Am I wrong in thinking there has never been a time when Alito and Thomas agreed on something and were wrong?

Speaking of the late @NotreDame professor, Charlie Rice -- here's an article by his daughter, @MaryRiceHasson in Friday's @HeartlanderNews making a case that Christians cannot retreat from the culture wars without surrendering their responsibility to defend truth, human dignity, and God's design for humanity. Silence in the face of abortion, gender ideology, and the sexual revolution, she argues, is not neutrality -- it is an abdication of Christian duty. bit.ly/4zK8hfU

Happy to be a part of this excellent documentary series on medical ethics.
Can we trust a profession that has lost its guiding star? Medicine was once a vaunted profession, trusted by all. Now, that same profession is in crisis. Hillsdale College presents "Do No Harm: A Crisis in Medical Ethics", a new 4-part docuseries on the foundational principles underlying medicine, and what happens when medicine abandons those principles. Episode 1 releases on Hillsdale Digital on Thursday, October 29th. Only on YouTube. youtube.com/@hillsdalecolleg…

By my estimation, 18,000+ women will face serious adverse events related to mifepristone abortions during the 3+ months between when @FDA has its mifepristone safety study results in mid-December and when it publishes its final report in March.
BREAKING: FDA responds to court-ordered deadline with claims it will complete its mifepristone safety review in March 2027. That’s 2+ years after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former FDA Commissioner Marty Makary first pledged to “study the safety” of abortion pills.

Three years ago today, I was sitting in a beautiful church at the baptism of one of @RyanTAnd children when my phone started pinging repeatedly. I resisted checking for some time but became concerened when it continued. Multiple friends were texting and the headlines were coming in non-stop. I don't know why, but in that moment I knew that everything was immediately going to divide and change . It was a 9/11, George Floyd, Covid, Charlie Kirk moment. I felt a serene sense of safety being in a house of worship, but I also felt a deep sense of dread, knowing what would come next. Not even a day later, student protesters across the country began vocally supporting the actions of Hamas and I reported on it daily for months. Doing this work pulls the curtain back on many evils and sometimes I'm privy to things I wish I could unsee, but few have been darker than what I witnessed in the months after 10/7. The propoganda, lies, and outright Jew-hatred caught on like wildfire and it burdens my soul to watch what it has metasticized into, 3 years later.

The Biden FDA relied on complete junk science to justify allowing abortion drugs in the mail that kill unborn babies and send women to the ER. There is no reason we should perpetuate this atrocity.
NEW: A peer-reviewed paper from CLI examines the evidence behind @FDA 2021 safety review of the abortion drug mifepristone, which resulted in the removal of the in-person dispensing requirement. Researchers found that the review was based on limited studies and incomplete data, raising serious questions about whether the FDA adequately evaluated the drug’s real-world risks.

No, AI is not a neural network, for those are made of neurons and there are no neurons in data centers.The statistical probability calculations that AI uses to generate content--all borrowed from human created content--is absolutely nothing like what the human brain does when it thinks. Claiming that it's a "neural network" is another clever bit of propaganda.
Replying to @AaronKheriatyMD
Aaron, it's not at algorithm. It is a neural network, trained, and we can't predict what it will output.

The abortion industry is oh-so-matter-of-fact in describing what a woman will see after taking the abortion pill: "You will pass blood, clots, a fetus, and a placenta. It is okay not to look. The fetus will be several inches long, and you may see a head, arms, and legs.…" What to do? Easy. Flush the dead child down the toilet or wrap her body up like "household waste" and put it "in the garbage." Diabolical. Read the column below by my @EPPCdc colleague George Weigel
George Weigel, William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies @EPPCdc: "“Reproductive health” and “reproductive freedom” (a usage coined by the recently deceased Gloria Steinem) were, are, and always will be euphemisms deployed to hide the truth of what happens in an abortion." ncregister.com/commentaries/…

Six Catholics with Down syndrome served Mass for the pope today. I've seen this referred to online as a "spectacle," a "publicity stunt," and "emotional manipulation." I'ts none of those things. It's Catholic. If it wouldn't happen at your parish, the pope ain't the problem.

Excellent news. Pleased to add my voice to others recommending denial of APA recognition. Their persistent bias, promoting gender ideology and antisemitism, ought to disqualify them permanently.
BREAKING: An advisory panel on accreditation has recommended that the Department of Education suspend the American Psychological Association (APA) for 12 months amidst concerns about ideological standards on DEI, gender-related treatment, and especially antisemitism. After hearing from several groups during a meeting yesterday, the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity’s (NACIQI) voted to make the recommendation. The recommendation now goes to the Department of Education for a final decision.

I am honored and humbled to be chosen as the next President of ISI, and am deeply grateful to the Board for the opportunity to lead an institution that shaped my own education and vocation. I look forward to carrying on ISI's vital mission in the years to come. I am also profoundly grateful to Archbishop Cordileone and the Archdiocese of San Francisco for these years spent advancing the mission of Catholic education in the Bay Area. It has been a blessing and a privilege.
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is proud to announce the appointment of Christopher Fisher as the next President of ISI.   Chris returns to ISI after 12 years, having previously served here in both programs and digital media roles.   He brings more than a decade of experience leading educational programs for students and teachers alike. Most recently he served as Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Before his work in San Francisco, Chris concluded a decade of leadership at Portsmouth Abbey, a Benedictine monastery and independent Catholic boarding school in Rhode Island, where he served as Executive Director of the Portsmouth Institute for Faith and Culture and taught in the school's Humanities program, grounding students in the great texts of the Western tradition.   Chris's deep commitment to the enduring ideas of the Western tradition, his record of institutional leadership, and his passion for forming the next generation of thoughtful, engaged citizens make him exceptionally well-suited to lead ISI into its next chapter.   Please join us in welcoming @CFrancisFisher back to the ISI family. We look forward to his leadership as ISI continues its longstanding tradition of educating for liberty.

Big abortion spent years lying about what abortion laws mean for miscarriage care. Now they’re doing the exact same thing with ectopic pregnancy.
Earlier this month ProPublica tried to blame prolife states post-Dobbs for a big recent increase in ectopic pregnancy deaths. @Mr_Jamie_B_Hall accessed the underlying CDC data, and it tells a very different story: The big jump in ectopic-related deaths occurs a year before Dobbs. So hard to pin it on Dobbs. It occurs in both pro-life and pro-abortion states. Though it is higher in pro-life states. What could the explanation be? The big jump occurs right after the removal of the last remaining in-person safeguard for the abortion pill, and women in pro-life states probably purchased online mail-order abortion pills at higher rates than in pro-abortion states. Hence the jump occurring when and where and at the rates it did. The removal of the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion pill, not Dobbs, is most likely to blame. Jamie's analysis linked in next tweet:
