One of the sinster little "Easter Eggs" Republicans have tucked into Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill"

[Miles Archer]

Tucked into the package is a smattering of other provisions important to the White House — including one that would allow the Trump administration to yank the tax exempt status of groups it says support terrorists, sending a chill through civil society organizations who warn it's a way to punish opponents.

1. ACLU...

League of Women Voters…

2. They don't need to "prove" it, they just need to "say" it

...groups it says support terrorists...

So this would be ANY group with a tax exempt status that says ANYTHING Trump doesn't like.

4. The Truth

Trump hates non-profits because they chronicle him as the traitor, imbecile and lunatic he is.

We got to get the Clementine Clusterfuck in court where the truth — and the Constitution— still matter.

13. Like deportations, once it's done, the reversal could take years.

This is going to pass because it's not a hill anyone is willing to stake their credibility on. Bigger fish to fry with Medicare in the headlines.

10. NAACP

3. 5Calls.org. CALL YOUR REPS

CALL YOUR REPS AND TELL THEM "HELL NO" TO THIS BILL!

Yeah, call them even if they're Republicans. BE A PAIN IN THEIR ASS.

5. If it passes then when we regain the White House

Yank tax exempt status for NRA, Right to Life, those mega churches, and other bastions of white supremacy

6. You bet. Republicans don't realize that a Democratic President can also do a 100 day "Shock & Awe" onslaught

I'd love to see it. With a Democratic President and Democrats in control of Congress, we could make them cry in ways they've never imagined. Right now, they're viewing Trump's second term as the beginning of a dynasty, followed by President Don Jr or President Ivanka. And of course, if the 90,000,000 people who slept through last November continue to do so, it's not that far-fetched. But I'm hoping that enough people are paying attention right now to prevent that from happening. We need to keep banging the drum. No days off.

9. I'd love to see it too, but...

That would require a Dem not afraid to play hardball.

They exist, but they don’t have the full support of the party (or at least the big backers, who supposedly have “decided” that “their” next candidate is a white man… )

Even if a progressive fighter was elected, they might not even have the support of their own party. We need a Roosevelt:

"We know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me - and I welcome their hatred."
— Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Sorry, I’m not trying to dampen enthusiasm…

11. Pritzker, Buttitgieg

They are both capable of that. And they'll do it with a smile.

7. Exactly

None of the three mentioned here should have tax exempt status. I think especially the NRA and mega churches should have never had tax exemption. Any church that has over 2000 members, doesn’t need tax breaks. NRA is a political organization as well as a business.

8. It's like a lesson learned from the Soviets - don't let the churches go free

The resistance such as it was in the old Soviet Union stayed alive because the Soviets didn’t mess with the churches. Seems like Trump et al are making sure that doesn’t happen to them.

Also, on social media all NGO’s are not just suspect but almost certainly commie deep state subversives who drain tax dollars. 🙄

12. The massive tac increase on Universities

Is pretty telling. Education, the only industry the really really hate
