"They also overlook that Trump’s ICE is throwing senior citizens to the pavement, dragging people from their cars, and breaking into homes without a search warrant. They don’t care that his agents are murdering peaceful US protestors and Venezuelans in fishing boats that cannot, due to size and distance, make it to US shores and therefore cannot be posing a direct threat."

Talarico urges MAGA to look at themselves and realize that chasing power at all costs is wrong."

Asked about Pope Leo's refusal to join Trump's "Board of Peace," his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, educated from grade school through college in Catholic schools and known for wearing an ostentatious cross while prevaricating boldly, stated,
"It’s deeply unfortunate. I don’t think that peace should be partisan, or political, or controversial."

"Of course, the administration wants all those who were invited to join the Board of Peace to join, because, again, the Board of Peace is overseeing the reconstruction of a territory that has been plagued with violence, with bloodshed, poverty for far too long. This president has a very bold and ambitious plan and vision to rebuild and reconstruct Gaza, which is well underway, because of the Board of Peace.”

Jennifer Rubin states:
"Those willing to call out with humor and humanity the toxicity of white Christian nationalism deserve the gratitude of all Americans."
She quotes Sen. Raphael Warnock, an ordained minister:
“The biggest adversary to Christian faith is people who speak in the name of Christianity but continue to behave in ways and support policies that are decidedly anti-Christian."

@wdlindsy Are we ever going to stop referring to the monsters as "Christian"? They're just nationalists. There's nothing Christian about what they do. Nationalists are un-Christian.

@wdlindsy as I said in my other comment, the MAGA fall apart over Epstein, paired with the other shit happening. It makes a void that those of us against Trump and the admin can leverage to continue fighting against him.

"Donald Trump came to power by successfully joining this so-called 'Christian nationalism' with the reactionary fears of the Tea Party insurgency and the greed of emerging techno-feudalists. The MAGA coalition that made Donald Trump president would never have gained power without the religious nationalist movement that markets the GOP as 'God’s Own Party.'”

"Taking on Trump’s far right base, Talarico rails about the shameful gulf between the teachings of Christ and the suffering Trump is inflicting on the nation and the world.
Talarico notes that MAGA, while hewing to a self-proclaimed Christian identity, doesn’t seem to mind that Trump is building concentration camps to cage people who haven’t committed a crime."

The authors argue that for the past 50 years, a specific political movement has weaponized Christian faith and "traditional values" to reverse civil and human rights gains made in the 20th century. -

"This has become their theology and they're alone in that theology."
Robert P. Jones replies:
"It's really plain that what we're seeing today is a battle for the soul of white Christianity in this country. I can just not say it any plainer than that. It's not actually new, but it has come to a head under Trump. Trump has really brought it back to the fore."

I've heard it called a "Farley file" as one was used by a politician of that name to keep track of everyone he met but, unsurprisingly, couldn't remember every detail of. I tried developing an online one once but never completed it as my needcase changed. Like most things it requires continuous updating to be useful.
