In their design of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1786), Jefferson and Madison declined to make Christian belief a requirement to hold office, and explicitly said that if a Muslim could get elected, there should be no barrier to their holding office.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

What time did they start the #NLCS and why?

tomorrow will tie 2022's record for number of days with the national average above $4/gal. 2022 saw 157 days above $4. today is our 156th day above $4 this year. tomorrow, we tie that 157 days and Wednesday we set a new record for most days above $4/gal in any year ever.

The F150 Lightning is the best vehicle I have ever owned. #Ford

1) it’s great the times painstakingly attempted to document how much this had grown 2) and also how do you do the article about HOW this is happening without addressing WHY? What CAUSED this uptick? Did you try to figure that out?

Willie Fritz has Collin Klein in a blender right now.

DOINK in Manhattan. Let's go Cats! #EMAW

Love that Jalon Daniels is getting a shot tonight. Never cheered for him at KU but enjoyed watching him play. #NFL

the tech industry is about to invent books

Holy shit.

Fantastic 9th inning. High drama and a big payoff.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Bad is the only word for this.

The decision ends, for this election at least, Republicans’ effort to use a gerrymandered map to improve their chances of winning a seventh Missouri seat in the U.S. House. #moleg #mogov

Chris Fowler is a real one.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

In April 1946, Albert Einstein visited Lincoln University, a historically Black university, received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree and spoke against racial segregation in the United States. A refugee from Nazi Germany, he supported civil rights causes and corresponded with W.E.B. Du Bois.

In a *different* case, a federal district court has now put the 2026 map back into effect—on a different theory. That ruling *should* be subject to a stay from either the Eighth Circuit or #SCOTUS, because that should be covered by Purcell. But we’re not there yet.

The national average has slipped a few cents compared to late last week, but at $4.084/gal, we're still seeing the highest average gas price on Labor Day by about 25c/gal ($3.83 in 2012), diesel at $5.87/gal is holding at the highest level we've seen.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

every one of you who wasn't alive for the 2000 election, this is exactly what it was like

Replay officials saw this and said put one second back on the clock.

clock at zero, ball still not touched (hard to make out, I get it)

Connor Stallions operating the Michigan clock now? #NCAAFB

This whole situation reminds me of the adage that you can't create your own mistrial.

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

New footage exclusively obtained by The New York Times showed the aftermath of the moment a giant glacier broke away from the top of a ridge in the Himalayas, setting off a torrent of mud, snow, floodwaters and debris to the valley communities below. nyti.ms/4x0ckTw

Climate change doesn't care about ignorance and lies.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.

Rest in Peace, Dolly Parton. A wonderful human being who left the world a better place than she found it. An ambassador of love and inclusiveness.
