Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.
We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.

Punishing journalists for not adopting state-mandated terminology is an alarming attack on press freedom. That's viewpoint discrimination, and it's unconstitutional.
President Trump has the authority to change how the U.S. government refers to the Gulf. But he cannot punish a news organization for using another term. The role of our free press is to hold those in power accountable, not to act as their mouthpiece. Any government efforts to erode this fundamental freedom deserve condemnation.

Not here for the pile-on. Just want to highlight the danger @profsamperry @ndrewwhitehead and others have spoken about — when we deploy “Christian nationalism” with such cartoonish imprecision that Americans become desensitized to a real threat.
Fwiw in my experience the Venn diagram between people who wish you a blessed day and people who advocate a theocratic takeover of our governing institutions is, ehhh, nonexistent.

One of the oldest, ugliest lies is to falsely smear immigrants as criminals.
Not only is crime in America down, but immigrants are helping us build a stronger and more prosperous nation.

New crime data just dropped (yesterday). It's your choice whether to believe these carefully collected statistics, or the unsubstantiated claims made by political hucksters.
The numbers say: Crime fell last year, it fell by a lot, and it fell pretty much across the board.

Pastors in Springfield, Ohio, said the social fabric of the community has been ripped apart, with real-world consequences for locals and immigrant neighbors in their own churches. Most Haitians there are Christians.

Trump falsely claims that crime is "through the roof" because of undocumented immigrants.

Among self-identified evangelicals in 2023:
10% never attend religious services
17% report seldom attendance
13% attend yearly
29% of evangelicals attended once a year or less in 2008.
It's 40% today.

This giant cruise ship inspired TV’s famous “Love Boat.” Now the 1950s luxury liner is sinking in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
“It hurts quite a bit,” said its former owner, who is sorrowfully watching his dreams evaporate as the vessel sinks. trib.al/P8dKwO5

Not trying to sell you anything here, but we also made a video series out of it if you’re interested—18-20 minute video per chapter. Works great for small groups.
And yes! Glad we found our goober. Here’s the picture of when we finally got him back (bed head included).

SCOOP: The Texas Historical Commission removed books on slavery from plantation site gift shops.
An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics. Internal emails show otherwise. My latest for @TexasMonthly.

1/ On this day in 1944, the Nazis came for my father and his family. The seven members of the Jakubovic household were sent from their tiny Czechoslovak village of Legenye to the nearest large town, where Jews from all over the region were being herded into a ghetto.

It feels like very soon this country will be divided along lines not of strict left v. right, but along the lines of those who value liberal democracy and those who think idle threats of prison rape to force journalists to divulge their sources for political reasons are funny.
