This would be lethal for any nonprofit so marked by a rogue official. It would kill their fundraising.
The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

If I had children I would not allow them on today’s social media until they were 40.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

In recent years, I've spent a lot of time in the artist's house, reading and writing, and tending to my wellbeing by savoring art. I'm very happy to say my new poetry collection, THE ARTIST'S HOUSE, is now out! Thanks to the poets, musicians, dancers, and artists who inspire me. 🩷🎉🥳 bit.ly/3Lu3YS8

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.
