Kensington is indeed pretty horrible, although there are some (liberal) Mennonite groups trying to engage in church planting and other social services efforts there, like an Everence branch, in partnership with the community clinic there that opened as a sort of "public space" (except priv...

As Trump was engaged in insurrection, it behooves Congress to act. I think they should have made that finding after the January 6 impeachment, when a majority of both Houses essentially agreed with that finding.

Most normal candidates (including every other Republican candidate) don't have any difficulty avoiding committing...

California has had one party rule for a while, yet infrastructure projects there seem to be very slow and take forever. One of the most notorious examples is the abortive “High Speed Rail” which is billions over budget, years late, and so far only has firm plans to run between Bakersfield and Merce...
