Only five false claims in a minute? David Barton would be disappointed. Those are rookie numbers.

Your freedom from prison should never depend on surrendering your freedom of religion. Kudos to American Atheists and Colorado advocates for securing this important victory. Recovery should be about getting help, not being coerced into religious participation.

Nothing says “Christian love” quite like threatening violence because someone exercised their First Amendment rights. Christian nationalists love religious freedom until someone else exercises it.

America is not a Christian nation or a Muslim nation. It’s a secular republic where freedom of religion means freedom for everyone, including the freedom to reject religion entirely. No religion gets to claim ownership of our government.

Atheists don’t hate God. We don’t think he exists. We advocate for thinking freely and following your own beliefs. It’s the religious authoritarians who claim to know exactly what God demands, then try to impose those demands on everyone else. Who’s playing God again?

Murder and rape are wrong because they cause immense harm and violate the rights and autonomy of other human beings. If you need a god to tell you that murder and rape are wrong, that says a lot more about you than it does about atheists.

Harry Truman once said, “Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.” He was right then, and Republicans are proving him right today. Watch.

Enough is enough. Tell Congress to put a stop to these illegal and immoral strikes at aclu.org/stop-boat-strikes-

Turns out the less time people spend in church, the more likely they are to support equal rights for their neighbors. Across nearly every religious group, more church means less support for same-sex marriage. Seems pretty clear: less church is better for society.

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

For our mega-survey on populist attitudes, we asked whether people would prefer a more multi-party system or a two-party system. The former blew the latter out of the water. Asked about specific reforms to get there, people are less sure. Also, Trump populists are the most fond of the status quo.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

Between Trump’s sham “religious liberty commission” and all the ways Trump has been trying to rewrite our history as a Christian nation leading up to America’s 250th birthday, Congress needs to make it crystal clear our government is not ruled by one religion.

There is no need for fireworks now with drone shows. No need for pets and vets to cower and for wild life to suffer as well as the pollution and noise. I said what I said.

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

🚨NEWS: Congressional probe alleges massive fraud in Trump-aligned Freedom 250, alleging Trump allies misled donors, hijacked America’s 250th, and sold access for millions

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on Jan 20, 2025, it would be worth $415 today. People didn't buy these coins as an investment. They bought them to put money in Trump's pockets in exchange for something they want. It's the scummiest grift operation ever to hit the presidency.

Volume II of Jack Smith's final report detailing Trump's shocking misconduct in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case is being wrongly withheld from the public We @democracydefendersaction.org & with Platkin LLP filed this brief for 10 US Senators We will help pop Vol. II loose for all to see

Italian undersecretary and senator Fazzolari: “It is unclear whether out of intent or ineptitude Trump is wrecking the historic relations between the US and Europe. With his inappropriate outbursts, he managed no easy feat - to make the US unpopular across the entire continent.”

Reminder: Murdering criminals without due process is not justice nor is it just. Calling them "terrorists" does not make it any better.

Yet again, America’s economy has shown up the rest of the world. But imagine how astounding its economy would be without the drag of the MAGA tax econ.st/4ukCyiR Illustration: Till Lauer

When Trump talked about ushering in a "New Golden Age," he was talking about a new golden age for his wallet. America’s Grifter-in-Chief knows no bounds.

America needs proportional representation to break the two-party system. Britain needs proportional representation because the two-party system is already broken.

And then, when they have the votes, they can end this madness by enacting proportional representation. leedrutman.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Before pundits explain away Taylor Rehmet’s historic TX win, here’s the lesson: voters are fed up with an economy that isn’t working—even many who backed Trump. Candidates win by running on middle-out economics: raising wages, fighting corporate power, and lowering costs.
