A pastor aligned with the hard-right Reformed theology of influential Christian nationalist Doug Wilson
is promoting and pursuing a plan to fulfill the “dominion mandate”
by moving like-minded people into sparsely populated rural counties, colonizing and discipling
“Christian settlements,”
and building miniature civilizations based on their religious worldview.

It was a plan House G.O.P. leaders hoped would satisfy everyone in their party:
With a special budget bill, they would bypass Democratic opposition and provide tens of billions for the Iran war while imposing new election restrictions Trump has demanded.
Instead, a day after the leaders released the plan, which hews closely to a spending request the White House sent to Capitol Hill last month,
it became clear it is a product that no one really likes.

Such a fitting twist for our Dutch Climate Classic. My colleague Daan and I were going to participate in the 250 km cycling tour along the 1 meter altitude line this coming Friday.
But now it's going to be 32 to 33°C and humid, so a National Heat Plan is in force, and the organisation takes care to ensure that no participant is on the bike after 2 p.m. Distance halved. Welcome to the new climate!
