In comments that are published on the State Department's own website, overgrown Bunyan Stephen Miller, aka White House Deputy Chief of Staff, remarked that, quote, it's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who are assembled, to be blunt, not one of them that's demonstrating looks like a normal person.
They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism.
I'll just leave that there for students of history, common sense, and a modicum of humanity to do with that what you will.
He also said that the countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence, aka NSA, The M7 would be used to debank, defund, and disrupt left-wing groups, dismissing civil liberties objections and calling them enemies of civilization.
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said the government is examining nonprofits and charities for alleged illicit financing, foreign influence, and tax-exempt abuse, while claiming a new operational alliance between international Marxism and radical Islamic movements.
As reported by Breakthrough News, quote, this surge has seen a shift in strategy.
Instead of militarized occupations and high-profile raids, the agency is relying on quieter operations and using more surveillance tech to carry out allegedly targeted arrests.

HR 7661 would ban federal funding for schools that provide or promote materials deemed sexually oriented to students under 18.

H.R. 8705, dubbed the Charlie Act, would withhold funding from public schools that teach inclusivity, especially when it relates to race and gender.
It's an amalgam of the two previously mentioned bills and would create the opportunity for rampant book bans, not to mention the whitewashing and straightwashing of American history.
As reported by A More Perfect Union, as the apocalyptic red and smoky skies choke everything that breathes, six of the world's largest oil and gas companies will earn roughly $94 billion in profits in 2026.
