Big day at our house: @kieraevebutler’s 1st @MotherJones cover story is out and details the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation.
In awe at my wife, who quickly churned out this piece after a whirlwind trip to Lancaster Co, PA, last month.
Read it!

They’d have told him if they thought he could keep a secret.
As one of his top apologists throughout his career, congrats to @M_Ryan02 on a what should be a Hall-of-Fame resume. Fingers crossed he doesn’t become the @AtlantaFalcons @DaleMurphy3—who everyone knows should totally be in Cooperstown.
