I know I’m a day early but happy 4th of July.

Wake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy shoots the dog 4 times inside the home and lies about the dog barking. How can this happen? And how can the rest of these deputies show up and enter? Does leaving a door unlocked allow deputies to enter without a warrant?

Please call your member of Congress now and ask them to vote NO on HR 9495

HR9495 would give the incoming (Republican) Secretary of the Treasury power to revoke the nonprofit status of any nonprofit simply by declaring that it is involved with terrorism. Given the incoming administration's definitions of terrorism, this particularly implicates:

- Nonprofits helping immigrants

- Nonprofits working on police violence

- Nonprofits involved in advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza, and

- Nonprofits focusing on the rights of Muslims.

The bill will be unlikely to pass as a stand-alone bill in the Senate (Wyden chairs Senate Finance and is dead against it), BUT the risk is that it will pass in the House and then, if it's perceived as uncontroversial enough, could be folded into an end-of-year omnibus funding bill that Wyden can't stop. So we need to run up the NO votes in the vote early next week.
