Right-Wing Attacks on James Talarico Are a Reminder That Christian Extremism Is Official Republican Policy The reaction to Talarico's Christian rhetoric demonstrates the ways in which far-right theology is about underwriting misogyny and racism.

"It is Talarico who is presented as both a danger to the country and, perhaps more importantly, to Christianity itself. It’s Talarico’s calls for compassion and humility that will put both the viability of American society and the integrity of the Christian faith at risk."

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history

"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

Alaska’s glacial lakes are expanding, increasing the risk of destructive outburst floods Scientists mapped the evolution of 140 glacial lakes in Alaska and found a way to tell how much larger and destructive they can get as their glaciers melt.

If there is a terrorist attack, we must put the blame where it belongs: on the war criminal(s) who incited it.
