Surprised they are combining "Protestant" and "Nondenominational Christian" here. Mainline Protestants are very different, theologically and politically, from nondenom Christians, who are often evangelical or fundamentalist. The growth trajectories are very different too.

Folks who didnβt grow up in American evangelicalism & think that βweβre at war to kick off Armaggedonβ story sounds far-fetchedβit isnβt. There are many folksβlots now in positions of powerβwho desperately want war in the Middle East because itβs required by their interpretation of Biblical prophecy
And this redaction violates the law that Congress passed and Trump signed. Why is no one enforcing the Epstein Files Transparency Act as it was written?

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a βvictimβ in the warrant.
It's been over three months and the Trump administration still hasn't fully released the Epstein files and are overly redacting and trying to hide what they do release because that's exactly what you'd expect for someone who is "innocent."
"Since the end of WWII, the US has generally done an abysmal job of educating its children, much less its adults, about what fascism was, is, and could yet become. Itβs deeply troubling that there had to be any debate as to whether Donald Trumpβs MAGA movement was fascist in character."
"As part of Scouting Americaβs commitment to comply with Executive Order 14173, we will be discontinuing the Citizenship in Society merit badge." m.email.scouting.org/rest/head/mi...
wtaf? What specifically in the badge requirements was at issue?
Any executive order like the one being threatened to be signed by POTUS will be challenged in court before any of us can blink.
He doesnβt have that authority. Even in an emergency. Our elections are administered by the states.
Much news about an unconfirmed allegation re Trump in the Epstein files. But this week we also revealed Lutnick had a years-long business relationship with Epstein that occurred long after he once claimed he cut off contact with the sex offender. It sure looks like he told a big lie about Epstein.
The cruelty and inhumanity of this Administrationβs policies have left another person deadβas CBP dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee living in Buffalo NY, alone on a cold winter night miles from his home.
This cruelty must end.
It is a sign of the deep sickness of our society that someone like this can acquire any social momentum whatsoever. (Also, isn't Greenwald himself Jewish?!)
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just todayβs news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Moral injury is such a deep wound and still so under-recognized. Thank you @theradr.bsky.social!
Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

This is really really bad. And I thought '90s parents were helicoptery...
Good riddance to toxic waste.

Unsurprising but disturbing reporting: DOJ withheld and removed Epstein files referencing Trump, including interview notes tied to sexual abuse allegations against him.
Regardless of the status of these allegations, Pam Bondi continues ignoring the law requiring her to disclose all documents.
The Fox Five is a master class in how to shout over women who are winning the argument
Congratulations! Sounds like a book we all need.
I noticed that too and was taken aback. Are we crossing some kind of Rubicon?
