🧨 I've written a book. About Christianity. About being a pastor's kid. About the evangelical church idolizing America at the expense of its witness for Jesus Christ. Four years of reporting. A lifetime of reflection. I'd be honored if you pre-ordered: https://t.co/8spoYNK93r

Alberta was inspired to write the book by a final conversation with his father, an evangelical minister.

Honestly can’t remember the last time the Lions get dominated in the trenches like this. Pretty alarming. All of Goff’s success has been predicated on elite o-line play; without that, we’re watching an average QB, an average offense, an average team.

Twice this year, @anneapplebaum visited the front lines of Sudan’s brutal war. No international organizations, diplomats, or Americans are coming to fill the void that years of violence have created, she reports. Read The Atlantic’s September cover story: https://t.co/7Xt2Xb77kE

I don't know what, exactly, to make of the Journal piece. I do know that this particular defense—"Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?"—has, in the past, left some loyalists looking very, very stupid. https://t.co/e905o8uetb
Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?

I guest hosted Radio Atlantic this week and was lucky to speak with @jkbjournalist, the person who knows more about Jeffrey Epstein than most other people on the planet. You can listen here: https://t.co/qQD5ZvECz8 (And don't worry, the great @HannaRosin will be back next week.)

Jonathan Edwards preached his first sermon at 18 yrs old on Romans 8 and made 3 points: 1. Your bad things will work out for your good and God’s glory (Romans 8:28) 2. Your best things can never be taken away (Romans 8:37) 3. The best of all things are yet to come (Romans 8:17)

i think if you're a dem incumbent tonight you don't want to overreact to a mayoral race in NYC but you also maybe want to think a littttle harder about making sure your dem constituents don't view you as some kind of useless appendage for a ineffective party

Midway through the 3rd quarter of a close-out game—to win an NBA title—the OKC Thunder have 4 assists and 13 turnovers. And they're shooting 6% (yes, six percent) from three.

Fitting that Mike Lee spent Father's Day sending the tweets that awoke official Washington to the depths of his moral/spiritual decay. The stuff I heard while profiling him last year was straight out of a Freudian fever dream. On Rex Lee's troubled son: https://t.co/h1JuE8tprV

In 2016, he tried to stop Trump from becoming president. By 2020, he was trying to help Trump overturn the election. Now he could become Trump’s attorney general.

Spectacular. Phenomenal. All the superlatives. Hats off to Jeffrey Lurie! Almost enough to make me a birds fan. (Almost.)
Jeffrey Lurie and his family are donating $50M to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Penn Medicine for autism research. The gift will create the Lurie Autism Institute. This is the largest single donation to a U.S. academic medical center focused on autism.

The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.
