Honored to be included in this @notusperspectives.bsky.social piece on what Washington gets wrong about religion—and in such great company. My quote: “The right weaponizes religion. The left ignores it.” Faith is shaping public life. Democracy leaders can’t afford to cede it. tinyurl.com/2jvztp4x

Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire after shares of his rocket company SpaceX soared in its initial public offering. To put that figure in perspective, $1 trillion is enough money to spend $1 million every day for 2,740 years.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead
A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.
