How Faith Forward Democrats Are Flipping The Script On Christian Nationalists Are the 'What Would Jesus Do?' politics of James Talarico the key to taking MAGA down?

Christian nationalism has become a driving force at the highest levels of the Trump administration, shaping policy in dangerous ways. Now, a new generation of Democrats, including James Talarico in Texas, are using their own faith to reframe progressive values and bring new voters into the fold.

Not a war, a special military operation by Putin fan-boy Trump.

The U.S. government has urged Israel not to carry out further strikes on Iran’s energy and oil infrastructure, marking the first time it has restrained Israeli action since their joint operations began.

The NCTJ says it has reached its target of having women make up 25% of students enrolled on NCTJ-accredited sports journalism courses. This is up from 6% in 2021/22, 14% in 2022/23 and 20% in 2023/24. CEO Joanne Forbes said it will now "move towards equal representation"

Oil prices dip as Trump says Iran war is 'ahead of schedule' and will end 'very soon' After surging above $100 a barrel on Monday, oil is now closer to $90. Trump also says he will hit Iran

Why the heck respected news outlets are still spending their time trying to put a rational interpretation on a speech by a guy who literally doesn't know what he's thinking or saying from minute to minute, goodness only knows.

Trump's statement that the war is "very complete, pretty much" shouldn't be taken to confirm anything except his cognitive decline.

Sod the price of oil. All that death and destruction just to replace Ayatollah Khamenei with a worse Ayatollah Khamenei?

Yes I know the oil price matters but the human victims seem to matter far less to politicians and the media.

Will a cloud inversion ever not look magical?

These occur when the air near the ground is cooler than the air above it.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

A23 northbound closed from A27 making for an "interesting" drive over Devil's Dyke in the fog... Maybe I missed the advance notice or maybe no one bothered?

Mad fog in Sussex tonight especially on the coast and Downs and it doesn't even seem to be on the forecast app. #RealPeasouper

Trump’s holy warriors finally got the apocalypse they’ve prayed for Hundreds are dead. Iran is retaliating. And some of the people who helped start this war think it's going exactly as God intended.

I wrote about the Christian Zionism that is quietly fueling the US attack on Iran. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Solar panels are not only great for carpark shading, they are great on farms for the animals to shelter under, and for many crops that do better with less direct sunlight.

China leads the world in solar deployment. Even parking lots and rooftops are being turned into solar power plants β€” generating electricity while using space that’s already paved.

China also exceeded its 2030 wind + solar capacity target (1.2 TW) in 2024 β€” about six years early. #Bettrification
