The Bulletin discusses the US attack on Houthis in Yemen, the presidential candidates’ appeal to Black male voters, and the closing of Kmart.

This week, we discuss the breaking news that US B-2 bombers attacked the Houthis in Yemen. Then, we welcome Christianity Today’s Big Tent editorial director, Sho Baraka, to talk about the presidential candidates and their appeal to Black male voters. Finally, the closure of the last Kmart invites conversation on the community implications of retail closures and why nostalgia holds such power.
