with Seth D. Kaplan, hosted by James M. Patterson Neighborhoods are one of the most important human support structures, argues Seth D. Kaplan. Yet modern politics, economics, and social habits all seem aligned to undermine them. Discussing his recent book, Fragile Neighborhoods, Kaplan explains why neighborhoods are irreplaceable sources of human community, and why they are often in such bad shape today.

Original ArticlePosted By: gaboy, 5/8/2025 4:29:20 PMIllinois governor J. B. Pritzker's 2025 budget reveals a notable retreat from progressive ambitions. Despite his past advocacy for expansive government programs and robust social spending, Pritzker proposes neither substantial tax increases nor significant new initiatives. Most conspicuously absent from his accompanying budget speech was any mention that the state would no longer fund free health care for illegal aliens aged 42 to 64.

Few elections command as much fascination as the secret conclave of cardinals gathering this week to choose the next pope. Catholics trust that the Holy Spirit guides this decision, yet the outcome still depends on carefully forged human rules. Chief among them is the centuries-old mandate that no candidate may be elected without winning the support of at least two-thirds of the electors. A mere majority does not suffice. The history and function of this rule are both intriguing and revealing.

A lovely post by my friend Mark Movsesian. He is certainly right that Souter had remarkable personal qualities that particularly stood out in status focused Washington.
My recollections of Justice David Souter, a remarkable person and true gentleman, who never let Washington go to his head and treated his clerks with generosity and kindness--even when they messed up.
Even without claiming the Holy Spirit’s imprimatur, America’s supermajoritarianism, like the conclave's, carries moral weight: it too obliges factions to seek partners and to temper victory with accommodation. https://t.co/l60JOWInf8
