Pete Hegseth may go 'on bended knee' in worship as a private citizen, but he has no right to impose his sectarian beliefs, much less those of his personal Christian nationalist pastor, on Pentagon staff. Presidents aren't divinely appointed, nor is Jesus 'King' of the U.S.

We honor the late Justice Souter for his dissent siding with FFRF over our right to sue over Bush's faith-based offices in 2007. His words in 2012 warning of an uninformed public leading to a strongman ("This is how democracy dies") were so prescient.

More of our signs at today's Indivisible protest in Madison, Wis. I estimate 30,000, maybe 50,000? people attended the rally at the Capitol Square with a march down State Street. The rows of "We the People" just didn't stop.
