In case you missed it: I wrote a book. It's called "American Prophets: The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country." It's on the Religious Left, came out in paperback in April, and you can order it here: jackjenkins.me/american-proph…

ANOTHER harrowing account from ANOTHER priest working outside St. John’s who says they were run off by tear gas, etc before Trump’s photo op. Ends with a defiant decree: “I am now a force to be reckoned with.”

This is some level 12 biblical shade from the United Methodist Building. FYI: the Methodist building sits literally next to the Supreme Court, and across the street from the Capitol.

Interesting moment: Live on a CNN hot mic after her town hall, Harris is overheard speaking to an anti-abortion question-asker, saying that her position is ultimately about the role of government on the issue, and "never" about disparaging someone's faith.

Note: The person giving the sermon in question is Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington. Collins is suggesting deporting a U.S. citizen and bishop for delivering a sermon in accordance with their faith.
Rep. Mike Collins

The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.

Just spoke with Rev. Gerbasi. She told me that law enforcement with shields forced priests, others *off the church patio,* meaning they stepped on church property to expel people from it. As she put it: "They turned holy ground into a battle ground." Story coming.

Um, America Magazine — a Catholic Jesuit publication — has RESCINDED its endorsement of Kavanaugh following today’s hearing. Note: Kavanaugh is an alum of Georgetown prep, a Jesuit school.
The Editors: It is time for the Kavanaugh nomination to be withdrawn

1. So I’m just going to start a thread of all the faith groups/faith leaders condemning either the Trump admin’s zero tolerance policy that separates families (and/or asylum change), Sessions’ argument that the Bible supports its enforcement, or both. Here are a few.

You know what kind of website would adequately prepare for a massive influx of traffic for a highly anticipated story so it doesn’t crash? A news website.

1. Spoke w/Bishop Mariann Budde of the Washington Diocese. On Trump's remarks: "Everything he has said is antithetical to the teachings of our traditions and what we stand for as a church." ALSO: One of those driven out w/tear gas for the photo op was a *priest of the diocese.*
