Christian Nationalism and Alabama's IVF debate/Washington DC: the loneliest city? - Video

Alabama is debating the future of in vitro fertilization after its Supreme Court ruled that embryos have the legal protections of children. This is a textbook example of why "Christian Nationalism" threatens American democracy. I’ll explain the “Seven Mountains” movement Alabama’s Chief Justice supports, and I'll lay out Bible verses that prove this movement ain't as "Christian" as it claims.

A recent piece in Axios calls Washington DC the loneliest city in America: perhaps too career driven to make lasting friendships. After living there for 3 years while I worked on NPR, I’ll share my take, and see how some lawmakers hope to address loneliness in America. Washington was a terribly hard place for me to live while I hosted 1A, but not for the reasons Axios thinks.
