A Dallas-area pastor known for his involvement in GOP politics and his close relationship with President Donald Trump has been indicted in Oklahoma on child sex charges which stretch back four decades. Robert Morris was the lead pastor of the Gateway megachurch until last year when he resigned due to sexual abuse allegations. The 63-year-old served on Trump's Evangelical Advisory Board in 2016, hosted the President's 2020 "Roundtable on Transition to Greatness" a fundraising dinner which cost $580,600 per couple, and worked to organize Evangelicals in 2021 ahead of Trump's 2024 Presidential bid. He is now indicted in Oklahoma for allegedly committing repeated indecent acts to a child in Oklahoma in the 1980s.

The mayor of Miami Beach is proposing to terminate a lease agreement and discontinue thousands of dollars in financial support for an independent film theater after it screened an Oscar-winning documentary about the ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis in the West Bank. In a newsletter sent to residents Tuesday night, Mayor Steven Meiner explained his objections over the documentary “No Other Land,” which has had several showings at O Cinema, an art house film cinema in South Beach, despite pressure from Meiner to cancel the screenings. He called the film, which won an Academy Award last week but has faced criticism from supporters of Israel, “a false one-sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people that is not consistent with the values of our City and residents.” Meiner is now introducing city legislation that seeks to terminate the lease agreement with the cinema, which rents space from the city at the old City Hall on Washington Avenue, and to immediately cut all city funding.

A major chapter in climate giving has ended. Breakthrough Energy, the climate philanthropy organization founded by Bill Gates, is closing its policy and advocacy office and has laid off much of its staff in Washington, D.C., Heatmap News has learned. The layoffs will effectively gut an organization central to the effort to enact the package of clean energy tax cuts passed during the Biden administration. They will also silence one of the few environmental nonprofits that supported nuclear energy, direct air capture, and other new zero-carbon energy innovations. More than three dozen employees across the United States and Europe are affected by the layoffs, including the office’s senior leadership. The layoffs, first reported by The New York Times, come amid a wider billionaire pullback from donating to climate causes. The president and CEO of the Bezos Earth Fund departed last month, and the fund has yet to name a permanent replacement. Gates had already significantly diminished his climate giving earlier this year, slashing Breakthrough Energy’s grantmaking budget last month.
