New from GPAHE: Sore Losers: Why Trump is Obsessed with Passing the SAVE Act

President Donald Trump is delaying bipartisan legislation and key nominations to pressure Congress into passing the SAVE Act, a sweeping voting bill that would make voter registration significantly more restrictive for millions of Americans. The push reflects Trump’s continued effort to reshape election rules ahead of the midterms, revive false narratives about voter fraud, and lay the groundwork to challenge future election results he refuses to accept. Election denial and Instilling fear into the electorate is how we got January 6.

New from GPAHE: Open Season: How the Trump Administration has Left Americans Exposed to Far-Right Violence

The Trump administration has systematically dismantled key federal programs, personnel, and funding dedicated to combating far-right extremism, gutting efforts across the Department of Justice, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and other agencies. GPAHE’s investigation also details the appointment of officials with documented ties to extremist movements or conspiracy theories and argues that counterterrorism resources have been redirected away from the country’s deadliest domestic extremist threat and toward political opponents, leaving vulnerable communities with fewer protections as far-right violence continues to pose a national security risk.

New from GPAHE: Inside the Network Reshaping America Through Christian Nationalism

GPAHE has launched a series of profiles examining key actors in American Christian nationalism in post–Project 2025 America. Christian nationalism is distinct from Christianity itself and mainstream churches have publicly rejected the movement as a distortion of the Christian faith. The figures profiled in this ongoing series are among the most influential voices advancing conservative Christian supremacist rule.

Paula White-Cain has spent decades blending political influence and Christian nationalist activism into a powerful national platform. Now, as head of the White House Faith Office, she oversees a network that reaches across the federal government while continuing to lead a ministry that asks for donations with promises of spiritual and material rewards. This profile traces her rise from televangelist to one of Donald Trump’s closest religious advisers, now with federal power.

Eric Metaxas built his reputation as a bestselling biographer of anti-Nazi theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and became one of Christian nationalism’s most influential public advocates. This profile examines how Metaxas repurposed Bonhoeffer’s legacy to advance a Christian nationalist vision of America, cultivating a mass audience through books, radio, and television, and secruing a seat on Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission.
