The Daily Fuckup

The Justice Department on April 30 released a task-force report saying the Biden administration’s prosecutions, policies and internal practices showed anti-Christian bias across the federal government. The department says the review was done under Executive Order 14202 and led by the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, with the acting attorney general serving as chair. That makes the document an official administration product with a political purpose attached to it, not a judicial ruling or an independent legal determination.

The department describes the report as a 200-page document built from the findings of 17 federal agencies. It says the report is supported by more than 1,100 footnotes and more than 300 pages of exhibits. It also says Justice met with more than 100 stakeholders and victims while reviewing internal discussions, case files and prosecutorial decisions. In other words, this is a large record assembled by the government about the last government.

The report says it examines a wide range of issues, including conscience rights, the Johnson Amendment, fines involving Christian universities, girls’ sports, vaccine mandates and the exclusion of Christians from public programs. It also says the Biden administration used policy and regulatory tools to pursue goals that interfered with Christian beliefs and free exercise. Those are the report’s claims, not findings tested in court.

The sharper point is institutional: the department is using its own machinery to make an argument about faith, governance and power. It says the current administration is restoring religious liberty while the last one infringed on it. Supporters will call that overdue correction. Critics will call it selective grievance dressed up as state authority. Either way, the document is not a neutral adjudication. It is the Trump Justice Department’s case, in its own words, against the Biden-era federal government.
