Christian nationalism is not new. From Manifest Destiny to today, over 3 in 10 Americans align with its ideas. substack.com/@thekenharba... Follow The Ken Harbaugh Show here: linktr.ee/thekenharbau...

It’s interesting that Talarico’s religious appeals are framed primarily as a reach across the aisle here. In his particular case, I think that’s *part* of the effort come the general. But his slogan was “let’s flip some tables” — a theological argument aimed at the Democratic base, not Republicans.

baptistnews.com/article/this... I would have liked to hear this speech from the brilliant + brave @robertpjones.bsky.social

My take on @prri.org's massive new study of the reach of Christian Nationalism across all 50 states. Based on over 22k interviews. Including discussion with @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social , @melissadeckman.bsky.social , and Bryan Massingale. www.redeemingdemocracy.net/p/mapping-ch...

This @interfaithamerica.bsky.social briefing yesterday served as an opportunity for leading experts such as @robertpjones.bsky.social and @therevadam.bsky.social to examine competing narratives about what it means to embody America’s founding principles in 2026.

Who needs electoral legitimacy? Trump’s authoritarian ambitions go global. His new “Board of Peace” carries $1 billion membership fee. Trump is the chairman — not just while he's president, but for life! He can invite new countries to join or expel others. Via @nytimes.com

Update: While charges against *these* clergy were dropped, sources tell me charges against *other* people arrested at various protests *haven't.* Namely: Rev. Hannah Kardon, who was arrested at a similar protest outside the Broadview DHS facility weeks earlier. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

In an op-ed, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cites PRRI data finding that Republicans (25%) are more likely than independents (14%) and Democrats (8%) to agree with the statement “Empathy is a dangerous emotion that undermines our ability to set up society that is guided by God’s truth.”

Wrote this even before the execution of Alex Pretti. Trump bears direct responsibility for these deaths & the suffering. If we trace the chain of events that brought ICE agents to Minneapolis, they are anchored in Trump’s racist lies. Trump's lies are killing us. www.whitetoolong.net/p/trumps-lie...
