The absolute most disgusting, eliminationist Islamophobia from multiple members of the House Republican caucus continues to spew forth without acknowledgment or censure

More unvarnished, disgusting bigotry. Absolutely disqualifying.

Just want to note that this religious freedom victory did not come from the Satanic Temple, which has a 0% success rate in challenging abortion bans, including in Indiana

Between this and the "Man, why don't Evangelicals have any power in elite institutions??" article today, the Post's opinion page editors are really covering themselves in glory.

Inspired by @andrewhunterm.bsky.social's recurring Nominative Determinism Corner segment on No Such Thing As A Fish, I've finally decided to change careers and get into seafood thievery. (Original IG video here: www.instagram.com/p/DVg2-ejiBGK/)

Ah yes, the algorithmic filter bubble of my [checks notes] chronological following feed.

Green means good, right?

This is just bonkers, as evangelicals dominate Republican ranks in every branch of government. It shows that these extreme Christian nationalists don't want to just have a voice, they want Dominion

Ha! That little anointing ceremony in the Oval Office yesterday answers the question. So does any given day in congress, where Evangelical Bible studies, prayer breakfasts and blatantly Theocratic legislation fill the agenda.

Anybody know whether this falls under the "personal liberties" or the "free markets" pillar of @washingtonpost.com's editorial mandate?

Hey @realjaredhuffman.bsky.social just curious if you feel like evangelicals are underrepresented in the "halls of power" or if maybe there was some other religious demographic that might be a bit left out right now

Are there any actual editors still working on the WaPo opinion page? What a dumpster fire.

Yeah, Republicans are right. This is much less invasive and weird than Michelle Obama suggesting people should maybe eat an extra serving of veggies each day.

I wrote 2 books that lay out all that this implies: American Idolatry and Taking America Back for God In short, this country was founded for and remains the sole province of these men (straight, white, able-bodied, Protestant, natural born citizen) and their women and children.

There is nobody more hostile to American values and our constitution than these people.

You don't have to but you should anyway. As a treat.

And this is why it's important to always contest every seat.

May want to fumigate the jet, Markwayne.

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

The Party of Religious Freedom™

How could anyone have predicted that a Secretary of Defense with Crusader tattoos who attends a Christian nationalist church would get us into a religious Holy War? It’s a shocking development.

Call me a woke leftist or whatever but maybe it was a bad idea to hand over control of our military to a drunk theocrat who literally believes he has to start a world-ending war in order to bring about the return of Christ.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Arrest them.

A significant number of Americans think that being racist should be free speech but calling someone racist should not be.

Most of us in Britain aren’t Christian in our beliefs, practices, or identity. The only basis for national identity in our country is around the shared values and institutions of our plural society. Christian Nationalism is a divisive dead end. humanists.uk/2026/02/23/d...

Listen, I know I'm probably not the ideal messenger for this, but this feels pretty damn blasphemous (derogatory).

Your regular reminder that Huckabee, like many other far-right American evangelical Christians, "supports" Israel insofar as it means bringing about Armageddon — in the literal sense. A world-ending battle that will bring back Christ. It's the foundation of their politics in the Middle East.

I know we sort of live in a time in which personal morality is irrelevant in politics, but it’s worth noting that there are very credible allegations that at least two cabinet secretaries are presently engaged in affairs with coworkers; one with her right-hand man and the other with her bodyguard.

Is there some sort of two sexual assault minimum to be associated with this administration?

In other words, because *everything* Donald Trump says is an incoherent mess, it is no longer "particularly newsworthy" and they're generally happy to translate it into something vaguely lucid that supposedly reflects an actual policy position.

Ya know — and just hear me out here — maybe this is a sign that folks should be slightly more skeptical of literally everything Bret says about literally everything?

Is "I'd rather remove my own fingernails with a pair of pliers" too much?

Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson, who has argued that women should be denied the right to vote and Christian slaveowners were on “firm scriptural ground,” led a worship service at the Pentagon at the invitation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “For the larger MAGA right, as it was for the slaveholder radicals, the Declaration of Independence and its powerful vision of human equality stands as one of the chief obstacles to its effort to consummate its vision of domination,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

always push back

the logic of his position is that you would them abandon those issues and so on and so on until you’ve fully sacrificed a group of vulnerable americans to reactionary bullies for the sake of a percentage point (if that)

Cowards.

Fun fact: the NJ courts recommended ditching Bibles (or other items) for swearing in witnesses after a juror told a judge after the trial that they didn't trust the witness's testimony because he didn't put his hand on the Bible. The witness was, uh, not a Christian.

The Trump Administration's Department of Education just released new "guidance" about prayer and religious expression in public schools. Our legal director's view? It's bad. It's ridiculous. It's absurd. And it's exactly what we should expect from the White Christian Nationalist movement.

From @jamestalarico.bsky.social: "We are called to love all of our neighbors, including our Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, agnostic, and atheist neighbors. And forcing our religion down their throats is not love. It's why I fought so hard for that sacred separation in our First Amendment."

Absolutely not.

Randy Fine sharing unvarnished racism and bigotry on his official social media. Must be a day ending in Y. One of the most odious people in public life and it isn't close.

american culture without jazz, blues, rock, great swathes of hollywood, anime, most of its place names, most of its restaurants—just Elon musk sitting there in a hood lying about his trip to mars while murdering children.

Elon could have saved a lot of characters in that tweet by just sticking with the original 14 words.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
