I appreciate them giving Dark Brandon the power to unilaterally deny tax-exempt status for the NRA, GOA, etc., ADF, Operation Rescue, Oath Keepers [sic], and book banners, and I can’t see any possible way it could backfire horribly with a different president.
This surely will be used to suppress speech because every university, however wealthy, relies on federal funding; and any non-profit necessarily does so as well through for-profit status.
As the piece explains:
"Providing material support to terrorism is, of course, already illegal, and nonprofits that violate those laws should be shut down. But the House bill gives the executive branch the power to make these determinations unilaterally."
