    Paula White’s job at the White House gives a quasi-official sheen to her “prayer movement” and its promotion of Christian nationalist rhetoric and dominionist “prophets”

  2. For folks on the QAnon right, Trump's COVID diagnosis is a sign that he's under physical and spiritual attack from lefties, or that he's hunkering down while the mass arrests of "The Storm" sweep over the country. You know, there might be an easier explanation.

    You knew it wouldn't take long for the right wing to start spreading conspiracy theories about Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis, but could you have come up with this one?

    I finished this piece like [checks watch] 12 hours ago and there are already 15 more scandals. Still holds, though. Nothing will make White evangelicals ditch Trump - The Washington Post

    BREAKING: The timeline problem the White House is facing is that according to Trump's 9PM FNC interview with Hannity, the White House waited *12 hours* to test him after it knew Hicks had COVID-19. That's unlikely—meaning Trump may have lied on FNC about if he had a deadly virus.

  8. The Democratic Party is so anti-Catholic that (checks notes) its top elected official is Catholic and it is fighting like hell to elect a Catholic president.

  9. "What sets Trump apart, and makes this election so urgently important, is the viciousness of the man himself: his malice and well-documented mendacity, his callousness and incompetence, his total lack of scruples."

    NEW: Ivanka Trump likes to pose as a successful businesswoman. But in looking through her major projects—in Azerbaijan, Panama, and New York—one thing is clear: She's just as steeped in corruption, fraud, and money laundering concerns as her father.

    1) As someone who has spent the past four years covering the spread of white-nationalist violence in America, both at protests and in terrorist acts, the notion that these groups are “illusory” is not just absurd, it’s obscene. Thread follows.

    The House just passed its updated HEROES Act. But the Senate left town earlier today until Monday afternoon. First thing on the Senate’s agenda next week? JUDGES. McConnell has lined up votes on 5 more of Trump’s nominees to lifetime judgeships. That’s all McConnell cares about.

    Did you know: The top 10 banned books last year all featured LGBTQ content. The LGBTQ's community's rights are *still* at risk. Freedom of expression is vital to our democracy, and that's why we're lifting up and celebrating ! For more 👇

    The ACA is at stake. As says: “Since my colleagues have not been able to succeed in repealing the health care law using the legislative process, the administration has turned to the courts.” Also calls out McConnell for prioritizing Judge Barrett amid the pandemic.

    TODAY >> I asked a Big Pharma CEO to justify why his company raised the price of a lifesaving cancer drug by over $500 *per pill* since it first hit the market. He couldn’t answer. This same CEO made $13 MILLION in 2017— including a $500,000 bonus for this price hike.

    Michele Bachmann is off-message from some Team Trump members' Chinese bio-warfare message, but lots of U.S. religious right folks say any land-for-peace deal in the Middle East invites God's wrath.

    Everyone remembers the Christian Broadcasting Network's petitions urging Mitch McConnell to allow a vote on Merrick Garland to honor the "Founders' Constitutional Vision of a Full and Functioning Supreme Court," right? Right?

    If you're thinking, wow, how in the world did we get to the point where the POTUS is using the debate stage to incite a violent white supremacist group to take to the streets, and he still has the support of his evangelical base, you should read . There's a long history.
