If people can’t see Christ in the Christian, then reading the entire Bible out loud in one week doesn’t really matter

Takeaways From the Supreme Court’s Shadow Papers

The beneficiaries aren’t hard to identify: Big business + the evangelical right; an alliance decades in the making. Now it sets the Court’s direction.

@jodikantor.bsky.social & @adamliptak.bsky.social bombshell brings a blurry picture into focus:

The shadow docket + Dobbs decision are difft tactics, same strategy: set aside precedent whenever it blocks policy goals. (1/2)

Trump had time for the Easter Egg Roll on Monday. Just not for church on Resurrection Sunday?

The most Christian president ever. People are saying.

It happened again. It always happens.

Trump discards loyalists the moment they won’t bend the law or can’t deliver what the courts won’t allow.

Sessions. Barr. Pence. etc. Now Pam Bondi.

The pattern never changes. Only the names do.

You don't stop a fight because of the round number.

If a fighter can go another round — if he can still throw a punch & stand his ground — you let him fight. (I see you @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social).

Age isn’t the question. Ability is.

Opinion | Colorado Gov. Jared Polis shouldn’t free Tina Peters Anthony Coley: Capitulation doesn’t end pressure. It invites more of it.

Mercy should follow genuine remorse. Genuine remorse means taking responsibility for your actions. Tina Peters has chosen defiance.

If it was fair game to grill Fani Willis about her relationship with Nathan Wade, it is absolutely fair game for @RepKamlagerDove to ask Kristi Noem if she is sleeping with her subordinate Corey Lewandowski

Record Numbers of Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k) Savings A divergent economy has given people record retirement savings and more need to dig into them.

But the affordability crisis is a "hoax"

WSJ (gift link): More Americans are digging into their retirement savings because of financial emergencies.
The data paint a divergent financial picture of American workers’ finance

Fun Fact: Trump's AGs last, on average, 21 months. Bondi is at month 13 — and 5 GOPers just joined Dems to subpoena her over Epstein. She's been on thin ice since she 'whiffed' — Susie Wiles' word — on the files early on. Prediction: gone by Labor Day. Festivus at the latest.

Opinion | Trump's short-sighted decision to weaken the FBI before attacking Iran Anthony Coley: Before attacking Iran, Trump made the U.S. less safe

9/11 proved that when we fail to connect the dots, Americans can die.

Trump’s purges have gotten rid of people and weakened systems responsible for connecting them.

Using law enforcement to intimidate journalists doesn't just silence one voice; it creates a chilling effect designed to blind the public and muzzle the free press.

This raid is a frontal assault on the 1st Amendment. Hannah provided a secure channel for whistleblowers to expose the corrupt and immoral subversion of the presidency, and THAT is why she was targeted....

Can we go back to disliking Jim Comey now?

That October ’16 hit on Hillary still stings.

But why does that lady already have her Christmas tree up? [my inner dialogue 🤦🏾‍♂️ 😂]

Fox News Poll: Voters say White House is doing more harm than good on economy Trump's approval hits new lows as 76% view economy negatively in the latest Fox News poll. Rising costs for groceries, utilities spark voter dissatisfaction nationwide.

Just brutal numbers for Trump in latest Fox News polling
—76% of voters view the economy negatively.
— Voters blame the president. About twice as many say President Donald Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy.

What I told Amie Parnes @thehill.com why my views on Schumer are changing…

In Epstein Case, Follow the Money, Democratic Senator Says

2. Dems like Ron Wyde were on the Epstein money trail *years* before this latest noise.👇

Let’s clear up this lazy GOP spin that Dems were “MIA” on Epstein during the Biden Administration. 🧵

1. The Biden DOJ couldn’t release the files while Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal was pending — even felons get due process. SCOTUS closed that chapter, declining to hear her appeal last month.

Inside the backroom negotiations that led to the shutdown deal For many of the Democrats who eventually supported the Republican spending bill, the shutdown strategy was one they were never comfortable with.

Gillibrand and Schumer are clearly not playing about Collins’ Maine Senate seat.

Setting aside Halligan’s failure to set attribution terms, she/her team are clearly violating grand jury secrecy rules — here and in other outlets (including the NY Post).

Rookie mistakes all around. 🤦🏾‍♂️

For Trump, the process is the punishment…

Ex-Congressman George Santos Sentenced to 87 Months in Prison for Wire Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft “Today, George Santos was finally held accountable for the mountain of lies, theft, and fraud he perpetrated.  For the defendant, it was judgment day, and for his many victims including campaign donor...

Why Santos was serving 87 Months:

Filed Fraudulent FEC Reports

Embezzled Funds from Campaign Donors

Stole Identities

Charged Credit Cards w/o Authorization

Obtained Unemployment Benefits Through Fraud

Quick thoughts on this Bolton indictment
1. VERY serious set of facts presented
2. VERY difft from the flimsy, weak indictments against James & Comey
3. Govt is also trying case in court of public opinion. Defense has credible motions re: violations of grand jury secrecy rules
