The New Apostolic Reformation has been staging Christian nationalist events on the National Mall for 25 years.
Today they finally got a White House-sponsored one.
This is what they've been building toward and prophesying.

My friend @JoshuaPVaughn and I led an amazing indepth reporting class this semester @PSUBellisario. Our students tackled ICE & its largest detention facility in the Northeast. Today the first of our 8-part series was published in @PennLive. So proud! pennlive.com/news/2026/05/a…

So cool to see BLUE POWER displayed alongside other great titles in bookstores all over! Really excited to talk about the book tonight at @ElliottBayBooks in Seattle at 7pm.

Actually wants to pay for more crime hysteria copaganda.

What I'm thinking about this week: Could supporting local news coverage of crime be a way to improve public safety?

@awinston Arnold is also piloting programs to collect DNA from arrestees. Like what.

1) Crime in the U.S. is at near-historic lows
2) The Arnold Foundation (OP's employer) bankrolled the worst episode of illegal police surveillance of the past 20 years (Baltimore spy plane - see link below )
3) Such philanthrophy is yet one more sign of a desperate oligarchy

@awinston copaganda is good, actually, wasn't a take i was ready for.

@JessPish Deeply fucked up and another example of how philanthropic funding for newsrooms can yoke ostensibly independent reporting to billionaires and their retrograde politics
English

Um, I think the lesson might actually be that clearance rates have nothing to do with "solving the crime" and are more about "looking impressive for the news." This is a fact-free take.

Chad Bianco has said that he is not influenced by "groups." This isn't true according to his own public records.

Interesting that Chad Bianco thinks it is acceptable to campaign in uniform.

California needs a leader tough enough for the problems we’re facing. Crime must be crime again. Sanctuary state laws must end. Fraud and waste must be exposed and prosecuted.

Internal emails show how fringe groups fueled Sheriff Chad Bianco’s ballot seizure calmatters.org/investigation/…

@AnatRubin1 and I published a story at @CalMatters about Sheriff Chad Bianco's "election investigation," which uses "evidence" from Christian nationalists, "constitutional sheriffs" and sovereign citizens.
