The Author Who Pulled Me out of the Doomscroll

4 days ago | christianitytoday.com | Haley Byrd Wilt

Fantasy novelist Guy Gavriel Kay, who helped compile Tolkien's Silmarillion, grapples with the juxtaposition of love and suffering in Written on the Dark. When I had my first child, I spent a lot of time awake. My son was born five weeks early and wanted to snuggle around the clock, and adults really shouldn't fall asleep while holding tiny babies. So my husband and I were very much not sleeping, all the time. And while I was awake, day and night, I was usually on my phone.

Capitol Police Carrying Protestors Out of Senate Hearings Has ‘Raised Eyebrows’

1 week ago | notus.org | Haley Byrd Wilt |Emily Kennard

Sen. Jim Risch, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, kicked off a hearing last week with a warning for those in attendance. “We have zero tolerance on any kind of protests, on any kind of attempt by anyone to contact, influence or in any way communicate with either the witness or people that are here on the dais,” he said. Minutes later, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio was testifying, a demonstrator stood at the back of the room and started shouting about the war in Gaza.
Democrats Hope Calling Out Republicans on the National Debt Can Stop the Reconciliation Bill

2 weeks ago | notus.org | Haley Byrd Wilt

Get ready to hear a lot from Democrats about the national debt. House Republicans’ reconciliation bill extending tax cuts and slashing social safety net programs doesn’t get close to balancing America’s spending and revenues. It would add as much as $3 trillion to deficits over the next decade instead, while also hiking the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. Democrats see that as a potent argument against the legislation as it heads to the Senate for consideration.
‘I Regret Voting For You’: Democrats Fume at Marco Rubio

2 weeks ago | notus.org | Haley Byrd Wilt

Democrats voted unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio as secretary of state earlier this year — but on Tuesday, they spent hours telling him just how unhappy they are with his job performance. “I don’t recognize Secretary Rubio,” Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Nevada Democrat, told him as he appeared before the Foreign Relations Committee. She said she isn’t even mad anymore — just disappointed.

2 weeks ago | notus.org | Haley Byrd Wilt

The 119th Congress, so far, hasn’t provided many opportunities for the Problem Solvers Caucus to solve problems. It’s not that the problem solvers don’t want to solve problems — or that there aren’t problems to solve. It’s that the style of substantive, bipartisan collaboration they’re trying to promote is nearly impossible while Republicans are advancing a partisan reconciliation package. And those partisan maneuvers can make things tense.
Republicans Have Really Moved On From Condemning the Saudi Crown Prince

3 weeks ago | notus.org | Haley Byrd Wilt

When President Donald Trump stood with Mohammed bin Salman in 2018 after the Saudi government murdered journalist and political dissident Jamal Khashoggi, the Senate unanimously approved a bipartisan resolution condemning the Saudi crown prince. This week — seven years later — Trump had nothing but kind words for Prince Mohammed during his visit to Saudi Arabia, and most Republican senators didn’t blink. “President Biden worked with him at the end,” Sen.
Trump’s Protectionist Trade Agenda Keeps Getting Less Protectionist

3 weeks ago | notus.org | Haley Byrd Wilt

It may not be the best time for a manufacturer to move an entire supply chain to the United States after all. President Donald Trump’s protectionist trade policies — that the administration claimed would bring an industrial renaissance to the country — keep getting less protective. Trump had already backed off his planned steep tariffs on imports from most countries after announcing them last month, instead targeting China with 145% duties.
