A monarchy is a system stripped of balancing feedback. The king doesn't have to change behavior no matter the pain of the people or the land or the prospects of the future. A nervous system that doesn't respond to the pain of a finger on a hot stove is also a system stripped of balancing feedback.

“Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard could be viewed as God's desire for all to be provided for on account of their need and not necessarily on account of their socially determined value or worth. Unsurprisingly, those who feel entitled to more cry foul and claim this practice is unfair.”

@padilla.senate.gov identified himself as a senator. He was speaking up for constituents, he is on a committee with oversight doing legislative business in a public place. Art I-6-1 has a meaning intended by the Framers and understood since September, 1787. Constitutional conservatives, assemble.

#LRP the notion that we have to know the motivation of a speaker before we can judge what they say effectively insulates whatever they say from criticism because we can never know with certainty what’s in or on someone’s mind

If you ask them, which is one way of answering your question, many of those who find it hard to say "that's a lie" will tell you that in order to report that as a fact we need to know the motivation of the speaker, and we have no access to that, so it's just an opinion, and we don't deal in opinion.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Great opinion piece by Michael Sean Winters. “If the goal of all Catholic ministries is to preach the Gospel, and the preacher entangles himself in the culture wars, who gets attracted to that preaching? What is the image of the church that is presented and how many people does it turn off?”
