Texas lawmakers want to honor "God’s promises" every April — for a full decade — while public schools crumble.

FFRF is proud to be named in this piece for calling out this pandering.

The Bible belongs in churches, not the statehouse.
A Republican-led resolution in Texas would designate every April for the next 10 years as “Promise Month,” symbolizing the promises God supposedly made in the Bible.

(Meanwhile, public education in the state continues to rot.)

Whether it's tariffs, tax cuts, or deregulation, the benefits are not going to trickle down. They never do.

Most of the financial gains will go to the top, and nothing will trickle down except risks and losses as working people continue struggling to make ends meet. www.reuters.com/world/us/bes...
Bessent says Trump's tariff, tax-cut, deregulation agendas will drive investment to US
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday said President Donald Trump's tariff, tax-cut and deregulation agenda would work together to drive long-term investment to the U.S. economy, adding that U.S. financial markets were "anti-fragile" and would weather any short-term turbulence.

Thank you, @rephuffman.bsky.social, for taking on the dangerous deception of Health Care Sharing Ministries.

These religious loopholes masquerade as insurance, leaving people vulnerable.

Consumers deserve real coverage—not faith-based false promises.
Health Care Sharing Ministries' deceptive marketing tactics and overt appeals to religion keep leading people into inadequate medical coverage.

My bill would help protect consumers from these predatory practices and ensure consumers have access to clear, accurate information.

We're on it.

Government buildings aren't pulpits — and flying a Christian flag over City Hall is a clear violation of church/state separation.

We’ll be working to correct this unconstitutional action and defend the rights of all Hartford residents.
Hartford raised a Christian flag at City Hall… again.

It was illegal the first time.

It's illegal now.

The City Council was warned—and did it anyway.

It's a blatant violation of church/state separation.👇

The 7-2 vote ignored legal precedent as well as the city’s own ordinance. It's a gamble that may not pay off.

Using the excuse of a single national security emergency, real or fake, the fascist dictator takes complete control… totalitarianism. Any courageous opposition is silenced or imprisoned.

The Fascist dictator: “Always right.” “Many enemies…much honor.” “Believe, obey, fight.” That pretty much sums things up in a dozen words.
