It should be obvious by now that the cast of ABC's The View were not pleasant people to be around. Aside from their incitements to violence and Sunny Hostin's racism, in 2025, there were more than a few moments that proved that politics had rotted their souls so terribly that they couldn't be described as anything more than miserable crones. They couldn't even celebrate universally good things or condemn the universally bad. From mocking a literal four-year-old's name to refusing to give organs to their Trump supporting friends to cheering on rising abortion rates, NewsBusters presents the eight worst times The View were miserable and nasty crones. The View's Abortion Lovers Decry Trump Plan to Increase U.S. Birth Rate The liberal ladies of The View loved abortion so much that they actively decried and denounced President Trump's plan to increase America's birth rate. Between cries of global overpopulation and cries of racism, the shrieking liberals tried to make every argumen…

MICHAEL STEELE (CO-HOST): As they look to set up 2026, right, and make the case that if a Democrat wins, I don't care give a damn where, it was by fraud, it was cheating. Talk about what this looks like. You know, even if the courts don't side with Trump, that's really not where the battle is. The battle is what they're doing and why they want the data and the fact that their boy Mr., you know, rocket man got there with his little, you know, organization and pulled back that data, started collecting data from people, Elon Musk and his crew. So what does this look like? ANGELO CARUSONE (GUEST): So, you're right. I mean, I think that, you know, there are a lot of conspiracies or narratives or ideas from 2020 that they're still going to pull the thread on all over the place, right? QAnon and, you know, obviously, things related to vaccines and healthcare, which we'll talk about later, I'm sure, and the voting rules stuff. And it's not just -- when I say they, it's important to keep in …

In one of the most perilous regions of the world, an American missionary is quietly building an army – not with weapons, but with prayer. Carole Ward has made it her life's mission to follow God's call and train fearless believers in Africa's Sahel region. The Sahel region of Africa isn't the kind of place you just wander into. You're called here. "It's very dry. It's very sandy. It's dusty. It's desert. It can be 100, 115 degrees year-round," Ward tells CBN News. This vast stretch of land cuts across ten African nations, from Senegal to Eritrea. It's a land of extremes – scorching heat, shifting sand, and deadly danger. More than half of the world's terror-related deaths happen here. It's the front line in a spiritual and physical battle.

With the Big Tent Initiative, Christianity Today aims to build bridges of conversation and common cause across our political and racial divides. Our writers this year tackled a host of topics, from questions about evangelical identity to the masculinity crisis to political debates surrounding the Smithsonian Institution. Pastor and author Chris Butler mapped out how evangelicals and the Black church can avoid being ensnared by politics, writer Justin Hampton made the case that friendship requires intentionality, and editorial director Sho Baraka argued we can, in fact, use "colloquial theology." Here are our favorite Big Tent essays and podcast episodes of 2025.

President Donald Trump again touted his "perfect" overall health and said all presidential candidates should take a mandatory cognitive exam. In a Friday post on Truth Social, Trump said White House doctors have reported he is in "PERFECT HEALTH" and that he "ACED" his cognitive examination for the "third straight time" — something he claimed no other president or vice president has been willing to do. Trump added that anyone seeking the presidency or vice presidency should be required to pass a "strong, meaningful, and proven" cognitive test.

GOP lawmakers are fleeing for the exit in droves, with many pointing to a Congress that they argue has grown too dysfunctional and a demanding schedule that leaves little time for their families. More than 50 lawmakers in both parties have announced decisions to leave their seats, scrambling the calculus on both sides of the aisle ahead of next year's high-stakes midterms. The wave of exits could be particularly ominous for Republicans in charge of the House and Senate. The number exiting is nearly on par with 2018, a dismal midterm year for the GOP. Some lawmakers frustrated with inaction on Capitol Hill plan to run for governor and other state-wide offices, while others are stepping back from public office altogether.

Obamacare subsidies used by more than 20 million expired Thursday. Now Democrats are ready to make them a centerpiece of their midterm campaigns. The lapse of enhanced premium tax credits, first passed as a pandemic-era relief measure under President Joe Biden in 2021, will immediately hit the pocketbooks of voters — some of whom will see their monthly insurance premiums rise by hundreds of dollars. Efforts to extend them in some fashion continue on Capitol Hill, but Democratic lawmakers and strategists are already moving to turn the expiration of the subsidies into a potent election-year attack on congressional Republicans. They note that unlike other Democratic messaging targets — such as recent GOP Medicaid cuts that won't kick in until after midterm ballots are cast — the lost tax credits are already tangible proof of what's at stake on Election Day.

The new year presents the greatest opportunity for the expansion of freedom, and the demise of repressive and anti-American regimes, in the Caribbean that we have seen in decades. First, Venezuela. Last year the democratic forces there won a landslide victory in the presidential election — despite the fact that the regime tried desperately to fix the outcome. Edmundo González, the opposition candidate and a virtual unknown prior to his candidacy, won 70-30 and would have won by a greater margin had the election been fair. Had María Corina Machado, whom the opposition had chosen as its candidate, been permitted to run, the margin would, again, have been greater. The desire of the Venezuelan people to get rid of the corrupt and brutal Maduro regime is clear.
