The Briefing with Michael WaldmanA Presidential Lawbreaking SpreeIn the first few weeks of his second term, Donald Trump has engaged in a display of unprecedented executive power, in most cases without legal authority.

Daarbij zijn er drie gijzelaars vrijgekomen en zijn er hulpgoederen Gaza binnen gegaan. De media berichten over iedere stap, waardoor journalist Laurens Vreekamp het gevoel heeft "erbij" te zijn.

Volgens Tessel Linders, politiek verslaggever bij Omroep Brabant, was het "spannend" of de deal ook echt tot uiting zou komen. "Het was een ontlading toen je de beelden zag." Op de beelden was te zien hoe een gijzelaar weer thuiskwam. "Dit is de onderhandeling en wat er uitgekomen is. H...

Good FaithAnxiety and ImmigrationOne cannot make sense of the deformation of the current conservative movement without understanding immigration. And one cannot grasp the nature of immigration without understanding anxiety. Like most political issues today, the topic of immigration is bathed in anxiety - for everyone on all sides. Curtis draws these connections, with the ultimate aim to show that Christians can uniquely contribute to the conversation about immigration because we have uniquely good news about anxiety. This episode draws from Curtis' talk at a convening of the National Immigration Forum in Ohio that included local pastors and civic leaders.

This in turn has experts who are studying the preparations for the November 3 election to express deep concern that we may be heading into a period of profound crisis for our system, one that, should Trump prevail in undermining the will of the people could mean the collapse of...
