Report details Biden’s anti-Christian bias
The Trump Justice Department just dropped a 200-page report cataloging exactly how the Biden administration weaponized the federal government against Christian Americans – and the receipts are damning.
The details: The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias released the report compiling findings from 17 federal agencies, more than 1,100 footnotes, and 300+ pages of exhibits showing systematic targeting of Christians under Biden.
Biden's DOJ partnered with abortion NGOs — Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation, and Feminist Majority Foundation — that built dossiers on pro-life Christians, including photos of their children.
Prosecutors sought average sentences of 26.8 months for pro-life defendants versus 12.3 months for pro-abortion defendants.
Internal communications show DOJ attorneys mocked pro-life Christians as "culty" and complained about a "very Catholic magistrate" being "particular about… not infringing on the [defendants'] first amendment rights."
The numbers: Biden's Department of Education fined Grand Canyon University $37.7 million and Liberty University $14 million. For perspective, Penn State and Michigan State were only fined $2.4M and $4.5M after the sexual assault scandals related to Jerry Sandusky and Larry Nassar.
Weaponizing government against the cross: The bias wasn't just prosecutorial. The report documents the FBI's Richmond Field Office surveilling traditional Latin Mass Catholics, the IRS denying tax-exempt status to a Christian group because its Bible teachings "are typically affiliated with the [Republican] party," and HHS rules preventing Christian families from fostering children.
Hypocrite: Biden brandished his Catholic identity at every opportunity he could. But he championed taxpayer-funded abortion and declared "Transgender Day of Visibility" on Easter Sunday.
The last word goes to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who said: “No American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith. As our report lays out, the Biden Administration’s actions devastated the lives of many Christian Americans. That devastation ended with President Trump."

MAHA win: No pesticide protections in farm bill
The House voted to gut a provision that would have made it nearly impossible to sue pesticide companies – handing the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ movement one of its biggest legislative wins yet.
The details: The House voted 280-142 to adopt an amendment from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna stripping liability protections for pesticide manufacturers from the farm bill. 73 Republicans crossed over to back it.
What the provision would have done: Blocked lawsuits against pesticide makers as long as they followed EPA labeling rules and barred states and localities from imposing stricter labeling standards of their own.
Quote: Rep. Luna, aligned with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement, called the shield a giveaway to corporations she says are "responsible for giving children and adults cancer."
What the other side is saying: Critics warn the change could push grocery prices up if companies face new litigation exposure.
Zoom out: The fight lands as the Supreme Court weighs whether Bayer can be shielded from claims its weedkiller Roundup causes cancer.
Real talk from G: Don’t miss the bigger signal here. The GOP used to reflexively side with Big Agriculture. Now 73 Republicans are backing Rep. Luna — proof that MAHA has officially entered the chat.
