President Trump wants to increase domestic manufacturing. So do we. However, impeding the manufacturing boom we've experienced in the renewable energy sector won't enable that goal.

Earlier this week during an offboarding conversation with an intern, I was asked a question about what strategies or perspectives help me continue doing work that can often be depleting and demoralizing. My answer was simple — I believe in redemption. I sincerely believe that there is a powerful redemptive force at work in the world. That force, in all its many manifestations and forms, emanates from one source: Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice. I believe that this power was set in...

The judicial branch’s role in preserving a separation of powers has long contributed to the resiliency of the U.S. government. As citizens, we can recognize and respect this judicial power to check the other two branches of government and uphold our “constitutional federal republic working under principles of democracy.”

I want to look directly and unflinchingly at the hatred, sorrow, greed, and even the evil in the world, and then I want to look beyond it at all the good. I want to utilize my gifts, experiences, and resources to do what I can to make systemic change, but I want to do it in a way that keeps my soul soft and full of generosity. For when I allow my heart to harden and my feelings towards others to turn callous, that is when I become ineffective and weak.

The U.S. Constitution sprang from the concept of separation of powers. The Constitution intentionally grants each branch separate and distinct powers.

My sister had a baby last week. He has ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, a functioning liver, lungs, kidneys, veins, everything. It’s a miracle, because he was born two months early. Failure to thrive. He weighs two pounds, two ounces. In the videos, my sister’s hand engulfs him, his legs observably smaller than her fingers. His eyes sit huge in his face. His skin bunches around sinews and bones entirely devoid of baby fat. When she had the baby, I was two thousand miles away in New York City....
