Jamie Raskin sounds the alarm on the bill passed by Republican-led House, ahead of the Senate vote, that would give Donald Trump expanded powers and allow his administration to target and destroy any non-profit they deem a problem through the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act.

US House passes bill to punish non-profits deemed to support ‘terrorism’ - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...
"The Republican-controlled US House on Thursday passed a bill that would give the government broad powers to punish non-profit organizations it deems support “terrorism”.
This was the second time members voted on the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, or HR 9495. Last week, after suspending House rules to fast-track the bill, the lower chamber failed to garner the two-thirds majority required to pass. This time, after passing the House committee on rules, the bill – requiring only a simple majority to pass – survived by a vote of 219-184. Fifteen Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure.
The bill, which gives the treasury the power to strip non-profits it claims support “terrorism” of their tax-exempt status, does not require the treasury to adhere to any evidentiary standard in releasing its findings. Although groups targeted could appeal to the IRS or the courts for review, simply being identified as a supporter of terrorism could have a chilling effect on advocacy groups, critics warn."
