Turn on Radio 4 and it’s what sounds like Matthew Goodwin explaining in folksy terms why Christian Nationalism is great, and very reasonable
It’s wild how quickly the Overton window in British politics has catapulted rightwards

Good grief. What a pathetic baby.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

The interview was recorded, as most good journalists will do. Fake news hides the crimes and truth from the people; they don't expose it.
Fox is a prime example of Fake News and the White House Press person is just another example of Fake News and Projection.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Rob Reiner religion note: One of his last film projects was “God & Country,” a documentary released last year based on Katherine Stewart’s book.
The film turned a critical lens toward Christian nationalism.
