    What is up with that headline? Democrats may give??? Repubs got a trifecta and they have the supreme court. Democrats have little say in the matter.

      You know that this term isn’t over yet? Congress can still pass laws- well, for the like one or two more weeks they work this year before taking off for Thanksgiving and like three weeks for Christmas, anyway.

          That’s the point. Many Senators are taking their holiday leave early in defeat. Republicans could potentially begin legislating now if they have majority.

    Under the bill, the Treasury secretary would issue notice to a group of intent to designate it as a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Once notified, an organization would have the right to appeal within ninety days, after which it would be stripped of its 501©(3) status, named for the statute that confers tax exemptions on recognized nonprofit groups.

    The law would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require the Treasury Department to provide evidence.

    “Your appeal is denied without comment.”

    Something tells me that NONE of the actual terrorist supporters - which are entirely on the right wing by the way - will get messed with in any way, whatsoever.

    Nonprofits, believe it or not, include many hospitals. It’s a tax loophole for corporate. They get the money back as bonuses.

    I think he’ll leave corporate America be on this.

      This is so ignorant and naive. Totalitarian means total control. Previous laws and regulations are moot.

        Then maybe get that surgery you’ve been putting off NOW. Before January.

        I’m listing each medical institution I’ve worked with and associated with in the back of my brain and the only locations that come to mind as not non-profit are university hospitals. Most hospitals work the non profit angle. I encourage you to Google your 3 closest hospital systems and see what you come up with regarding non profit status.

        The university hospital issue strikes me as something we should all be considering right now, the contribution of university hospitals in practical hands on research via the educational half of their institutions. Many an experimental or top line not available elsewhere medical treatment is found at a university hospital. The other piece of university hospitals is they are magnets for degreed talent, including doctors, mid-levels, and nurses.

        If anything, I see him leveraging on it, like using section 230 to make YouTube not moderate anything.

            Depends. Knee replacement is one where you typically decide when, and it can be life changing. Gastric bypass. Shoulder replacement. Maybe that lumbar discectomy to potentially solve back pain. Movement altering lipoma removal.
