TMI 11/15/2024 - Congress Was Ready to Give Trump Tool to Declare Nonprofits "Terrorists" Without Evidence, AOC’s Instagram Survey of Split Ticket Voters Inspires Deeper Look at Voting, more

This week, Congress voted on whether or not to fast track a bill that would hand the Treasury Department the ability to strip any nonprofit of its 501 (c)(3) status by declaring it a "terrorist" supporting organization. This was set to fly trough easily UNTIL Trump got elected and enough Democrats and even one Republican said it was unwise to hand him that power. Don't breathe too easily, though - this bill can return next year, and wonderful nonprofits like Common Defense and Task Force Butler, who just joined forces to stop fascism's rise in America, could find themselves decimated by it. Next, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decided she needed to get to the bottom of why there were so many split-ticket voters - in her case, voters who chose Trump for President and her for Congress. The results of AOC's Instagram survey are both dismaying and insightful, and inspired ME to ask around to see what insights I could find as well - we report on that. Finally, we briefly tell you about how scientists are closer to finding the key to how life began, by replicating simplified mitochondria in lab conditions.
