Spoke with @MollyOlmstead about how “teleportation” is not that outlandish for some Pentecostals/Charismatics since they “perceive anything that is mentioned in the Bible as feasible today… God does not change… those same miracles can and do occur now.” slate.com/life/2026/04/a…

I spoke to @Slate @MollyOlmstead about why influencers who go to CECOT -El Salvador concentration camp where innocent immigrants are dropped- reflect Bukele’s obsession for international attention. slate.com/life/2025/04/c…

@jclarketown oh thank you!!

@MollyOlmstead I read your piece this morning— exceptionally well done

Before going to a NAR event, I didn't fully realize, emotionally, the implications of preaching Trump's enemies are controlled by demonic forces. It's almost empathetic—It's not their fault as *people*, they're possessed! But it's a wildly powerful idea: slate.com/news-and-polit…

@MrDrew_Taylor This is so kind of you! Thank you!

I'm a fan of @MollyOlmstead's work at Slate. One of her strong suits is analyzing politics through the lens of religion. Her 2022 piece on EWTN was a great example of that. Another was on J.D. Vance's particular brand of Catholicism and his rhetoric. slate.com/life/2024/08/j…

@YakuzaDiary @Slate @NewYorker thank you!

@MollyOlmstead Sent by God is truly exceptional journalism @MollyOlmstead @Slate @NewYorker apple.news/AqWDp7217SjyfI…

@PhoebePetrovic thank you!!!

Today @allisonmeakem and I launched our monthly international fiction column at @ForeignPolicy! We review @hishamjmatar's My Friends and @jo_hamya's The Hypocrite—and round up September releases: foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/20/int…

There were a lot of fantastic journalists at The Messenger, who deserved so much better than this

Great reporting from @MollyOlmstead talking to residents of Eagle Pass, Texas. The outsiders who’ve invaded their town and upended their lives are not the migrants. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Pope Francis’ move announced today allowing priests to bless same-sex relationships comes a month after he finally did something about the right-wing revolt in the Catholic church that had been brewing against him for some time. @MollyOlmstead explains: slate.com/news-and-polit…

Read @mollyolmstead on #SoundofFreedom to understand both the reality of its subject and why the movie is so appealing to so many. slate.com/news-and-polit…

On Uvalde: People in the state government who have seen all the evidence say “I can’t sleep at night because of what I saw.” Right. If we could all see it, *no one* could sleep until there was meaningful change. Thank you @MollyOlmstead via @Slate slate.com/news-and-polit… #TxLege

"It’s just murder for murder. You're just killing one more person and creating this whole set of victims." --> I Watched My Brother’s Lethal Injection No one understands what this is like slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate @MollyOlmstead #deathpenalty #Arizona

@Sarazonah @kchitwood this is so cool, Sarah!

The Pope's Exorcist is extremely silly (I enjoyed it!), but as I watched it I couldn't stop thinking... I can't believe the real-life exorcists are mad about this slate.com/human-interest…

Had a delightful conversation with @DrFrancisYoung about a strange scandal over the coronation invitations and the "hint of the nature worshiper" in King Charles slate.com/news-and-polit…
