Johnson says he still controls the House. Some fellow Republicans disagree. - The Washington Post
For the fourth time in recent weeks, a group of frustrated Republicans banded with Democrats to try to force a vote on legislation that Johnson fought to keep from reaching the House floor. Tensions boiled over Wednesday when four moderate Republicans — scorned by Johnson's decision to withhold votes on their health care proposals — joined all Democrats in muscling the House to vote next month on a bill led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) that would extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years…

The Slave Bible (Data Over Dogma episode #101)
Christians have had a missionary zeal since the beginning. From the dawn of Christianity, the mandate to share the "good news" has been a central theme of Christian life. But what is a Christian to do when it is clear that the audience they want to share the gospel with would react poorly to much of what's in the Bible? Well, at least in one case, the solution was just redact the heck out of it.
On this week's show, we're talking about "The Slave Bible," a heavily truncated version of the good book, created for white enslavers to share with the black people they had enslaved. Why did they cut most of the book out? What parts did they see fit to leave in? And why did they want to preach Jesus' message to people whose humanity they clearly didn't honor or even acknowledge?
Then, inspired by a preacher who recently had a lot to say on the subject, we're diving into the question of wealth. Much is said in the Bible about money, and the having of it. Specifically the having of a lot of it. There are famous passages about camels going through the eyes of needles, for example. But maybe that part felt a little ambiguous... Did Jesus really say "blessed are the poor" or did he say "blessed are the poor in spirit"? Is that difference that even makes sense?

Weekly Roundup: Vigilantism – So Wrong, yet so Right (Dan Miller and Bradley Onishi; Straight White American Jesus podcast
Brad and Dan begin by analyzing the surge in vigilantism on the American Right. Brad discusses how vigilantism often rises in times when there is a question of who belongs in the community – and what it means to have a working social order. Dan discusses the ways that vigilantism rises when law and order no longer work – and the perceived need for violence beyond the law takes hold.
In the second segment they argue that the bevy of far-right laws passed in Florida represent the attempt to make the vigilante’s myopic vision of social order the law. From taking trans kids from their parent, to banning books, to destabilizing higher education, and investigating fifth grade teachers for showing a film with a queer character . . .

Opinion | When are Democrats going to fight back against the Republican war on schools? - The Washington Post
…We're seeing another iteration of a common Republican strategy: Wait for some liberal somewhere to voice an idea that will sound too extreme to many voters if presented without context and in the most inflammatory way possible, inflate that idea way beyond its actual importance, claim it constitutes the entirety of the Democratic agenda, and play on people's fears to gin up a backlash...
