Adam Kotsko has dipped his toes into the Paul Within Judaism literature and written a critique of it. Since I'm the person who alerted him to Matthew Novenson's work, I take some responsibility for this. I have some (friendly but critical) thoughts.

This is existential for Trump. MTG is creating a permission structure for MAGA (not just moderate GOP who never really loved Trump) to break with him decisively. If he can’t put this rebellion down it’s gonna get real bad for him real quick

This new book by @collincornell.bsky.social just arrived at my door. Here's an excerpt from Brent Strawn's endorsement: "Read this book to be educated. Read this book to have your mind changed. Read this book to be inspired. Most of all, just read this book. God draws near, indeed." Congrats!

Yellen is absolutely right, but as far as feeling sorry for corporations, businesses, and capital that supported the campaign and the early months of the regime? Well, tough shit.

It was all there, right in front of you. You could’ve put your capital against it, but you didn’t.
YELLEN: “.. businesses feel paralyzed by the uncertainty about policies that represent the strong but really personal whims of a single individual.”

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

i so enjoyed reading this piece by cambria kaltwasser for reformed journal—highly recommend

I was raised with a freedom to ask questions about my faith. I didn't have the sort of fundamentalist baggage that I now discover many of my evangelical peers have. I definitely never had any hang-ups...
