@dallasnews Subscriber feedback here on today’s new e-edition: I am sure you want new revenue from the ads at the top that it appears we can’t get rid of, but this change is annoying. Loved the former format. Dislike this change. Navigation also harder.
I'm so thrilled to announce today is my first day at the Dallas Morning News covering faith and religion! It's great to be back at @dallasnews. Got a story idea or want to tell me about your community in North Texas? Let's chat: [email protected]🗞️🖋️

Sorry, but that’s the price we pay for living in a pluralistic democracy. We don’t always get our way. Your approach will end up fracturing our public life all the more.
Texans shouldn’t pay for programs that undermine their beliefs.
As Comptroller, I’ll make sure every state dollar reflects our priorities, safety, growth, and freedom, not a woke agenda.
Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?
And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.
@Evan_P_Grant Shana Tova, Evan. Too bad it’s too late for a fresh start for the Rangers. Never too late for some teshuva for a season of repeatedly missing the mark. But then, that’s the way baseball go.
Michael Wear gets this just right:
“It is not just the act of violence but the spirit of violence that must be opposed. It is not just the action to harm another which must be opposed ...
but the desire that harm would fall to another. If we do not have the courage to pursue a politics of love, our political heart will become consumed by hate.”
