Christian nationalism makes its mark on the campaign trail
More than 4 in 10 Americans think the U.S. should be a Christian nation. And one third say it already is. That’s according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center. But views on what that means vary. And on the campaign trail, overt Christian nationalist language is showing up more and more from right-wing candidates. Plus, Covid makes China’s economic woes even worse. And, the price of turkey is on the rise. Guest: Council on Foreign Relations' Zoe Liu, and Calvin University's Kristin Kobez Du Mez .

Finding the truth on Twitter could get much harder
Less than a week after Elon Musk officially became the owner of Twitter, there are reports that the company may start charging up to $20 a month for the subscription that will allow users to keep the blue verification checkmark which confirms that world leaders, celebrities, journalists, local politicians and many others are who they say they are. Making that a paid feature could risk opening Twitter up to lots more mis- and disinformation. Plus, salaries get more transparent in some states. And, affirmative action is in peril at the Supreme Court. Guest: Axios' Sara Fischer and Emily Peck, and The National Constitution Center's Jeffrey Rosen.
