However, sometimes committees work *against* the clear will of the messengers, or ignore the work of another committee (even one appointed by Bart).

And sometimes it takes floor action by messengers to convince an Executive Committee to change its policy.

[Bart Barber @bartbarber]

This measure had been drafted by a committee, reviewed by the Executive Board, submitted in advance for public comment, and written carefully in the light of public comment. As a result the floor, open for discussion, saw none. It was adopted almost unanimously.

India overtook China as the world's most populous country in 2023, according to UN estimates.

@UnitedStandMUFC @TelegraphDucker Not as possible as relegation.

@3YearLetterman @BrothelNevada @MarthaStewart I'm not great with historic pictures. That's our second President, Paul Giamatti, right?

@Rinnaviolinist @UnitedStandMUFC @JacobsBen Can he play LB too?

@iowahawkblog I used to be skeptical when they call it "Harvard of the West."

Religious women are almost twice as likely to be happy - especially Baptist women. 👇🏽

[Andrew T. Walker @AndrewTWalker]

It's really a mystery why the dissident "Christian" Right is collapsing into fringe, gutter-level irrelevance.

@mpatrickriley So Kid Rock turned it down?

[Matt Schaefer @RepMattSchaefer]

Stop the “Texas election was stolen” bit. The election will be certified by the Republican Abbott hand picked to be Secretary of State, under the oversight of the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. There will be no intervention by the U.S. Attorney General appointed by President Trump.

When the dying cult starts drinking the kool-aid, there are two types of 3rd-tier leaders:

1) The ones who drink the kool-aid first.

2) The ones who shoot everyone who won't drink, then try to save their own lives.

@dandarling But wait...imagine Paxton as AG.

Pop quiz: Which one attended/attends a seminary whose founder was a white supremacist slaveholder? ��

[Ed Stetzer @edstetzer]

Fascinating.

And, two @SWBTS (and two Harvard) grads!

@dandarling I think I know what you mean, but I'd call Talarico nice, not decent. He certainly isn't decent by any moral standard I'd embrace.

"Abortion is so back, baby!"

How ironic. That "baby" at the end reminds us how their celebration is really a bloodthirsty threat.

[Kristan Hawkins @KristanHawkins]

This is what they voted for last night in Virginia, Missouri, and Nevada.

When the GOP has weak leadership and refuses to fight abortion, we lose elections and babies die.

A few months back Ezra Klein gave a theory of social media and politics that I haven't been able to stop thinking about.

"Whoever wins Twitter pays for it 3-4 years later."

@MattSmethurst Not by me! 🙌

Talarico: "treat politics like a sacrament" 👀

Grade-A CN at first blush.

But stick around for his final comment, which sounds more like Pantheistic Nationalism:

"To me, an incarnational politics would take seriously that idea that every person is God."

[Thomas S. Kidd @ThomasSKidd]

The religious left has completely lost the churches, but its ethos persists in much of elite secular society. Thus we have Talarico, Hamilton, and Warnock in the Senate, but the left conveniently seems to have forgotten to freak out about "Christian nationalism."

@marcminter I was unclear. Her pattern of misinterpretation is what's consistent.
