There's a strange belief on the right that manufacturing jobs are the holy grail of working-class jobs. When, in reality, generations of factory workers worked hard to send kids to college so they didn't have to work on the line. They didn't want their families to work on the line forever.

Spent the morning with MO Legislators and this awesome group of moms (with kids!) for Moms Demans Action for Gun Sense in America. Preventable, sad stories led to so many being there. It was a great experience and I appreciate those who took the time to meet with us…including my own representative!

It takes an unfathomable amount of incompetence to alienate Japan and South Korea to such a degree that they lock arms with China against the United States.

So stupid. So dumb. So bad for the United States.

Mr. Gillcrist, a veteran, Catholic, and previously a teacher at my son’s school was tackled by parishioners for what they deemed an “inappropriate prayer”. Let that sink in…tackled in church for words. Physically attacked in response to a prayer that he wasn’t allowed to finish.

"This is how a soulless calculator thinks. It’s not about who’s killing whom. It’s about who has the cards or the chips." This isn't an offhand remark; it's the key to Trump's view of power. @saletan.bsky.social on Trump's broken analogy for foreign policy:

Something to bookmark:

Potash is essential for modern agriculture.

**Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*.

Trump won’t admit it, but Canadian potash fuels American agriculture
More than 80 per cent of the potash used by U.S. farmers comes from Canadian mines, and the costs could skyrocket should tariffs happen

Let me make two things clear about the current religion landscape and what the future will look like.

1. The rise of the Nones has hit a plateau recently.

2. That won't last. Gen Z is ~45% Nones. Boomers are ~28%.

Generational replacement means the Nones will continue to rise

Mona Charen, David French and Russell Moore…the faith leaders that have Trump’s ear are the leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation.
