The people are not always right. Moral courage is always necessary in leadership. And we cannot ever think that we have permanently vanquished the ideas that Trump and so many others before him have used to lead so many Americans astray. nytimes.com/2024/11/03/opini…

MORE: “The Eighth Circuit’s application of Purcell was incorrect. Even though federal courts should not impose changes close to an election, States are free to decide for themselves whether last-minute changes to an election are in their best interests—subject, of course, to certain limited constraints imposed by federal law. Moreover, in this case, the Missouri Supreme Court was not responsible for the late-breaking changes. On the contrary, in an opinion back in May 2026, well before the primary election, the Missouri Supreme Court stated that the 2025 map would not take effect until approved by the voters in an intervening referendum, at least if the referendum petition was legally sufficient. So in the several-month period before the August primary election, the Missouri Secretary of State was well aware that conducting the August primary election with the 2025 map carried significant risks. The Secretary nonetheless chose to proceed with the 2025 map for the primary.” supremecourt.gov/opinions/25…

I need to know how much everyone benches and squats right now!!!! I need to know PR’s and mile split times now!!! lol

The right decision and completely expected. The Eighth Circuit decision, on the other hand, was extremely puzzling.

Last week, Charles Haywood claimed that Erick Erickson's statements on his "opinions about World War II are completely false" and "perhaps hallucinated by Claude." Here are Erickson's statements and Haywood's statements side by side. Erickson: 1/

Pew finds that in 1990, 73% of US immigrants were Christians. In 2020, it finds 70% were Christians. So the overwhelming majority are Christians, and nothing has changed recently. Oh, and 62% of Americans overall are Christians, so they're making us more Christian.

Again we told folks YEARS ago that these dudes existed and were influencing ppl in their pews, online, in gov and elsewhere and were told we were Neo-Marxist that made everything about race and CRT. Now they’re here and yall are shocked?? LOL!!! religionnews.com/2026/09/24/…

Incredible. First @SecMullinDHS claimed that @DHSgov identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials said, no no no, that’s just people we flagged, here’s the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

"Ironically, the idea that Haywood is a fringe figure with no influence among conservatives or Christians was blown apart by the responses to Erickson’s piece... These widespread, overwrought reactions seem odd if Haywood is merely an isolated pundit with a blog."

Important win. I'm deeply grateful to Ann for trusting @TheFIREorg with the defense of her First Amendment rights and incredibly proud to work alongside my colleagues on the case team. fire.org/news/victory-iowa-j…

This is important -- theology that doesn't produce good fruit should be questioned, and when theology systematically creates terrible, rotten fruit, then the fruit test should create a presumption of profound error.

If you think national security is actually an important government interest, it should concern you when the federal government so cheapens it to make it a joke. The boy who cried wolf doesn't have a happy ending.

"Consider it official: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has exited the culture war, repudiated Christian nationalism, and embraced a wiser alternative: Christian constitutionalism."
