He’s doing the stages of grief in reverse. He began with acceptance. Then bargaining in the Douthat interview. And is now back to stage 1 - denial. I didn’t know this could be a thing.

If the court doesn’t bury Smith in St. Mary v. Roy, it seems poised to quarantine it. In my latest @SCOTUSblog column, I explain why the Carson route is the durable one. Justice Gorsuch also made clear that strict scrutiny, properly understood, is not a balancing test. He and Justice Barrett both explored strict scrutiny as a faithful way to implement the free exercise clause’s original meaning. The anomaly is Smith. scotusblog.com/2026/11/st-ma…

it is HILARIOUS to see people still doing a "good czar bad boyars" thing with a man who greeted the worst midterms result for a party since 1974 with a ballroom tour.

"What is the Republican Party? From its fundraising operations to its governing philosophy, it has become an organization built around and for one man, hollowed out over the past decade and purged of anyone or any idea independent of the current president. Any remaining attachment to free markets, limited government, the rule of law, a culture of life, or family values has been superseded by Trump’s own desires, impulses, enrichment, and peculiarities." thedispatch.com/newsletter/n…

This ad didn't work because these ads never work. The national GOP surrender post-Dobbs is hurting them. A pro-choice-lite party that also cuts SNAP and Medicaid is a moral and political disaster.

I'll go further: even strong predictions about 2028 election dynamics or 2029 governance are more absurd than usual, for all the usual reasons but also because we have less idea than maybe ever at what the political issues/divides are going to be two years out.

The fact that we're even indulging this game two years after Rs won a seemingly insurmountable 53 seats suggests such certainly is imprudent.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV on Sunday’s Villanova and Notre Dame basketball game: “Growing up on the south side of Chicago, we oftentimes heard, ‘Go Irish!’ But, as you all know, Prevost graduated from Villanova. So the Pope doesn't take sides. Prevost has another opinion, but we won't do that now.” (via @CatholicSat)

Yes. Every Christian should steward their citizenship wisely. I believe every Christian should vote. But the vote doesn’t begin in November every two years. It begins earlier. In primaries. In showing up and choosing the best candidate who matches character and policy. In local elections. In the things you choose to speak out about and those things you choose to be silent about. If your only framework for politics is two weeks in November, you are not that engaged. You are disengaged.
