One of the more exciting parts of this election - among many - is the return of a religious left.

“The evangelical movement … is now going to be associated with Trump’s politics. It’s going to take a generation or more to shake that stigma.” thewayofimprovement.blog/202…
Appreciate the work that @reachjulieroys is doing alongside us @spectrummag on this important Adventist story.
Christian author Heather Thompson Day is accused of covering up abuse of her 14-year-old daughter. Now she’s telling a judge her daughter has “mental health issues” & “doesn’t know what she’s doing.”
The girl certainly sounds credible in the police report. This is just such a heartbreaking story.

One remarkable excerpt:
"You become a reality TV star. You win the presidency after never having run for City Council before.
You are indicted four times. Your opponents keep doing things that are pretty self-harmful. Joe Biden has a pretty nonspectacular last two years...1/

Just for fun this is from a month ago: "In case you’re keeping score, Donald Trump has claimed that a 'deal' with Iran was just about to happen at least 38 times since he started the war."

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Americans have never really trusted religion that much.
Even back in the early 1970s, people were more likely to say that they have "only some confidence" in religion than they were to declare that they had "a great deal of confidence."
"Hardly any" has doubled, though.

Chris Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part because it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. I mean, everybody saw that video ... it should freak the American public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

A Russian schoolteacher secretly filmed his own workplace as it was turned into a war propaganda machine. That footage is now part of a documentary shortlisted for an Oscar.

Yes, great film and important documentation of how Putin controls the country. . Saw this premiere at last year’s Sundance Film Festival.

This is the most rigorously Christian writing I’ve seen about this entire degraded mess.

NEW: I recently spent a day with the Luhmanns — a family rooted in theologically conservative Christianity.
In the morning, the homeschooled teenage sons tracked ICE.
In the afternoon, the mother aided an immigrant mother whose partner was deported. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/…

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the top prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia.
