The news cycle trains us to expect the worst, then act surprised when we feel exhausted. We go the opposite direction with a rapid run of verified good news stories that actually change how you see the moment, from immigration enforcement and Supreme Court decisions to unmistakable signs of spiritual hunger among young adults. We start with a headline most people have not thought through: “third country deportations.” What happens when someone is in the US illegally or commits a crime, but t...

Calling something “treason” feels satisfying when you’re angry, but it can also be the fastest way to lose the rule of law. We slow the conversation down and get specific about three words that are constantly thrown around in politics: treason, sedition, and insurrection. The surprise is how narrow treason is under the US Constitution and why the Founders insisted on it after watching Britain stretch these charges during the American Revolution.
