Those who sit in the window seat but don’t open the window when taking off/landing have no lust for life. They will never enjoy the great fruits of mankind’s collective efforts. They will experience nothing more than mere life

New data shows Catholicism is gaining momentum on college campuses across the U.S.

Participation in adult Catholic conversion classes is up 115% from last year, and more students are showing up for retreats and receiving the sacraments.

Ross Douthat spends 30 min of his podcast letting his guest build their case, even steel manning them

Then 30 min in, he tries to suppress a gleeful smile and says, "I have so many questions."

And proceeds to ask a flurry of devastating questions that dismantles their world view

This leaves the guest in a state of aporia, stunned, at a loss

And then he swoops in to gently offer the tender bosom of the Catholic Church, whose intellectual tradition is the salve for their wounds

Perfection. A modern day Socrates.

Partiful is a rare example of social media actually making people more social. We need more pro-social social media.

I came to grips with what this year’s trade deadline would mean for the Mets awhile ago, but it still really hurts to see Luke Weaver go

From his postgame quotes alone, I can’t remember the last time a guy made such a great impression in such a short amount of time

[Michael Marino @MarinoMLB]

Sammy Stafura to the Mets is an incredible story. A die hard Mets fan from Westchester County who went to 2024 Mets games. In an interview with Sammy, he tells me:

“I’m ready to get after it, I am one of the biggest mets fans ever and will give the Mets everything I have.”

"They seek to make medical students not into competent doctors, but into far-left activists."

During a hearing examining medical school curriculum requirements and DEI-related policies, House Education Committee Chairman Tim Walberg accused UCLA's medical school and the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine of prioritizing ideology over medical education.

Walberg argued the schools have openly acknowledged these curriculum goals, saying required courses on topics such as "settler colonialism" and "anti-oppression" do not prepare students to become qualified physicians.

[Washington Free Beacon @FreeBeacon]

Leaders of the UCLA and UC San Francisco medical schools told Congress that they axed mandatory social justice courses in which students were instructed that weight loss is a “hopeless endeavor” and encouraged to participate in unlawful takeovers of public infrastructure, @aaronsibarium reports.

The cancellations follow a series of Free Beacon reports on the first-year curricula at both institutions, which are facing investigations from Congress and the Trump administration.

John Adams, writing to Abigail, about the Continental Congress' vote in favor of independence on July 2, 1776:

"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not."

I've been a soccer fan virtually my whole life.

Last night was magical. Every bar in DC was packed. After the win, everyone belted Country Roads together--like a tradition we've done for generations.

It was truly Soccer Night in America! 🇺🇸

Before we were a superpower, the United States had to answer a more basic question: how should our new republic behave in a dangerous world?

The first chapter of our newly published interactive timeline, “An Emerging Republic,” focuses on the foundations of U.S. foreign policy, our principles, and how they continue to shape debate today, from the Declaration of Independence to the Monroe Doctrine.
