Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer Has Resigned A Labor Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Woah, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is resigning amid scandals: www.notus.org/trump-white-...
Only Hegseth has hosted more worship services in this admin than her (& I'm only one to cover them all: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/government...). Hope this stops the "Secretary's Prayer Services"

That Viral ‘Pulp Fiction’ Prayer Story That story really did go viral in the United States and elsewhere. And it all started with 'A Public Witness.'

It's been fun & stunning watching how the story about Hegseth's Pulp Fiction prayer went viral around the world. And it all started with a report from A Public Witness. Here's a roundup of the impact of that report: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/that-viral...

Charles Barkley jokes about Hegseth's Pulp Fiction prayer! 😄
Lots of social media memes, a Colbert monologue, & now this. Lots of humor thanks to a report from A Public Witness: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

I'm curious, did anyone preach at church today from the holy book of Pulp Fiction?

‘The Bible According to Christian Nationalists’ Wins Top Award From Religion Communicators Council Word&Way also garners two Best in Class awards.

We are thrilled to announce that we won some @religioncomms.bsky.social awards!

Sorry to see that

So this isn't some "Turkish psyop" fake story. Unlike Eric Adams & Michael Flynn, I've never been paid by the Turkish government! The cries of "fake news" are what conspiracy theorists & liars like Beck resort to when they can't dispute the facts. 3/3

2. Beck claims the story of Hegseth's Pulp Fiction prayer originated from a "Turkish psyop" social media account. That's false! It was 1st reported by A Public Witness (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...), & we did that more than 14.5 hours before who he claims started this. 2/

Glenn Beck makes 2 big lies to defend of Hegseth's Pulp Fiction prayer. 1. Beck claims Hegseth said he was "badly paraphrasing Ezekiel" but "the media cuts that out." I've watched service & have transcript. Hegseth never said that, only that prayer reflected Ezekiel (but actually misquotes text). 1/

Trump Will Participate in a Marathon Bible Reading

As @ruthgraham.bsky.social reports, Trump to join Bible reading effort next week & read from 2 Chronicles 7 (or is it Two Chronicles): www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...
As I noted in 'The Bible According to Christian Nationalists,' that's a popular passage to misuse: bookshop.org/a/110819/978...

On Wednesday, Hegseth said his Pulp Fiction prayer (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...). That same day, the military again blew up a boat. There's a reason the violent mashup of biblical language in the movie scene resonates with him. But he should keep watching film (& keep reading Bible)

And this news too... At the Pentagon, "half of the 12 monthly worship services have featured a sermon by a Southern Baptist."

Some other sermons were by SBC-adjacent folks & other white evangelicals.

Thx to @briankaylor.bsky.social for such fascinating & disturbing info. #ThisistheSBC

Well, this is the first time a report from A Public Witness inspired an Iranian Lego video. (Here's the report that sparked all of this: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...)

Here they are side by side for reference.

And in Hegseth’s ESV Bible, Ezekiel 25:17 simply reads: “I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them.”

Pete Hegseth’s Crusader Bible Pete Hegseth’s Bible, like his body, is stamped with two Crusader tattoos.

Actually, he has a Crusader Bible: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/pete-hegse...

He borrowed a prayer he said was inspired by a verse & that prayer misquotes the verse. Doesn't fit on a bumper sticker but that's the nuance

Exactly

Pentagon spokesperson trying to defend Hegseth's Pulp Fiction prayer (which I broke news of: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...). Parnell's statement is wrong. It's clearly the PF prayer & it does misquote Ezekiel.

You might have heard that at the latest government worship service yesterday, Pete Hegseth read a violent prayer that was adapted from a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film “Pulp Fiction.”

We broke this story, and you can read our report and watch the video of Hegseth reciting the prayer here:

Here’s Pete Hegseth Literally S the “Pulp Fiction” Prayer At his monthly unconstitutional prayer service, Hegseth delivered a modified prayer from the Book of Squintin' Warantino

If you want to see it for yourself...

...here's Pete Hegseth delivering an Iran-modified version of the Pulp Fiction prayer...

...with no sign he knows it's from Pulp Fiction.

RT having lots of fun with Hegseth's Pulp Fiction prayer. They also posted video of scene with Hegseth's head superimposed on top of Samuel L. Jackson.
