There is no plausible defense of Trump's TruthSocial scheme. It is flagrantly corrupt. It is impeachable. Congress should intervene. (It won't, I know.) https://t.co/fLYnWAQEyl

We call for states to offer free classes in safe firearm handling and storage, and to make them widely available to all residents; this includes age-appropriate firearm-safety education in public schools. We also support safe-storage laws with the provision of storage devices to those who cannot readily afford them.

Trump lost fair and square in 2020. Only women can get pregnant. The Trump assassination attempts were real. Mitch McConnell is alive. Michelle Obama is not a man. Barack Obama is a citizen. America is less racist than most countries. Police stop crime. Tariffs hurt the economy.

Also, the U.S. is unique because we have dozens of cities where ambitious people can excel in various careers and industries. I love the UK and London but London is a bottleneck politically, culturally and economically. You can’t move to Manchester or Birmingham and really compete at the top level in many careers. Paris has a little urban competition, but not much. Meanwhile New York City is an elite destination, sure. But you can become an extremely successful lawyer, architect, artist, singer, engineer, whatever, without moving to NYC. You can do that in Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, LA, SF, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Miami, Pittsburgh and even Philadelphia. The competition between urban centers is great for productivity and innovation. But this system of safety valves for the production of elites is also a huge engine of our success.

The takeover of the Democratic Party by socialists is making it hard for those of us on the center-right who oppose Trump and MAGA to regard the Dems as the lesser of two evils.

Don’t forget about Patrick Rothfuss!

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

Oh, is that what the case was about? The Court convened, and the justices were asked whether they liked “big business” or those with “cancer,” and seven of the nine chose “big business”? Or was it about FIFRA’s preemption clause? The press’s coverage of the law is a disaster.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

If you're a conservative you should lament the fact that NYC is sending radicals who will harm the country and the city with their ridiculous ideas.

If you're a normal Democrat or liberal, you should lament the fact these leftwing radicals will empower rightwing radicals.

The dumbest "debate" in Catholic circles these days is about whether to prioritize questions of justice or those of sexual morality. Not only are both profoundly important, they are deeply connected. Someone would have to be willfully blind not to see the ravages of the sexual revolution. Its countless victims--from unborn babies, to fatherless children, to porn-addicted boys (and, increasingly, girls), to victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse, to a plague of STDs, to abandoned "partners" and spouses, and on and on--are victims of injustice. We owe it to them, as a matter of justice, to stand up and speak out for principles of sexual morality whose abandonment has produced much of the carnage.

It's obviously true that justice and morality pertain to a vast range of questions, not just those involving sexual conduct and misconduct. It is no less true, however, that justice and morality do pertain to sexual matters and that the abandonment of norms of sexual morality has imposed grave injustices on a massive number of victims.

It’s bizarre to me that the Army sees fit to put its people so squarely in temptation’s way —the DOD doesn’t put big free piles of crack cocaine on its bases for good reason, but while officials know that slots can be addictive and ruinous, they persist in this operation.

Ken Paxton throwing the election to Talarico by sticking up for Texas Tech football's idiotic corruption is exactly the type of think that Paxton would do, and he'd deserve it.

[Kathryn Jean Lopez @kathrynlopez]

Good sense.

[Scott Smith @hf_222222]

This Peter Singer style argument has always been clearly wrong.

It seeks to abstract a definition of personhood from humanity, but when they apply it back to humans & realise some don't fit, they forget to realise that just proves their definition is wrong.

[Scott Smith @hf_222222]

We are painfully aware many people's "moral intuition" lets them get comfortable that some human people are lesser - The problem is they are wrong.

Its wrong when it justifies slavery, its wrong when it justifies racism, its wrong when it justifies sexism & its wrong here.

[Robert P. George @McCormickProf]

People with Down Syndrome are human beings. They are, as such, bearers of profound, inherent, and equal dignity and the right to life. To target them for extermination on the basis of their condition is as wicked as targeting people on account of their race, sex, or ethnicity.

It's bad to kill a child in utero because of their disability.

In 90% of cases, people will still do it.

The U.S. has one of the lowest termination rates-- and it's because of the continued humanitarianism of Christianity and the promotion of joyful images of disability.

It's not because of a campaign of screaming shame at parents who make the choice most such parents make.

Even though I do abhor that choice.

[Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬 @lymanstoneky]

I think many pro-lifers do acknowledge this

We just also acknowledge that this was the argument for why black people or disabled people or woman weren’t really people either

People have terrible moral intuitions
