I don’t even know which side you’re insisting with such certainty doesn’t participate in political violence. But whatever you’re arguing, just the last few years would strongly suggest you’re wrong.

I spoke with Utah's grieving governor about his state, America's dangerous spiral, and what social media is doing to us. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

(Chaffetz, notably, resigned from Congress a month later, joined Fox News, and has enjoyed an apparently successful media career as a pro-Trump pundit/talking head/author.) Anyway, here's the link to that interview:

Solid picks. (Nominating El Scorcho!)

In this context, Lee's recent tweets about the murder of two Minnesota lawmakers inevitably became a subject of discussion at his church's headquarters, as @sambbenson.bsky.social reports. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Mike Lee has moved in the opposite direction in recent years, as many (including my colleague Tim Alberta) have documented. So the church is in an awkward position where its message is being actively undermined by the faith's most prominent elected official.

Some context: Leaders of the traditionally conservative LDS church have spent the past decade preaching depolarization. While other churches embrace Christian nationalism, the message from Salt Lake has been "moderate and unify," build "bridges of understanding," "be peacemakers"

Thank you! Glad you like it!
