Via email from the Family Research Council: The Biden administration has proposed new federal guidelines that would politicize the civil service and potentially bar Christians and others who hold disfavored opinions from government employment.

Via email from the Family Research Council: Pope Francis told reporters on the Vatican plane that laws that make it illegal to engage in same-sex intercourse are a “sin” and an “injustice,” because homosexuality “isn’t a crime.” While his comments were strictly about anti-sodomy laws — such as the ones America had before the Supreme Court struck them down in …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Shortly after the Biden administration issued a rule allowing most pharmacies to dispense the abortion-inducing pill mifepristone, representatives from the retail pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens confirmed that they plan to stock the substance — a move that will put more women’s lives in danger and “transform pharmacies from centers of healing into …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: The Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBT group, hosted their “Spirit of Lincoln” gala Thursday night at Mar-a-Lago, the residence of former president Donald Trump.

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Earlier this week, President Biden signed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act, which not only codifies same-sex marriage into federal law but also opens wide the door to endless litigation and persecution of those who hold to a biblical and natural view of marriage.

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: President Biden has now unleashed one of the greatest assaults on religious freedom in modern history. The principles of our First Freedom, guaranteed in our Constitution, that he swore to ‘preserve, protect and defend,’ are now in even greater jeopardy. These founding principles have been challenged for seven years since the Obergefell …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Today is a dark day for religious freedom. The Left’s forces of religious hostility, aided by 12 Republican senators and 39 Republican representatives, advanced what history may ultimately record as one of the greatest assaults on religious freedom in modern history.

Semafor reports: Call it a crisis of faith. Despite appointing the conservative judges who ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade — and fervently courting the religious right during his presidency — prominent evangelicals are beginning to shy away from supporting former President Donald Trump’s third bid for office. A major factor is the same issue driving leaders in other parts of …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: On Tuesday night, the U.S. Senate passed the so-called “Respect for Marriage” Act which critics say invites “predatory lawsuits” against people of faith, stigmatizes biblical values, and drives Christians from the public square.

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: If the 12 Republican senators who voted for the Democrats’ same-sex marriage bill don’t have buyer’s remorse, they will. Take it from Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). Ever since his “yea” vote in July, the House Freedom Caucus chair has been squarely in the blast zone of movement conservatives. Now, as his …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: The bill enshrines “the government picking winners and losers on the basis of who adheres to a particular, favored religious orthodoxy — and punishing those that don’t adhere to that,” Senator Mike Lee told Tony Perkins.
