We've seen families, friends and faith groups torn apart by tribalism and misinformation. American Values Coalition seeks to heal our broken polity and create a community that restores a fact-based national narrative in order to prevent radicalization. americanvalues.org

.@EGMatthews: “More Americans are engaged than they’ve ever been in my lifetime, and if we can get through this decade, we can overcome just about anything. It will take work, but our nation still holds enduring promise and opportunity.” open.substack.com/pub/americ…

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

“Every single day of my childhood, my parents asked the same question at dinner. Not ‘What did you learn?’ but ‘Who did you serve?’…At 22, I’m profoundly grateful that I get to view my life and work through the lens of service.” thefp.com/p/ben-sasse-parent…

“Wilner's study found that some skepticism is healthy. However, when questioning turns into automatic distrust, news consumers can become cynical, which actually makes them more vulnerable to misinformation.” kcur.org/podcast/up-to-date/…

Today we honor those who paid the ultimate price defending the cause of freedom. Remember them today. #MemorialDay

.@DavidAFrench: “Trump is circumventing Congress’s power of the purse. He’s circumventing the judiciary’s role in adjudicating disputes…he’s circumventing civil and criminal law. This is one of the most purely monarchical moments of a monarchical presidency." nytimes.com/2026/05/21/opini…

.@JonahDispatch: “Presidents are not arbitrary rulers. They are stewards, with defined & limited powers…I struggle to think of hypothetical scenarios that would be more likely to arouse in Madison and his contemporaries the—now misplaced—reassurance that impeachment was an available remedy.”

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The Trump slush fund is a clear cut impeachable offense. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

The New Apostolic Reformation has been staging Christian nationalist events on the National Mall for 25 years. Today they finally got a White House-sponsored one. This is what they've been building toward and prophesying. My new piece: open.substack.com/pub/matthe…

If you’re a Christian committed to the values of America, 2 important points to consider: 1️⃣ We’re a nation founded upon religious freedom for all. This means everyone, & government shouldn’t privilege certain religions over others. 2️⃣ The sponsor of “Rededicate 250” is engaged in much of the wickedness that biblical prophets warned us about. What changes, therefore, should you make in your relationship with this current administration? open.substack.com/pub/americ…

"It's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand." Pathetic beyond belief, but mostly unChristian.

The sponsor of “Rededicate 250” is engaged in much of the wickedness that biblical prophets warned us about. As a fellow Christian, does that not concern you? @NappNazworth shared some thoughts on today’s upcoming event: open.substack.com/pub/americ…

The “Rededicate 250” event claims to seek the “rededication of our country as One Nation to God.” @NappNazworth speaks to 3️⃣ important questions: 1️⃣ Who is this for? 2️⃣ Is this a Christian Nationalist event? 3️⃣ What should a nation dedicated to God look like? open.substack.com/pub/americ…

Let’s celebrate 250 years of American liberty by turning the capitol city into a police state. 🇺🇸

On Sunday, tens of thousands will gather on the National Mall for a government-sponsored Christian nationalist event called "Rededicate 250." I wrote a field guide for reporters & others: who's behind it, what they actually want, & why it's unprecedented. open.substack.com/pub/matthe…
