More than 68 million Americans report estrangement from a family member. Like an immune system, our ability to detect harm is necessary. But for many now it is more like an autoimmune disorder: misdirected, indiscriminate, and turning us against what we need to sustain us.

[Claremont Institute @ClaremontInst]

The Claremont Institute is proud to announce the 2026 class of our Lincoln Fellows, a program for patriotic young professionals in federal or state government roles, public policy, and journalism.

These fellows will spend 2 weeks this summer with our Senior Fellows to discuss statesmanship and political thought from the Founding to modern day political disputes.

Please, join us in welcoming Amanda Banks, @MicahBock, John Cohen, West Cuthbert, Ashlea Frazier, Ross Hougham, Benjamin Jaros, Ben Jensen, @noellem, @nukebarbarian, @JoeProenza, Dawn-Marie Sullivan, and @KJTorrance.

The Church’s teachings on sexuality are not a distraction from Catholic social doctrine but one of its essential foundations.

[The Catholic Herald @CatholicHerald]

"The New York Times recently argued that Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical on artificial intelligence and social justice could help shift Catholicism away from what the article described as its longstanding fixation on “pelvic theology”, a derisive moniker for the Church’s teachings on sexual morality."

The official book cover of No Contact from @noellem has now been released!

More than 68 million Americans are now estranged from family. What is driving this movement?

[Noelle Mering @noellem]

Sometimes estrangement is warranted, but something larger is happening. I've spent years hearing from parents navigating this. My new book, 'No Contact' is about how we got here, what's driving this, and how we can recover something better. https://t.co/vKkBdt7y6Q

The Supreme Court has delivered a massive win for free speech and truth in the Chiles decision.

Our scholars - @ekniffin, Theresa Farnan, and @maryricehasson submitted an amicus brief in this case.

1 in 10 women will experience a serious adverse event as a result of the abortion pill.

We're grateful to see senators taking action to protect the health of women.

@FormerListless @RaymondArroyo Thank you!

Remember that the FDA stopped collecting key complication data, then pointed to the lack of reported complications as an excuse to permanently end in-person visits.

Read that again.

The conclusion was baked in from the start. Ideology trumped health and safety.

[Ethics and Public Policy Center @EPPCdc]

The Biden Administration eliminated safety restrictions on the abortion pill.

Our new research shows that this contributed to a shocking 13% spike in the serious adverse event rate of mifepristone!

Lent can give us the space to notice how easily we are swept into reactionary cycles, and to regain our footing so that our words and actions are born of deliberation.

@EricRSammons God bless him. Hail Mary…

[The Catholic Herald @CatholicHerald]

“Sin reproduces itself in two ways: through imitation or through rumination. Rumination feels safer than imitation because we tell ourselves we are merely observing the sin rather than participating in it. But what we rehearse inwardly often hardens into suspicion, then accusation, and finally division.”
