Democrats have been pushing a new bill called the "respect for marriage" act that will counteract the defense of marriage act that established that marriage as an institution was one man, one woman. In doing so, it appears to intentionally trample religious, moral Americans' good-faith objections, ultimately compelling their speech and action in unconstitutional ways.

FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried have been all over the news lately, but to the uninitiated in cryptocurrency, it can be hard to puzzle out what the real-world implications are.

It turns out there are a lot of day-to-day lessons we can take from this situation, and that's what the MTA argument breaks down here. Join us on Volley: https://hi.volley.app...

We love our families, but thanks to the midterms, lately politics seem to have crept into every part of life - including holiday conversations. These discussions can be unavoidable and can quickly spiral into arguments, so it’s important to be ready for them beforehand. The most important thing is to remember that it’s much more important to have a relationship with our families than it is for them to come around to our point of view.
