Notice how it’s always, “our laws must be inspired by the Bible!” until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Trump is already facing pushback from Congress on his budget proposal and now he’s planning to override them entirely.
His new budget would slash nearly every federal program by a total of $163 billion while leaving defense spending untouched.

NEW: No fewer than 10 principle scientists at NIH investigating emerging infectious diseases and neural disorders were among those fired by RFK Jr. today.

We are actually living in a time where some Christians see mercy as offensive, empathy as a sin, and diversity, equity, and inclusion as a threat.

Lord, have mercy.

The Trump administration warned federal employees of “adverse consequences” for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, giving a 10-day deadline to report via a special email account.
