Thirty-five years ago when I was writing the first chapter of my dissertation on 2 Chronicles 7, I never could have guessed.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Or just factually incorrect.

When it comes to campaign financing and corruption, I sense that the cash differential gets too little attention. Policy decisions that produce tens of billions of dollars in benefits for wealthy individuals and corporations come in exchange for campaign contributions of a few million dollars.

Once you've seen this, it seems like you could only be a creationist if you thought God had access to LSD.

But I should feel completely confident sharing the road with Waymo driverless taxis.

Sometimes it seems like their only argument is to change the definitions of all the words and claim that Dear Leader operates with his own private dictionary.

Marc Elias is a champion of democracy.

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans.

After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company.

Now, the states have won.

Just was "doctrine?" There's a just war theory, but it's kinda shitty.

When Vance claims he does not think war is a moral issue, I think we should believe him.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Why do people think the Trump Jesus picture is anything new?

Nobody gets to decide anybody else's religion. We all get to say what our own religion is. If Vance says he is a Christian, then he is. All I can say is that his observable behavior is inconsistent with my understanding of the gospel.

It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.

Helpful reminder from @josephkelly.bsky.social.

I am anti-war, anti-slavery, and anti-racism but you cannot arrive at any of those positions using just the Bible. Both the Old and New Testaments participate in war, slavery, and racism in complex ways.

Putin's Puppet Project in Peril - emptywheel JD Vance took time out of Trump's Crusades against Iran to tamper in Hungary's election not just because Viktor Orbán is the ideological figurehead of the far right, but because Hungary serves as a ke...

"Orbán is not just the puppet that gives this packaged ideology a European face...He oversees the money laundering vehicles to fund the larger network." @emptywheel.bsky.social emptywheel.net/2026/04/07/p...

What if there were a transfer portal for university faculty?

Seems unwise for a coach to be renegotiating his contract the day before a Final Four game, especially when his team gets blown out the next day.

Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens.

Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth.

Do you think Marco will now self-deport?

A for analysis.
A+ for "This court full of jamokes."

Courage looks like this!

Why do people walk in the bike lane? Just stop.
