One of my favorite passages from Yuval Levin’s new book, American Covenant, clarifying that unity does not mean agreement:

COUGS WIN A THRILLER IN DOUBLE OVERTIME!!

Great message from two legislators I respect. Opinion: We’re legislators who often disagree. We still know we can only stop political violence together

“Last Sunday, the shadow came for the men, women and children of a church in Michigan. But there is still light and high beauty, and last week the light that flooded America came from people of faith who were determined to demonstrate the character of the Savior they love.”

I loved this piece by an inconvenienced but wise journalist about why President @NelsonRussellM insisted on the full name of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It is great, and not at all surprising, to see @GovCox stepping up in this moment to try to turn the temperature down and focus ppl on grieving the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. For years, Governor Cox has promoted civility and grace across party lines. Our research finds

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints condemns horrific acts of violence worldwide, including the recent assassination in Utah. We affirm our repeated calls to seek peace and unity despite our differences. Jesus Christ teaches us to love one another, that hate is wrong

From start to finish, Cox's handling of this situation has been exemplary. His tone has been appropriate. His message has been correct. And, most important of all, he has hidden nothing from the public. | @charlescwcooke https://t.co/iXweF5OxZx

From tonight’s @WSJopinion editorial: https://t.co/cZeV6WsGoK

Agree with @charlescwcooke: "Governor Spencer Cox Gets it Right" https://t.co/gtG7UvBWM0

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, the Republican face of depolarization and bridgebuilding, is asking a “broken nation” for peace following a horrific act of violence in his state. https://t.co/gZ2dpih8Uf

“Imagine how different our world could be if more of us were peacemakers—building bridges of understanding rather than walls of prejudice—especially with those who may see the world differently than we do.” - Russell Nelson #SundayThought https://t.co/mteWsK0Hjj

Living to 101 is a privilege I never anticipated. I was pleased to be able to share a few thoughts in a global publication about what I have learned and observed during this time. After more than a century of life and decades of studying both the human body and the human soul,

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy. Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself. Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we should lead the way as peacemakers. My dear brothers and sisters, let us plead with our Heavenly Father to fill our hearts with greater charity. Let us strive every day to follow the example of our Savior, who is the Prince of Peace.

My book “reveals [a] paradox regarding the pursuit of happiness in contemporary America: indiv. happiness is most likely to be found not by directly pursuing it for oneself but by opening your heart to love, marriage & living for your spouse & family.”

This was a fun episode. I especially liked @nfergus explaining why he associates with people with whom he disagrees.

America’s 250th birthday is such a cool thing to celebrate over the next year leading up to July 4, 2026. Thanks to @KarlRove for a great list of all the ways we can participate—book clubs, essays, community service, and the premier of @KenBurns “The American Revolution” in Nov.

Wise words from @MeghanGurdon on putting down our phones and picking up books. https://t.co/OmiMqnc3wT

Happy Independence Day! I want to tell you about my conversion to America. As an older Millennial heavily influenced by Gen X, I was wary of patriotism. I thought Founding folklore was childish propaganda, even though I was glad to be American. But then I
