Weekly Roundup: Project 2025 in Action: The Indictment of the SPLC (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

The Trump DOJ has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — the same organization known for helping dismantle the Ku Klux Klan. What’s really going on?

In this week’s Straight White American Jesus roundup, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down the indictment, the legal claims behind it, and why many experts see this as part of a much larger strategy tied to Project 2025.

Is this about fraud… or about redefining political opposition as “domestic terrorism”? And what happens if the government can label nonprofits, activists, or critics of MAGA as national security threats?

We also cover:
  • The logic behind the DOJ’s case against the SPLC 
  • How informants are used by law enforcement (and why this matters) 
  • The broader push to criminalize dissent 
  • Redistricting battles in Virginia and what they mean for 2026 
  • Palantir, tech power, and the rise of a “civilizational” political vision

Staff decry ‘constant turbulence’ under Trump’s labor secretary, as she blames ‘deep state’ in resignation

“Secretary Chavez-DeRemer advanced the administration’s anti-worker agenda, facing removal only for the scandals she was involved in, and not the decisions she made that reduced oversight of workplace safety and enforcement of labor laws, leaving workers more vulnerable to injury, wage theft and exploitation,” said the congressional members in a statement. “Her tenure leaves workers with less protections and greater economic insecurity.”…

"Where's Jesus?" (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It's in the Code ep 188

Josh Hawley tells us he's giving us a vision of Christian "manhood." 

But as we near the end of his book on the subject, is he? 

In this episode, Dan argues that there's actually nothing specifically Christian about Hawley's account of manhood at all. 

In fact, he argues, Hawley goes to length NOT to discuss any specifically Christian themes, even when he comes to the chapter on men as "priests?" 

So what's going on? Check out this week's episode to find out!
