My husband said the women calling and asking for him had the wrong number. But wrong numbers don’t usually ask for you by name. Was I wrong to rush into marriage? Watch me tell this story at Lincoln Center for @TheMoth: nancyjaynefrench.substack.co…

When I was watching @DavidAFrench interview @MaxBoot in Chicago's University Club, I kept thinking of how we were really just hanging out in Leighton's Dark Matter office.

Maybe you were wrong about the election. Maybe you were right about the election and wrong about how you talked to your aunt and uncle about it. Either way, it's time to stop the contempt. @AfterParty2024 nancyjaynefrench.substack.co…

My former pastor, a charming octogenarian, had a standard jocular response if anyone asked him for a favor: "Sure, if it doesn't cost me any time, effort, or money." This made me think of him today.
When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

If a MAGA voter is bewildered today, perhaps he should stop making a meme calling his opponents “fake and gay,” delete the post declaring that Indian Americans worship demons, turn off the podcast that’s shrieking at him that every person who votes Democratic is a heretic, and take a very long and thoughtful look in the mirror. Donald Trump is to blame, but no one — absolutely no one — made you imitate him. nytimes.com/2026/11/05/opini…

Please read my story about how I made a friend by meeting @DavidAFrench's Twitter critic. (I almost wrote his 'biggest critic,' but I didn't want to offend some of you who are vying for that title.) nancyjaynefrench.substack.co…

Y’all, mine is too unhinged to even include in this chart. I just remembered when I was in youth group, I used to sign my letters “Find me” — like if I didn’t see the person I was writing again on earth (I usually wrote camp friends), “find me” in Heaven! Like if one of us died!
I always get the meanest emails with a sign-off like, "In Christian love, Walter."

Mass deportation isn't just. It isn’t a triumph of the rule of law. It’s a product of Trump’s own hatreds and bigotries. After pledging to deport the “worst of the worst,” he has decided to pursue otherwise law-abiding residents for deportation, even residents with American families. He has decided to detain people who are eligible for bonds. Again, that is not what the law requires. It is what Trump demands. nytimes.com/2026/10/29/opini…

Pro-lifers who voted for Trump: “The detainment of pregnant immigrants has led to delayed emergency treatment, miscarriages, and stillbirths.” But the number of pregnant detainees has significantly increased since President Trump took office in 2025. substack.com/home/post/p-222…

'They knew [international adoption ]would not be an easy process— But they never expected the slowdowns to come from the US.' (Yes, I know this is CT and it's not about the Bachelorette, but this is my niece and the topic is important!)

HaloBraid just released this video of its hair-braiding device, which the startup promises will cut appointment times in half. The company's $7 million seed round was led by Seven Seven Six, the venture capital firm founded by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams's husband.
