The news that matters
While the Romans were broadcasting fake news about the emperor as savior, God was at work elsewhere.
I’ve been trying, without much success, to make sense out of this troubling season in our national life.
The trouble has bipartisan (multi-partisan!) sources, but, candidly, my greatest bafflement is about the meaning of Donald Trump’s election for who we are and where we’re headed.
I’ve watched my favorite talking heads on Morning Joe; read E. J. Dionne, David Brooks, and Eugene Robinson; listened to theDemocracy Now and On Being podcasts; and re-read Martha Nussbaum on political emotions.
