Trump allies prepare to infuse ‘Christian nationalism’ in second administration
Spearheading the effort is Russell Vought, president of The Center for Renewing America, part of a conservative consortium preparing for Trump’s return to power.

An influential think tank close to Donald Trump is developing plans to infuse Christian nationalist ideas in his administration should the former president return to power, according to documents obtained by POLITICO.
Spearheading the effort is Russell Vought, who served as Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget during his first term and has remained close to him. Vought, who is frequently cited as a potential chief of staff in a second Trump White House, is president of The Center for Renewing America think tank, a leading group in a conservative consortium preparing for a second Trump term.
Christian nationalists in America believe that the country was founded as a Christian nation and that Christian values should be prioritized throughout government and public life. As the country has become less religious and more diverse, Vought has embraced the idea that Christians are under assault and has spoken of policies he might pursue in response.
One document drafted by CRA staff and fellows includes a list of top priorities for CRA in a second Trump term. “Christian nationalism” is one of the bullet points. Others include invoking the Insurrection Act on Day One to quash protests and refusing to spend authorized congressional funds on unwanted projects, a practice banned by lawmakers in the Nixon era.
CRA’s work fits into a broader effort by conservative, MAGA-leaning organizations to influence a future Trump White House. Two people familiar with the plans, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal matters, said that Vought hopes his proximity and regular contact with the former president — he and Trump speak at least once a month, according to one of the people — will elevate Christian nationalism as a focal point in a second Trump term.
………………..Vought has a close affiliation with Christian nationalist William Wolfe, a former Trump administration official who has advocated for overturning same-sex marriage, ending abortion and reducing access to contraceptives.
Vought, who declined to comment, is advising Project 2025, a governing agenda that would usher in one of the most conservative executive branches in modern American history. The effort is made up of a constellation of conservative groups run by Trump allies who’ve constructed a detailed plan to dismantle or overhaul key agencies in a second term. Among other principles, the project’s “Mandate for Leadership” states that “freedom is defined by God, not man.”

2024: Democracy vs Fascism
You are going to have to choose a side.
Your Purity Pony unicorn view is not going to make it. Your 2016 brethren did the same thing…and, I hope that you can see the result of that.
The 6-3 right-wing Supreme Court.
So, they continue to literally show you the plans for what they plan to do, and you think that people like me, out here fighting to save the republic…are going to have tolerance for you whining?
No, I don’t think so.
And, let’s not forget Project 2025

Project 2025 also proposes increasing surveillance of abortion & maternal mortality reporting in the states, compelling the FDA to revoke “chemical abortion drugs” and protecting “religious and moral” objections for employers who decline contraception coverage for employees.

You thought that they would stop at abortion? We have been telling you for ages that they are coming for birth control.

Outside of Dearborn, Michigan, things look good for @JoeBiden. Spoke to over a dozen Democrats in Detroit, who have all voted for him.
Suzy Villarreal, 63, self-employed, voted for Joe at the Maybury Elementary School in Detroit.
“The alternative is a nutcase, who is trying to take our rights away. I don’t like the idea of the government making choices for women.
I have a granddaughter and I’m really worried about her future and her ability to make her own decisions about her body.”
“I get what’s happening in Dearborn and I’d be pissed too but now is not the time for a protest vote.
It’s just going to hurt Biden and get the other guy elected. We can’t let that happen.”

SIDEBAR: Trump filed a “Notice of Appeal.” He must pay filing fees to the appellate ct & then file an Initial Brief.
In the meantime, TO STOP COLLECTIONS on the $454 million+ judgment, he must post a bond. If he doesn’t, then @NewYorkStateAG can start collecting on the judgment.

They aren’t ridiculous any more. I said this years ago and I’ll say it again, in an AI world, being trained in those liberal arts can be very valuable.
AI/LLMs and whatever comes after LLMs needs to be taught about the world as it happens and given different perspectives about the output of models
if you take AI classes to understand how to apply your liberal arts knowledge to LLMs , I think you will be more valued than people expect

Agree, not only are liberal arts underrated, focusing on STEM to the point of folks denigrating literature, history, sociology, etc has created too many wealthy technocrats with no understanding how society works best or even basic empathy for others. Now fascism is on the rise.

Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is now tuition-free thanks to a $1 billion gift from Dr. Ruth Gottesman, a former professor.
Gottesman, whose late husband was an early investor with Warren Buffett, has made it a condition of the gift that the college NOT change its name—an unusual requirement in a world where much smaller gifts often come with the requirement that the colleges be named after the donor.
Most students at the Einstein College of Medicine graduate with $200,000 in debt; they will now be free of that burden.
