…ission of language about God and Jerusalem in the party’s platform. Zeke Miller of BuzzFeed adds some more detail from Charlotte: Several delegates told BuzzFeed they were dismayed by the chaos, and some objectors said they voted “no” because Villaraigosa had not explained the move. Other said they believed the vote reflected hostility to Israel among the delegates. * * * * One dissenter, who said she hadn’t made it in to voice her “no,” said she…

In Tea Party Senate Candidate’s Dissertation, A Nostalgia for a Populist Christian Nation

By Sarah Posner

…omeschooler, and opponent of Obamacare and its “entire failed worldview”—bills himself as an outsider to politics, with an expertise in “business turnaround projects” for such powerhouses as Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey and Company.

Will House “Freedom” Group’s Core Racism Go Unchallenged?

By Peter Laarman

Where, oh where, are the “budget is a moral document” types when we really need them? I don’t know about you, but I hear nary a peep about the debt ceiling standoff from DC’s Religion Industrial Complex: the Jim Wallis folks, progressive Catholics and Jews, Religion in Public Life, etc. Yet what Chuck Schumer calls the “three-ring circus” in the House of Representatives is more fraught with danger to America’s most vulnerable than any other Congr…

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…the show-me state felt they needed an official state wonder dog. (Specifically, Jim the Wonder Dog, who was not from Missouri but evidently baffled some important Missouri psychologists in the 1930s.)

Utah hasn’t sided with the Democrats since Lyndon Johnson’s landslide e…

Trump’s Mormon Problem

By Neil J. Young

Will Mormons vote for Donald Trump this November? With all the attention given to whether or not evangelicals will support Trump (and the related, if diversionary, question of whether those who do are actually “real” evangelicals), the question of Mormons in the 2016 election has largely been overlooked. On one hand, Mormons make up less than two percent of the American population, a small sliver compared to evangelicals and Catholics. But Mormon…

Judy Shepard Takes on ADF: Stop “Exploiting Children In the Name of Hate”

By Sunnivie Brydum

…while she has turned her son Matthew’s brutal murder into a decades-long rallying cry for hate crime protections and broad acceptance for LGBT people, the generally soft-spoken mother from Wyoming had some harsh words for the Alliance Defending Freedom in an op-ed published today in Time. She writes: I know my son Matt would be as disappointed as I am that hatred is taking a seat at the tables of our leadership right now. It seems like it’s gettin…
