I was reading today’s take on Pelley (which I definitely agree with Isaac on) but what caught my eye at the top was his list of guests for his live show. I was struck by how all his guests seem to be so ideologically narrow.

Kate Rosenfeld’s Free Press writing is all bog-standard conservative “the kids today are not alright.”

Kmele’s takes are mostly right-libertarian.

And Andy Mills is a Weissian victim of cancel culture who pivoted to alt media, and is another Free Presser.

I know that Tangle is not Left Right and Center, but it would be nice if the live shows reflected the ideological diversity the newsletter tries to.

I did appreciate Aubrey's post on Friday, but one large piece missing for me was that she never names Dominion Theology outright.

I can totally agree that not all Christian in politics are Christian Nationalists, but I would worry that if you just read that one piece you'd forget that the modern right is basically run by Catholic Integralists.

Here's some further reading:

The New Dominionism Tries to Rule - SPLC

The quiet rise of Christian dominionism - The Christian Century

Nudging Toward Theocracy: Adrian Vermeule’s War on Liberalism - Dissent

Also, not for nothing, but why are all these converts, rather than born Catholics? I feel like the American Catholic church is going to have another schism, with JD Vance as the Western Pope.
