Rededicate 250 & the “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias” Taskforce

Jul 14, 2026

America turns 250 and the Trump Administration is celebrating by rewriting the past and the present. Alison, Liz, and Rebecca discuss how the administration hijacked the nation’s planned bipartisan 250th anniversary celebration and turned it into a tax-payer funded Christian nationalist prayer revival. Then they dig into the report issued by the “Taskforce to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias,” one of several task forces created by the administration to manufacture a “Christian persecution” narrative in order to privilege conservative Christianity under the law.
