No one would see the glory of God apart from Christ on the cross. The cross was the apex of the revelation of the glory of God—the glory of his grace. "Christ crucified is therefore both the means and the end of God's purpose in the universe." @JohnPiper #SolidJoys #DesiringGod

I got a peaceful easy feeling And I know you won't let me down

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran at 5 p.m. ET today at the Commander in Chief’s direction, in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.

Justice Department Opens Investigation of Philadelphia Police Department’s Allegedly Unconstitutional Permit Revocation Practices “I have directed the Civil Rights Division, through our Second Amendment Section, to defend law-abiding citizens from local authorities who infringe the right to safely carry legal firearms,” said @AAGDhillon. “Law-abiding Americans, regardless of where they live, should not have to worry that their city will revoke their means of self-defense.” Read more: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Justice Department Investigates Alleged Race Discrimination at the City University of New York “Race can never play a role when deciding how to distribute educational resources or opportunities,” said @AAGDhillon. “This Justice Department will not tolerate universities directing educational benefits to certain students over others based on their race.” Read more: justice.gov/opa/pr/us-justic…

The Department of Justice has issued an opinion to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) that its guidelines about disparate-impact liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional. The Office of Legal Counsel found that EEOC’s guidelines pressured employers to engage in racial discrimination. "Despite trying to promote equality, EEOC's disparate impact liability interpretation under Title VII actually fosters the very discrimination its guidelines seek to address," said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. "This opinion will now allow businesses to hire based on performance, restoring equal opportunities in the American workplace." 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Today, the @CivilRights Division announced it is investigating the City University of New York (CUNY) Black Male Initiative, which (as implied) appears to mainly favor Black men. Race should never influence who gets tutoring, work-study opportunities, or other academic support. justice.gov/opa/pr/us-justic…

Though the mills of God grind slowly, Yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience he stands waiting, With exactness grinds he all.

🔥Hot off the presses: @TheJusticeDept issued an opinion today explaining that disparate-impact liability under federal employment law is *unconstitutional*. This is an earthquake in federal civil rights law. If right, this is the foundation to overturn that pernicious regime.

The police can't revoke a concealed carry permit based on arbitrary decisions of licensing officials. Today, I directed @CivilRights' 2A Section to investigate the Philadelphia Police Department's practice of revoking the CCWs of those lawfully carrying firearms in public. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Justice Department Launches Compliance Review Concerning Gender Ideology in San Francisco Unified School District and Three Additional California School Districts “This Department of Justice will not tolerate local school authorities trampling on the rights of parents concerning the education of their children,” said @AAGDhillon. “The Supreme Court’s recent decisions in Mahmoud and Mirabelli have put all school districts on notice: policies that keep parents in the dark about sexuality and gender ideology in the classroom must end now.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Girls don’t belong in boys’ bathrooms & boys have no place on girls’ sports teams.   Today, the @CivilRights Division launched compliance reviews into four CA school districts for policies that appear to ignore biology & promote gender ideology to kids behind their parents’ backs. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…
