In Ps. 101:2 today: 'I want to study the way of integrity.' Not that we ever arrive, but we can be a student of integrity. Wholeness. Neighborliness. Suspect the algorithms & rage bait. Do not concede the rights of your neighbor. Live compassionately. Integrity is my work today.

Too much of the tribalism we see is instigated by people who cloak themselves in the Gospel. Claiming Christ's vision of unity & transformational grace is essential. It's an expansive grace, never intended to marginalize anyone. Here is my All Saints sermon from yesterday. youtu.be/xgxnLX2CWLY

Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.

A Christianity that believes it needs a president, legislation and a government to ensure its survival is a Christianity that is centered on the worship of its own power rather than faithfully relying on the power of God.

They're staffers in their mid 30s. One of them is a sitting State Senator. Vance needs to stop normalizing this hatred.
I’m not sure he’d say the same thing if they were Charlie Kirk jokes
What he means here is, "this is what I did when I was a kid."

In Ps. 35:20: 'They don't speak the truth; instead they plot false accusations against innocent people in the land.' Those who are weaponizing the Christian faith are not grounded in the gospel. Unite with love of neighbor. Live ubuntu. Speaking the truth is my work today.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

I work with and cut deals with CIs (confidential informants) all the time in my line of work. Just keep in mind that people don’t become CIs for law enforcement unless law enforcement has them by the balls.

States are not “agents” of the federal government when it comes to federal elections and the President *literally* has nothing to do with how they administer them. Also didn’t they spend years blaming Dominion Voting Systems for “switching votes”??

These numbers for ice are insane
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
