The Trump Regime and Bondi’s DOJ are going after anti-ICE protesters who protested in a church that has an ICE Pastor (it’s a thing). The FACE Act is the newest talking point and prosecution point for the regime. What is the FACE Act? Why was it passed? How is it being used against these protesters? Andrew explains it all. But first, the regime altered photos of the arrest of the protester in deliberately cruel ways.
The entire Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is going to hear oral argument on two cases involving laws that force public schools to display a version of the Ten Commandments drafted by politicians who think they know better than parents. Andrew examines the basis for these law: the claim that the Ten Commandments are foundation of American law and government.

Andrew goes over some of his favorite reads of 2025 (fiction and non-fiction). Full lists appear below.

Andrew has been on the road preaching the gospel of church-state separation in houses of worship. But first, we begin (and end) with a remembrance of Christopher Hitchens, who died on Dec. 15, 2011.

You’ve heard a lot about WHAT Pete Hegesth is doing in the Caribbean and whether it amounts to war crimes; but nobody’s talking about WHY.

Andrew dives in and gives you the answer. Plus, Andrew takes a look at the Supreme Court’s ...
Andrew settles the debate once and for all, yes, Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Things are dark, especially this time of year.

There’s so much to cover. Andrew dives into Trump threatening the lives of Democratic lawmakers and veterans; Trump’s awful, piggish misogyny and the White House coverup; and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s apologies tour.
