NEW — RFK Jr.’s HHS sent out a survey asking employees to report instances of anti-Christian bias during the Biden administration, and the Dept. of Labor announced its inaugural prayer service. These are just the latest instances of Trump’s extreme Christian creep within the federal government.
RFK Jr. is very worried about anti-Christian bias at HHS...under Biden

Ron Johnson just blamed the tragedy of UPS flight 2976 (N259UP) on the government shutdown…and tried to use it to get their bill passed…

As we expected, a STING JET is visible on satellite imagery south of Newfoundland. This somewhat rare feature is producing winds of 100 to 120 mph over a narrow area. It's SUCH fascinating meteorology!
