“The recent bombing ordered by Trump—justified as preemptive defense against Iran's nuclear ambitions—can be traced back to evangelical dispensationalist theology, which holds that Israel’s geopolitical security and dominance are essential precursors to the second coming of Christ.”

“Surviving Ohio State” should end Jim Jordan’s political career.
Will it? I have my doubts. But every Republican in Ohio should have to speak on Jordan’s involvement in the sex abuse scandal.

FWIW, we've been studying the nationalist pronatalism push for several years now. And it's powerfully driven by what you'd expect: patriarchal gender ideology, perceptions that Whites & Christians are under threat, & Christian nationalism.

Why Trump Paused the Tariffs
A stock-market swoon, or even a recession, might not frighten him, but the prospect of a 2008-style meltdown apparently still does.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
