Why is Beto my high-school youth pastor John mid-intense-illustration in his favorite sermon series of the year

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

Hell yeah. Doug is a decent guy and more of this is what we all need.

[Clare Foran @ckmarie]

Senator Doug Jones, a moderate Alabama Democrat up for re-election, voted with Republicans to advance the stimulus bill in a procedural vote just now.

Jones told @mkraju that he was “embarrassed” by the political games both sides are playing.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

The worst thing we can do in this moment is cynically use a national crisis for political expedience and partisan gain. What we need is a damn rescue bill. No union crap, no lobbyist crap, no stock buy-backs, no airline-carbon emission legislation. Bailouts. Bailouts only.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

This cultural moment is incredibly revealing about where we get our news. Pretty much without fail I’m seeing people who don’t follow or listen to anyone on the other side sound off by parroting the exact talking points of their political party.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

“We need to bail out people and not corporations” is a joke. Is the airline industry awful? Of course. I hate Delta too, but they employ tons of people. That “slush-fund” was agreed upon last week and without it, individual aid doesn’t help anyone when those companies fail.

[Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX]

Here is the text on the $500B portion of the bill:

Direct Lending Limitations: executive total compensation may not exceed $425,000; prohibition of stock buybacks during the duration of the loan; borrowers must maintain existing payroll as of March 13.

Dems are lying.

People from our church (and every church in SoCal) were at Ben’s Riverside show. Life keeps moving on.

[Ben Rector @benrector]

If you go to grew up going to church, you know this song. If that isn’t your thing or your tradition, no worries, you can still bask in this (literally) timeless melody. Pro tip: I was feeling it on this pass and decided to just roll on into singing, so keep watching if you want.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

I actually agree with...Ted Cruz?

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

In negotiations for economic crisis relief, some are pushing for a special carve-out just for Boeing & GE. That would be WRONG. Millions are losing jobs; we don’t need bailouts or corporate welfare—those companies should participate in the same liquidity programs as everyone else

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

I’m back on twitter to provide you wholesome vaguely theological content in this national emergency.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

California just received our statewide shelter in place order. I think we’re ready. #lockdownturnup @HardFactorWes @HardFactorPat @HardFactorMark @HardFactorWill @BarstoolNewsN

[Robert P. George @McCormickProf]

This belief, increasingly in the minds of people across the spectrum, is the road to Hell:

"But we're the good guys, and we're fighting the bad guys; and it's a life and death struggle! So we don't have to play by the rules. And the other side won't play by the rules anyway."

[Ian Harber @ianharber]

One party is using and corrupting us.
The other party wants to shut down our institutions and stamp us out.

I have no idea how I’m supposed to vote for anyone in this election.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

This is a take I wholeheartedly stand behind

[Pat “Beave” Cassidy 🦫 ( • )( • ) @HardFactorPat]

Just because you had the baby, it doesn’t mean you should fly with it.

[Matthew Loftus @matthew_loftus]

LRTs: it's hard to take seriously people who want to alleviate poverty in America but also want to strip tax protections away from the institutions that provide an enormous amount of care for the poor in their own communities and around the world.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

This is not an argument to vote for the “lesser of two evils” and therefore the GOP, but this is the attitude that keeps me from voting for progressives: “Nothing will happen to your churches...and when it does you bigots will deserve it.”

[Ryan Struyk @ryanstruyk]

Beto O’Rourke says “yes” when asked if he would strip tax-exempt status from religious institutions like charities, colleges and *churches* if they oppose LGBTQ rights in @CNN town hall. #EqualityTownHall

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Reject capitalism. Reject socialism too.

Anarcho-communism ain’t it.

We need to set up a world-wide elected monarchy, and the monarch should be a teenage white girl with severe attachment issues and a retinue of body doubles.

Nabooism is the way of the future.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

Lord Jesus have mercy on the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, the only force for good and stability currently operating in northern Syria.

[Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC]

This American soldier told me the Kurds have not left their positions guarding the ISIS prisoners. In fact "they prevented a prison break last night without us."
"They are not abandoning our side (yet)."
The Kurds are "pleading for our support." We are doing "nothing."

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

@HardFactorNews what Trump tweet bet are we making this week?

@HardFactorMark @HardFactorPat @HardFactorWes @HardFactorWill

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

Imagine being an organization whose entire ethical argument rests on the denial of the personhood of a certain class and then claiming that you actually are the defenders of personhood.

[Reproductive Freedom for All @reproforall]

Women are people. This is not up for debate.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

Also I don’t remember who said this, but I saw a tweet months ago that said “That All Shall Be Saved is basically going to be the Love Wins controversy for fancy people and that’s proved to be completely accurate.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

I love that David Bentley Hart’s critique of NT Wright’s Kingdom New Testament basically amounted to, “NT Wright gets to say whatever he wants and then say you don’t understand his arguments” and that’s basically the exact feedback he’s now getting on That All Shall Be Saved.

[Grant Morgan @grantm1218]

Also New Testament scholarship at its highest level has a lot in common with hip hop/rap beefs and I’m here for it.
