Wonderful words. This reminded me of the maxim that says “you don’t question your colleague’s motives when you know the names of his or her children.”
“As followers of Christ, we should seek to live peaceably and lovingly with other children of God who do not share our values and do not have the covenant obligations we have assumed. “In a democratic government we should seek ‘fairness for all.’ In countless circumstances, strangers’ suspicion or even hostility gradually give way to friendship when personal contacts produce mutual respect.” — President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH) #GeneralConference

Wow. What incredible insights. Please listen. Thank you, Ben, for doing this.
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:

Mr. President, NATO member countries HAVE been there for us. In fact, more than 40 Danish soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan, as part of a NATO mission, after the United States was attacked on 9/11.

Words cannot express the respect, admiration and love that my entire family has for Senator Kyl. Arizona and the nation have been so blessed to have his wise and steady leadership for so many years. May God bless Jon, Caryll and all of the Kyl family.

“Death inflicted on the helpless is never an act of strength. It is what remains when strength forgets its purpose.”
Donald Trump believes his mission is “righteous enough to justify whatever means were employed,” @JeffFlake writes. On the issue of the administration’s boat strikes, “the public deserves the chance to judge for itself. Release the video, Mr. President”: theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1…

Mark Kelly is a good man who has served his country honorably in the past and continues to serve honorably in the U.S.Senate. What he and his wife Gabby have sacrificed for this country is immeasurable. I’m proud to call him my Senator.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.
