Just watched Stephen Colbert's officially-censored interview with Rep. James Talarico and was quite impressed. As a Presbyterian Seminarian, Talarico has clearly spent much time and effort contemplating the scripture and has concluded that so-called "Christian Nationalism" is clearly not Christian.

“If you want a fair, long-term resolution in Ukraine, you have to better arm Ukraine.
You have to give them long-range missiles. You have to provide them with truly adequate, functioning air defense systems.
That’s the only thing Putin will understand.”

Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."
