President Trump signed an executive order Friday to establish a White House Faith Office in an effort to empower faith-based entities.

The office will be part of the Domestic Policy Council and headed by a senior adviser tasked with consulting with various faith and community leaders in an effort to defend religious liberty and combat antisemitism, anti-Christianity and other anti-religious bias, according to the order.

In the order, Trump directed the office to identify ways to reduce burdens on the free exercise of religion and direct all federal agencies to designate a “faith liaison” within 90 days.

The office inside the White House would coordinate with Attorney General Pam Bondi, who Trump earlier this week said would be named the head of a task force to “eradicate anti-Christian bias.”

The office will also advise on policies that can enable faith-based entities, coordinate with other agencies on training and education for faith-based entities to procure grants, and support agencies in development training on religious liberty exceptions and accommodations.

Additionally, it will be tasked with consulting with private businesses on charitable giving and payroll deductions while also coordinating with agencies on promoting grant opportunities for nonprofit faith-based entities.

  1. The way people use antisemitism as a political football is fucking infuriating. You don’t get to install white nationalists in office and have your boyfriend go around making Nazi salutes and then expect people to believe you give a shit about antisemitism. People on the right only call out antisemitism on the left. People on the left only call out antisemitism on the right. Meanwhile hate crime rates keep rising and nobody actually cares at all

    This is totally cool and not reminding me of a certain famous novel by Margaret Atwood with a critically acclaimed namesake series on Hulu
