Governor Walz and legislative leaders have announced a Special Session beginning Monday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m. Lawmakers will take up major bills on health, human services, education, taxes, energy, and more. 

Please pray that during this special session:

Bad bills and provisions would fail

Good and just laws and provisions would pass

And that our legislators and governor would work for the true good of Minnesota.

Let’s be watchful and faithful in lifting up our leaders and our state.

From The Daily Signal:

In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court Thursday upheld the claims of a woman who faced workplace discrimination because of her “majority group” identity—in this case, being a heterosexual.

The decision upholds the rights of majority group individuals to be free from “reverse discrimination,” a right considered protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson delivered the opinion. Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a concurring opinion, in which Justice Neil Gorsuch joined.

The court struck down the “background circumstances” rule imposed by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, a rule that restricts protections for members of majority groups.

From Washington Stand

A new poll is showing that support for same-sex marriage has dropped to a 10-year low among Republicans but spiked to a record high among Democrats. According to Gallup, 68% of Americans overall support same-sex marriage, barely down from 69% last year. However, that “steady” level of support — approval for same-sex marriage has hovered between 67% and 71% over the past five years and has not fallen below 50% since 2011 — belies a stark and rapidly-growing political division.

Gallup reports that support for same-sex marriage among Republicans has fallen to 41%, down from an all-time high of 55% in 2021 and 2022 and the lowest point since May of 2016, when support stood at 40%. Among Democrats, however, support for same-sex marriage has peaked at 88%, the highest point recorded by Gallup among any faction. That’s up from 83% last year. Support for same-sex marriage has not fallen below 70% among Democrats since 2013, when it stood at 69%. Independent voters generally track more closely with Democrats on the issue but are still lagging 12 points behind at 76%, up from 74% last year but down from an all-time high of 77% in 2023. Support for same-sex marriage has not fallen below 50% among Independents since 2010, when it stood at 49%. [...]

However, the starkest contrast is seen when broken down by church or religious service attendance. Those who seldom or never attend church or religious services support both same-sex marriage and the moral acceptability of same-sex relationships at a rate of 81%. Among those who attend “nearly weekly” or monthly, 67% support same-sex marriage and 56% consider same-sex relationships morally permissible. But among those who attend church or religious services once a week, only a third (33%) support same-sex marriage, and less than a quarter (24%) consider same-sex relationships morally permissible.
