I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.
Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Remember when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, we weren’t in a trade war with China, we didn’t have a day drunk for a Sec Def, a couch fucking Cabbage Patch doll for a VP, or an evil, incurious idiot for a president and we still funded cancer research?
Yeah, that was like three months ago.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.
Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.
Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.

I'm not sure I agree with Tyler Cowan that we've beaten inflation. I see the standard govt measures like CPI nearing 3%, but don't feel any relief yet. I understand that lower inflation doesn't mean prices come down from where they have moved, just think soem of the measures are overly optimistic. And I also see pressures that might keep inflation from dropping in the real world (shipping avoiding Suez/Red Sea for example). Fuel prices continue to bounce up and down, but $3/gallon gas seems to be on the low end of the norm now. And grocery prices continue to surprise me, as many items have nearly doubled in price compared to just a few years ago, and are going to stay there. Dismissing these prices and the psychological effect of them seems too convenient when discussing inflation and why we should really feel good about the economy.
