I don't follow an elephant. I don't follow a donkey. I follow the Lamb and his Name is Jesus. #kingdom of God #TCBeginAgain

Progressives tend to understand that a lack of social justice and inclusion harm people.

Conservatives tend to understand that a lack of order and structure harm people.

Biblical wisdom tells us all the above harm humanity.

The Word of God transcends human ideology.

The reason why Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison. Heck, the Guilded Age guys are kicking themselves for being born in the wrong century. There's much more dirty money to be made now.

New pod: THE TRUMP 2026 CORRUPTION DRAFT

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. That’s not just my personal opinion, or the NYT’s conclusion, although it is both. Several conservative commentators, including Ann Coulter, have said the same. Between the multi-hundred-million-dollar crypto rug pulls, the pardons offered to convicted crooks who give Trump money, the bribes accepted from foreign governments, the billions of dollars of Pentagon contracts awarded to firms that are openly paying the president’s family, the market manipulation on social media, and the wholesale firing of inspectors general to look into this whole mishegas, it’s hard to keep track of the entire corruption picture.

So, today, I thought we’d do something a little Ringery and Bill Simmonsy to guide people through, and fully explain, the worst corruption scandals of the administration.

I brought on Tangle founder @Ike_Saul—an eminently fair journalist who has written tens of thousands of words covering Trump’s corruption scandals—to have a Trump Corruption Scandal Draft. You know how it works. He picks the worst scandal. I pick the worst remaining scandal. And back and forth we go, working out way down the Big Board of Trump scandals, to share and explain what the administration is getting away with and what matters most.

It was incredibly fun and incredibly depressing. Other presidents have a Teapot Dome scandal, a Crédit Mobilier scandal, shameful pardons, family members cashing in on influence, and patronage machines. Trump and his family seem to have taken each corruption scandal in American history as inspiration to do something 10x bigger in each case.

NEW: Last month, Pope Leo XIV said, “Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain.”

Two weeks later, a 22-foot golden Trump was blessed by MAGA evangelical leaders at Doral.

Here’s the full story. https://t.co/UKwsgxBox5

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Lord commands us to love one another as He has loved us (cf. Jn 13:34): it is the love of Jesus that gives birth to love in us. Christ Himself is the criterion of true love: love that is faithful forever, pure and unconditional, love that gives without wanting to possess. #GospelOfTheDay

[Tom Wright @profntwright]

The gospel writers saw the events concerning Jesus, particularly his kingdom-inaugurating life, death, and resurrection, not just as isolated events to which remote prophets might have distantly pointed. They saw those events as bringing the long story of Israel to its proper goal, even though that long story had apparently become lost, stuck, and all but forgotten.

But, you may say, what’s the point of telling the story of Jesus as the climax of the story of Israel? What relevance has that got to the rest of the human race and to the wider world? Here we touch on another point of foundational importance for the whole of early Christian thought and life. Understand this point, and you will understand almost everything. In Israel’s scriptures, the reason Israel’s story matters is that the creator of the world has chosen and called Israel to be the people through whom he will redeem the world. The call of Abraham is the answer to the sin of Adam. Israel’s story is thus the microcosm and beating heart of the world’s story, but also its ultimate saving energy. What God does for Israel is what God is doing in relation to the whole world. That is what it meant to be Israel, to be the people who, for better and worse, carried the destiny of the world on their shoulders. Grasp that, and you have a pathway into the heart of the New Testament.

Donald Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to the Republican Party, the conservative movement, American politics, and respect for America around the world.

Never Trumpers have been right since the moment he came down the golden escalator.
