A good reminder that because I'm not a conservative commentator, no one will pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights for democracy and built Democracy Docket from scratch. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

I can't excerpt this entire article so I am imploring you to read it. @amarpeterman.bsky.social takes a complicated Q of how those on the left should respond to Trump's flip-flop on Epstein Files and flips it into a careful, thoughtful, analysis and explanation. I am floored by Amar's work.
Is the Epstein Controversy an Apocalyptic Moment for the MAGA Movement?
Trump’s 180-degree turn on the Epstein files has not gone unnoticed by his base. Will it matter?

No matter what you believe politically or theologically about the LGBTQ+ community, the elimination of this lifeline should infuriate all of us.

It is discrimination.

It is fearmongering.

It is homophobia.

It is hate.

It is polarized partisanship.

It is death-dealing action.
and yet, death
what defunding the suicide and crisis lifeline reminds us about maga america

I’ve had enough of “Christians” who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus…but would fail to recognize Jesus if he stood at the southern border, at the grocery store with an EBT card, or in the hospital waiting room without health insurance.

"If our most powerful elites are now essentially beyond the reach of accountability, as they increasingly seem to be, then why suppose that our polity qualifies as a democratic republic at all? It appears to function, rather, as a plutocracy."

"May we learn that living things do not live just for us, that they live for themselves and for you, and that they love the sweetness of life as much as we do, and serve you, in their place, better than we do in ours."

Pre-orders for my first book, "Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local," are now available!

At the heart of this book is a simple but critical question: How will we live? I believe the answer for Christians is clear: We live as neighbors.

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

@warren.senate.gov publishes a report listing all the $$ that Congress gave to DOD to do DOD things that DOD instead spent on Stephen Miller's snatch and grab.

As you look at these numbers, think how much cancer research could have been funded.
