Professional sports leagues have raised ticket prices to the point that the average fan cannot afford to attend, especially as a family. They also compete with an in-home product that is vastly improved. Regionally, salaries aren’t as high in this market as others. Lots of reasons but the bottom line is people do have to choose between entertainment, gas and groceries and that’s just a fact. It’s not a lack of passion. It’s practicality. I never felt comfortable telling someone else what to do with their money.

On this day in 1536, William Tyndale was executed for translating the Bible into English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Betrayed and arrested near Antwerp, he was condemned and burned at the stake. His last words were: “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.” Tyndale gave his life to one great cause: putting the Word of God into the hands of ordinary Englishmen and women in their own tongue. His translation laid the foundation for the English Bibles that followed, including the King James Version, which preserved a remarkable amount of his language. Within only a few years of his death, Henry VIII authorised the English Bible to be read openly in every parish. Tyndale’s prayer was answered.

Talarico: My faith is central in my public service, and if you go back and read the New Testament, even if you’re not a Christian, even if you’re not religious, go back and see what Jesus spends most of his time doing. It’s not preaching, it’s not teaching. It’s healing. It’s healing people. And that is what we are called to do, whether you’re religious or not, is ensure—ensure that our neighbors have the care that they need. And that is, that is gonna be the end result of this plan and the other health care policies that we’re gonna fight for in Washington: saving the lives of our neighbors, bringing down these costs for all of us so that we can afford to get by in this economy, so we can afford to fulfill our God-given potential. That is the end goal. That is our North Star.

The young woman we featured yesterday explains further her motivation for writing while answering questions and accusations from her critics, (after this blew up on X) some which she has found hurtful.
