By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to assist faith-based entities,

Which faith? Why doesn't the announcement declare that all faiths will be equally represented and defended? Why is she a christian pastor? What.The. FUCK. Happened to separation of church and state?

They were deists. Jefferson even wrote a new version of the Bible that excluded all the supernatural events.

Sure they were into philosophical debate and such but they deliberately excluded it from government.

They weren't ok with one side of these debates having a power to persecute the other.

Separation of church and state isn't actually in our constitution, sadly

The closest it gets is saying congress can't make a law favoring any religion, nothing about the president doing batshit stuff religious wise

Symbolic .... it's also the point where I've completely lost faith in the United States

Is anyone suing over this yet?

"Get in line!" ;) Seriously... they have generated so many lawsuits already and this was just announced today.

I'd imagine it would go to the Supreme Court who would rule:

"Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Not Congress, he's the Unitary Executive.

The most opressed white christian male snowlakes killed DEI on per-institution level to create a whole institution for it.

Christians are jealous of the Borg and this is how they force their sick twisted lifestyles on the rest of us. It's your hell, you burn in it.

Keeping Track of the 2nd Trump administration!

One thing Donald Trump and the extreme right were very good at doing is burying the track record of his first presidency from 2017 to 2021.

Keep Track is dedicated to literally keeping track, day by day, of the policy decisions made by the new Trump Administration.

That is not to say we're interested in the crazy things he says or tweets, he clocked over 30,000 lies the last time he was in office, I don't see how it's possible to track all of that. This is about POLICY. Nominees, executive orders, signed laws, and so on.

Subject line format should be {{date}} {{event}} so: "01-20-2025 - Trump is sworn in."

The international date format of 2025-01-20 is also acceptable!

Links should be to verifiable news sources, not social media or blog sites. So no Xitter/Truth/Youtube/Substack/etc. etc.
