After watching the first half of this game, I still can’t believe it.

This is a story that Judge Jeffrey Sutton shares about an encounter late in my dad's life, when he bought his friend Ruth two dozen roses for her birthday. "Some things in life are more important than votes."

Let’s set aside politics today and remember the incredible life on one of our nation’s most dedicated and persevering change agents. Justice Ginsburg—thank you for your lifelong commitment to justice and equality.

[Connor Alexander @Connor_Wayne]

“Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”

If you haven’t transferred your worry and anxiety over to Jesus, you haven’t finished praying.

@NPR Hurricane Laura knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of utility customers in Louisiana and Texas and forced thousands to evacuate. https://t.co/iVvTPb5TXa

[NPR @NPR]

Only one other storm is known to have hit Louisiana with as much raw power as Hurricane Laura: Last Island in 1856, which also had 150 mph winds, according to meteorologist Philip Klotzbach. https://t.co/aA8zDSjWyY

The way we deal with uncertainty says a lot about whether Jesus is ahead of us leading or just behind us carrying our stuff.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

What *some* colleges are doing isn't so far from a bait-and-switch. Lay out implausible conditions under which college could commence w/o COVID spread. Get tuition on premise of an in-person experience. Blame students when the conditions are inevitably violated. Then go online.

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

Loving others is not optional. As followers of Jesus, we don’t get to love certain people and not others.

Great news for the Forty Acres! @JCHartzell has demonstrated tactful and compassionate decision-making throughout this difficult time of uncertainty. The UT community is in excellent hands.

Folks, some states have lags in reporting negative tests. They'll report positive tests fairly quickly, and then negative tests after a further lag. This is common in many states. That's what's happening here. The positive test rate in OK isn't 100%.

[Connor Alexander @Connor_Wayne]

Excellent resource. A standardized national approach to analyze the pandemic and make recommendations for action is essential to slowing the spread of COVID-19.

[NPR @NPR]

How severe is the spread of COVID-19 in your community?

As cases surge in many states, a new color-coding tool backed by a coalition of top scientists aims to give an apples-to-apples way of comparing outbreak severity — down to the county level.

“To those officials who betray the trust of the people of the US by leaking classified information, your actions endanger our national security.”

This highly sensitive situation is made more complicated because of these intel leaks—unacceptable no matter the motivation.

This is just the latest global ranking to recognize UT as one of the world’s best universities: https://t.co/bUIeDifYOr
