Washington Post paperback bestsellers A snapshot of popular books.

"On Tyranny" is #1 on the WaPo bestseller list this week. I wish it weren't necessary, but I'm glad that people are finding the book useful.

A friendly reminder that tonight we "fall back" one hour. While setting clocks that don't do it on their own, change your smoke detector & NOAA Weather Radio batteries too!

Christians who refuse to feed people aren’t Christians.

That’s the Gospel truth.

Christians Who Don't Want to Feed Peopleβ€”Aren't Christians Well, we’re in the β€œJesus didn’t say we should feed people” portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

Conservatives are welcome to slander strangers and protest the sharing of resources and celebrate the suffering around them and assert their right not to give a damn about anyone but themselvesβ€”but we can’t allow them to pass the buck to God while they do.

US Department of Agriculture says no food aid benefits will be issued next month The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Saturday that food benefits under one of the country's biggest social assistance programs will not be issued next month amid the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The best use of resources is to contribute funds to already-established food banks and networks, and do what you can to help people access them.
