H.R. 9495 Passes a Grave Threat to Free Speech and Democracy

Urgent Update: H.R. 9495 HAS PASSED, granting the executive branch sweeping powers to strip nonprofits, universities, and news outlets of tax-exempt status without fair process. This dangerous legislation threatens free speech, civil liberties, and democracy itself, empowering the government to target political opponents and disfavored groups. The vague language invites abuse, chilling advocacy and dissent across the country. We must act urgently to challenge this overreach and protect our fundamental rights.
