Episcopal Problems: When people talk about how mad they are about ABC, and your first thought is "The See of Canterbury is still vacant--there is no Archbishop of Canterbury at the moment"

Union between the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church is always possible, not just because of our shared faith in the risen Christ and the Episcopate, but also because of our shared antipathy to food served at Church Governance functions 🤣

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

I think the question at this point isn't when the Trump administration is going to "accidentally" deport a US Citizen to El Salvador's prison and then say that they can't bring them back, but when.

I'm excited for this. I feel like TX Senate races are always Lucy with the football with Charlie Brown running at it for Dems--but a nasty primary, a collapsing economy, and Allred running again might just let us take it. PARTICULARLY if Paxton wins the primary.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth. But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

As someone who once aspired to public office, I can't imagine sinking your life, time, money, &energy into getting elected to make a difference--then staying silent as policies harm your constituents and our nation. Why did you run if you will stay silent in order to get re-elected to remain silent.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.
