This is a problem in 2026 and in the D'ump regime. There has been creeping Christianity in our government for more than a few years now, but this cabal of creepy "Christians" has taken it to a whole new level. And it reared it's ugly head over the Easter and Passover holidays. Jonathan Larsen (of The Fucking News) today puts on his serious JonathanLarsen.substack.com journalist's hat to bring us some of this offensive weird sect of Christianity stuff that's infected this government.

I also shared a segment from my show from January 3, 2020. Trump had just launched an attack on Iran that killed Iranian General Sulieman. I called a random hotel in Tehran, hoping to reach someone who speaks English so we could have a conversation between two humans who don't want war. It was everything I had hoped for!

You Got Your Religion In My Gov't & Military

Marcy Wheeler of <a href="https://emptywheel.net" rel="nofollow">emptywheel.net </a>joins me every Friday to discuss most of the news that you need to know about since we spoke the week before. Today, we began with the breaking news this morning that a US fighter jet was shot down over Iran. One of the two pilots had been rescued. The other was still missing when we finished recording at about 1pm Eastern. If anything happens to that missing pilot, it&#39;s Pete Hegseth&#39;s fault. As Marcy said, we must all call our congressional representatives and demand he be fired! And there&#39;s lots more...

Emptywheel Fridays with Marcy Wheeler

Sometimes I don&#39;t exactly what I&#39;ll be talking about until shortly before the show begins. I had a few ideas for today... but two hours before showtime the breaking news dropped in my lap and my plans changed... Pam Bondi is OUT as Attorney General. We had hints it would be happening, and then it did. Also, the orange pustule showed what a spoiled brat of an insolent child he is with a nasty UNtruth social post about Bruce Springsteen. So, I reached out to The Nation&#39;s Joan Walsh (who&#39;s as big a fan as I am), and asked her to join us. And last night, I pestered by friend Brad Friedman of the Brad Blog (who&#39;s on vacation this week) because I thought I should interrupt his time off to see what he thinks of all of this. Today was supposed to be spring cleaning... that&#39;ll have to wait for next week. Tomorrow, it&#39;s another Emptywheel Friday with Marcy Wheeler!

Buh Bye Bondi, Welcome Joan Walsh & Brad Friedman

Today is April 1st, April Fools Day, and our nation&#39;s biggest fool again made a fool of himself, becoming the first-ever sitting guy in the oval office (sorry, I can&#39;t call him president) to attend a Supreme Court hearing. That the case is over an Executive Order he issued on his first day in office makes it even more idiotic. Or, if you prefer, the word he likes to call other people, &#34;STUPID.&#34; ﻿But we know that every accusation is a confession everything he says is projection, it&#39;s not surprising. Thankfully, our favorite legal expert LISA GRAVES will take some time out of her very busy day to spend some time with us today too... And Bruce Springsteen kicked off his special Land of Hope &amp; Dreams tour in Minneapolis last night...
