Also Trump (a few months later): “We’re cutting tariffs to help with the cost of living!”
Economists: “So… you admit it?”

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."
Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

Marjorie Taylor Green read the writing on the wall & promptly broke with Trump.
Dems won Georgia’s Public Service Commission elections by 25-point landslides—their largest for any office since 1998—and improved over 2024 everywhere.
These maps compare results by state House district for:
2024 president (left) - 96-84 Trump majority
2025 PSC seat 3 (right) - 115-65 Dem majority

“When state institutions are captured, scientists must find new ways to speak up for science. The privilege of working in your own academic or clinical bubble is gone.”
New reflections from me about the challenge of countering disinformation when the state itself is distributing it

That's why I voted YES on this year's budget, which increases state support to our local libraries and invests in our treasured community institutions without raising taxes.

Our local libraries are truly at the heart of our communities. In addition to the shelves of amazing books available to read, they connect our neighbors to education and employment resources, provide support services, and offer a variety of cultural experiences.

This is a core element of conservative philosophy: If a single "undeserving" person is getting a government benefit, the answer is to take it away from millions.*
*Offer does not apply to tax loopholes or any other benefit enjoyed by the wealthy

“The BBC is far from perfect but it remains the most trusted news source in the world. In a world where billionaires are buying up local, national and international media platforms, the BBC remains unowned and with a mandate of independent impartiality.”
"On another occasion, a BBC executive forbade me from writing for the New Statesman, imploring me to ask The Spectator instead, saying that would be perfectly fine."

“Why would a prominent venture capitalist [Peter Thiel ally Marc Andreessen] bristle at a pope calling for basic ethics? Because Pope Leo XIV may be the one authority on earth that Big Tech cannot control.” 1/
A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.
The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.
It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.

Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

Worth remembering that the Christian nationalism that fueled the empires in The Great War seeded Europe's turn away from Christianity for the next century.
Historically, Christian nationalism is the enemy of true faith. It is a false gospel whose fruits are known mostly in war.
