The shutdown deal was actually not so bad for Democrats
Ordinary Thoughts: Tuesday, November 11, 2025
Here's my take on the #shutdown deal: I think it's good, actually, and that #Trump lost the shutdown fight badly. open.substack.com/pub/justinda...

Well crap. Time to go stock up on coffee yall. Because no matter how much he wants you believe the lie otherwise, theses actions mean that Donald Trump just slapped a 25% tax on your morning cup of joe. But hey, at least that one trans girl canβt play sports or whatever.

A Little Glimmer of Light, Deep in the Dark
A Homily for the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul
I wrote a little homily today, for the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, reflecting on the week that it has been.
And I even manage to work some Lord of the Rings in too.

The Bishop, The Leader, and The Convert
Reflecting on Bishop Marian Edgar Budde's National Prayer Service Sermon
My newest Substack essay, on Bishop Budde's sermon: "justice and mercy are at the heart of what it means to be a Christian."

Donald Trump is logical conclusion of the Citizens United decision
All of this, for another corrupt politician betraying American voters
My new essay is up: Democracy only works when the voice of the people is the strongest and most influential consideration for those in power. Citizens United was the final step in a long war by corporate interests and wealthy donors to quash that voice, and replace it with the almighty dollar.

Love really struggled. He was also throwing to WR4s, missing his best OL, with zero run game, against arguably the leagueβs best defense. Context matters.
