“billionaire preachers” 🤔
If you’re wondering how in the hell we got here, and who’s behind it all, read Ava Kofman’s pulls-back-the-curtain investigation into two Texas billionaire preachers powering the Texas GOP to an even more extreme Dominionist stance. And their plans to go nationwide. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/02/m...
