The House voted against the GOP-led Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act Tuesday, with 256 representatives voting in favor, shy of the 270 needed to pass the bill. Over 200 Republicans along with 52 Democrats supported the bill, and one Republican joined the 144 Democrats who opposed it.
The bill would give secretaries of the United States Treasury the power to designate nonprofit organizations as "terrorist-supporting" and, thus, strip those groups of their tax-exempt status. The bill's passage would apply the amendments made in it to taxable years after its enactment, including those of the incoming Trump administration.
This is pretty obviously designed as a cudgel to shut down pro Palestine nonprofits, which is already vile. But in the hands of Trump and his goons it could be used against anyone they hate.
That's the way it is with these guys... They're useful to block fascists from office if progressives aren't available, but once fascists are in office, they will turn around and hand them more power. They're the definition of fair-weather friends.
