Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson STUNNED by my simple question: Why are you so unpopular?

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

A very annoying thing that happens now is that people who know nothing about a subject will "consult" AI, get the wrong information, and then try to "correct" you on a subject you actually know something about. They treat AI like the Oracle of Delphi

@ericlu @grok can you decipher this font?

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Earlier this month, I graduated with my degree in Economics and Law, Letters, & Society. So grateful for the intensive research, opportunities to moderate incredible discussions at the Institute of Politics, and the community I found. On to the next chapter!

Months before the Supreme Court ever ruled, I had a feeling exactly this would happen. An executive order was never going to be strong enough to permanently fix birthright citizenship, no matter how good the intentions behind it were. That's why I filed a constitutional amendment early this year instead of waiting around to see how the courts would rule.

This decision confirms what I already suspected. If we want real, lasting change, it has to come through the amendment process.

Today was the first time I've missed a flight. @zingales_ would be proud that I officially don't spend too much time in airports.

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).

I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.

Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).

Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.

Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.

Chicago’s clown mayor Brandon Johnson declared a “state of emergency” over the alleged epidemic of trans people being murdered in the city.

POP QUIZ: can you guess how many trans people were murdered in the entire state of Illinois last year?

50?

25?

Try zero. Yes, zero.
