religious group in America? If we were at the mercy of Catholic laity voting patterns, we’d be in the fifth consecutive Democrat presidency since Obama took over in 2008. Now, there is no doubt that Catholic elites dominate the overall conservative movement. But they are a head on a body that doesn’t belong to them. And yes, we should solve that puzzle.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is wrong about most social issues, but she's right about this one. I give her a lot of credit for speaking out. Very, very few politicians--Republican or Democrat--are willing to do so.

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@AndrewTWalker Incubus for me. No coffee, either. Still chasing that “3am and page 9 of 12 in an absolute flow state” feeling
English
What a great post. This is me circa 2007, staying up to 2 AM, drinking coffee with absolutely dank creamer that will probably cost me several years of life, along with Dashboard Confessional blaring in the background.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

@MidasMulligan10 (and more insidious to the faith than those denying faith outright)
English
@MidasMulligan10 Best case, a nonbeliever trying to appeal to believers for some transactional reason. Worst case, some see this as a laudable example of faith and are inevitably led astray.
I see what you’re saying. I just find this sort of thing gross.
English
Hard disagree — for the flourishing of the gospel, it’s probably worse!

@FeserEdward I would rather have an authentically faithful man in the White House, but lip service is better than atheism
English
@MidasMulligan10 When Biden was painting the WH in rainbow lighting and Obama was suing nuns, at least we knew what we were up against. This is far more subtle, but still dangerous, I think.
English
@MidasMulligan10 I think affirming or proclaiming Christ in such a public way (and doing nothing else) doesn’t actually do anything of value for the Kingdom.
English
@MidasMulligan10 Correct, which is why I prefer no such announcement from him on plans to “rededicate” the nation (whatever that means). He can be president without being faithful; he shouldn’t offer performative gestures in the name of faith.
English
@danielrbenn It could be, if Trump claimed to be holy. But he does not claim to be good or faithful. See his comments during the second term about expecting he cannot enter Heaven due to his sins

I'm not sure that the US Constitution is "unamendable" so much as we gave up on amending it through the constitutional process once it became apparent it was easier to de facto amend it via judicial interpretation. Until circa 1970 new amendments were enacted fairly regularly.
Richard Albert@RichardAlbert
🎉 I have accepted an offer to publish my paper "Is an Unamendable Constitution Undemocratic?" with the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law @PennJCL! 📝 In the paper, I make the case that unamendability is not a technology worth encoding in any constitution. I draw from the results of a first-of-its-kind global survey of constitutional experts to show that unamendability takes a toll on both legality and legitimacy. 📜 My principal purpose in the paper is to steer constitution-makers away from designing constitutions that induce incumbents to follow the path of illegality when they feel handcuffed to an unamendable constitution. I offer detailed recommendations for designing constitutions to be always amendable, while simultaneously protecting the core of the constitution and its highest values. 📰 The full-text of the paper is available here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. 🙏🏽 Thank you to the editors of the @PennJCL for accepting my paper!

It’s great that Arkansas is the first state in the South with universal free school breakfast - and even more exciting to see it in action where I used to go to school!
