@aelluswamy @DavidMoss You’re actively discouraging user preferences in driving by incentivizing streaks. Users are less likely to correct a behavior if it means breaking the streak.

Statement regarding Mrs. Carrie Prejean Boller

In recent days, I have become aware of the removal of Mrs. Carrie Prejean Boller from the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission, along with the public accusations that have followed. After reviewing her account and the circumstances surrounding this matter, I believe it is necessary to speak plainly.

Ms. Boller has been treated unjustly.

A Catholic woman, speaking from a well-formed conscience and in fidelity to the teachings of the Church, has been publicly criticized and removed – yet no clear, substantiated reason has been provided. Such a lack of transparency does not serve justice. It damages reputations and undermines trust.

More troubling still is the apparent cause: that she raised legitimate questions about Zionism and defended the simple truth that Catholics are not bound to any political ideology.

Let me be clear.

The Catholic Church does not teach that the modern State of Israel holds a divine mandate that must be supported by all believers. Nor does the Church teach that opposition to political Zionism is inherently antisemitic. These are not doctrines of the Catholic faith.

At the same time, the Church unequivocally rejects all hatred toward the Jewish people. Every human person is to be loved, defended, and treated with dignity. But this truth must not be distorted. To question the policies or actions of a modern nation – any nation – is not hatred. It is a moral responsibility when innocent life is at stake.

We are witnessing great suffering in the Holy Land. Innocent men, women, and children – especially in Gaza – have endured immense devastation. To speak on behalf of human life, wherever it is threatened, is not political extremism. It is fidelity to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mrs. Boller did what many are now afraid to do: she spoke.

She spoke for Catholics who are increasingly pressured to conform to political narratives that do not reflect the fullness of our faith. She spoke to ensure that antisemitism is not wrongly conflated with legitimate moral concern. She spoke for the dignity of all human life – Jew and Palestinian alike.

For this, she has been mischaracterized.

It is especially disheartening when such treatment appears to come, in part, from those within the Church who should be the first to defend the faithful when they speak truthfully and in good conscience. Shepherds are called to protect, not to abandon; to clarify, not to confuse; to stand with the sheep, especially when they are under attack.

Silence in the face of injustice is not prudence. It is a failure of charity and truth. Therefore, I express my support for Mrs. Carrie Prejean Boller.

I affirm her right, as a Catholic and as an American, to speak clearly about matters of faith, morality, and public life without being unjustly labeled or removed without explanation. I also call for greater clarity and fairness from those responsible for her removal, so that truth – not speculation – may prevail.

This moment calls for courage.

Not political courage, but Christian courage – the kind that stands firmly in truth while remaining rooted in charity. We must reject hatred in all its forms, but we must also reject the misuse of that charge to silence those who speak in defense of life and moral truth.

Let us pray for peace in the Holy Land – for Jews, for Palestinians, and for all who suffer. And let us pray for the Church, that she may always speak with clarity, charity, and unwavering fidelity to Jesus Christ, who is the Truth.

In Christ,
Bishop Joseph E. Strickland

Hey @brian_armstrong, glad to hear you’re publicly supporting de minimis exemptions for Bitcoin.

Can you also confirm that you support keeping the open-source / non-custodial developer protections from the BRCA in the market structure bill?

And that these protections are non-negotiable?

While we’re here, it would be great for you to publicly state that you’re in favor of a full pardon for Bill and Keonne, the Samourai Wallet developers currently in federal prison.

Multiple Hill sources confirm: Coinbase is lobbying AGAINST Bitcoin de minimis tax exemptions

Their message to lawmakers: "Nobody uses Bitcoin as money" and "it would be DOA"

Meanwhile they're pushing stablecoin-only exemptions

@martybent exposes what's really happening

[Marty Bent @MartyBent]

Hearing that despite all the efforts and lobbying for bitcoin de minimis tax exemption, it’s none other than @coinbase trying to nuke it behind the scenes to push stablecoins only.

Apparently they are telling legislators that, “No one is using bitcoin as money. A de-minimis exemption for bitcoin is a hand out that will be DOA.”

@aukuschampion @OliLondonTV Nope

@politico So it is happening now? How soon until we get to the next phase

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I don’t care what is animating or annoying you, I don’t care what your political persuasion might be, invading a church is unacceptable and is a violation of religious liberty.

Do y’all know the concept of a “life verse”? I only learned about it a few months ago.

A life verse is a single passage of Scripture God uses to summarize His calling on your life. A spiritual north star, if you will — something that keeps you aligned when everything else gets noisy.

Of course, as soon as I learned what it was, I was constantly on the lookout for my own. And it wasn’t long before God revealed to me 2 Corinthians 12:9:

“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

For years, I couldn’t understand why God wasn’t healing me. I prayed constantly. I had thousands of people praying for me and over me. I had true faith — fully believing in the limitless power of God. I was reading my Bible and Christian books daily.

Yet nothing changed.

I was angry. Bitter. Sad. Most days I stayed fairly upbeat, but then there would come a day when I would feel so hurt and so confused that I would curse God.

All of that changed when I stopped expecting God to heal me and started asking God what He wanted from me.

A couple years later, Neuralink happened. And a year after that, I found this verse.

I had probably read it dozens of times before. But it means something different to me now. I understand it in a way I never did.

I believe my accident was one of the best things that ever happened to me. As hard as that is to believe, it put me in a position to grow closer to God and to share my faith on a huge platform that I never would have had otherwise.

And that only happened because I was never healed.

And I don’t think that’s an accident.

The verse doesn’t just say that God’s grace is enough — it says that the power of Christ rests on me because I’m weak.

Not in spite of it. Because of it.
In that, I will boast of my weaknesses. And there are many.

For God’s grace is sufficient for me.

God bless.
