Dear All,

CBS News has a story about Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville trying to clear up comments made late last week about white nationalists serving in the US military. NPR also has a story about Sen. Tuberville’s comments.  Vox has an article on the nationalist dark side of Joe Biden’s climate policies. Washington Post ( paysite) has an op-ed discussing how the Texas legislature has been gripped by Christian nationalism.

Reuters (paysite) published an article covering how a Russian nationalist group, known as the "Club of Angry Patriots," is entering politics as an opposition party without instruction from the Kremlin.

US News has a story about the leader of Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru, stepping down after a report revealed a culture of sexual harassment, bullying, and discrimination in the party.

Fox News published a piece on India’s ruling Hindu nationalist party challenged in the southern Indian state of Karnataka where it holds power.

Regards,
