🚨 White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt today:
“Our nation was founded, almost 250 years ago, on Judeo-Christian values.”
The Treaty of Tripoli. 1797. Signed by Founding Father John Adams. Ratified unanimously by the Senate:
“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
Thomas Jefferson — who wrote the Declaration of Independence — was a deist who literally cut the miracles out of his Bible.
James Madison — the father of the Constitution — explicitly warned against the “diabolical hell conceived principle of persecution” by state religion.
The First Amendment’s opening words:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
They put it first.
Jared Kushner’s appointment as special envoy for peace means he must file a public financial disclosure within 30 days.
It appears he still hasn't—and we'll keep pushing for it until he does. And we'll keep pushing for him to divest as well.

In the dramatic circumstances of war, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda. It is every journalist's duty to verify the news, so as not to become a megaphone for power. They must show the suffering that war always brings to populations, which entails showing the face of war and recounting it through the eyes of victims.
Why has President Trump chosen Russia over Ukraine. Why has he chosen authoritarianism over democracy. Why has he chosen to alienate America's allies for more than 80 years. And why aren't the media asking him these questions.
According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?
Let’s kill this lie once and for all.
Voter fraud isn’t a crisis.
The real strategy is convincing you it is so they can make voting harder.
Fear is the tool.
Voter suppression is the goal.
The right to vote is a precious commodity.
Don’t let anyone strip you of that power.

Maher: So being Christian is an important part of being truly American?
Boebert: Absolutely
@JamesTalarico: As a Christian, I was taught that we're supposed to follow Jesus' two commandments — love God and love neighbor. There was no exception to that second commandment.
Love thy neighbor regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation or immigration status or religious affiliation.
In Texas, I'm constantly battling Christian nationalism — a bill that forces every public school teacher to put up a poster of the 10 Commandments, a bill that replaces school counselors with untrained chaplains, a bill that would have taught Christian Bible stories as historical fact to our youngest students. And I always speak up on behalf of my Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, agnostic, and atheist neighbors. Because we as Christians are called to love them as ourselves, and forcing my religion down their throats is not love.
This is a crime. If you read the Board of Peace charter, you understand it has nothing to do with the American government; it's a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment. This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.
.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.
Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.
Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.
There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.
$38,300,000,000 of your tax dollars.
Not for healthcare. Not for education. Not for small businesses.
But for mass-detention camps.
It’s flat out UNAMERICAN.
Nobody can sit on the sidelines — it will take all of us fighting back together to stop this.
The average American lost about $1,000 last year because of Donald Trump’s tariffs, and this year they’re set to lose $1,300 more. Yet the entire MAGA movement keeps insisting it’s not a tax and that American consumers don’t pay it. They can’t gaslight their way out of this.
