Iran launches overnight missile attack on Israel
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL (Associated Press ) — Israel has warned of more attacks on Iran after Iran's deadly retaliatory missile strikes on Israel overnight and into Saturday. The blistering Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear program and its armed forces began on Friday. Israel's assault used warplanes, as well as drones smuggled into the country in advance, to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists. Iran's U.N. ambassador said 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded in the attacks. Israel said the barrage was necessary before Iran got any closer to building an atomic weapon. The Israeli attack also threw talks between the United States and Iran over an atomic accord into disarray days before the two sides were set to meet Sunday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Pro-Trump Christian artist issues ‘Confession' after several men accuse him of sexual assault
In a statement released to social media, Grammy Award-winning singer Michael Tait admits to abusing drugs and touching men without their consent. Grammy-winning contemporary Christian recording artist Michael Tait is coming clean after being accused of sexually assaulting several men, including young, male musicians. Tait, a former member of the Christian music groups DC Talk and Newsboys, released 'My Confession' in a statement posted to social media. 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity, are sadly, largely true,' said Tait, who has supported both presidential campaigns of President Donald Trump. 'I am ashamed of my life choices and actions. I will simply call it what God calls it–sin.' Tait, a 59-year-old native of Washington, D.C., is wildly successful in the Christian music industry, having sold 18 million albums and won four Grammy Awards. Much of his music has encouraged young Christian listeners to resist liberalism and live a life of sobriety, abstinence, and heterosexuality, reports The Guardian, which published an in-depth investigation of his alleged sexual misconduct and drug abuse. Tait's music was also part of the soundtrack to Trump's right-wing Make America Great Again, or MAGA, political movement. His song with Newsboys, 'God's Not Dead,' became a MAGA fixture. The 2011 song's popularity emerged during the conservative evangelical resistance to Barack Obama's presidency. Tait is credited with helping to connect Trump to white evangelical voters, who played a significant role in his 2016 election. During the 2016 election cycle, Tait, invited by Trump's friend Pastor Paula White, was among a group of Christians who prayed over Trump before a Florida campaign stop. Newsboys also notably performed for Trump at the White House in 2019. 'I love you, I support you, and I'm one of the growing number of African Americans who love you,' Tait once told Trump during a 2019 video expressing his support for Trump's prison reform policies. According to The Guardian, Tait is accused of engaging in a pattern of manipulative and abusive behavior with young male musicians in the early 2000s. Some of the alleged victims claim Tait offered the 'possibility of career or artistic opportunities.' When some men rebuffed him, Tait allegedly cut off all contact with them. The singer is accused of hosting parties at his home in Nashville, where he would encourage the men to drink alcohol and use drugs before he allegedly made sexual advances. At least two men said they were secretly drugged and were left in and out of consciousness, and were unable to consent to sexual acts. The alleged male victims claim Tait touched them without their permission. In his 'Confession,' Tait admits to once drinking 'far too much alcohol' and touching men in 'an unwanted sensual way.' He revealed that in early January, he spent six weeks in a Utah treatment center for his cocaine abuse and has been sober for six months. The Christian artist said he was 'ashamed' for living a double life and lying to his family, friends and fans. 'I have hurt so many people in so many ways, and I will live with that shameful reality for the rest of my life,' he wrote. 'I accept the consequences of my sin and am committed to continuing the hard work of repentance and healing work.'

The Christian argument for joining a "No Kings" protest against Donald Trump
'I don't feel like a king,' President Donald Trump told Republican lawmakers at the White House on Thursday in advance of the 'No Kings' rallies happening around the country on Saturday. Lest you think the president was acknowledging the restraints on his power, it actually sounded more like he was bemoaning those constitutional guardrails and giving voice to kingly ambitions. He has made his kingly ambitions known on social media this year. 'LONG LIVE THE KING!' he posted on Truth Social in February. The White House account on X upped the ante by posting an AI-generated image of a coronated Trump on the cover of Time magazine with the headline 'LONG LIVE THE KING!' In March, he reposted an AI-generated image of a lion wearing a crown labeled MAGA with the caption 'Kings!' Though Saturday is expected to be a high tide of authoritarianism — Trump is staging a $45 million birthday military parade even as he deploys the National Guard and Marines to squash political dissent in Los Angeles — the more than 2,000 'No Kings' rallies scheduled across the country should reflect an equally high tide of resistance. I'm attending the flagship march and rally in Philadelphia, the city where the founders of the United States declared independence from the king of England and where we will declare our refusal to cower to a would-be king in the White House. For the Philadelphia protest, Faithful America, an online community of progressive Christians, is bringing its giant Trump Golden Calf balloon. It's a reference to the Exodus passage about the ancient Israelites worshipping an idol they created while Moses was away on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments. The Trump Golden Calf sends the unmistakable message that Christians worshipping Trump is idolatrous, and we rebuke our siblings in Christ who are providing spiritual cover for Trump's authoritarian destruction of American democracy. Trump shows no evidence of personal piety or of an attempt to follow Jesus Christ — recall when he said he never had to ask God for forgiveness — and has made it a priority to aid the wealthy and attack the most vulnerable in our society. He exhibits the polar opposite of Christian social ethics. And yet Trump rode back to the White House with Christian support, and many evangelical and Catholic leaders continue to stand by him even now. At this pivotal moment, every Christian must ask whether their allegiance is to Christ or to Trump. 'Religious actors and communities have historically played key roles in both propping up and in dismantling authoritarian systems,' pro-democracy organizers Dr. Maria J. Stephan and Chris Crawford write in the 'Faithful Fight' toolkit published by Protect Democracy. 'Religious symbols, slogans, rituals, organizing infrastructure and communications networks have been important sources of power for autocrats and pro-democracy movements alike.' As we march today, the Trump administration continues to terrorize communities in Los Angeles. Consider this account in The New York Times from a pastor there: The Rev. Tanya Lopez, senior pastor of Downey Memorial Christian Church, said she was in her office on Wednesday when three SUVs with tinted windows pulled up to her church. Then, Ms. Lopez said, five men, some wearing badges and tan bulletproof vests that said 'POLICE,' rushed out of the vehicles and detained a man in the parking lot. The men, Ms. Lopez said, refused to identify which agency they worked for, and they did not share their names or badge numbers when asked. Their vehicles had out-of-state license plates. They also did not provide a warrant, she said. They took the man into a black SUV. And, Ms. Lopez said that as she shouted instructions in Spanish to the man inside the vehicle, an agent drew a rifle at her. When an officer pulls a gun on a pastor, it's clear that Christians need to take sides. And yet Trump is sending an unmistakable signal: Christians who step out of line will be targeted. The Trump administration has already attacked the Catholic bishops, the Lutheran Church and Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde. Trump's congressional allies this week launched an aggressive investigation of a wide range of faith-based groups for their work with migrants. There are signs of growing Christian resistance to Trump's authoritarianism. Majorities of all Christian groups oppose Trump's military parade, according to a new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute. This includes Hispanic Catholics (87%), Black Protestants (85%), Hispanic Protestants (78%) white mainline Protestants (72%), white Catholics (65%) and white evangelical Protestants (64%). In the Gospel of Luke, God sends the angel Gabriel to Mary who tells her that Jesus will be given 'the throne of David, his father. He will rule over Jacob's house forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.' Christians believe Christ's kingdom will reign forever. As American Christians in the year 2025, we must also believe and work to ensure that Trump's power, granted to him by voters, ends at the end of his second term in accordance with the Constitution. And every day, until the end of his presidency, he must be prevented from acting like a king and made to remember that we live in a democracy. This article was originally published on
