Joshua Holland kicks this week's show off with a rant about the over-the-top coverage of Liz Cheney's easily predicted primary defeat in a party that has become slavishly devoted to Dear Leader--coverage that pushed a generational effort to combat climate change off of the front page.

And then we'll be joined by Sarah Posner, whose beat is the religious right. Sarah has been monitoring the disturbing reaction to the FBI's low-key execution of a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago in the Evangelical Christian media, which has featured a mishmash of conspiracy theories, whataboutism and calls for retribution.
