15 puppets of AIPAC. I wonder what the back room deal was, an empty promise by AIPAC to protect those organizations the 15 want protected? Israel doesn’t care about freedom and justice in America.
Do you wanna know why? Because they’re pretending to be democratic and ran for a Democratic Party when really their Republican and so isn’t that ironic to put a republican, pretending to be a democrat?imagine the damage they could do. look how sadistic the Republican Party is! 🚫🔴

One of the funniest things about the recent CO election period was the Caraveo/Evans race. She lost, but he painted her as a left-wing communist. She is obviously anything but.
Let's remember WHY those 15 "Democrats" voted for the "label your least favorite non-profit as 'terrorist supporting' and kill it bill": The 15 "Dems" objective is to shut down any organization that supports a ceasefire in Gaza & Human Rights for Palestinians! Serving Trump is a side-effect for them
There should be loads of poison pills to get anyone with unusual amounts of wealth out of public service (for lack of a better phrase), perhaps including enormously high income and wealth taxes for anybody in such a position.
I'm perfectly fine with going back to the August 11th, 1981 tax rates. adjusted for inflation of course. Across the board.
The money that ingested into the machine now to just get elected is a problem. Harris had over a billion, you're telling me that couldn't have been used in more efficient way?
SADLY, we Dems are out of power and can't change ANY laws at the moment, but ABSOLUTELY we should make getting BIG/DIRTY money out of politics a TOP PLANK in 2026 & 2028 campaigns! #EndCitizensUnited!!
If they're a "terrorist organization" we should be taking much more serious actions beyond revoking their non-profit status. What kind of BS legislation is this? It's exactly what we should expect from right wing neo-Nazi authoritarians. Slap a fabricated derogatory label/target on your "enemies".
There has to be an appeals process? If it passes, religious organizations should lose tax free status unless they provide actual help to communities, like, food, shelter, day care....
Not exactly. In order to remove non-profit status the group has to be designated a "terrorist supporting organization" by the Secretary (of Defense, I think). There is also an appeal process built in to the bill. To be fair, the President could order the Secretary to designate any group as such.
The Secretary of Treasury (which would be a President Trump appointee) can name any group a "terrorist-supporting organization" without disclosing the reason and without evidence, and then remove their non-profit status for any length of time.
How many republicans? 15 is not good but there are 213 democrats and 220 republicans. 98 democrats must have voted against it and I’m guessing all republicans voted for it. The outrage should rest on the republicans … those 15 Democrats should be called out by their constituents
Wasserman Schultz voting for it is explicitly hilarious. Like even after screwing Bernie, she's still hated by the right and nothing she does to appease them with fascist friendly bills will keep her safe from them

52 Democrats voted for it, though it failed to get the 2/3rds majority needed to pass. Why do you list only 15 of them?

We have no left wing, only hard right and center right

These 15 Dems voted to give Trump power to dismantle civil rights groups and other non-profits he doesn't like.
They are directly enabling a fascist. They must be primaried and linked to Trump's killing of non-profits.
