Wednesday's Catch: 'Please don’t call the TheoBros Christians' And More


Please don’t call the TheoBros Christians 
Rodney Kennedy takes a look at a group of online influencers who Southern Baptists and other evangelicals call the TheoBros.

What they’ve gained 
Every time we report on another atrocity committed by President Donald Trump and his administration, people ask why evangelicals continue to support the cruelty and criminality of Trump’s dictates.

The president isn’t ‘born again’
For the past decade, evangelical pastors like Paula White have sworn to us Trump is a Christian. James Dobson even went as far to say Paula White led Trump to faith in Jesus. It’s time for us to stop buying that lie.

DHS is using the Bible to promote ICE, claiming ‘righteous’ fight against immigrants
The agency refers to Scripture as it seeks to recruit agents who are pivotal in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Attendance drops, fear rises in immigrant churches as Trump takes over DC
‘I never thought I had one day to cancel Sunday worship because it is not safe for our Latino siblings to come to church. But here we are … ,’ wrote one pastor on Facebook.

Infants, toddlers should be vaccinated against COVID, AAP says, at odds with RFK Jr.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said on Tuesday that children ages 6 months to 23 months should receive a COVID-19 vaccine, in contrast with federal health officials.

The recommendations are part of the AAP's annual childhood immunization schedule, which includes guidance for COVID, flu and RSV vaccines for those aged 18 and younger.

What Kids Told Us About How to Get Them Off Their Phones
One common explanation for why children spend so much of their free time on screens goes like this: Smartphones and social-media platforms are addicting them. Kids stare at their devices and socialize online instead of in person because that’s what tech has trained them to want.

But this misses a key part of the story. The three of us collaborated with the Harris Poll to survey a group of Americans whose perspectives don’t often show up in national data: children. What they told us offers a comprehensive picture of how American childhood is changing—and, more important, how to make it better.
