A debate over Matthew 25 has been brewing in Congress over the last year. It’s pitting mainline pastors, Black protestants and the pope against evangelical politicians put on the defensive amid outspoken religious criticisms of President Donald Trump’s policies. religionnews.com/2026/07/01/i...

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders
SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

Fantastic reporting from @juliannemcshane.bsky.social here, and a warning shot about the future of abortion clinic protests: Trump's pardons have only emboldened the most aggressive fringe elements of street level activism. "We're going to disrupt this country as much as we can."
