On the one hand, it's truly sad that we will never be able to celebrate America's 250th the way we did the Bicentennial in 1976. I love this country every bit as much as I did when I was born in 1980.

But this was the most foreseeable outcome imaginable.

At some point, actual Christians, not just the ones who call themselves that, are gonna have to opt out of politics for the parties to improve the quality of their candidates. Continuing to insist Christians vote for evil, so long as it’s lesser than the other, is getting old.

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

As Trump has explained, tariffs don’t raise prices and are paid by foreigners, which is why [checks notes] suspending or removing them lowers prices and makes things more affordable.

[Kim R. Holmes @kimsmithholmes]

A lot of people are asking why more politicians are not like Ben Sasse.

Because voters will not elect them, that’s why. They may say they care about character, but most don’t vote that way.

Instead they vote party line, ideology, self-interest, or out of pique against a perceived enemy.

How can we expect our leaders to embody higher levels of virtue if a majority of voters don’t make personal character a red line?

It looks like we get the leaders we deserve.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short.

Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life.

The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance.

He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

As the number of manufacturing jobs falls, small businesses get hammered with tax bills for their inputs, and 6 in 10 Americans oppose Trump's tariffs, at least lobbyists are getting rich.

Populism!

[Stephen Gutowski @StephenGutowski]

OK, but you literally led a failed campaign to try and partially repeal the Second Amendment. A bit of an odd politician to make this complaint. Do you now support repealing California's ban on licensed gun-carry at protests?
