After reporting state/church news in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Alaska, we devote a segment to the dangers of the proposed Christian-right authoritarian “Project 2025.” 

Then, we hear the engaging speech by Ron Reagan (son of the former president) given at FFRF’s annual convention last month, where he tells us about the authoritarian threats to our planet and to democracy — and what we can do about those threats.

The Democratic Push To Tax The Rich More Is 40 Years In The Making : NPR

… It's the dual mission of the tax portions of the reconciliation bill now taking shape in the tax-writing committees: to raise enough revenue to prevent the new spending from adding too much to future deficits.
