The Best One Yet - “They Macchiato’d a sugarplum” — Dunkin’s experiential thing. Microsoft’s eSports binge. Boeing’s stunt marketing.
Dunkin’ whipped up a color-changing drink and it’s the opposite of every other food chain’s strategy right now. Microsoft just acquired an ecosystem for eSports (still sad it couldn’t buy TikTok). And Boeing stock jumped 8% because stunt marketing works, whether you’re the Brooklyn Bridge or a tainted airplane.

NBN Book of the Day - E. Chemerinsky and H. Gillman, “The Religion Clauses: The Case for Separating Church and State” (Oxford UP, 2020)
Throughout American history, views on the proper relationship between the state and religion have been deeply divided. And, with recent changes in the composition of the Supreme Court, First Amendment law concerning religion is likely to change dramatically in the years ahead.
In The Religion Clauses: The Case for Separating Church and State (Oxford University Press, 2020), Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman, two of America's leading constitutional scholars, begin by explaining how freedom of religion is enshrined in the First Amendment through two provisions.
They defend a robust view of both clauses and work from the premise that that the establishment clause is best understood, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, as creating a wall separating church and state. After examining all the major approaches to the meaning of the Constitution's religion clauses, they contend that the best approaches are for the government to be strictly secular and for there to be no special exemptions for religious people from neutral and general laws that others must obey. In an America that is only becoming more diverse with respect to religion, this is not only the fairest approach, but the one most in tune with what the First Amendment actually prescribes.
Both a pithy primer on the meaning of the religion clauses and a broad-ranging indictment of the Court's misinterpretation of them in recent years, The Religion Clauses shows how a separationist approach is most consistent with the concerns of the founders who drafted the Constitution and with the needs of a religiously pluralistic society in the 21st century.

What A Day - Runoff The Jewels
There’s about a month left to go until the two Senate runoffs in Georgia, with Republican Senators Loeffler and Perdue walking the line of campaigning as a check on Biden while also not admitting that he will be the President. Meanwhile, Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are focusing largely on the pandemic and the multi-million dollar stock trades both their Republican opponents made in its early weeks.
We spoke to Nse Ufot, the CEO of the New Georgia Project, which registered almost half a million people in Georgia leading up to the November election. She told us about what matters to voters in Georgia, how she thinks Trump’s attacks on the integrity of the election is affecting the race, and more.
And in headlines: Bangladesh moves Rohingya families to a settlement on a remote island, Facebook to remove false COVID-19 vaccine info, and mayors are behaving badly.

The Daily Signal - Here’s How COVID-19 Restrictions Curb Religious Freedom
Exactly how have COVID-19 restrictions on churches and other places of worship affected First Amendment freedoms?
What happened when the Supreme Court last week blocked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's limits on religious gatherings?
What about the situation in California, where Godspeak Calvary Chapel's pastor, Rob McCoy, reportedly turned his church into a "strip club" so it could stay open?
Zack Smith, a legal fellow in the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss these angles and more.
We also cover these stories:
- President Trump criticizes Attorney General William Barr for saying he hasn't seen evidence of widespread voter fraud in the presidential election.
- The president still wants to repeal a legal provision that protects Facebook and Twitter from liability, although other Republicans aren’t keen on doing so.
- The COVID-19 vaccine gets promotional star power as former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama say they're willing to get the shot to help build Americans' trust in it.
