My latest—the Trump administration’s recent report from its Task Force on Anti-Christian Bias is a honed political weapon. But it is empirically absurd. www.redeemingdemocracy.net/p/theatre-of...

Experts say anti-Christian bias task force report is full of bias baptistnews.com/article/expe...

"A survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in 2025 showed that even two-thirds of Republicans (67 percent) supported the idea of term-limiting Supreme Court justices, along with 85 percent of Democrats and 76 percent of independents." www.newsweek.com/thomas-alito...

"The Voting Rights Act was born from a church that could see clearly. If today the church cannot see racism clearly, then it re-creates the very conditions that made the act necessary in the first place." An essential read from @jemartisby.bsky.social at @rns.org religionnews.com/2026/05/01/c...

In light of the 5th circuit's decision regarding the abortion pill, last year @prri.org found that most Americans, including a majority of Republicans, oppose laws that make it illegal to use or receive through the mail FDA-approved drugs for medical abortion. prri.org/research/abo...

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Right out of the authoritarian playbook

Also, an extremely nerdy — but, I'd argue, extremely important — thing buried in here: the anti-Christian bias task force report appears to primarily cite conservative Christian sources (including the Bible translation it uses) when *defining Christian beliefs.*

The US Air Force agreed to buy an undisclosed number of interceptor drones from a company backed by Trump’s sons, according to the firm, deepening the military’s ties to defense contractors linked to the first family .

Trump’s War Tax on every American family. You pay the price for his war.

Nice analysis on Americans' views on political violence, by @cnn.com 's Aaron Blake. He cites @prri.org's January survey report that takes a deeper dive into factors Americans' think cause political violence. www.msn.com/en-ca/news/p...

Glad to be featured in this great new piece by @sarahstankorb.bsky.social, who provides a terrific analysis of the growing split between young men and women when it comes to religion today. #PRRIpoll #PRRICensus religionunplugged.com/news/no-revi...

Despite the headlines, there’s no evidence of a broad religious revival in the U.S., especially among Gen Z men. New PRRI data, explained by PRRI CEO @melissadeckman.bsky.social in Word & Way:

New from PRRI Research Director Diana Orcés, Ph.D.:

Please read this terrific op-ed from @prri.org 's Director of Research, Diana Orcés, on our nation's declining norms and shrinking commitment to democracy. Sobering. www.commondreams.org/opinion/us-d...

For our latest, the CEO of @prri.org @melissadeckman.bsky.social writes about a headline-grabbing story that feels sensical: a religious renewal is underway in America as some churches report a surge in baptisms and conversions led by younger Americans — particularly Gen Z men. But is it true?

Drawing on @prri.org latest Census of American Religion, i find little evidence showing a religious revival in America -- and certainly not in terms of religious affiliation and weekly church attendance for Gen Z. Thanks @wordandway.bsky.social ! wordandway.org/2026/04/27/n...

BREAKING: Sean Hannity announces he no longer supports math after it explains why Trump and RFK Jr are wrong.

FBI Director Kash Patel was twice arrested in incidents involving alcohol, once for public intoxication and once for public urination after leaving a bar, he admitted in a 2005 letter about disclosures on his Florida Bar application.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Obviously it does not matter to the people who think he's a business genius, but Trump not understanding percentages gives an indication of just how much actual work he's done managing his own businesses

Uh oh: Somebody saw his horrible 33pct approval/67 pct disapproval numbers and is lashing out online all hours of the night. Shows just how laser-focused he is on the lives and economic hardships of regular Americans.

Everywhere you look, Trump, his family members, his donors, his political supporters & his cronies are looting the US treasury, getting paid by foreign entities for policy favors, & getting no bid contracts. Criminal cases are dropped and convictions pardoned. The US govt is an ongoing crime scene.

The Sovietization of Texas public universities continues at breakneck speed.

Only 8 percent of Americans support banning abortion in all cases; no states' residents come close to holding that view nationally, despite the fact that some red states have passed what are bans, in effect.

Check out our latest data on abortion legality views among Americans, in all 50 states. prri.org/research/map...

Thanks to @kkdumez.bsky.social and @annewhitesell.bsky.social for their great insight in this @rns.org piece by @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social, reporting on @prri.org 's latest survey report on abortion attitudes in America. religionnews.com/2026/04/23/w...

Yes — the more interesting story is about Gen Z women!!

Congratulations to @prri.org President and Founder @robertpjones.bsky.social and @prri.org board member @janellewong.bsky.social for their induction the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. What a deserving recognition of their work. Honored to know them both! www.amacad.org/news/new-mem...

What's going on with Gen Z and religion? @prri.org 's Director of Research Diana Orcés and I compare PRRI's Census of American Religion with new polling from Gallup. Long story short: I"m still not seeing much evidence of a religious revival among Gen Z men. prri.substack.com/p/whats-the-...

He really is using Truth Social as a place of self-affirmation as his polls slip and reality starts to really injure his narcissism.

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Negotiating with himself to loot the US Treasury

Checkout this great new analysis from @robertpjones.bsky.social on how Trump's attacks on Pope Leo may have implications for the midterms, using @PRRI's American Values Atlas. www.redeemingdemocracy.net/p/how-trumps...

In a war zone, US navy ships are running out of food for sailors. USS Gerald Ford, the world’s most advanced aircraft carrier, was sidelined by a laundry fire. And now the U.S. is running low on missiles. Despite a military budget of *$900 BILLION* a year. Read this by @vermontgmg.bsky.social.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Happy to be featured in this new piece about Gen Z women and religion in @rns.org, discussing @prri.org 's latest Census of American Religion. religionnews.com/2026/04/15/s...

Trump is angry at the Pope, so he has canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Check out @prri.org 's 2025 Census of American Religion, released today, providing the most accurate picture of American religious demographics. The big takeaway? There is no evidence supporting a religious revival in America, despite the headlines! prri.org/spotlight/20...

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

At its core, the political economy of scholarship was never supposed to rely on ~$50k from a smelting fortune. Institutions have hollowed out their support, the feds have done the same, and all that's left is inadequate private funding.
