    Good morning! It’s Wednesday, and here’s this week’s post. If you’re not already a paid subscriber, please consider upgrading to read the whole thing and support my work:This past Sunday, the White House published a presidential message on Holy Week, 2025. It is a remarkable document—as in, I find myself compelled to remark upon it. Now I understand, of course, that President Trump did not write this message.

    Good morning! It’s Wednesday, and here’s this week’s post. Vice President JD Vance gave a speech this week at a National League of Cities conference in Washington.
